[ . ago to raise money for research .an estimated 20,000 victims in .. New Brunswick '(up 46.16%), "and Quebec (up 42.67%). _ our appeal came from all across Record Year For MDAC In 1963 Toronto--The March for Mus- cular Dystrophy in Canada set another record in 1963. Athur Minden, Q.C., President 'of the Muscular Dystrophy As- sociation of Canada, announced recently that MDAC's income reached an unprecedented $447,- 151.96 last year. This was "a 10.4 percent increase over the '$405,130.76 raised by the na. tional voluntary health agency in 1962, "It is one of the largest an- nual increases we have ever known", Mr. Minden said. "It meahs Canadians are becoming increasingly aware of the need to find a cure for muscular dy- strophy quickly, before it des- troys any more of our children's lives." MDAC was founded ten years on muscular dystrophy, a com- plex of diseases which wastes the voluntary muscles and leads to premature death. There are Canada, most of them children. So far, MDAC has raised more than $8,000,000 in its efforts to discover the cause of MD, and a treatment or cure for it through medical research. The largest increases in MD- AC's income last. year came from Nova Scotia (up 105.06%); British Columbia up 84.98%); "The growth in response to the country","Mr.. Minden said. "Not only did more people everywhere give more money; but more volunteers everywhere worked harder than ever." During MDAC campaign week last: November, thousands of Canadian fire fighters, scores of service clubs and youth or- ganizations, and untold num- leading figures in the world of ~ Scugog Chapter 1.0.D.E. meet- bers of other volunteers knocked on doors; placed canisters, held tag days and sponsored other events to help put the Associa- tion's drive over the top. The fire fighters, who -spearheaded the drive in most communities, have officially associated them- selves with the MD cause. Throughout the year, Gus Ryder, Don Messer, "Boom Boom" Geoffrion- and other sport and entertainment helped to publicize MD work. Public response broke records even though national coverage plan- ned for the campaign in late November was eclipsed by the tragic death of President Ken- nedy, who was himself con- nected with MD work in the United States. Some 80 percent of the funds raised by MDAC last year will find their way into university laboratories and medical centres throughout Canada, to speed the progress of research into the| mysteries of MD. "We must not let last year's success. make us complacent", Mr. Minden warned, "The funds available. for MD research are still not growing as rapidly as the demand for them. And the demand will grow even more rapidly as science draws closer to a cure." Busy Schedule ; For LO.DE | ing, conducted by Mrs. George Rennie, made plans for the Spring activities.
