If only her husband were with her now. He would know the answers. He would arrange matters, leaving her with one problem only--that of facing the radia- tion treatments she must take after surgery at the local hos- pital. Treatments--in Toronto when she had no car, no hus- band, and a small child? No, she sobbed, better just let things take their course, stay here with Robin, write to her mother in Scotland to come for Robin later. She didn't believe treatments would cure cancer, anyway, and if they that Bruce was gone? She would wire her mother in the morning. She lay down on a couch in the boy's room and fell ~ One Road into a troubled sleep. But in the morning a woman stood at her door ,trim, compe- tent looking, "I'm from the Canadian Cancer Society," she was saying, "We understand you must take treatments at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto ,and we want to be of assistance." They talked. She wept again, in desolation. The volunteer, a cancer patient herself, declared: "I've five children--and I'm not only able to look after them and my home, but to do volunteer work as well. You mustn't give in like this. We're here to see that you don't. Send for your mother, if you like, to care for your son while you take the treatments. But that is all you will need to do. We will do the rest," The young patient was driven from her Northern Ontario home to the Princess Margaret WES LANE PLUMBING - HEATING ELECTRIC - Port Perry, Ont. { - Office 9852473 Res. har nr: wi ERS ER AN - Apply now for your Social Insurance © Number The new numbers will help government to use modern - office methods for greater efficiency in handling un- + employmentinsurance, and also other social benefits such as proposed pension plans.

Upon the advice of the local Cancer Society volunteer, she made arrangements to stay at the Princess Margaret Lodge during this time. The cost was nominal, and she found herself among other women, and men, with precisely the same prob- lems who--most of them--had conquered their fears, and had been able to solve the day-to- day mechanics of living. Returning home at last, she prepared to enjoy a visit with her mother before the older wo- man returned to Scotland. "I need a rest," her mother said, smiling, "take over, will you?" She did: Robin, the house- work, shopping, cooking; and now that spring was in the air, she began thumbing seed cata- logues. It's extraodinary," she confided to her mother, "how help from others, direct, prac- tical help when it is most need- ed, and advice without emotion- al content, can help to bring a person back to life--and a de- sire for living it well again." The older woman nodded. "I've never seen anything like the work the Cancer Society does in Ontario," she said. "For- tunately you have Bruce's In- surance to help you, and Dad and me to stand by, But I've been told that no patient in On- tario need go without such treatments as you've been get- ting, for lack of funds. Free pain-relieving drugs are given, on prescription of a doctor, also, there are home visits, nur- sing services, free dressings and tranportation and many other free services rendered by the Society's Women's Service Committees across the province. It's too bad more people don't know about these things. Real- ly, where would you--and I-- those volunteers?" The young mother did not answer. Only she would ever know, she. decided, just how near she had come to the end of a road that was, at that crucial time, the only one she could discern. ' Celebrates 40th.
