Now I know many men get squeamish about digital examinations, but let's face it guys, most women have PAP tests done every year. It's just one of those things that must be done. Colorectal Cancer: This cancer can be found in the colon, which is the lower five to six feet of the large intestine, intestine, also called the large bowel. The rectum is the last five to six inches inches at the end of the colon, leading to the outside of the body. Symptoms include: include: bleeding from the rectum, persistent persistent indigestion and a change in bowel habits. What to do: Have a medical examination examination with a digital examination.

Lung cancer can be treated. However, However, success of treatment depends on the type of tumor and the stage it is at when detected. To do: Nine out of ten cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking. If you smoke, stop. Medical research has shown that it only takes two or three years for most of the damage done to your lungs by smoking to be repaired by your body. In 10 to 15 years, your lungs will.be healthy and like new. People who work with asbestos, chrome salts, nickel refining, coal tar products and uranium are in high risk jobs, especially if they smoke. These are the most common cancers cancers found in men.

And, if you can afford it, give a donation donation to the Cancer Society. with you some important facts and figures about our economy - information information that until now has generally not been shared with the public. By talking talking to you all, we can all get a better understanding of what lies ahead and the reasoning behind the budget initiatives initiatives we're planning. Nobody likes paying taxes. But we all know some taxes are necessary. Without them we wouldn't have roads, parks, water and sewage facilities. facilities. We wouldn't have police or firefighters, firefighters, or garbage collectors. We wouldn't have medicare, public education education or programs to help the poor families with children. Without taxes, we wouldn't have, any of the public services and programs that make a society society liveable, Taxes in a way buy all of us civilization. Agriculture Minister Elmer Buchanan Buchanan recently announced the Ontario Commodity Loan Guarantee Program to help farmers obtain credit to plant a crop. The plan will mean that farmers will receive immediate benefit from lower interest rates and the government government will be able to reduce its farm interest assistance costs. In 1991, the Ontario government spent more than $80 million in assistance to farmers. On Friday evening, I was in Peterborough Peterborough with the Minister of Universities Universities and Colleges, the Hon. Richard Allen, to hear submissions presented by interested groups and individuals in regard to the introduction of the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board. OTAB's broad objective is to facilitate a dramatic transformation of attitudes and behaviour towards the acquisition and use of employment- related skills. The establishment of OTAB is seen by the government as a logical outcome of the ideas and proposals proposals made by various groups and organizations organizations provisional and nationally, nationally, over the past several years. No one was more pleased than I was over the saving of the jobs at the Orono Tree Nursery. Had they been lost, it would have made me feel quite badly to have let people down who were banking on me to help them. For once, the story had a happy ending. Next week I will report on the new session. Keep cheerful.

Report from pâment by Ross Stevenson, M.P., Look What Daffodils Do The month of April is here and the Canadian Cancer Society's big fundraising fundraising canvass will be under way across the Dominion. You may receive in your mail or read in magazines, requests for donations donations from the Cancer Research Society Society Inc. This Society is based in Quebec Quebec and that's where your donations go, to be used for research. The Cancer Cancer Research Society Inc. is neither part of nor connected to the Canadian Cancer Society. When you make a donation to a Canadian Cancer Society canvasser, out of every dollar, 57c goes to research, research, 18c goes to Patient Services, 15c goes to Public Education (youth and adult), 6c goes to fundraising and 4c goes to administration. This is based on a 10-yr average up to 1990. Patient Services for Bowmanville and District Unit 108 for the month of March cost over $3200.00. Some of the services paid for were, Children's Oncolgy (Boarding out), Transportation Transportation (driving patients for treatment), Ostomy Supplies, Health Care Services Services and Drugs. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding misunderstanding and I hope you will welcome the canvassers and consider where and how your generous donations will be used. Our 1992 slogan is "Look What Daffodils Do." Our mission statement reads as follows: follows: The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization organization of volunteers, whose mission is the eradication of Cancer and the enhancement enhancement of the quality of life of people living with Cancer. Yours truly, Ernest R. Eves 1992 President Unit #108 Starting this month, cheques you receive from the federal government will have a very different appearance. Rather than being printed on the dull buff background with which we've become familiar, federal cheques now will be much more colourful, colourful, with bright splashes of red, green, blue and yellow in the multimaple multimaple leaf motif. Security is the main reason for this change. The new cheques are designed designed to prevent counterfeiting and fraudulent alteration of their face value. value. Recent technological advances, particularly with improved colour photocopying, made it necessary to replace replace the old cheque format, which has been in use for 15 years. As of April 1, the new cheques will be used for all payments by the federal government - including Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement, Canada Pension, Family Allowances, Unemployment Insurance, Insurance, veterans' benefits, or your Income Income Tax refund. However, this will in no way affect the negotiability of old-style cheques that were sent to you before April 1. They'll still be honoured by banks and other financial institutions. Their staffs already have been advised about the new federal cheque format. Of course,.if you have any personal personal concerns about cheques being mailed to you by the federal government, government, there is an excellent, ultra-safe alternative available. You now can have your federal payments deposited directly into your account at any bank or other financial institution within Canada. With direct deposit, you don't have the inconvenience of making a special trip to the bank to cash or deposit your cheques. If you are ill, caught in bad weather, away on vacation, or worried worried about mail delivery, you can rest assured that your money already is securely securely in your account. There's no need to worry about get ting your payments on time, ana mere is no chance of their being lost or sto- len. !;• And there's an added bonus for you as a taxpayer - direct deposit costs the federal government considerably less •! than printing and mailing cheques. As / well, by reducing paper use it helps the environment. \\ It's quite easy to switch your federal federal payments to direct deposit. All you need to do is fill out a simple form, which can be obtained from most banks or from Health and Welfare Canada's office at the Oshawa Shopp- ping Centre. Or you can telephone my Oshawa Constituency Office, and we'll be pleased to send you a form. The numbers numbers are 571-5430, and for toll-free long distance Zenith 9-6130.
