S. ATKEY H. L. TOMLINSON Editor and Business Manager Plant Manager Official Printers to County of Huron THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1946 HELP T'0 KILL THE "KILLER" Residemts of Clinton and Huron County should be interested in a province -wide campaign during April that will . be conducted to raise a minimum of $2,000,000 for am all-out war against cancer, which is second only to heart trouble of all "killer" diseases. The three-year plan blue -printed by the Foundation could, if -successful, help cut Ontario's death rate from the disease one-half to one-third. At present Onitariio's death rate is the highest per capita in the Dominion. It could help save 80 per cent of those attacked by .cancer, and lead the way to the solution of the cancer problem by scientific research. The Ontario Cancer Foundation is a body set up by Act of Provincial Parliament in 1943 to fight the alarm- iny growth of cancer in Ontario. It is comprised of a voluntary Board of men and women from this Province, and is -advised by twenty-four leading medical authorities on the disease. It has inspected the seven existing cancer clinics in Ontario, providing additional equipment for treat- ment. Present clinics are located in Windsor, London, Ottawa, Hamilton, Kingston and Toronto. The Foundation also sponsors twelve important re- search projects now under way, investigates proposed and rumored cancer "cures," gathers educational information and statistics from all parts of the world and has prepared the great plan of attack for Ontario. The plan is to organize and operate fully -equipped cancer clinics at suitable selected centres; to organize and conduct prevention cllinics where required; to pay a portion of the cost of treatment for .those needing financial help, and travelling expenses to and from clinics when necessary: to conduct an energetic programme of research and education in Oi ta:do on the subject of cancer until this public enemy is stamped out. Unless something is done, it is estimated ,that 7,000 men and 7,000 women will die this year in Ontario as a result of cancer. Health authorities estimate that for every case under treatment, there are three cases going untreated. Yet 80 per cent of cancer is curable if diagnosed and treated early enough. The Foundation hopes to receive and richly deserves, the co-operation of every community in Ontario. Contri- butions may be made through any branch bank or at the Stratford Cancer Campaign Headquarters, 10 Downie Street, Stratford. EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Great hopes make great men. Daylight saving time is now a local matter. Very little has been heard in Clinton regarding it. The spring season is so far 'advanced that plowing and seeding operations are the order of the day in many parts of Huron County. © 0 Closing , of beverage rooms in various centres throughout Huron County this week, does not affect Clinton one way or the other, but it is anticipated there will be a lot of thirsty ones around Goderich and Seaforth Why chase business away from town with the.all- dayWednesday holiday? A time may come when business will be valued on Wednesday just as much as any other day. Tourist trade is responlible for the circulation of 850,000,000 in Ontario ,annually. O © 0 Three guesses as to the origin of a motion presented to the House of Commons proposing "immediate •amnesty to all persons alleged to have violated military laws during the war." The proposer was J. I. Hamel, Bloc Populaire member for St. Mauriice-Larfleche, Quebec. Canadian farmers are assured a market for their bacon and cheese, at least until up to the end of 1948 With provision for extension to 1949, in contracts with the United Kingdom forecast in Parliament by Hon. James G. Gardiner, Federal .Minister of Agriculture. The net price increase is likely to be $2 per hog, which, in itself, should encourage increased swine production. © © 0 Hon. G. Arthur Welsh, DSO and Bar, director of the new Travel and Publicity Department for Ontario, is seeking a recipe for •a truly Canadian national dish to please the most epicurean tourist. Perhaps some of Huron County's housewives, well known. for •their culinary prowess, aright forward a few of theirs. 0 When Thn Buck, Federal leader of the Labor- Progresve (Communist) Party, states that Canada's current espionage scare is just a "big propaganda cam- paign" by Peine Minister Mackenzie Kiang, he clearly is attempting to draw a red herring across the trail. There are many in this country who are of the opinion that Mr. King did not act soon enough. D O The proposal to organize High School districts throughout Huron County merits the serious consideration of rural and urban people ,and their representatives, alike. From a cursory knowledge of the subject, the advantages of such a scheme, in our 'opinion, would far outweigh the disadvantages. The plain should be discussed and acted upon at next week's town and township council meetings in this area, as well as at the April meeting of Clinton Board of Education. 1 Letters to the EDITOR COMMUNITY THANICED Editor, News -Record, Clinton, Ontario.

It may, however, prove embarassing to the person so named. An executor has to deal with a variety of difficult problems. Many are highly technical ... some require more time than can be conveniently spared. An executor hesitates to take a holiday; he may feel guilty if illness interferes with his duties as executor. To ensure efficient, economical, continuous and continuing administration of your estate, name as your executor THE STERLING .TRUSTS CORPORATION Sterling Tower, Toronto 1 35 years In Business Giue \to Next to heart disease, cancer is the greatest single cause of death on this continent. It kills 1,000 Canadians every month. One out of every eight persons now living must expect to die of cancer, unless far-reaching preventive measures are taken. Cancer is a deadly killer unless the patient seeks early medical advice. But when caught in its early stages, cancer is generally curable. The cause of cancer is still unknown, and there is yet no specific cure. But if diagnosed in time and treated by surgery, x-ray or radium, a cure can be effected in a majority of all cancer cases. It is now proposed to organize an energetic campaign in Ontario against cancer in all its forms. This campaign will have the follow- ing objectives: 7-4 tzz, conquer CU/' 1—To organize and operate fully equipped cancer clinics at suitable centres, where` people may be ex- amined, and, if necessary, treated according to the most scientific methods. 2—To pay a portion of the cost of treatment of cmuor for those needing financial help. 3—To pay travelling expenses to and front clinic: if needed, 4—To conduct an energetic program of cancer research. To carry out this program, the first need is money. Your donation will definitely help to reduce the number of deaths from cancer in this province. It will help hundreds of people to be medically examined in time and to escape from the deadly clutches of cancer. It may well help research scientists to dis- cover a cure for cancer and so free mankind forever from the dread scourge of cancer. This appeal is for anobjective of $2,000,000 to provide for a three-year program of cancer research, treatment and province -wide service, ONTARIO CANCER FOUNDATION Thio organised drive against cancer is a joint effort of The Ontario Cancer Treatment and R h Fbundallon.and The Canadian Cancer Society.
