f t Hie Canadian Statesman, Bowman ville, April 22, 1961 Section Two Cancer Society and Memorial Hospital Hosts Cancer Speakers /: > Cancer Information Session welcomes guest Vera King, M.C. and Nursing Administration speakers at Lions Community Centre in Supervisor, Miss Sam Smart, Ontario Division, Bowmahville last Thursday. From left to right: Canadian Cancer Society, and Mrs. Lynda Gibson, Mrs. Beth Morton, Education Coordinator for Bowmanville Cancer Society, Education Memorial Hospital, Reverend Alan Tipping, Mrs. Chairwoman. Cancer F ought with Care "We need all the illness we get," says Reverend Alan Tipping, a guest speaker at the Cancer Information Session held at the Lions Centre April 9 in Bowmanville Bowmanville It's not that we "want" sickness, sickness, however, Father Tipping and thirteen years of hospital ministry argues, but that "illnesses "illnesses are related to the total experience of our lives." Father Tipping, a Roman Catholic priest since 1957 and a lecturer for the Ministry of the Elderly in his church, was asked by tne Bowmanville and District Cancer Society and Memorial Hospital to come and speak at this jointly spon- sorea forum on cancer. The objective of the session, which also included other speakers, displays, and a film, as stated by M.C. Mrs. Vera King, was "to better under- tana the facts about cancer" in order "to cope more effectively" effectively" with a disease that fatally strikes one in' five Canadians. The figures are frighteningly frighteningly impressive, but they require personal expression to fully comprehend cancer's impact in human terms. Sadie James and May Lucas, two members of the Oshawa Ostomy Club, provided provided the session with that perspective. perspective. Both women have had colostomies as a result of cancer. They told of how their long-time friends avoided them, at first - simply afraid to meet them, face to face. Now, life is back to normal, their sense of humor still with them. "I don't have any more problems with hemorrhoids," Sadie James joked. Father Tipping, too, has personally fell the effects of cancer. His father and brother, both, died from the disease. From his years spent in hospitals, Father Tipping has come to conclude that we ought to take responsibility for ourselves. We, North Americans, have "a bad habit of letting people do things for us," he said. "Doctor make me better, and the doctor buys it." Also, Father Tipping continued, human beings cannot cannot be compartmentalized into body and soul, with the Old Age Pensioners Fail to Reapply for Income Supplement There are some 23,000 Old Age Security pensioners in Ontario who may find their monthly cheque considerably smaller in April despite an increase in the basic OAS pension. W. A. Wright, Assistant Director General of Health and Welfare Canada's Income Security Programs says that J. Douglas Mann, B.A., LL.B, Barrister and Solicitor is pleased to announce that Mary F. Ormerod, B.A., LL.B. is now associated witn him in the practice of law at Brooks, Harrison, Jones & Mann 29 King St. West (old CISC Building) Box 277, Newcastle, Ont. Telephone 987-4714 is how many recipients of the pension have failed to reapply for the Guaranteed Income Supplement. "We issued reapplications forms to all recipients of the supplement", Mr. Wright said. "Of the 382,814 issued, just over 360,000 have reapplied". According to Mr. Wright, because reapplication deadline deadline of March 31 is now past, it is unlikely that it will be possible possible to process those reapplications reapplications arriving now in time for the April payment period. Consequently, all recipients of the GlS who have not reapplied, reapplied, will get only their basic OAS payment which will be $208.20, Mr. Wright said. All applications received now will be "put into pay" as quickly as possible so that pensioners will suffer a minimum minimum of inconvience in interruption interruption of payments, according according to Mr. Wright. Approved benefits will be paid retroactively retroactively where necessary. Persons requiring assistance with filling out the forms should get in touch with their nearest Income Security offices. hospital taking care of one and the church the other. "I've never seen a soul in my life," he said. We are, he argued, three interdependent components of a single entity: body, psyche, and spirit. When one is sick, then it affects the whole person. person. In this holistic approach to medicine, "our emotional life - - has a very real effect on our health," Father Tipping said. "I know a pastor," Father Tipping recalled, "who got sick just before Christmas and just before Easter. He needed to be sick to deal with those difficult periods of time." Disease, then, is telling us something is wrong not only with our bodies but with our lives. "Our bodies," Father Tipping said, "have ways of giving us messages." "Cancer: it's like the red light." Father Tipping explained to his mostly hospital staff audience that some research has shown that after a close friend or relative dies or a person loses their job, cancer has a tendency to strike. "Cancer is an object," Father Tipping said, "sometimes "sometimes it replaces the love object object that we had - a wife, job, etc." "If we cope with our losses more effectively," he advised, "then we won't need illnesses." illnesses." Father Tipping's solution is a human one. "You need relationships," relationships," he said, "you need people. In treating cancer patients "caring is the most important element." Father Tipping said. Allow the patients to express their feelings. Don't tell them, "You shouldn't feel that way, ' ' he advised. "If we get enough money, we can lick this thing," is an attitude that "is not where it's at," Father Tipping warned. We should become more "people oriented." Too many hospitals, Father Tipping has found, are like factories. We should "treat the whole person, " not just the body. Ana this is where, he said, the church and the hospital can work together. .

