Cancer Epidemic Getting Serious (By R. S. Atkey) "If the same number of people died of poliomyelitis and diph- theria each year as die of lung cancer there would be a national outcry," Dr. G. P. A. Evans, di- rector of Huron County Health Unit and medical officer of health for Huron County, told members of Huron County coun- cil at their October session in Goderich. Dr: Evans said that the Can- cer Society, Huron County Tub- erculosis and Respiratory Dis- eases Association, and the Pub- lic .Health Service, are planning a concerted campaign this au- tumn and early winter, with re- gard to cigarette smoking and lung cancer, "In lung cancer in Canada— indeed, in the whole western world—we have a runaway epi- demic," the MOH declared. Dr. Evans stated that while the forthcoming campaign would be aimed mainly at the child and adolescent, "it is hoped once again to bring home to the adult population the grave perils of continuing to smoke cigarettes." The MOH emphasized that the problem was of "epidemic pro- portions resulting from people going beyond all reasonable bounds in their use of cigar- ettes". Dr Evans commented that if a new Huron County Planning Board is formed — which was decided at the session—the me- dical officer of health should be a member. (Later in the session, Herbert B. Such, Goderich, chairman of the committee which recom- mended the formation of a plan- ning board, commented that all county officials would be ex- pected to lend their full co. operation working through their own particular spheres.) The MOH expressed the de- sire of the Ontario Department of Health to amalgamate Health Units to form health districts which would have surveillance over at least 100,000 people — producing 29 districts to replace 50 Health Units in the province. He said that Huron County (50,000) population and Perth County, had been recommended for amalgamation, which he favored. The rebate amounts to 81 cents per hundred pounds on all beans marketed. Each year, a deduction of 77 cents per hundred pounds is made from all producers by the Ontario Bean Producers Market- ing Board with the money go- ing into a stabilization fund to subsidize exports. However, due to a small crop and high prices last year, the stabilization fund was not re- quired and the rebate of 81 cents represents the stabiliza- tion levy plus 4 cents in interest earned to October 31, this year, 'Charles E. Broadwell. man- ager of thc. bean board, said the 1968 bean harvest will produce one of the lowest crops in years, He predicted it would be less than 900,000 bags. In 1967 the crop yielded 821,567 bags, the lowest since 1961. "With this production there will not be any surplus of beans and with increased consumption and no carryover from 1967, we will do well to fill our export and domestic requirements," said Mr. Broadwell.
