It costs approximately $30,000 to trace one case of active T.B. This arrives principally from the mass surveys carried out across Canada. At the beginning of the century there were 160 deaths for every 100,000. Today fewer than 5% contract the disease and in most cases early dianosis results in its arrest or cure. All treatment for a patient is free of charge. Following Dr.Uzicanin's talk canvassing material was distributed. Mrs.D.Bougie, census poll chair- man, then presented Dr.Kill-All and his staff. The shadow play was acted by Marie-Claire Coupal, Susan Graham and Linda Ballentyne.
