This Society received a Dominion Charter

to co -Ordinate efforts to reduce cancer mor-
. tality, to disseminate knowledge on:' the sub-:.
• • ject of carie9 and to 'establish and .maintain:.
research activities in this field. TO this end the ' •
. Society seeks to obtain money by public appeal,
2 lor otherwise, and to receive gifts, • bequests -and-
donations of property, both real and personal.;
These sources of funds were reeently•.sup-
• pleinented in Ontario by a Legislative' grant
Of haif a million dollars for the studA, preven-
tion: and. cure of cancer;.• The control of cancer
kaa also been 'recognized by the Special Parl-
iamentary Committee. on. Social Seciiiitk, as• • •
being ,a very necessary:part .of "'adequate and
Preventive public_health provision".
At a meeting :of this ceminittee it was
brought out, that fifty thousand Canadians are •
now suffering. from, cancer. More than 12,000
'die of cancer anntially, yet many, if diagnosed-_-
_and treated early, can be cured.

THE LADY OF THE LAMP
Today the Medical Cors of the Armed
Forces is• a highly ,speeia1id efficient and
thoroughly trained branch of the service. The
sick and. the wounded redeive' .the most expert
of medical and nursing care, even on. the field
of battle. Sulpha drugs and blood transflisions
are but tWo of the many "miracle 'treatments"
that are saving many 1ive.• '
-But, •it was not -alWays thus. The nairie
of Florence Nightingale is a poignant reminder
of this fact. It was she who pioneered in bring-,
Mg swear' and comfort to the w6unded.
Florence Nightingale's birthday was ,.6b-
‘ serVed last unith. She was 'born of aristocratic
parents at Eriibly Park, Hampshire, England, in
• an ear y age she maifriest ,a -keu. in-
terek suffering humanitY, arid While her
Parents &Sired to have her enter a, social hte
befitting her station, 'Florence preferred to
visit hospital patients. .
•She was appalled bk. what she .witnessed,
in the uncouth and untrained method§ of caring
-instilled-irt--her-the-desire-to•
improve such conditions, and With -this in Mind
she visited the chief military hospitals
Europe, and studied'their nursing systems. She,
had returned to England: When the Crimean
War broke out in. 1854. Erelong reports reached
home of soldiers dying because, of the neglect
of an ignorant medical service.
• •• Miss Nightingale promPtly. organized :a.
-band of seled nurses, and received permission
•forni the War Officeto go to the Crirnea.- Ar -
living at Scutari with a band of about forty
-trained nurses, FlorenceNightingale found con-•
• •ditions intich worse thanshe had ever anticipa-
ted. No semblance of sanitation; carelessness
of infection, ignorance of the simplest health
rules, and willful neglect, were arnongthe con-
ditions that this Valiant band of nurses had to
OVertome. Forty-two per cent of the Wounded
were dying, when Florence Nightingale ar-
rived in the Crimea: •.Bt a short time after
she had taken full charge, only two per Cent
•of the wounds proved
To these men .she 'Was an angel of .mercy,
and as she' passed •along the corridors each
night, •lamp in gland, to see that all were as
cOinfortable as. human hands' could Make them,
she became known as. "The Lady of the Lamp"..
Her health was later permanently injured
by her incessant labors, • yet notwithstanding
rr
her confineient to a siek* room She continued
to give advice, from her experiences, in con-
nection with hospital reform. A sum of money
.donated to --her -at--the- close �f -the .Crimean -
War :was used to found the first Nightingale
training school ter nurses.
