CAMPAIGN AGAINST T.B.
RUGBY, April 30. The Minister of Health, Mr. Ernest Brown, has announced that the Ministry of Health is making an intensified campaign against tuberculosis. He said that while deaths from all forms of tuberculosis in 1942 considerably decreased compared with the previous two years, there could be no assurance under war conditions that the deathrate would not tend to rise again. The Ministry was therefore introducing the newest method of chest examination by miniature X-ray filming and starting a scheme of special allowances enabling people to obtain free of financial anxiety treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. —8.0. W. Major J. W. Andrews has resigned his commission as O.C. of the Hutt Battalion of the Home Guard. Captain A. J. Gearing, who is being promoted to major, has been appointed to the vacancy.
