Blood Donor Clinics need
all the support they can
get from the public, not
everyone's gift of blood
can be accepted.
It is important that the
donors be in good health
and not require con-
tinuing medical care or
medication for any
illnesses.
Anyone between the
ages of 18 and 65,
weighing a minimum of
100 pounds is eligible to
give blood. Males and
females between 17 and 18
may ', be accepted .with
written consent from

BY SUSAN WHITE
Industrial cancers are
on the increase and
government and industry
need to be pressured to
improve working con-
ditions and health
standards, the head of the
pulmonary disease unit
at St. Joseph's Hospital in
London told the annual
meeting of the Huron
Perth Lung Association
in Stratford last Wed-
nesday.
Dr. Thomas E. Wood
called the increase he
sees, in lung cancer
among non-smokers
"particularly disturbing"
and said it's related to
lacquers, chemicals and
gases in the work place
and to conditions on
farms.
It's almost impossible
to avoid exposure to
cancer causing sub-
stances in many in-
dustries, Dr. Wood said.
"Conditions are
dreadful and regulations
totally inadequate," he
claimed.
He cited a patient of his
who worked for several
years spraying lacquer
on furniture in a 10 x 12
room with no windows or
ventilation system.
"After a few months
she was short of breath
every day," the doctor
noted.
After three years, lung
cancer was diagnosed

386 MAIN ST. SOUTH, EXETER
and the woman did not
live three months.
"We can expect to see
more of this in the near
future," the doctor told
Lung Association
volunteers, and he added
that the canter causing
agents are sometimes
`.'things we never thought
of five years ago."
TIGHTER STANDARDS
Lung Associations
must call for tighter
standards in the work-
place, Dr. Wood said,
citing a plastics factory
with a good ventilation
system, meeting existing
government regulations
that call for no more than
four parts per million of
toxic substances in the
plant's air.
"But medical literature
says damage begins
when you can smell (the
fumes) and anyone
walking into the factory
smells them," he said.
Although the plant is
meeting government
regulations, everyone
working there is exposed
to potentially dangerous
fumes and faces per-
manent lung damage, the
doctor explained. He
predicted that industrial
lung caner will be a
major health problem in
20 years.
Farmers too face
conditions that cause
lung disease, including
larmer',s lung" from
mold on hay which can
lead to permanent lung
scarring with continued
exposure.
Dr. Wood described
another patient who
worked in a large turkey
barn and experienced
shortness of breath and
wheezing after four or
five hours in the barn.
Either improving
working conditions or
persuading the patient to
quit his job is the only
way to prevent work
related lung disease the
doctor said.
"And it's very hard to
get people to stop work,"
he said.
For example the
woman who developed
lung cancer from her
work spraying lacquer
was putting two children
through university and
needed the job, Dr. Wood
explained.
He called cancer
associated with industry
"an even more virulent
kind than that associated
with smoking." The
average survival time
after diagnosis is six
months.
Usually there's no
surgery possible and
cancer drugs and
radiotherapy can't
prolong life much more
than a year after
diagnosis.
Cancer of the lung is on
the most rapid increase
in Dr. Wood's practice,
while the general pattern
of other lung disease is
constant.
The annual meeting
elected William Kinahan
of Lucknow the
association's new
president. He succeeds
May Dodds of Stratford.
Although the Lung
Association's Christmas
Seal Fund raised
$46,045.74 in 1979, up
about one per cent from
