The use of animals is being phased out now and the use of "culture vessels" is being brought in. Culture vessels are a type of container that when properly incubated will produce the cancerous cells and the surrounding area. All that is needed is a small selection of the tumourous area and within three or four days these vessels will reproduce that area. In this way thousands instead of hundreds can be studied and many more samples can be taken. When the culture vessels are being studied they can be treated with any one of the combinations of treatments for cancer that are now available. The samples in the culture vessels can then be transferred to Petrie dishes where they can be multiplied thousands of times over and then can be restudied. This method is also substantially cheaper then the use of animals. The biggest key to cancer treatment is early diagnosis, allowing a longer time to research the proper method of treatment, Breast cancer, which has the second highest rate of occurrence of any cancer can often be detected by self-examination, Dr. Inch said. He added that it often shows up in such examinations, but that self- examination is not infallible. Two tests that have been discovered, however, are making cancer detection easier now. Carcino Embryonic Antigen, or CEA, a component in the blood, is often higher in a person that has a tumour than it is in a non- tumourous person. It is a useful index in the discovery of breast cancer, but it is often cost prohibitive, costing between $100 and $150 a test, The other test that can be run to discover the best treatment for cancer is the use of Estrodiole Receptors, or Hormone Receptors. Estrodiole is a hor- mone produced inthe body.People who are found to be Estrodiole positive can be given chemotherapy, but people who are Estodiole negative are not susceptible to chemotherapy. This eliminates much of the guesswork in trying to deduce the best form of treatment. The biggest drawback in treatment research is the lack of manpower. The time and the expenditure for each patient often prohibits the necessary research except for those patients whose cancer is in the advanced stages. It takes approximately a week for each subject to be resear- ched, and one technician can work on only six to eight tumours a week. The best preventive Dr. Inch stressed was early detec- tion, but the lack of desire by people to pay for physicals is one factor that inhibits this. Under the present OHIP format, one physical is given free each year by the General •Practitioner. GPs are often reluctant to give more, Dr. Inch said, because of the time involved. Tuckersmith Township council, Tuesday night, accepted the Seaforth PUC proposal for three 175, mercury vapour lights to be installed by PUC on George Street, boundary line between Seaforth and Egmondville. Tuckersmith will pay $900 for the lights and attachments which will be installed on existing poles now carrying high tension wires and will pay the monthly service charge. A meeting will be held December 4 at the Egmondville United Church with the ministry of the environment and residents of Egmondville to discuss sewer program for the hamlet. Tests during the summer indicated the Bayfield River was being polluted by lack of a sewer system. Council adopted provisionally the engineers report oil the Layton drain Which consists of 4,014 feet of open drain and one short tile branch, estimated to cost about $5,500. Engineer Henry Uderstadt of Orangeville attended the meeting for the discussion of the report and answered questions from two ratepayers affected, Robert Fotheringham, RR 3, Seaforth and John HaVerkarnp, ER 1, Brueefield. Court of revision was set for December 16. Harry DeVries T-A staff is here to serve you It may be a standard cliche to say that if there is something in printing that this man doesn't know about, then it hasn't been invented, but the case of Harry DeVries it is an accurate statement. Harry has been with the T-A since he came from his native Holland twenty-four years ago, After one week here, a note was sent home to the people he was rooming with informing them that there was a definite com- munication problem and he may not be employed long at the T-A. He has never left. Harry has a wife and four children, and has lived in Exeter for nearly twenty-five years. He spends most of his spare time camping in provincial parks, where he exercises his shutter finger by doing slide photography, "Always nature shots" he maintains, "because people don't want to see other people unless they are involved," Harry DeVries' is one of the main cogs in the wheel at the T-A and is largely responsible for the polished professional product that the T-A turns out each week. Six ratepayers were at the meeting to hear the preliminary report of the Sinclair drain as presented by Mr, Uderstadt for the repair and improvement of it. They were Robert McGregor, Irvin Ferris, Ronald McGregor, all of RR 2, Kippen and Michael Connolly, Peter Oud and Eli DenyS, of RR 3, Kippen, After explaining the preliminary report, Mr, Uder- stadt was authorized to complete it. A tile drain loan application for $21,000 was approved. Council passed an ammending by-law for final cost of $35,315 on the Dill drain, Clerk James McIntosh reported 20 children, some on a part time basis, attending the Vanastra Day Care Centre. A full capacity is 34 by government, regulations. Remuneration payments of $1,075 to the reeve and $800 to other council members was approved, These are unchanged from last year, The first meeting in the new year will be January 6. - STUDENTS Typewriters for Sale or Rent Exeter Council reached a final decision regarding the future of the town hall belfry at its regular meeting held Monday night. The structure was to be remov- ed Wednesday as a result of that decision, taken away by truck to the public works building, repaired, and lifted back up to its familiar position atop the 87- year-old town hall. That final decision rests, however, on the assumption that there will still be a town hall for the belfry to set atop once the repairs have been made. Controversy over repairs to the old town hall continues. A public council meeting was held last night at 5:30 in hopes that the fate of Exeter's most historic structure would be determined. After council's regular meeting concluded Monday night, council went into a private or in camera session to talk out some of the financial difficulties involved in the renovation project. It was decided at that meeting that the special public meeting should be held on Wednesday. Debate over whether to tear down the old town hall or repair it has been an ongoing source of confusion and frustration during the past two years. Petitions from private citizens both for and against repairing the building have surfaced during that time. The controversy has come to a head in the past two weeks after motions to repair the belfry and to tearit down were simutaneous- ly received in a council meeting two weeks ago. The Citizens's Town Hall Committee JAMES LESLIE LEWIS James Leslie Lewis of Norwood Village died in University Hospital on November 18, 1975 in his 46th year.

