April is campaign month for dancer Society "Cancer can be :beaten" - this is the belief of the Canadian Cancer Society, this year celebrating 50 years of progress and life. The Society promotes greater public awareness of what can be done p in the :prevention, early ..diagnosis and control of cancer. Each year, more money is allocated. in Canada for cancer research than is allocated for any' other disease. This financial support as well as time andeffort are paying off. Today, more people are living longer lives; in the 1980's, one ofevery twopatients.under treatment will sur- vive at least five years compared to one in five during the 1940's. The relationship between diet and -cancer is emerging as an impor- tant area of study, investigators are now able to identify populations in geographic areas which have either: abnormally high or °abonormally low incidence of cancer in .certain ;sites, and :studies are ,underway on various diets in case these may have significance. A diagnosis of cancer is not are automatic death sentence. Through early detection, appropriate treatment and vigilance. millions have conquered the disease. Protect yourself against cancer - know the "Seven Steps to Health" and remember April is is the Canadian Cancer Society's campaign month - please given there your support. Got a :beef?. Writs a letter to the editor. h gets it a::> are o Have you ever not ned —1* , i DPd cherish or prize rize o . Isses- sion, fate has a s • sissy- and reminding you t' at. r1g' , r a), sailed objects is not sae of tb sss1 dots a human being sp Dual possess . It doesn't matter if it is sP of clothing, furniture, jewellery or a venncte. It has happened to men and women s' ice tirnze began and will continue By now you are wonde ° what cherish- ed possesion of mine has been clams You probably think clothing; auh,ecaii working in a newspaper business rn n 9�e dirty . Maybe someone spilt sometiss sg on her couch. Maybe she lost her diamond ring. Maybe silt had sr secident. Wrong on all four comas. My "cherished" possession was a license plate - my first ever license plate I have had in my own name. This is not the first time my license plate has been damaged. Two days after getting the car, Number One Son had a run in with poor road conditions and did a number on the plate and one side of the car. The damage to the plate this time was caused by an unfortunate collision with a deer jumping out in front of ?? - yes, Number One Son. The plate got it again as did the lights on the driver's side. The phone call from Number One Son that night, while he was waiting for the police to arrive, is the type or call rill parents dread. "Hi mom, I hit a • deer ! " During the slight pause between the words "hit" and "a" my stomach did numerous flip flops and my mind conjured up terrible things. "Are you hurt?" was answered with "no, I'm OK, but the deer has to be destroyed and we're waiting for the police." ID ittriLINGS y i iingston _71'7 CLAININEMEMINIENINIMEMINIENII Number One Son was in the vicinity of hh; boss' residence when the accident hap- pened and he was calling from there. I'm sure the calming influence of "In- diana" Jones and Mrs. Jones helped Number One Son get through this frighten- ing experience. Being a lover of animals, his first con- cern would be for the deer and as he calm- ed down he would probably start thinking, "mon will never give me her car again." . , s. talking to "Indiana" the next day, nu said he wasn't sure who to feel sorry for first - the deer, Number One Son or the car. When re viewed the damage to the car, we were quite surprised. It could have been a lot worse. Unfortunately the deer had to be destroyed, but most important - Number One Son was not physically injured. Living in a rural area such as ours, it is heart-warming to know that we can usual- ly find people close at hand to lend moral support and be a calming influence to so- meone who finds themselves in a frighten- ing situation. So to "Indiana" and Mrs. Jones - our heart -felt THANKS! I've already told Number One Son that next year for Christmas I would really like a personalized plate. —But I think-%ill-keep-nny-crinkled-plate- a piece of tin can be replaced anytime. My cherished Number One Son cannot be replaced! P.S. Hope no one panicked when they saw my little picture on the front page last week. I understand a few kind souls check- ed the office to make sure I was still healthy. Thanks! 70 years.ago April 10, 1919 This week we will take a look at some advertising in the April 12, 1919 issue.
