0) RES Lo A A 3} RE LRAT \, Everyone Sh By DR. M. B. DYMOND Ontario Minister of Health "SLOGANS are very useful things... they seem to be a part of our modern way of life. They are valuable in that they are usually intended to convey a message . . . tell: a story about something important, sometimes involved, but to tell it in a very few words that will long be remembered. EIR 5 Fr a adnate aT md Take the SLOGAN of the Canadian Can- cer Society . . CONQUER CANCER WITH A CHECK-UP AND A CHEQUE . . this really tells the story of what the Cancer Society does, aims to do and how it does it. Of course Cancer can't actually be con- quered in this way . .. but these are the essential and indispensable ingredients without which Cancer can't even be tack- led. . RIL The CHECK-UP, refers to YOU the in- dividual and is the part each one can and must play. All the EDUCATIONAL effort of the Cancer Society is aimed at alerting ~ you to watch out in yourself for easily noticed signs that MIGHT indicate Cancer or are important enough to merit attent- ion. The SEVEN signs now are as well "known to all who read papers or magaz- ines, who watch T.V. or listen to radio as is the society's slogan. Out of the educat- ional programme has come so much good that it is almost beyond estimate. Yearly more and more people are seeking advice from their doctors concerning something in themselves which they have noted be- cause the Cancer Society has been telling folk to watch for these things. And liter- ally THOUSANDS of people are: being treated successfully because they have sought advice early. Of course all who think they might have cancer DO NOT have it . . . they may mistake signs or the ~--sign"may mot teally be there. Far better to be told "You are NOT ill with cancer" "because you sought advice than to learn you waited too late. Be open-minded, don't ~ be afraid to ask. . . that is the advice of the Cancer Society. " What about "THE CHEQUE" in the fight to conquer Cancer? It is with the money raised through annual campaigns and at other times that the Society has helped EDUCATE people and so improve "the incidence of successful treatment. Thousands who need help in other ways, ~ HOME-MAKERS services while they are ill; DRUGS necessary for their treatment; TRANSPORTATION to and from Hospit- al or Clinic; DRESSINGS after Surgery and a whole host of other services . . .. these are among the many ways in which the CHEQUE helps in the continuing battle. From the Beginning the Cancer Society ° has emphasized the need for RESEARCH and has given much toward this.

INGRAM, Port Perry Librarian Canadian Library Week is to be cele- brated not as an isolated seven days but as the culmination of a year of continu- ing promotion of books, reading and lib- --raries, by publishers, book sellers, librar- ~~ ians and Canadians who believe that Reading is the Key for all time and all --persons, -opening-the door to-continuing education, to inspiration, wisdom and enduring pleasure. ~ Visit your local library anytime, it's a friendly place -- but especially during Canadian Library Week. Learn to know, its resources. Support your Library in its budget needs. Help it to expand and im- prove its services. Remember more and more Canadians need more and more books and more and - more libraries. To-day Canada's vitality and indeed the very existence of the world depends on the degree to which its people form the habit. of reading to dis--- cover, to intelligently interpret and weigh ideas, and to reflect on the history, civil- ization and history of the past years. } THANK GOD IT'S OVER We have just gone through the most re- lentless winter I can remember. Deep snow I don't know about you, but it took World month. more out of me than four years of War II did. ) " But there are signs that the annual two-day phenomenon known in this country as Spring, is almost upon us, and it is with considerable satisfaction that I look back and sneer at the blizzard on March 21st, laughingly known as the First Day of Spring, and those 15-below temperatures just before Easter. I've made it again. Like many Canadians, I am in a state of -- suicidal depression by the middle of March. But those good old signs of spring catch me' just before I plummet into the pit, and there I am, forced to give it another whirl. The signs of Spring in these parts are not quite what they are in some parts of the world, but they're just as welcome. No larks sing, but is there anything sweeter than the first raucous call of a crow? The flowers don't exactly come popping out but those hardy annuals, the picnic tables; rear their brave heads through the snow in the yard. And there's color everywhere. Brown mud, vellow grass, green wine bottles on your front lawn, tossed there by some poor soul fighting mid-winter madness. And the lovely off- white of about three tons of sand and salt thrown onto said lawn by the snow-plow. "nals Corps of the Engineers "- Scugog Council, the Reeve . Liquors.. = Beare Bros.