Waverley Students Learn About Physical Disabilities Students at Waverley Public School were given an opportunity last Monday to find out what it's like to be disabled. Three members of Durham Region's "Disability Awareness Project 1981" visited the school and talked with students about physical handicaps. Each of the three speakers has a permanent disability and fielded numerous questions on the subject. The objective of the project, which is sponsored co-operatively by the Ontario March of Dimes and the Ministry of Employment, is to instill a positive attitude toward the disabled. Throughout the year, various members of the group will be speaking at about 115 schools in the region and to various other community groups. Speakers shown from left are: Adrienne Stronach, Vera Siblock and Robert House, all of Oshawa. LET'S GET GROWING By Harry Van Belle You asked for It!!! When can we prune our flowering shrubs? Some can be pruned at this time of the year, with the exception of the spring flowering shrubs such as the forsythias, weigelias, lilacs and most spireas. They set their buds after last year's growth, so if you would prune them they would not bloom this year since you are cutting off the blooms. Late blooming shrubs such as the hydrangea and the foliage shrubs such as the golden mock orange can be pruned back to shapç anytime anytime now before the leaves appear. How far can we prune back a privet hedge that has grown to 8 feet tall? Privet can be cut back as low as 18 inches, to give you a start again to build a nice dense hedge. If the stems are extra large, cover the wounds with a healing compound to keep the insects out and to prevent them from drying out. Now would also be a good time to add some plant food such as the tree and hedge food, to give it that boost to restart the plants. When can I uncover my roses? It is best to leave them for a few more weeks since the chance of heavy frost is still there, and this would kill the dormant buds that would be out in the open. Generally it is best to wait until the soil temperature is about 55 degrees and the roses show signs of budding. At this time spray the soil around the roses and the roses themselves with a fungicide to kill any overwintering overwintering fungus such as blackspot. This would also be a good time to apply some rose food or bonemeal to set thèm up for the summer. Apply at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 square feet. Roses should be pruned back at this time. First remove all the old dead wood and weak growth, then prune back the bushes to 6 inches from the ground and be sure that the top bud is on the outside, this will keep the centre open and will prevent overcrowding. This pruning applies to all roses, with the exception of the climbers. They should have their old and dead branches removed, and some of the long shoots can be .shortened in, but keep in mind that the climbers set their buds the previous year, so most of the branches should be left. Most of the new varieties of climbers will produce a second crop of blooms later in the year. When and where should glads be planted? The soil should be warm to the touch so this will probably be sometime sometime at the end of April. They should be planted in full sunshine, sunshine, and prefer a loose soil,' and if you have been planting glads in previous years it is best to move them from the area where you planted them last year. To prepare the bed, dig down to at least 8 to 10 inches, to make it easy for the fast growing roots to penetrate the soil. The easiest way is to dig a trench and spread about a pound of plant food for every 25 feet, then cover the soil with a layer of soil. This will mean better blooms and better bulbs for the next season. Glads love air in the soil, so keep them well cultivated and keep the soil loose. During the hot summer weather water thoroughly thoroughly during extreme dry spells. Until next week, happy gardening. Add coarse bran in making chocolate brownies instead of chopped nuts. Delicious.
