Cummins a genetic scientist from the Plant Sciences Dept. of U.W.O: was the guest speaker at the Lucan Public School on April 9. This meeting was sponsored by the Lucan Biddulph branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. Dr. Cummins subject was "Cancer Hygiene — How It effects the farmer and you". This was a timely theme with spring seeding about the start, dealing with pesticides and fertilizers and how they effect the health of the public and the people who use them. We know what causes cancer, but we don't know how to cure it yet, said the speaker, hopefully this disease won't be with us in 50-100 years from now. Environment can be a cause, as rectal and colon cancer has been closely associated with overchlorinated water. Through the Ames Test we learn that there are a number of chemicals that contain carcinogens, (agents that cuase cancer) In humans and animals. What is cancer hygiene? Said Dr. Cummins, it is preventing Cancer by avoiding carcinogens, "knowing, thinking and do- ing" for example knowing what they are, thinking what to do about it, and doing It. Pesticides and fertilizers may contain carcinogens. It has been discovered that farm families have a greater incidence of bone cancer and birth defects. When using pesticides and fertilizers be aware, use respirators and check your outer clothing at the the barn or in the base- ment. Dr. Cummins fielded a number of questions from the floor and continued to talk to people over refreshments.

Church news At the United Church the Rev. Elwood Morden con- ducted the Palm Sunday ser- vice. The lastDialoguein the series "Lenten Zoo" was presented by the minister and Mrs. Morden. This dealt with the "Donkey — Proclamation and Response. It was brought to attention that Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, and a donkey probably carried Mary and the Infant Jesus when they fled from Herod. Saying God reveals Himself in strange ways, the story of Baalam's ass was told, and how God speaks through people. In his sermon taken from Matthew 21-10-11 and en- titled "Who is this King?" Rev. Morden said "Who was this Man who 2000 years ago performed miracles and raised people from the dead. Who was this Man who came riding into the City of Jerusalem on a donkey, yet there was something about this Man with His gentle face. that prompted people to strew Palm Branches before Him, and to cast their outer garments in His path. In the year of our Lord 1981 He is almost asunknownto- day as He was on that day 2000 years ago. We should make up our minds as to who 'He is, Remember the hum- ble way He entered Jerusalem, yet there was real dignity and presence in His bearing. Jesus was not diminished by riding an ass, but the donkey was given new status. The story of Palm Sunday is simple, give Christ an entrance into your life. then you will know Him as the Prophet Jesus, The King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords.
