DUKES" Remember that old •ery, from away back in your public school days? If you were a little girl in those days you may not be quite clear . „ but in any case it was the challenge of one' young fighting cock in another to. fight or get knocked down. This week ,) ou have an oppor- tunity to get in there and start swinging in one of the most realistie and vital battles of your entire life, Citizens of this community, under the chairmanship of DeWitt Miller, are calling at all the homes to col- lect contributions for the fight against an enemy each one of ns secretly, or sometimes openly fears —cancer. In this day and age many of as are so schooled to reliance upon gfoy- 4rnment assistance for every need, that" we are inclined to sit back in the belief that the government will look after all phases of the battle against disease. It is true that a central authority is spending vast sin s of money in the slow struggle to master this deadly killer, ''but many important aspects of the pro- • gram are left to you and me. - • One of the most vital of these is • assistance to persons who are 'al- feady suffering- from cancer anti teee- • putting up a eourageous struggle for life. In many other ways as well, •the help of an interested public is desperately needed. ° There is an old saying that provi- dence helps those who help them- selVes, and most of us feel that par- ticipation in the fight may at some time merit the mercy of freedom of cancer, The committee chairman report: THANKS EVERYONE! Ally we be the first to extend our thanks to the many, manr:peopie in Wingham and dist riet who. support - 'd • the Kinette Club's effort to 'raise - f:tind for the Perrott family.

We know that every single person -who helped in this cause feels as we do, that helping out a neighbor in distress is one ;a the siP most rewarding of air human ex: periences. If the time ever comes when we can't respond to such an appeal there won't be much purpose existence. We would like to" extend out very best 'wishes .to the Perrotts, the sincere- hope that befo-re long their fortunes will alter for the better. of" .VINFROWM,N, • ed at the- end of the week that be bad received unexpectedly fine .co- operation frinn those he had asked. to act as ;canvasses, Let us accord the same ready understanding when. these canvassers call at our doors, ACTION * AT LAST!

Perhaps the greatest. contri- buting factor to the delay was a lack,, of knowledge on the part of both public and officials, There has been a nebedotts lief in many minds that civil defence is a waste of time because it would prove ineffective against an enemy armed with atomic weipans.- Flow`7= ever, after hearing the rentailsif. the co-ordinator from the Kitchener office the plan assumes new Aspets of practicality.
