Re- search teams like the scientists | shown above, are helped in their work by the use of funds made available through the Canadian Cancer Society's annual cam- paign for funds. HELP FOR CANCER SUF - ferers is one of the main activi- ties of the Canadian Cancer So- ciety, which provides free can-. cer dressings to victims of this disease. Above is one of the depots which is made possible by contributions to the Cancer Society campaign. Cancer Education As Means Of Fighting Dread Disease Studies tell that women are more business people in factories and alert about health matters than men. Wives, in a way, are guard- ians of the family's health and they look after Dad along with the children. They can do this by urg- ing their husbands to have regular check-up the physician Recent statistics show a mar- gin of deaths from cancer in men over women over the age of 50, particularly in cancer of the lung and of the intestinal system. To conteract this incidence the Canadian Cancer Society plans an even greater program of educa- tion this coming year to reach the offices. A precise and workable method for controlling cancer is through the showing of films, with a speak- er to discuss the film and answer uestions asked by the audience. irteen films illustrating the im- portance the means of cancer protection are in constant circula- tion. Among these are special films for men such as * Alive", and for women, Self - Examination".

(CP)--A Privy Council decision on highway trans- rt has plunged Canada's truck- industry into chaos, the indus- try's chief kesman said today. G. M. Parke of Toronto, presi- dent of Canadian Trucking Assoc- iations, sald his organization has drafted model legislation with a few to filling a *'void" in inter- national and interprovineial high- hid jurisdiction by the decis- on. Ms. Parke in an address to the an- Maritime rt Association. This is a branch of the CTA, main voice of Camada's 20,000 truckers. Mr. Parke sald the CTA's model le; tion is to be submitted to vineial' governments ih 'the hope k will be presented to a federal- provincial conference om highway transport to be held at Ottawa stating April 26. The conference was called by Transport Minister Chevrier after the Privy Council in February up- held a federal contention that the central government has contol over the interprovincial and inter- national operations of commercial hway operators. G! '0 PROVINCES The federal government promptly said it would be "reluc- tant" to use this power and would like to give it to the provinces if a common understanding could be reached. "The object of the conferencel" Mer. Parke said today, "is certainly not to perpetuate the chaos into which the Privy Council's decision has plunged our industry . . , it is not too much to say that the in- dustry literally does not know whether it is coming or going at the present time." Mr. Parke urged agreement on two principles of control embodied in the model act: 1. That licences be granted by a regulatory board after public hearings, only on the basis of pub- lic convenience and necessity. 2. That the regulatory board re- quire trucking companies to open all its rates for public inspection. N.Y. Auto Insurance Bill Defeated By Pressure By ARTHUR MERIMS NEW YORK (AP)--The most controversial automobile insurance bill in decades was defeated by the New York State legislature last month after a bitter political wrangle. It would have forced driv- ers to buy liability insurance or prove the financial ability to meet an accident claim of up to $20,000 Political leaders, led by Gover- nor Thomas Dewey and the su- perintendent of insurance, Alfred J. Bohlinger, pressed vigorously for the measure. The insurance in- dustry, especially the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, fought the bill. Seven states--California, Wiscon- sin, Oklahoma, Mayland, Minne- sota, Kentucky and Texas--have Om one thing insurance execu- tives Bnd most politicians agree-- agitation for compulsory automo- bile insurance is not dead, in New York or any of the states. As one reason, they point to 38,300 killed and 1,350,000 injured on U.S. high- ways last year and property dam- age approaching $4,000,000,000 BLAME MASSACHUSETTS LAW Casual - observers wondered why the insurance industry opposed a bill that apparently would mean more business for them. But it had varied reasons, most of them based on the operation of a com- pulsory auto insurance law in- Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, all auto liabil- ity policies expire on the same date. And this date comes close to election time. So that, more often than not, insurance rates become a political issue. Frank J. Harrington, executive vice-president, National Associa- tion of Casualty and Surety Agents, was for 13 years commissioner of insurance for Massachusetts. "During the time I fixed compul- sory rates in Massachusetts I was subject to the most intense political pressures, as were my predeces- and my successors have been," he said. FEARED COMMISSION CUTS Insurance brokers also opposed the bill because they feared it would lead to the cutting of their selling commissions (currently 17% to 25 per cent) to 10 r cent, which prevails generally Massa- chusetts. Speaking in favor of the New York bill, Governor Dewey said: 'Insurance will not prevent auto- mobile accidents but the broken homes, the impoverished, the wi- dows and the orphaned children can at least have a chance in life if insurance is carried. This bill will some day become law because it is right, it is sound, and the people want it." The New York bill would have required owners of all autos to prove their ability to pay personal damage claims of up to $20,000 and property damage claims of up to $5,000 before they obtain licence plates. The bill would also have barred insurance companies from cancel- ling a liability policy except on 30 days' notice to the motor vehicle bureau as well as to the insured. J. Dewey Dorsett, general man- ager, A iation of C Ity and Surety Companies, said such laws do not protect victims from hit- and-run drivers, out-of-state cars, stolen cars and other law violators, SIMCOE HALL PIANO LESSONS -- 4 to 6 p.m. PIANO PRACTICE -- 4 to 5.307 p.m. GIRLS' BASKETBALL -- 5.30 to 6.45 p.m. - NURSING CADETS -- 7 to 9 p.m. Girls 11 to 20 years of age.

