Canada ist year, The tragedy of it is that the majority of cancers are curable if caught in time, Prompt diagnosis and treatment gives the greatest hope of cure. Many people are ignorant of the true facts about cancer, Because of their ignorance they allow themselves • to become victims of blind, unreasoning fear which pre- vents them from thinking and act- ing rationally in connection with the disease.

Farmers Supply Province with Cream...and Butter ,- The cream cans at"the farm gate are:: the label 'of the backbone of Canadian.agriculture, the. general farmer, Altogether some 60,000 Ontario, farmer's are Cream producer's, the men whose dairy herds keep the rest of the province supplied with cream and butter. But they don't depend, on their dairy herds alone, in most cases. These are the men who often keep a few pigs, grow cereal grahe perhaps even sugar beets and other Crops, and assure Ontario and other markets of the necessary supplies of both human and ani- mal food. For much of the year, though, the cream cheque is the standby, and it is the measuring stick. With a fair return for his cream, the farmer can count on a fair year, consequently turn his eyes toward purchases that should, but often can't, be made. Sometimes his production goes a bit beyond demand, hut farmers usually believe in producing for plenty, in preparing for a rainy day. In 'Canada that rainy day could come with the increase in butter consumption of about three pounds pee Capita in one year, which would put the country in the but, ter scarcity category, That, of course, would Mean pride rises. This would do no good for either producer or consumer, And is the very thing farmers want to avoid, nrY 20th he punt ot idle l" untirttA~lr , In addition a contest is being sponsored by the -Ontario Radio Farm Forums, offering $609 prize money for the best sag.' tions as to how to reduce rural automobile accidents, Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture officials have announced that. resolutions on safe driving passed at the various rallies will be con- sidered by the Federation executive and, if suitable, Will be presented to the Ontario government, The campaign has the endorsement of the Provincial government, Potatoes Diverted: To Starch Plants Announcement r iMc, Ga rdiner, es b e en made by 11/Mister of Agriculture, that the.
