Opposition Leader Drew suggested that when the personnel is chosen advantage be taken of the fact that one of the world's greatest cancer specialists is now in Toronto, one of many who had come to Canada to 'escape Nazi oppression. Canada takes second place to none in medical achievement, said Col. Drew, but felt use should be made of the additional skill now available. Good might : thus come out of the evil of war. Col. Drew did not name the cancer expert now here. Hon. H. J. Kirby, Minister of Health, sponsoring the bill, said he was recommending the suggestion and explained that the bill provided | for an advisory medical board repre-- 'senting branches of the medical pro-- fession. The foundation would be a corporation of seven to ten members appointed by the Lieutenant--Gov-- f ernor--in--Council.
