The campaign for funds was bunched on April 4. The Unit weekly report of May 16 in- dicated that Huron had already reached its objective and was the first in the Southwestern District to do so. A report on August 31 showed that the objective was exceededby 31.7 per cent. Huron is still in first place of the Southwestern District with the highest percentage over objec- tive. A Saturday evening's meeting, Ross McDaniel, on behalf of the Huron County Unit, accepted a campaign award for service from John Hunter, presi- dent of the Southwestern District. The guest speaker's talk dealt mainly with cancer research, Dr. Hasselback began by saying that one in three Canadians gets cancer and one in five dies of cancer. He said that ap- proximately 30 per cent of all cancer deaths are preventable and that there is good reason to think that 80 per cent are preven- table. Dr. Hasselback called cancer a "geographic disease". He said that cancer death rates are about the same in all countries but the types of cancers differ. Cancer is not one disease, he said, but about 125 different kinds depen- ding on the tissue in which it arrives. Dr. Hasselback informed his audience that in Canada the prin- cipal cause of cancer deaths for women is breast cancer, second- ly cancer of the colon and rectum and thirdly lung cancer. However, he said, lung cancer is rapidly replacing the other two as the number one cause of death. Lung cancer is already the number one cause of cancer deaths among men, cancer of the colon and rectum is second and cancer of the prostate is in third place. Cancer of the stomach and es- ophagus are rare in Canada and cancer of the liver is even rarer. But in China, liver cancer is the principal cause of cancer deaths. Dr. Hasselback said research has been done to determine whether genes or environment cause certain types of cancer. Japanese immigrants to the U.S. were studied. It was found that the immigrants got the same cancers as in their home country but their first generation offspr- ing got different cancers and by the third generation they were getting the North American varieties of cancer.

Dr, Hasselback maintains that, "we've got diseases that can be prevented but we have to change our lifestyles to do it." He says our dietary patterns must change to include more vegetables and whole grain cereals and less meat and fats. He also advocates more exercise for Canadians. And he spoke of research into Vitamin C which is developing in cancer labs. He said that lung cancer would be 95 per cent preventable if smokers would give up smoking, There has only been a drop of one or two per cent in the number of smokers within the last ten years despite the increased advertising warning against it. Among doc- tors there are 19 per cent fewer smokers now than there were ten years ago, "This shows that doc- tors believe in what they're say- ing (about lung cancer)," said Dr. Hasselback. Dr. Hasselback went on to talk about clinical research in which cancer patients are involved. Groups of patients may be given different types of treatments so that the groups can be compared to see which treatment works better, Both treatments will im- prove the patients' condition but it is just a matter of finding out which one will help more, said Dr. Hasselback. "We are not offering treatments which don't work," he said, "but just seeing which one works best." For clinical research such as this, the patients' consent and co- operation is needed. Dr. Hasselback concluded his talk by saying that all research blends in together and that it is a step by step process. He told the audience not to expect dramatic results such as a pencillin I for cancer, but, he said, the chances for being alive five years after getting cancer are ten per cent better than what they used to be. He said that American news reports saying that there has been no improvement in cancer death rates in the last 25 years are false. Looking at the total figure, he said, the reports may be true but all progress had been offset by an increase in lung cancer which is 94 per cent fatal in five years. When asked a question from the audience about the con- troversial drug laetrile which some people swear is a cure for cancer, Dr. Hasselback emphatically stated that it is not a cure. He said that any time held in Exeter, Clinton And Goderich and, panel was available to answer questions, And the report stated that calendars pamphlets and posters were distributed to doe- tors, hospitals, libraries And schools.
