By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG Speaking to an audience of over 50 men and women Thursday evening, Dr, Boris Ragula, consulting physican to the Cancer Society, reported that ap- proximately 9,000 deaths can be predicted within the next year in Canada from lung cancer. "Not only is smoking bad for you", he warned "Being around others who smoke can also be very harmful". "While the pollution control allows up to 50 points per million, if someone is smoking in a car with you, the pollution count may rise as high as 200 points per million". In order to lesson the risk of cancer of the bowel he stressed the need for a higher con- sumption of fibre in our daily diets. He quoted Dr, Denis Burkett, a member of the Medical Research Council who spent twenty years in Africa as a surgeon who has reported that cancer of the colon and rectum are almost unknown in rural Africa although common in North America, "This," he stated "is felt to be due to Pur taste for highly refined foods", The time required for our food residue to pass through the gastro intestinal tract in western communities is double that taken in rural Africa," Shortly area doctors are ex- pected to become equipped to handle samples of a patients stool which upon examination will reveal possible early signs of cancer of the bowel. Dr. Ragula advised the use of the procedure during annual medical checkups, to cut down on the risk of this form of cancer, "Through pap smears and sputum tests, cancer deaths have been reduced sharply and we hope to decrease fatalities of cancer of the bowel through this new technique", he explained, Following the film, "Cancer Can Be Beaten", a question and discussion period was held with many points being raised, Mrs. Judy Prout, president of the Parkhill-Ailsa Craig Cancer Society reminded all that the cancer campaign was underway and stressed the need for funds for further cancer research. Members of the executive group include Past President Betty Shelley, President Judy Pr out, Vice President Ruth Arnel, Secretary Libby McLachlan, Campaign Chairman Mary Eagleson, Canvass Chairman Ruth Garrod, Educational Chairman Gwen Edmunds. Following the meeting refresh- ments were served and those present invited to view the Mrs. Bruce Fraser and Mrs, F. Cox, Ailsa Craig and Mrs. M.
