The activities, he said, are centred on the hopeful aspects of cancer. : "Cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence," Mr. McRitchie said. "Far from it. When diagnosed and treat- ed in its early stages cancer is one of the most curable of the major diseases." He went on to say that the Cancer Society stresses the value of prevention by means of seven safeguards. The safeguards are as follows: for everybody -- have a regular medical check-up; don't smoke cigarettes; have your dentist check for abnormal conditions; arrange with your doctor for a bowel examination; avoid excessive exposure to sunlight. For women -- practice regular breast self-examination; have Continued on page 20 3 Car Collision At Manchester A car driven by Raymond Rankin, Port Perry, received an" estimated $2,000. damage when it was involved in a three car collision at Man- chester on Friday, March 27.

Board Of Education Predicts Teacher Surplus Howard Hempstead, a zone superintendent with the Ontario County Board of Education said Monday resig- nations for elementary school teachers have been coming in at a much slower rate than in previous years and as a result, fewer teachers than expected will be hired. Mr. Hempstead attributed the slow down to the new county board system and to the surplus of elementary school teachers. '"'Because we now have a county-wide board there are fewer resignations because people are moving around within the county," he said. "And with more teachers available this year teachers want to have another . job signed and sealed before they resign," he said. "There appears to be less shopping around this year," he said. He said the board has been receiving applications from experienced teachers for the past three weeks and about 25 have been hired. The total need is not known because all resignations have not been received. He said hiring of new colleges will begin May 1 but because of the decline in the number of resignations and the quality of experienced applicants there may not be many positions left for them. "We believe in having a balance between freshness and experience in oursystem,"' he said. "But because we are not allowed to hire new graduates until two months after we can hire experienced teachers it is not likely there will be many openings left." Heart Campaign Very Successful The chairman of the Port Perry Heart Fund, Norman Aldred, reports this year's campaign very successful, considering the existing con- ditions of unemployment and uncertainty this year. With the returns of this year's campaign almost com- plete the final figures are expected to at least equal last year's total of $1,222.10. Mr. Aldred said that he felt that this year's campaign was acutally better than last year because of the conditions present this year and thought the 50 canvassers should be from teachers' commended for their efforts. - RAE Ca A er En A a wd re AA SET CAA Cal oy Pr 23 RATA NE Dy -- TS XE
