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.

Boyle I went into the hospital the paler day to see a friend who has been there for some time. 'It is funny . that feeling you get when you step inside a hospital door and- the strange smell of antiseptic and other things reaches out and tickles you in, the nose. In a sense you feel a bit afraid, I guess all of us are afraid of the time when we may have to spend time in the hos- pitTalhios world ofa hOsPital is a world in which we don't feel at ease, You walk along following the pert, little nurse with her swishing skirts and you feel awkward because your heels are making such a elatter on the hard floor. A doctor will walk by looking just as much at ease as if he were a professional speaker at a banquet. Nurses come along wheeling a little cart and you see a pain drawn face that looks to be as white as the im- maculate sheet on which it is outlined. The very fact of sitting in a hospital is an experience in itself, You get the smell of ether orechloroform and the acrid, almost sweet smell of various kinds of medicine. You can almost feel the fact that there are flowers sprinkled through all the rooms in the great building, -Maybe it's just be- cause you expect to find flowers in a hospital or then again it may be the smells that are present in the over all for which you are conscious of. Then there are the sounds of the el- evator slowly climbing away off in another part of the fluilding. You wonder whether it's a poor devil who was smashed up in an accident or whether it's another patient going to the operating room. The sounds of running water . , that always seems to be present in a hospital, Literally somebody always seems to sparkling; There are also the sounds of babies' crying and the moans of 'pain weary people that seem to escape from open doors like little bursts of steam front a valve, Somebody will• start cough- ing and' keep it up until you imagine they are dying with it. You hear the rattle of dishes in a nearby scullery, :*eoanadey.body getting the evening meal There is something fascinating about a hospital . . truly fascinating. It's so easy to imagine the doctors and nurses in a light-scrubbed room work- ing to save a life , . . . . and then think of the strange stories you would know if you knew about each one of the oc- cupants of those beds. Here is a woman with her first baby . . here one having her seventh, In 'this room there may be a man who doesn't want to keep on living because dying seems easier . .and here a man who is fighting desperately to hang on to a slowly dying spark of life because he feels he hai so much to live for. Yes, hospitals are truly interesting and fascinating. Victoria Street Wingham Your Authorized Dealer for • Chrysler and Plymouth ears and Fargo. Trucks PHONE 411, WINGHAM, ONT.
