When an ex-army officers' association decided to hold a ball recently, a few committee men thought the word "formal" on the tickets might discourage some husbands. But they got around this by sending the tickets anywav and following them later with a note to all the wives. It read: "Last week your husband was sent tickets for the Army Otticers' Sail, has he told you about it yet?" The turnout was êa record.

The meeting opened by singing O Canada, The Ode and repeating the Collect. It was decided to accept an invitation to Honeydale Insti- tute on May 6th, and our own meeting for May will be moved forward to April 29th. One bill was received and ordered paid. Mrs. Tomlinson offered to attend the conven- tion in Waterloo. Roll call was well answered by naming a Canadian product and where it is made. Dues were paid at this time. Mrs. Blair gave a report of the Director's meet- ing held at Mrs. Ashtons and brought us up to date on plans for the District Annual to be held here in May. In the absence of Mrs. S. Buttery, Miss Leach gave the motto, "Energy and work will often accomplish more than gen- ius." She said to have a nice garden we must uproot old plants and dig out weeds and we must do likewise with our lives. Get rid of evil thoughts, selfish ideas and jealousy and make our lives grow more useful and objective. Believe in what a man goes after. Don't knock him but help and encourage him to succeed. She closed with a beautiful poem "Just folks like you and me". Mrs. Downey introduced Mrs. Fraser who spoke to us and gave us a little insight into conditions in our own Canada. She said she wakened this morning to a beautiful sunny spring morning and thought what a beautiful world, but suddenly she heard the news on the radio of deaths, disasters and diseases and all of a sudden she was in a different frame of mind. She and Mrs. E. R. Taylor. Mr. and Mrs, Milton Stainton, Miss Elva Orchard, were Sun. tea guests of Mr. and Mrs. Elwyn Dickey and Miss Velma Dickey, Bowman- ville. We were sorry to learn of the sudden death of the Late Arthur Carrington, Oshawa, who as a youth was a farm helper at the Gordon Werry farm. Recently at S.S. a special guest Mrs. R. Stenger gave a very interesting account of the Challenging work of Dr. Lotta Hitchmanova who through her personal concern for the under privileged children through out the world the unitarian service committee of Canada was founded. As everyone probably knows by now, April is Cancer Month. Over the next four weeks, 500 volunteer canvassers will be blitzing the Bowmanville, Darlington and Clarke areas for funds to help fight the disease which kills one out of every six Canadians. The goal this year is $13,000 though campaign chairman Tony Brand hopes that even more can be raised. The mortality rate for cancer victims is still high, but the slogan "Cancer Can Be Beaten" is not just an empty phrase. 67,000 new cases of cancer are expected to be discovered in i976, and over half of these people will be alive and well in five years time with proper treatment. The ultimate goal of cancer research is the complete control of the disease, and to this end, more time and financial resources have been spent in trying to defeat cancer than on any other single medical problem. According to Cancer Society literature, "in spite of im- provements in treatment by surgery, radiation and the comparatively recent de- velopments of chemotherapy, the search must go on for even more efficient techniques and drugs..." While the discovery of a cure for cancer would likely be the most significant break- through in modern medical science, researchers are also doggedly working towards the prevention of the disease. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...as the old saying goes. At last Thursday's meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club, the guest speaker was Dr. Robert Bruce from Toron- to who bas worked for the past sixteen years in the field of cancer prevention. Detection of the causes of cancer is never simple, though a comparison of raqtes from various parts of the world can lead to new avenues of research. For example, can- cer of the colon and rectum is high in Canada while its occurrence is less frequent in Japan and African nations. By examining the differences between environmental and dietary differences, cancer researchers hope to zero in on the causes of intestinal can- cers. Dr. Bruce pointed out that there seems to be a high correlation between the amount of meat consumption and the incidence of cancer. Perhaps to quell the fears