LEUKEMIA PICTURE IMPROVING The most common form of can- t cer in children is acute lympho- cytic leukemia. As recently as 1964 the aiPerage child with this disease lived only 112 years; to- day the average lives more than three years and there is an in- creasing number of reports of long-term survivals due to the use of drugs. The Canadian Can- cer Society is sponsoring re- search on this and other forms of cancer to save more lives. You can be part of this humanitarian effort by contributing to the So- ciety's campaign for funds. years of age, Brig. MacCorquon- dale said .that non-medical .use of drugs poses a problem and the home is now a treatment centre for the, mentally disturbed, rather than just a correctional in- stitute as first planned: There are 114 boys there with a staff of 60 and Concord offers the introduction to many skills to prepare the boys for gainful em- ployment. The speaker described the operation of their own service station, floral design, and flower shop, and he said training as car- penters, painters and other trades are routine. The operation also includes a school ebmplete with gymnasium and swimming pool and, like any high school today, the drug prob- lem exists. Marijuana is not a problem with the younger element, asit has been established that this is generally used by those over 30 years of age" Methedrine and other drugs generally referred to as Speed, especially as recently traces of heroin have been found in some, are the dangerous ones. The speaker said the amount used determines the kind ' of "trip" the user takes, describing how hallucinations in some cases have resulted in injury to them- selves. One boy tried to: jump on a train going through his room and fell, through a window on the sec- ' and storey to the ground. A brand of drain cleaner is now used by some in which to mix the drug and the caustic effect is creating severe pain in the stomach which generally- in- creases as the "trip- period ends and some boys at Concord have required hospital treatment. $rig. MacCorquondale stress- ed the danger of taking LSD. This drug(,jeaves the systein within 20 minutes but the hallucinatory periods last up to 10 hours and during this time anything can, happen. Some users have de- scribed their experiences as be- ing deeply religious; some relate to death, birth and re -incarnation and a few are violent and a' dan- ger to others'. The speaker em- phasized that no one can predict a "trip". Communication is the import- ant thing, he said. "If you let present youthful styles create a barrihr, you break down com- munications and this leads to trouble. The generation gap ex- rsts between youth and the next age bracket and we find at Con- cord that boys generally have a rapport with older people." The speaker described how two men, 80 and 73 years of age, both in- structors, have excellent rela- tions with the boys. Brig. MacCorquondale also de- scribed the operation the farm at Concord. He said ithe budget for the entire centre is $600,000, with,' a grant from the Depart- ment of Family and Children's Services helping. ,He stressed that funds from the Red Shield Campaign are the' major support. He. said a second House of Con- cord at Vancouver has made a successful start and a third at Ilderton; near London, will open this May. The- speaker paid tribute to service clubs for. their interest in boys and their support of the Red Shield Campaign, - O Capt. Jack Fearnall introduced Brig. MacCorquendale, who was a .protestant chaplain at Btu -wash before going to the House of Con- cord 14 years ago. Capt. Fearnall also introduced DeWitt . Miller, Tarn' Shier, Russell MacKersie, Cecil. McFadden, Charles Flett, Bill Henderson, Charles Webster and others identified with the lied Shield Campaign in this area. Appreciation to the speaker was expressed by Lion Bob Arm- strong and the Wingham Lions Club made a donation to the cam- paign of $100. Lion Lee Vance spoke briefly about the new treatment centre at London for crippled children and plans were also made in re- gard to attendance at a Lions rally at Seaforth D LE I?