BLAKESLEE A lated Press Sci Writer CLEVELAND ' (AP) -- Suppose you're one of the many people who become dangerously allergic to penicillin or some other drug. And suppse you're hurt and knocked unconscious. Could a doc- tor unwittingly give you the drug which is bad for you? A little tattoo--put in a place which even a bikini bathing suit wouldn't reveal--could be your vital protection, a physician sug- gested today. The tattoos, perhaps the size of a penny, could be squares or tri- angles or other symbols or letters of the alphabet presenting some specific drug or condition. The meanng of each symbol .would be known, by prior agreement, to all doctors. Identification ecards in your wal- let or pocketbook or dog tags around your neck could do the same thing. But you might lose the cards or forget to wear the tags on the day of some disaster or accident. COULD BE FATAL The tattoo system could be a more scientific way of carrying your medical warning against a drug or treatment which could give a bad reaction or might even cause death, said Dr. Hugh H. Hussey of Washington, medical editor of GP, magazine of the American Academy of General Practice. Dr. Hussey, attending the aca- demy's annual meeting, said some people are sensitive to penicillin or other drugs, or to horse serum used in tetanus antitoxin given as protection against blood poisoning. Some get severe reactions and sometimes the reactions are fatal. ENNISKILLEN Tells Of Trip To Florida MRS.

Mr. Heintzman states that the amount required from On- tario this year is again $500,000 and is needed to provide re- search equipment and to carry on the important program of education and welfare. Cancer Not Hereditary One often hears the question is cancer hereditary? The answer told in a Canadian Cancer Society News letter says that the tendency to develop cancer and the tenden- pd not to develop cancer are phenomena, preculiar to nature. It explains that in scientific re- search on mice, mating brother and sister for 30 to 50 generations, it has been possible to breed pure strains which practically never de- velop the disease, and to inbreed other strains which almost all spontaneously develop cancer in a certain place, such as the breast, Marriage among humans being haphazard, cbmparatively speak - ing, the genetic constitution is about as mixed up as it can be, but were a family bred like the mice for generations stretching back to Abraham, it would be pos- sible to liken that family to the susceptible or resistant cancer strains of mice. Because cancer is a relatively common disease, is it responsible for one death in every seven or eight. On the basis of chance alone it is not surprising to find families in which several have died of sacar, A n a family ten ple the calculated probability dat none will develop cancer is about one in three; that two will develop it is about one i. four; that three will, is about one in eight; four is about one in thirty: five is about one in 140, and so on. The chance that all 10 will develop cancer is about one in 280,000,000. This is but one of the 100 re- search projects going on in Cana- dian laboratories to probe the can- cer problem, and aided by the Cancer fund campaign. The growth from year to year in dol- lars available for research must gon on. To do our share against thise challenging problem we must raise $500,000 in Ontario this year. Fight cancer. Give now! J.

IVES, president of the Oshawa Shrine Club, which is again this year sponsoring the an- nual Cancer Fund Campaign in Oshawa and Ontario County. How many of cancer's danger signals can you name? One, two or four? To alert the public about cancer more than 550,000 pam- phlets on its danger signals were province by the Ontario Division of the Canadian Cancer Society last year. To prove the importance of this educational program, clini- cal statistics show that more and more patients are being treated in the very early stages of the dis- ease because of their awareness and own recignition of the warn- ing signs. The key to curability lies in early detection. Responsi- bility for early detection of what might be cancer rests to great printed and distributed through the | Early Diagnosis Is Seen As Key To Cancer Control measure with one's own recogni- tion of the signals and an immedi- ate visit to a doctor. For those wh do not remember cancer's four danger signals, here they are: 1. A lump in the breast. 1. Unusuua bleeding from any body opening. . 3. Any sore of the skin or mouth that does not heal. 4.