Predeceased by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Lewis, brother Raymond and sister Betty. Services will be held Friday, November 21 at 2:30 at Dinney's Funeral Home, Exeter. Pall bearers will be Murray Wood, Donald Osbourne, Floyd Riley, Richard McCormick, Ross Hartwig, Blair Slavin and Tom Lessard. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are preferred. MRS. WILLIAM COOK Mrs, William Cook of Wellesley passed away in her 79th year and had recently celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary. Surviving besides her husband are 10 children, Sons, Stanley of Plattsville, Mervyn of Stratford, Allister of Amulee, Russell and Kenneth of Stratford. Daughters, Mrs. Roy (Mae) Morenz, Grand Bend; Mrs. Lads (Ivy) Mohr, Wellesley; Mrs, Ezra (Annie) Kneisel, Waterloo; Mrs, Walter (Eileen) Roth, Gadshill; Mrs. Vernon (Dorothy) Beam, Fort Erie. Service and burial was held at North Easthope Reformed Mennonite church and refresh- ments at North Easthope town hall, Reasonable Rates CUteexclerZime.s.AStionte 235-1331 recommended at that meeting that the belfry be renovated along with the entire building and promised to bring a report including specific proposals with regard to priorities of repair and possible uses for the building once restored, At that same meeting, Reeve Derry Boyle presented a motion to tear down the belfry and clock tower, citing it as a public hazard and too ex- pensive to repair. It was es- timated at that time that it would cost about $1,000 to remove the belfry. At a special council meeting held later that week, council ap- proved $3,000 to repair the struc- ture. But the next day, building inspector, Doug Triebner in- formed Mayor Bruce Shaw that he had inspected the belfry and found it to be "structurally un- safe" and recommended it be removed at once. The Mayor issued an order to tear it down. On Thursday morning, a work crew began to tear out some of the beams in the belfry which some have alleged to be rotten while others have said they are not. At this point, the Town Hall Committee, headed by Doug Gould, arrived on the scene and after some discussion, convinced the Mayor and Reeve, Derry Boyle, that the demolition should be stopped until the 'Committee had the opportunity to bring in its' own expert to inspect the belfry and determine costs of repair. The experts were called in and estimated that the cost of repair would possibly reach $7500. They suggested that it would be cheaper to remove the belfry and ROBERT KENNETH FORREST Robert Kenneth Forrest, of RR 3 Ailsa Craig,died,suddenly as the result of an accident on November 12, 1975.

