CAMPAIGN Among the most interesting of the Kiwanis Club's weekly programmes presented so far this year was the one handled by Mr. C. E, (Monty) Paget on Tuesday, August 11th, Or ganized in the form of a quiz, members were tested on their general knowledge of the pre- sent fight to wipe out Tuberculosis in Canada. Dr, John Whiteside, drawing upon his exper-= ience and training in the field of Public Health enlarged upon some of the information and urged that Kiwanis Club members get into the drive that is moving toward the eventual elimination of a needless disease in this country, Each year about 3,000 people in Ontario enter sanitoria for average periods of twelve months. Doctors and scientists, working hand in hand, have reduced the death rate although there is no marked reduction as yet in the number of cases in the province. The warning was sounded that, in its ini- tial stages, there were no symptoms, but due to the use of modern drugs, even moderately advanced cases now had good hope of eventual cure, Every day 100 people in Ontario become infected with Tuberculosis but skin tests and X-rays are rapidly diagnosing them and early cures are the rule, The campaign to stamp out Tuberculosis is now on, Tuberculosis still is the biggest killer, except for influenza, among all conta~ gious diseases. Science has it on the run but it is up to the general public to do its part. You are urged to attend the forthcoming T.B, Clinic in Terrace Bay. Help the Kiwanis ee VANDALISM AT TERRACE BAY CEMETERY The Caretaker at the Terrace Bay Cemetery area reports that three times this year the water pipes have been plugged with junk... This necessitates repair work, Damage has also occurred at the shack erected as a storage place for tools. It seems that most of this vandalism is done by children, however, cars are being driven in the cemetery causing damage to the lawns, etc, The co-operation of all individuals is requested, Please do not drive in the ceme- tary area unless it is for the purposes for which a cemetery is required, SHIFT #2 WINS SOFTBALL SEMI-FINAL, START, THURSDAY FINALS Last Wednesday #2 Shift made it two in a row, beating salary by a score of 5 to 3.

Current correspondence dealt with inclu- ded a letter from the C.P.R. stating that shacks Council felt were unsightly, are temporary structure slated for removal at a future date, Surveying on the extension to join Super- ior and Lakeview was reported on. Dr. MeA, McCausland will remain as M.0.H. under the | new Township status. Dr. McCausland's re- port indicated that the general health of residents in Terrace Bay is good, Negotia- tions with the 0.P.P. under an increased contract were ratified by By-Law. A progress report on the nearly completed public school | Principal's home was heard and a vote taken on length of term for High School Board mem- bers resulted in P,Gombola's appointment being designated as running until December 1960 (a one-year term); H. Hall - two-year term and J, Wade to act for three years. Councillor B.Bouchard commented on a letter received from J. Wade outlining the regular inspection of swimming pool and sew- age disposal plant. A close check in the swimming area shows a consistently clean condition. The sewage disposal system, while adequate at the present time, is a problem which will have to be faced in future years, Dogs running at large merited considerable discussion and determined steps to eradicate the nuisance will be taken next Spring. A bid by a local resident to pick-up and dis- post of garbage was not accepted, Council discussed the proposed oiling of Pine Crescent, It was felt that this is a propitious time to do: as much paving as possible while the Contractor has the equip- ment in the vicinity. Comparable costs were discussed and the maintenance required on oiled roads against that needed on pavement was a deciding factor in the agreement to pave instead of oil, Hacquoil Construction Company will start work on this year's paving program in Terr= ace Bay around September Ist and the entire project will 'be completed within a five or The Reeve, three council members and nor six day period.
