No weekly newspaper worth its salt would dare to he withofit the weekly news budgets sent in by the worthy ladies who gather.th'e n'ews up and do ' 1 /411 the C011CCSS1011 Theirs is an exacting- job, and one which most ordinary mortals could hardly hope to handle. To begin with they must know almost •every living soul. in their neighborhood, how they spell their name, who they were before they were married, and how many children there are in the family. They must attend a goodly number of meet ings,in the district each week, or ;cf they don't attend, they must: know \k,ho to phone to get the details. V,ach week they must phone dozens of people in search of news and personal items and they must be ever alert for any piece of news which may come their way. A rural correspondent's job is not always a bed of roses. Lei them make a.mistake in their news, spell a name wrong or omit it altogether and they arc apt to come tinder criticism of the party concerned: If the, printer makes the., error, they are often still held responsible by the injured party. iltival con-e- spondent s are considered to be the newspaper's representatives. in the communities they serve, and they are the handiest people with which to register any complaints about the way in which the news is printed , News gathering in the rural areas can be a thile- e*:011Stfriiihg .prdcess, and frankly, we sometimes wonder where the ladies find the time to do it. When .you consider that almost all of them have their own households to keep them buq, and that most of them belong to even more organizations than the average person, it "is indeed a wonder that there is 80 much rural news, Whatever the. disadvantages. .of being a rural correspondent, .however, there must be good points to- compensate die ladies' for their time and trouble. Whatever it is, the attraction has kept Stillid of our. own 'correspondents on the job for ten, twenty or thirty years, turning iii hundreds oI words each week on the happenings ih their neighborhood., Rural correspondence is one of the most Im- portant parts of the weekly newspaper, May the time never come When the ladies are too busy to gather It and send it in, • MRS.

Cancer Society, cancer. ac- counted for' 15r/c, of all deaths in the Province during 1953. Twenty years ago cancer accounted for 11.85 oi:' all deaths, Whether or not the increase indicates a trend, it is obvious that cancer is one of the big Medical' pro-: bleins yet to lie solved by modern research, I,ike polio and its March of Dimes, it will probably take a good deal. of money and research before the means of abolishing cancer are found. The Canadian Cancer Society is doing its share of raising money for cancer research, and also 'of keeping. people informed about the disease. About one third of .the money raised 'by the Society is used for fundamental research to find the cause and a possible preventative for cancer. Composed of laymen, the Society raises money for and carries on an educational program and a welfare program to assist cancer patients. It con- tributes-over half of the mOney used by the National Canc.er lust it ttie of Canada, an organization made uj'i _ of doctors and scientists, which supports worthy cancer research by giving grants-in-aid, fellowships and scholarships. The Canadian Cancer Society spent $.160,000 'on research and related projects during 1953.
