A number of other "killers", however, are still unsolved problems. In the over-all research effort being made to solve them, the medical schools of Canadian universities are playing an important part. To help strengthen and develop their research programs, the Life Insurance Companies in Canada are providing research Fellowships to these universities, every year. Fellowships are awarded to graduates who have been appeLfited to teaching or research staffs of Canadian medical schools. During the past nine years 107 Fellow- ships of this nature, amounting to half a million dollars have been granted.

As a loyal Brute peninsulan, . I'm 'in such a state of tlamb,nrg indig- nation that my blood is boiling. ▪ * Did you read that piece of as- inine advice offered by the Tor- onto Defence organization? When asked what the people of Toronto should do in cask°, the cily was hit by a hydrogen bomb, do you know what this assortment of boobs replied? It stated that the survivors were to head for tilve Bruce Peninsula. * * * Well, all I can say is: "Hold it, -boys! You're off the rails, aranmd the bend, your Did is flipped, and your marbles ere trolling all over the lace In addition, over my dead body." Things are bad en- ough. around here now, what with the cormmercial fishing gone dud and the sewage system needing an overhaul. Don't let's pile horror on top of calamity. * * •Whaf a colossal nerve! Just like that, they're going to walk in an us, without so much as a by- your-leave. Just move in, bag and baggage, when the going gets tough, like so many shiftless re- latives. * * * I don't notice Toronto saying: "Here, we've got too much in- dustry, 'This town's getting too big and rich. Let's send some of our new industries to the 13ruce Peninsula." .1, * We belabour them with tourist latenature, extolling the beauties Oil our Peninsula So where do they go on holidays? They go to Mus- kiaka, or Lake Simtoe, or Baia, and muddle around happily with thousands of other Ho * No, just won't do, and I'm amid the Toronto Civil Defence is going to have to come up with another snappy idea. Because if they try to force it, of course, we'll secede. All we get now (roan Toronto is a few noisy new'spapets and some lousy TV programmes. Toronto, on the other hand, would Abe in. dire straits if we stopped sanding them our choice beef and dairy products, along with 98 per- cent of our brightest young peo- ple, as soon as they're old enough to work. * * * And, if they tried to get tough about it, we'd stop them cold. We have enough stones on the Bruce Peninsula to build a barricade that would make the great wall of China look like a curbing. And we have what is' probably the most concentrated collection of rifle and shotgun eocperts that ever slipped up a trail, one jump ahead of a game vv.arden. * * If it came to a siege, we'd' live handsomely on beef, pork, lamb, venison and trout. We've plenty of milk and we're ahnost sur- rounded by fresh water. We have enough timber to keep our home' fires burning for forty. years. lit would be tougher to crack itharn Troy. * * Now, alit this may seem a little far-feteheict, !but I've sounded the opinion tif the natives pretty thor- oughly, and they're ready to to the death against an invasion that would make those of Genghis Mart look like a Sunday after- visit from the [Motives. * * * Don't think we're completely oald-biloorled abotit this whole thing. We realize that Toronton- dans are people, too; or near en- ough, and as Christian souls, we'd be duty bound to give them a hand, if worst cache to worst. • * * However, let's not Make this a one-may deal. Alter all, the U.S. and Beitain are expected to sub- sidize countries they !plan to in- vade in case of necessity. We're willing to rtake in. the Hogtowners, on certain conditions. I've been authorized by the Shadow Cabinet of the tentative Bruce Peninsula Republic Ito offer Toronto the fol- lowing terms. * * * First. From now until the bomb all lloronnanians will pledge: to spend all their vacations on the Bruce Peninsula, and their money freely while here. Second. An annual tribute of oil and coal, sufficient to heat every home on rtlte Bruce Peninsula, shall be paid by the City of Toronto. (The bomb might come in winter, and they'd expect to be warm when we took them in). * * * Third. The City of Toronto shall year, until' the bomb drops, pay each [family on the Bruce Pen, insulla the sum of $1,000 for the inconvenience, expenses and plain nuisance it will incur when the re- d'u„oves arrive. That's cheap, when you think of some of the people who'll be coming along. • * * Fourth. The City of Toronto shall maintain aft all times, in the cellars, cupboards and roothauses of the Bruce Peninsula, an ample supply of foodstuffs to feed for two years the entire population Of Toronto. Nothing fancy. Just a few thousand' tons of canned hams, a couple olf billion feet Of salami, ten or twelve freight cars of smoked oysters, and about $20 million worth of liquor. Just the essentials. • * * Well there it is—the Four-Point Plan for ;the evacuation or Tor- oavbo. Simple and sensible. We've got room for them all up here on the Bruce Peninsula, plus clean air, courteous drivers and a lot of other things they couldn't even buy in the city. If they're ser- ious about Coming here when the (bomb arrives, we'll talk turkey on those very reasonable and hum- ble terms. Otherwise, we'll sec- ede and man the barricades.
