Mrs. Shirley Reynolds of Hamp- ton w cin l charge of the sum- mer swim. course. ber of startling statistic-, about the current rate of cancer incid- ence for representativ es of the East Central District of the Soci- cty at the annual spring dinner meeting at- Greenwood Tower- Motel. "ýOnie person in every four will- have cancer at some tine in their lives," hie said. Mr. Rowlauds went on to say that research shows that cancer eau bo beaten. De aths from uterine cancer, hoe said, have been reduced- by 50 per cent, Iargely due to the ef- forts of the society through spreading the news of the pap test and its value and through early detection. "Statisties from ovor the world show that 90 per cent of cancers are preventable if we do - ail the things we are supposed to", lie said. "But people do not do the things they are supposed to. They go out lu the sun too much, ýthey drip'I too much and they smoke too much.1 They do ahl the things they shouldn't 'do." "Wh~i. we know cancer'eau ho beaten," lho saiii, "it is not being beaton. Despite our educational efforts only a smali mlnority of people have the pap test or any regulàr medical examination of any kind." Mr. Rowands spoke of the nec- essity of getting information ou cancer to the sehools and to the news media, which hoe said was keen to use it. On the research front, hoe said ho, lad just received news of a research proj oct at Texas Uni- versity. "It ' is not happy news. It is the news that the rate of lung cancer is iucreasing drastically not only among sinokers but among non- smokers as well," hoe added. New studios have revealed that a person or non-smoker who spendsabout 30 minutes' in a smokey onvirlument will have a measured reaction. A t est taken among a group of children, who spent 30 minutes lu a room filied with cigarette smoke, hoe saîd, showed that the carboumonoxide iu their blood increased and thoir heart rate in- creased and they had a numbor of other measured effects. "Iu fact, ail the effeets in a smoking adult were produced lu the children, only on a reduced scale;' lho added. The oxecutivo director saîd this has resulted ini a number of peti- tions being sent f0 transportaion compaules demans(iug that there should ho "no smoking" on planes, buses and trains. "Something is going to have to ho doue about this. Ail aspects of our educational program ou smoking should ho a maximum capacity," lho saîd. -The Port Hope Guide George. H.
