Something can be done, and will be done to fight cancer â€" if you make it your war- During the month of April a war against cancer in being carried on by the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation in raising a minimum of S2,000,000. You may be helping to save yourself, or someone you love, for one out of every six to eight perfsons now living must exipect to die of cancer The Foundation has hlue-printed a three-year plan to fight this dread scourge. It will provide fully-quipped cancer clinics and prevention clinics at strategic points throughout the province, and give partial financial aid to thotee who need it. It will in- stitute research projects that may lead to the end of this second of all arveat "killer" diseases. Through ed- 'T^ntion the Foundation plana 1>o teach every man. woman and child in Ontario to recognize the signs of cancer, and to substitute action for fpar and ienofance. The campaien onened the 1st of April and all banks are receiving- centred for donations. Get in this war and fight- You may save your- self from death.

Here's his story: "The farmers," Iw said, "want higher prices, the woA- ers want higher wages, 'business men want more profits â€" why not giTO them what they want, then all would be satisfied?"

The Small Town Angelo Patri, principal for many years of one of New York City's .schools, says of small towns: The small town offers the best life for children, no dtiubt in my mind aibout that. They have room to live. They have plenty space, plenty of it, o they can have a good run without knocking their knees or elbows against a fence. They have good i air, good plain food, enough social life in general, and they have good schools. People often say. "But think of the opportunitie's the museums and libraries and theatres in the large cities offer." I have thought of them many time when I taught .school in the biggest city of them all, a city rich in such cultural op- portunities, and noted how few of the ctii^'s people, and how very few nf the children, ever entered the doors of stored beauty and wisdom. An occasional visit under the leader- ship of a teacher was about the limit of use made of these institu- tions. Outlside teachers were often ^een alongisde the city teachers, so the use was about even, considering the number of child'ren involved on Hcth sidete- A Shorthorn cow in Eng. has had three consecutive sets of twins. •'How's the public 'sentiment out here?" asked the politician, who was passing through a rural community.
