The.. 1951 campaign of the. Canadian Can- cer Society gives everyone the .privilege of joining the only national 'agency devoted to the cause of- cancer control. A,, large part of every dollar contributed is used for cancer research. Part of the money pays for' public and professional education which, on the basis of present knowledge alone,, can double 'the number of lives saved, A part of the money ` is used for service to cancer patients. Help science help - yon! Help guard you'' family!. Help to. conquer cancer --by contribut- ing to'the 1951 campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society! IT IS GENERALLY CONCEDED that there's. a degree, oaf gambling spirit in all of us. . In some 'cases only a "sure thing brings- it rings it out. ' Well, here's a genuiine, 14 karat, straight- fromlt-the feedbag "sure -thing" that every one of us can have a. piece of . . . the Canadian Cancer Society. "There's no such thing es an incurable disease," says science. "There are only dis- eases for which the cure is not yet known." On this very logical premise, cancer re- search is no gamble—it's a long term invest- ment with a precious dividend of life itself. Along •the many avenues of research which may lead to discovery of cancer's cause and cure, science is finding new techniques of eancer control.which may someday save your life or that of someone dear to you, _.•Today, The Squir EVERYONE KNOWS the ofwaii is squirrels in the have of storing up a supply bole of a hollow tree,. comments The Printed • 'Word. Nor is it hard to understand the reason squirrels behave in this way. They have de- veloped an instinct, through grim experience, that unless 'they save •a bit of food to tide them over the hard months of winter, Chances are they will starve to death. And starve to death they frequently do if man or aminal or nature tampers with their meagre savings. Now mankind as supposed to possess a much higher intelligence than the squirrel. Yet men frequently ignore the most elementary law of saving for a rainy day, so scrupul- ously observed by the humble squirrel. This is .particularly true" of men who hold public office 'and advocate policies:that make saving next to impossible. Consider the astonishing figures revealed recently .by former President Hoover of the United States. Taking the entire national in - rels Know! come of that 'country and deducting from it the 'normal cost of living of • the American peo- ple on a standard offidialily established as fair by the United States Government, the balance, lie propeiily founds would be' the poteintial savings of the people of that country. Setting these available savings of the American people against the taxes levied against them, he showed that takes absorbed between 75 per cent and 85 per 'cent of all possible savings! Figures for Canada, were they available, would show the same or worse. Yet it is out of savings that houses are built, farms purch- ased; faotories erected, life insurance provided, old age taken into account. These things, to Canadian men and women, mean the same as the winter's supply of nuts to the squirrel. - And if the Government takes away more than three-quarters of what people save, living standards will fall, not rise. The squirrels know. ',rpm )ur•Early ` 25 YEARS AGO George Armstrong, James Cowan. Harry Edgar Munro, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Munro, died on Wednesday last.

Streams suitable to the 'speckled trout are vanishing rapidly before the inroads of man, consequently conservation of this beauti- ful . fish is becoming a concern amongst in- creasing thousands of our •citizens. Before the arrival of the white man the land was un- spoiled; there were no drainage ditches, no dams on rivers, and no pollution from saw- mills, pulp mills, creameries etc., nor, was there the pressure of thousands of anglers who daily patrol the streams in hopes of taking their limit. The individual angler can do much to pre- serve and improve the 'trout waters of the province: Beating_ the Bomb A LOT OF CIVILIAN defence programs must be revised, thinks The Financial Post. Most of these have centred around the in- dividual community, whereas if a big bomb falls it will be necessary for several com- munities to co-operate. A city that is struck will need outside help immediately. It will require police, fire fighters, contamination squads, doctors, nurses, drugs and food. And there will be little hope of evacua- tion. Even if hundreds of thousands could get out, over jammed highways and broken rail- ways, where would they go, how would they be fed, policed, kept warm in winter? Most city .dwellers are going to have to stay home. That's what the able-bodied Britisher had to do in the last war and that's what North Americans will have to do here if they are to produce the weapons with which to fight back.

Land owners can stop the further destruc- tion of woodland and draining of swamps. If there are dams on their property they can avoid shutting off the supply of water to the stream below.

