Mrs. Emily Elston, chairman
of the Wingham branch of the
Huron Unit of the Canadian
Cancer Society has received a
certificate of service in recog-
nition of her untiring efforts on
behalf of the Society in this
area.
"I just do the best 1 can, "
Mrs. Elston told the annual
meeting of the Huron Unit as
well as the Southwestern Ontaric
District in Holmesville at the
White Carnation last Wednes-
day evening.
Special speaker at the event
was Mrs. Egmont L. Frankel,
C, C., Toronto who is one of
the spearheads behind the vol-
unteer movement within the
Canadian Cancer Society.
Mrs. Frankel's work centres
around Princess Margaret Hospit-
al but she is well-known among
cancer volunteers in Ontario
and throughout the world.
"The word cancer is not a
dreaded word anymore, " said
Mrs. Frankel who told her aud-
ience that Canadians are well
respected in the field of cancer
research and treatment.
She said there was a time
that professionals within the
field of medicine feared volun-
teers. However, today's vol-
unteers are "professional volunt-
eers, " she said. She stressed the
need for each volunteer to be
placed in his or her "proper
echelon" where talents will be
best utilized.
The view of the volunteer
has changed over the years, said
Mrs. Frankel, She says that in
1
working with cancer patients
as well as with many other dis—
eases, it is a matter of morals.
"One can heal with the mind
as well as the body, " said Mrs.
Frankel. "You fight with your
mind as much as you do with the
surgeon's scapel. "
Joe Wooden, of Exeter, who
with his wife Val wrote a history
of Exeter, presented Mrs. Frank-
el with a copy of his book. She
was introduced by Mrs. D.S.
MacNaughton, Wingham.
In the brief annual meeting
of the Huron Unit and the South-
western District, the officers
for the new year were approved.
Entertainment during the even-
ing was provided by Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold Zonneveld, Ben -
miller.
