When even child survives all. Gary Hook one of these, his doctor diagnosed cancel’ and when this happens at the age of two months the future is bleak. Mrs. John Hook first notec| her son’s prominent stomach early in 1963. Small boys have big stomachs and so do' small ■girls but this one appeared un­ usual. The next few months were hectic, worrying -and — for Gary — bewildering. First came the routine examination by his pediatrician. Good doc- one it. gives hope to of Downsview is As a tiny baby tors rarely voice theiir fears and Gary’s doctoi’ said little. A ■pall on a specialist was next on tjie list. The verdict was can­ cer. The criminal must be ban­ ished. From tinis point, Ontario’s complex diagnostic machinery began turning over and Gary was placed on the conveyor belt. From Northwestern Gen­ eral to Princess Margaret Hos­ pital to the Hospital for Sick Children — all concentrated in Toronto — was a hop skip and a jump. But the speed with which decisions were made and action taken did little to allay the family fears. During anxious weeks tire size of Gary’s tumour was re­ Clinton Legion has been al­ lotted 36 new plots in Clinton Cemetery to be used as war veterans and dependents burial places. The plots are immedi­ ately north of the mausoleum in the newer part of the ceme­ tery. There are only three plots left in the original veterans part of the cemetery. This announcement was made at the March meeting of Clin­ ton Legion by J. Douglas, Thorndike who 'had attended the Cemetery Board meeting earlier in the evening. President Ed Porter chaired the Legion meeting of only 40 members out of a membership of nearly 250. Two new members were in­ itiated into Legion member­ ship, Gordon Burnley and Ern­ est Raymond Gervais.

The hope was that its rate of growth could be controlled so that the suirgeqn could operate. The die was cast early in April 1963 and sheeted wheeled room. .Mrs. Hook remembers little of that day. *T did’ puzzles and painting and that kind ' pf thing,” she. said. -*I found my­ self running in all directions, •anytiring to keep busy,” Just after lunch the phone rang. “The nurse’s voice was so quiet,” Mrs. Hook remem­ bers, “that I thought the worst had! happened.” But the voice was optimistic. They — the surgeons — had removed ’ the left kidney and they thought he had a good chance. The Hooks had two other boys and Graham and Keith were jubilant. Four ’ weeks to the day, Gary returned home as cheerful and lively as you can be when you’ve just lost a vital organ and you are only three months’ old. It looked like the criminal had been declared habitual and put behind bars for ever and a day, but tho^e knowledgeable on cancer matters know better. The chances of recovery are seldom estimated in the first year and most cancer patients wait five years for a clean bill of health. Now a new routine started. ■Check-ups then more check-ups and still more check-ups; Mrs. Hook remembers, these with calm and laughs. “I packed Gary’s special bag in the morn­ ing and then the volunteer dri­ vers from the Cancer Society •— Oh those wonderful drivers — drove us to The Princess Margaret Hospital. First, we went every three months, then only every six months and now once a year.” Mr. Hook’s work could not be interrupted for dlaytime trips but when 'his shift chang­ ed hie pitched in too. More can­ cer patients are “out” than “in”. Toronto’s renowned Prin­ cess Margaret Hospital treats 300 out-patients every day and-1 many must be driven. Mr. Hook helped when he could. He started 'his volunteer driving before Gary was born and -is still going strong. And Ms fellow workers at Canada Packers help also-. They ..drive, they make. cancer ^dress­ ings, and every April they don­ ate money for research’. This year Ontario needs $2,320,000 the major portion of which Will be directed to Cancer Research.