of those who aren't vegetarians, he also added that it's not necessarily meat that is causing the tumors--it could be horseradish. Over the years several methods of detecting cancer producing agents have been used. Until recently, research- ers used a great number of animals for testing question- able chemicals. As Dr. Bruce stated, however, the cost is prohibitive. To test each separate chemical on animals I nstitute continued to show us what a wonderful country we live in by quoting figures and com- paring with other countries. It has been figured out we have 90 acres of land for every man, woman and child in Canada. Our exports are far beyond our imports. Six million homes have television and thirteen and one half billion dollars are spent on tobacco and drink, so what is wrong with our country and again Mrs. Fraser closed with a poem which summed up some of our problems and where to look for help in "Slow me down Lord". Mrs. Downey asked Mrs. Flintoff to read the report of last years Annual Meeting and to give the Treasurer's report. Miss Leach reported for Mrs. S. Buttery on Agriculture and Canadian Industries, Mrs. Blair for Citizenship and World Affairs. Education and cultural Activities were given by Mrs. Twist. Mrs. Wiseman reported as curator of Tweeds- muir History. Mrs. Wood gave the Auditors report and Mrs. Cryderman for public rela- tions. Mrs. Downey summar- ized the years work and said she would like to give every member a chance to see the District Tweedsmuir book, so she asked one group to go on Monday afternoon and another to go Tuesday after- noon. Mrs. Fraser installed the Officers for 1976-77. After asking for a secretary to be elected for the installation. Mrs. Twist read the nomina- ting committees report and the officers are: Past Presi- dent - Mrs. C. Downey, President - Mrs. M. Wiseman, 1st Vice Pres. - Mrs. E. Twist, Assistant Secretary - Mrs. L. Tomlinson, District Director - Mrs. C. Downey, Alternate - Miss P. Leach, Directors - Mrs. Black, Mrs. Stapleton and Mrs. Flintoff, Public Relations Officer - Mrs. L. Tomlinson, Curator of Tweedsmuir History - Mrs. M. Wiseman, Cards - Mrs. R. Patfield, Pianists - Mrs. O. Bragg and Mrs. Amacher, Auditors - Mrs. A. Wood, Miss W. Cryderman. Mrs. Downey thanked everyone for their co-opera- tion in the last 3 years and wished the same for Mrs Wiseman. Mrs. Wiseman in turn said she thought Mrs. Downey and Mrs. Flintoff had done exceptionally well and asked for an applause for them. Mrs. Wiseman said she would like to have an execu- tive meeting at her home April 12th. Mrs. Wiseman and Mrs. J. Buttery are planning to go to the F.W I.C. Convention in Prince Edward Island requires up to $300,000, "and with the number of chemicals requiring study, the use of animals is out of the ques- tion." In Dr. Bruce's own work, the use of animal sperm had been widespread. By using sperm rather that the whole animal, the cost of testing is greatly reduced, and the results have been useful, Dr. Bruce explained that agents which give rise to cancer also produce sperm abnormalities. A recent discovery by Dr. Bruce Ames in California has further simplified research. Circular petrie dishes which contain various bacteria are used in this method, and then bits and pieces of animal liver (which metabolizes the bac- teria) are added. With this method, the scientist can test each chemical for merely a few dollars. Mutations show up on the plate as small dots, and can be counted quite simply. Bowmanville Harold Michelson Ted Miller For example, the smoke from one cigarette will cause 30,000 mutations on the plate. A wide range of other sub-, stances have also been tested-- including hair dyes, water and plastics. While people are beginning to wonder if anything we eat, drink or use is safe ànymore. Dr. Bruce estimates that only about one to two percent of all chemicals are carcinogenic, or cancer causing. The task of cancer research is to isolate these chemicals and determine how much, if any, of each one can be tolerated before there is a threat to health. Dr. Bruce stated that there is something in our diet or environment that is being taken for granted which gives rise to these tumors. It is his gamble (and that of his researchteam) that the ques- ntroductory Off er The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 7, 1976 .3 tionable substance is not step is determining which directly in our food*-it is a ones cause cancer. by-product of our gastrointes- When the answers are tinal tracts. found, however, the battle Part of Dr. Bruce's work isn't over.
