Myers outlined the recent
advances that have been made in
cancer research and treatment.
What progress is being made? A
simple question, but a difficult one
to answer. In the 80's one in four
were being cured, today it is one.
ie. three; and it is believed it can
be brought to one in two of all
cancer diagnosed. In. 1900 cancer
held seventh place as the 08,1130 of
deaths in the United States. It now
ranks second as the cause of
death. In all aspects of canner re-
search Canada ratty favourably
with all countries of the world. In
1945-46 less than $100,000 wee spent
trn reasearch, but by 1960 it had
reached two million dollar;!, which
incidentally is the budget again
this year,
Half of the budget is allotted
to the National Cancer institute for
research, half-milflon to the On-
tario Cancer Treatment and Re-
search Foundation at London, with
the balance devoted to edaeation
of the public, and a wide variety of
services to cancer patients.
Dr. 'Myers then dealt with the
tispects of cancer under four
headings: Causes, diagnosis., treat-
ment, prevention. In each cast she
detailed a wile variety of informa-
tion dealing with each heading. Dr.
Myers all through her address
stressed the need for early deteer,
tion ,anti early treatment. The
earlier the treatment begins the
greater -opportuutly for cure. The
fact that greater advances have
been made in this, has been a fac-
tor in the saving^of more lives.

Many hundreds of our readers,

years spent In the "little red school - many years, .and are still doing
the same job.
Modern texts and perhaps More

been written about the need for
higher education, and the need for
top performance and hard work
by all young people. This may
well be true, but all of this is de-
pendent upon the elementary years
of education, and the "little red
schoolhouse" is doing its job well,
.Typical of these smaller schools
and the children who attend them
are S.S. No. 10, Kinloss, and its
students.
The first school was built of
logs in 1860, and was situated ac-
ross the road from the present
site. inside the 18x30 foot build-
ing were benches along the walls
for the pupils to sit on. The 1860
school was built at the outrageous
cost of $160,00. The second school
was built in 187a and the cost was
$764.00.
On November 12th, 1930, the
,present coilerete• and brick struc-
ture was opened just across the
road (2nd concession of Kinlossi
from the first school. incidental-
ly, the first teacher was Thomas
Grant, Enrolment in the present
school is 35.
