from the City Hall in Vienna.

M King rag added that, in ac-

the Canadian killer list after
heat't-eirculatiou disease. ..
There is risingpublic s
i p tupport
for this policy, according to a
recent Gallup Poll. In " 1954,
four out often Canadians rated
eancer:rresearch for top .support.
Today, the eount is six out def
ten.
Thus, more than half of ' the
funds donated to the Canadian
Cancer Society are turned over
to the National Cancer Institute
of Canada which , allocates
grants. The NC,I current grants'`
total is over $2,129,000. (The
Society also supports public edu-
cation.)
The Institute, which finances
about 75 per cent of basic can•
cer r search in the a untr new

J. o
spends 25 tunes more than it
did at its .start in 1947. About
80 per cent of its budget comes
from the Cancer Society.

NCI providesfull suport, in
collaboration with the univers-
