HAVE AN X-RAY; FIGHT TB .

coatlelae District residents will have an opportunity to help
themselves, help their comrhunity and help their nation in the re-
Ientless fight against tuberculosis, when the Chest st ey: clinic visits
Castlegar and Kinnaird, next week.- ;

Of all the dread diseases that have plagued humanity since time
began, The TB germ is no longer the terrible killer it used to be.
Slowly man is winning the fight. Fewer people die from TB every

year. Fifty years ago, 200 people out of every 100,000 died fromthe | rrom the audience point of view,

disease. Today only 17 per’ 100,000 die from it.

The fight is far 'from won yet, however. Though the death rate | 2
has been curbed rapidly, the incidence or sickness rate has by no
means kept pace. There are: still at least 10,000 new cases of TB in
Canada every year (about 28 per day), TB is still Canada’s leading’
cause of. death in the 14 to 40 age: group. TB still kills about 200
people a month in Canada, and about half of these are over 40,

TB can strike anyone. Memb of i i ath-
letes, actors, doctors, radio stars, ‘college professors, farmers, lab-
orers, school teachers, are all among the persons who have had TB.
They didn't inherit tuberculosis — they weren’t born with-it. They

* caught it from somebody else who had it, someone who, Perhaps,
didn’t know TB germs were in his body.

That's the sinister thing about this dread killer. The victim

loesn’t usually know he’s ‘sick. When symptoms. appear it’s often
too late for remedies. The only way to stamp out TB is by discover-
ing every case in its first stages when it can be more easily cured.

The best way of discovering TB is by means of Chest X-Rays.
That's why X-Ray clinics, paid for by the sale. of- Christmas Seals,
tour each section of Canada- periodically. i

An X-Ray takes only.a few minutes. It i no
and of course, it’s just as painless as taking : a photo. The few min-
ates of time is the only cost, — a small price to pay for being sure
that one doesn’t have TB, and that‘one isn’t spreading TB to others.

THE CANADIAN TAX BURDEN:

The heavy tax burden on C: d is, by the
“Winnipeg Free Press” which estimates that despite growth of Can- | P
ada’s population and production since 1951, it still remains true as
a Senate committee found in that year, that taxes are taking one
-third of the nation’s net income.

Broadly speaking, federal. taxes will take 3 billion in the present
fiscal year. Provincial taxes will take. $1 billion even after allowing
for federal tt: Pp icipal taxes will-take roughly
.the same amount. Total comes to $7 billion out of a net, national
income that is not likely, to exceed last year's figure of ees billion,
and may well be under it. ie ,

Meanwhile the “Victoria Daily Times” notes the staggering
burden being carried by. the people of B.C, who are far and away
Canada’s highest taxed. Federal taxation in Canada this year will
average $333 per’ capita. Provincial ‘taxation in B.C. _will average

The Victoria paper remarks “In the light of such figures, the
ordinary taxpayer may well ponder whether our governments,
federal and provincial, have taken’ leave of their senses.” It.is not
the B.C. and Canadian governments that “have taken leave of their
