We know the argument, too, that if they don't buy their firecrackers here the kids will get them some place else.

CONCERN TO ALL Next Stwdav has been. set as the (late to mark the opening of the campaign for the Cancer Society. Et is certain to meet with generous re- sponse because the threat of cancer is one \which every individual fears -alld consequently is deeply inter- ested in preventing. There is ample evidence that the mond\ which has been donated to this rause in least years has been well spent. 'True, there is no specific cure for cancer, and many of its -forms are still not even understood'. But there has been progress. Great strides have been made along the path which leads to eventual success. :\ great deal more is known about the nature of this monstrous killer, and in hun- dreds of laboratories all over the land countless experiments are .in pi -ogress to find the answer and the dire. Those who would scoff are re- minded that less than ten years ago infantile paralysis. or "polio" was deemed as hopeless as cancer — and yet the breakthrough came \with dra- inatic suddenness, and a large per- centage of the suffering- and death has been removed. The same thing can and will happen \with cancer re• search. The tremendous expense involv- ed in this ,search for facts is one \which cannot be met out of govern - men t overn.ment coffers clone. \\'ithont the help of pt.'i's .tis like ourselves, \rho, after all, have a life and death stake, the program could not. go forward: When your canvasser calls .just bear in mind that it is your health you arc safeguarding \:•heli you do- nate. .L\rlotllcr way you can help is by attending the local Cancer So- ciety's i)affodil Tea this coshing Sat- urday. `I'hc' proceeds from this event cvill help to swell the fund.

BOX 390 Dear Editor: Kindly allow a small space in your paper to answer the Premier of Ontario, Mr. Roharts, debate in the House on March 2nd, 1962 on discrimination of the 40 year olds. Because of sickness and old age pension rules, a middle-aged per. son is unable to obtain work. If the age stamped on the nate plate of the unemployment hook was eliminated a lot of middle- aged people, both male and female, could obtain work because they have the experience and are able to work. There are laws against, st ' n. �discrim- ination, , c t un- ination, but the government c is- criminates against the middle-ag- ed class and nothing is done, I have a letter from Mr. A, 10, MacArthur, Unemployment Insur. ance Commissioner, stating that upon request of the claimant the age may be omitted from the 001114'. plate. This is 0111y blanked end gives a wrong impression, Ladies, you will not tell your Lest friend your age.
