"Everything we do in connec

aiming to change the death rat
caused. by cancer," • Mrs, Henry
ling of Kitchener told a meet
in of ladies of the distric
gathered in James St, Church on
Wednesday afternoon.
She proved her point by say
ing that "across Ontario where
the education level is going up
the death rate is decreasing."

being made to aid cancer pa-
tients and to control the disease.
She said that in children front
the "ages of five to 14 years,
- cancer'is the greatest killer, bar-
s ring .cominon accidents, and
e that it's the commonest cause
of death in women in ages from
25 to 43.
t "And yet, . such great strides
have been made in research,
• education and treatment of this
- disease in the last 10 years that
! our children will see it conquer-
, ed," said Mrs. ICrug.
Mrs. Kfug hoped that, the hos-
pital plan' which is being so
- favorably discussed for the pro-
vince of Ontario would • soon
, come into effect as it would be
a boon to cancer patients for
the disease is often a costly one
and of long duration.' The worry
of medical and hospital expenses
is often...a' delaying factor 'in the
progress of the patient. "Many
are deprived of the will to live'
because .of worry over expenses,"
said the speaker.
Mrs. Krtig•spoke highly of the
work of the service committee
of the unit or branch, "Where
there is an active - women's
service there is a strong unit,"
she said. .
She challenged .the ladies pres-
ent to work with the service coin-
initteein making dressings and
other a:ctivities.•

Today's higher horsepowers, greater weight, higher speeds de-
' mand brakes with extra margins of safety. Here are four important
ways that Studebaker -Packard gives you this additional safety:
1. Largest brake linings. 195.3 square inches
of brake lining are carried by the Stude-
baker Golden Hawk -largest, safest brake,
lining area per pound of car of any auto-

2. Air-cooled drums, Heat robs brakes of

3. Self -Centering. The entire, oversized
brake litiing area is automatically brought
into uniform contact with the drums, Ae-
duces wear and assures unswerving,
straight -4e stops. ,
4. Self -Energizing. The forward motion of
the car itself help apply the brakes. You
get greater safety, eager pedal action. !
