Cattlemen's Association, “but the sale
this year saw a much better grade of
stock offered.”

Prices ranged a cent or two lower
than those paid at Williams Lake, but

One reason for the slightly lower
prices than those at Williams Lake is
the extra transportation charges in-

The Editor,
The Williams Lake Tribune,
Williams Lake, B.C.

Dear Sir: On behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Society I beg space
in your columns to express our thanks
to your readers and thecommunity at
large for the excellent support given
the chest X-ray surveys held there
in mid-October. Although not as many
X-rays were taken at Was hoped and
planned for, the total of 574 was never-
theless a gratifying number.

To those who for reasons unknown
to us failed to take advantage of the
service, we should like to remind them
that chset X-ray surveys are held for
one and all. Tuberculosis makes no
exceptions on those whom it chooses
to strike, likewise there can be no ex-
ceptions in any community which de-
sires to see that everything possible
is done to prevent the disease.

We particularly wish to thank the
Ladies of the Royal Purple, who spon-
sored the work in Williams Lake and
personaly canvassed the homes. To the
Eks Club for allowing use of their
fine hall; the willing volunteer clerks
at Williams Lake and 100 Mile House,
and to the many merrhants and others
who provided invaluable publicity
outlets, we are grateful. And, of
course, to the “Tribune” for’ the fine
job it did in stimulating interest
through its columns,

As you know, the essence or all
Christmas Seal work is the prevention
of tuberculois. This is our goal. We
shall continue to work towards this
in partnerhip with official public
health departments until our people
are free of this wasteful, unnecessary
disease. However, to achieve this it
must never be forgotten that che most
important element is the active and
willing co-operaion, of the public.

Yours very truly,
Alex R. Mackenzie,
Chairman,
; B.C. Tuberculosis Society.