Our story stated that Miss Miller was the first female ever to win the award. Actually, Beth. Cooper was the first female to win the award, back in 1973. There were two other errors in that story. Robert Stewart won the C.S.MacNaughton Award, not the J. A, Anstett Award, and Carol Dougall was winner of the Warden Novice Award, rather than the Canadian Imperial Bank Award, We apologize f or any in- convenience that these errors might have caused, Council briefs The R.A.P. committee advised council on Monday that land owned by the town on Sanders St, is unsuitable for use as park land because of hydro lines which run the length of the 66 ft. lot. The committee suggested that the land be sold to the adjoining property owners. Council accepted the recom- mendation and passed the decision of evaluating the property for sale on to its land use committee. + + + Council has given the building inspector authority to deliver a letter to Mel Whiting stating that a fence must be erected around his water-filled swimming pool or face town action for being in contravention of a municipal by- law. Councillors were concerned that a child could drown in the pool unless a fence prohibiting entry were erected, ADAMS E Heating & Cooling 40Heating Systems 7-" = INSTALLED, MODERNIZED • and MAINTAINED -,..: . ., ▪ 235-2187 ..: E ▪ 133 Huron St„ East,'Exeter •r";1111111111111111111111110111011111[111101110111t1IF:' Continued from front page the inflation psychology," Frazer said. Frazer went on to say the program would only work, however, if the government took measures to stop the expansion of government spending and to stop the spending of money beyond the production capability of country, "People forget that money is only a symbol for goods and services", he said. He added that money worked well as long as the economy was healthy, but during times of high inflation, it is im- portant to control the printing of excess money. He remarked that at the present time in Canada, the money supply was being in- creased at a rate of 18 percent a year, while productivity was not increasing at all. Calling the P.C, policy on wage and price controls a "temporary lever", he distinguished it from the federal government's policy which he said calls for a three year program without any provision for review of the policy during that time. "We say no more than 18 months without a review because otherwise, the economy becomes dependent on the control system." He em- phasized again, that the controls would not work alone and must be synchronized with "discipline in the expansion of government". And Frazer believed govern- ment must also realize nationhood is more than an economic idea. He said there is the emotional and social side of nationhood which must be protected by law. He said he couldn't tolerate Solicitor General Warren Allmand's about face on capital punishment legislation. "The laws must be respected by those who make the laws," he added. Frazer points out he voted against abolishment of capital punishment. "I realize there is a discrepancy between hanging a frightened kid who shot a policeman and not hanging a killer hired by the mafia," he said. Because the discrepancy exists he added he is for capital punishment without provisions. "I believe it is a deterrent." Mr, Frazer returned to the subject of inflation several times during the course of the in- terview. He took aim at the present Liberal government over a document from the cabinet which he said had "leaked" out last week which sets economic priorities over the next six years. "The government was caught with its pants down last week", he said. He referred to what he said was the government's top priority economic item, namely the redistribution of income in Canada. His criticism was that the government was planning to introduce measures to affect such a redistribution without considering another priority, the expansion of industry and production. "The government must not implement redistribution without increasing productivity. He felt that Canada at the present time does not have the productivity or material wealth, required to redistribute income in such a way as to "help all of those who need help." We must have honest productivity to increase the real wealth of this country" he ob- served, referring to an earlier statement he had made about money being only a symbol for goods and services. "We have now slipped from second to seventh or eighth place with respect to standard of living among nations." Mr, Frazer suggested that if the Liberal government went ahead with plans for income redistribution based on the current economic situation, that the country could go bankrupt." Mr. Frazer told members of the Huron-Middlesex P,C, Association that if he were to become party leader that he would provide a "stronger leadership" than Mr. Stanfield, He preferred to state what areas he would personally con- centrate on as leader of the federal party rather than list any major differences with the politics of Mr. Stanfield, citing the need to preserve party unity as the reason. The three-year member of Parliament said that one of his areas of concentration would be creating,a more public profile for what he termed the "shadow cabinet", or Opposition spokesmen, who would probably form the cabinet if the P.C,'s formed the next government, "If we are to form the next government,thecountry has got to have a good idea of those people who would form the cabinet." I would like to get the speakers in Parliament to meet with the media across the country on a regular basis, Despite how well we make a pointinthe house, we are not always heard throughout the country." He mentioned his party's stand on the postal strike as an example of good ideas vocalized in Parliament that did not get very much media play. Asked why he was certain Premier Lougheed would not run for the federal leadership, Frazer said he wouldn't add anything to Lougheed's own statement. "He still has work to do in Alberta for the people who elected him." "I might add to that my obligation to this party is to put myself in a position to get elec- ted, not to sit back wringing my hands and waiting for a knight to come on a white charger to save us from ourselves," Times-Advocate, November 20, 3.973 PagAt,3 P.C. hopeful . Tuckersmith council accepts Seaforth PUC proposal ••1 make the repairs on the ground and presented council with a $5500 figure that would include removal of the structure, repair- ing it, and placing it back atop the town hall again when the job was completed. At Monday night's cpuncil ses- sion, Mayor Shaw announced that this was what would be done. Wednesday afternoon, a work crew removed the belfry from its moorings above the brick tower and attached it to the hook of a giant crane as a crowd of onlookers stood by. The belfry was carefully lowered to the ground where a truck waited to transport the structure to the public works shed for repairs, Our apologies . . of All Types General Sheet Metal Work Air Conditionin Humidifiers Ventilation