Like The Air Force IN OUR MILITARY defence effort as well as our conbributioii to the joint North Atlantic program, it is natural for Canada to put much emphasis on 'the air arm, says The Financial Post. That seems to 'be the most popular ser- vice with young Canadians.. This was true to sonic extent in 'the first world war when we contributed many pilots to the RAF and even more so in the second. The pattern established then is evenmore apparent in the recruiting figures at present. For the first seven months of 1950 more men enlisted in the air force than in either the navy or the 'army and in some months air force enlistments were greater than in the other two combined. Not until Korea, when a special drive was made 'by the army, was the ration of enlistments materially altered. Magistrate Andrews has been giv- en authority to prosecute for such. 'an offence. Superintendent Trowhill a n ri his men are at work again put- ting in water, services. At the present time there are ,1176 'con-, 'factions made and 40 shore• ap- plications have been received.

No definite decision is known as yet in this regard, Letters to Editor FISCAL PLANNING Editor, Clinton News -Record. DEAR SIR: There is some evidence of a deliberate campaign being eon- ducted by leaders of. the federal, government to blame on the pub- lic the very serious ill effects of their own errors in long-term fiscal planning. Inflation is ad- mittedly a curse, but our Ottawe leaders should not be allowed to pass the buck and blame it on everything but the results of their own economic theories. Speaking in New York a few days ago, Defence Minister Clea— ten stated: "The armed forces and industry combined must make a frontal attack on the cost of de- fence equipment. This hes be- come so costly that neither we nor our allies clan get what we 4cnow we need without" going on an all-out war economy." The implication is, that high posts are to be blamed mainly on wage earners and industrial management. The fact is that the decreased purchasing power of the dollar results in large part from the inflationary policies pursued by the federal govern- ment trough its direction of Bank of Canada policies. Nor have the alone in in Ottawa been pursuinga Io g-termcheap money policy. Their counterparts in Washington, London end Paris have subscribed- to the seine theories. Since 1932, and more particularly since 1945, govern- ment planners have deliberately encouraged inflation, The blame for increasing costs of defence materials is primarily theirs, not the public's.

Greig, secretary-fieldman, Huron County Federation of Agriculture) Poultry Producers Meet Ontario Poultry Producers' As- sociation held its first annual meeting in Toronto on Friday, April 13. If the attendance at that meeting is ' any indication of the interest of our counties in the poultry industry, then the industry must be enjoying an- other period of prosperity. The attendance was very small with many counties not being repre- sented, If this meeting had been held in December 1949 or Jan- uary 1950, the assembly room would not have been able to hold the people, who at that time were'. protesting the low price of 28 cents per dozen being received for their eggs. Apparently, all that injustice is. forgotten. Today, the price for eggs is satisfactory and the ap- parent need for a strong produc- er -controlled. organization is past. Now' ,is the time we must build, such an organization so it will be the -re; to serve when future prob- lame 'confront us, National Poultry Scheme The president of the Poultry Producers' ' Association, K. M. Betzner, Waterloo County, report- ed on progress`that has been made in negotiations with producer groups in other provinces to secure a national poultry scheme. As egg surplusses are a national problem, the only way that the producer organization can func- tion successfully is on a national scale. A meeting with other provinces was held in Regina re- cently and Mr. Betzner reported that the surplus -producing prov- inces—Ontario, Manitoba, Sask- atchewan and Alberta—were pre - pored to take as vote on a mar- keting scheme at the same time. If they received a favourable vote, they would make use of Bill 82 in the Federal parliam- ent to enable them to set iii a Federal plan to handle surplus egg production, for the Dominion of Canada. At the present time the Mari- time provinces, Quebec and Brit- ish Columbia ere not producing • enough eggs an you ry ocon- ,cider a Von that is set up prim- arily to deal with surplus pro- duction. They have not sufficient production to fill local demand at the present: time. a i a Details of Plan The plan being set up is 'to deal with surplus production and will have very little effect on the present trade channel's. The de- duction suggested is one cent per dozen on eggs. This immediat- ely raises a sit:erne of protest from producers as being too. high. When it is pointed out that it will take several millionsof dollars to handle the 500,000 cases of eggs that are surplus each year, then it is easier to understand why we need, one cent per, dozen to finance this venture. We should not mind contribution of one cent per dozen to our organization if it will give some stability to our egg prices.
