'An A:tsttan-who had suffered in Dachau concentration camp eniigratedp to Vancot>iver where his wife was treated for pincer at the B.C.

And so we inherited his eetateen his death. *ow comes this surprise from the City Hall in Vienna. That city established a fund for 'the, benefit of Dachau ' victims whe were citizens of m Vienna. They are sending us as sole heir ;the portion allo&ated to our Aus- trian benefactor." r." M King rag added that, in ac- cordance with national policy of they Cancer Society, all be- quests'�and "in memoriam" gifts are ear. hnar;ced, unless •otherwise specified, for basic research into the cause the cure and he pre- vention : t pr vention of cancer, Number 2 on 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 e 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. This se s rhe of articles a es is'based on a tour of basic research estab- _ hshments ---nearly 30 of them of varying size from Halifax to Vancouver -as a guest of the Society: About 300 professional Men and women are working on 'various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle presented by cancer, not Counting _armies of technicians. (Since almost all of these pro- fessional. people hold a doctor- ate degree in one, or more spec- ialities, :nciuding medicine, the prefix "Dr :' has been dropped.) NCI providesfull suport, in collaboration with the univers- ities, for five leading cancer re- search units on the campuses of British Columbia at Vancaver; Alberta at Ednionton; Saskatch- ewan at, Saskatoon; Western On- tario at London, and McGill et Aids Cancer Campaign Montreal, the last established 1 65 inthe newvircular 8 h it u ar tow- s 5cc ei of the McIntyre Medical Sci- ences `Zluiicling.

NCI supports some clinical research and there is good collaboration between the two fields. • In addition to professional salaries and • tellowships,4, NCI grants substantial sums for equipment and supplies, ranging from mice to microscopes.
