Ths was the message de- livered to an audience in the Bowmanville Library last Tuesday evening by Dr. Allan R. Handysides, a Toronto physician. In a public healtb lecture to about 35 people, Dr. Handy- sides pointed out that "nobody can really say what causes cancer. " However, the doctor added that such things as tobacco, harmful chernicals, over-ex- posure to sunlight and diet are ahi things that may play a role in the growth of the disease. Smoking Harmful Dr. Handysides said that in his own mind he had not the slightest doubt that smoking is associated with cancer. He said the kinds of cancer associated with smoking can be foundanywhere the srnoke goes, including the lungs, the lips and the tongue. While the doctor cid not state that smoking is a definiite,iguaranteed cause of cancer, he did say that "instances of cancer parallel almost like a shadow the instances of smoking." He advised smokers in the audience to kick the habit. Diet Important The doctor, who has prac- ticed as a -pediatrician and is now an obstetrician and gyna- cologist, added that diet is an important consideration. H1e suggests that people should eat more fibrous foods sucb as bran and whole-wheat and he suggested that coffee may be harrnful to one's health. "It bas been shown that coffee may be associated with cancer of the bladder,",he expiained later in the evening, during a question and answer session.1 "I'm sure we can't beat good water," he added. Sun-bathers, according to Dr. Handysides, can be get- ting too mitcb of a good thing. "Sunshîne in excess also CounCil Forms Comm ittees For 1977 Seven standing committees to deal with differe nt parts of the town's business were formed at the inaugural coun- cil meeting Monday, Jan. 3rd.

"In, the future, the land as a factor of production and as the setting for the community will count more heavily and not les5s, in the well being and prosperity of many commun- ities. the mayor said. "By writing off some of our better'agricuitural areas we may in fact also undermine one of the major sources of growth. We may kili the goose that lays the golden eggs, he concluded., pre-disposes to cancer," lhe stated. He said this is due to the ionizing effects of sunshine on the skin. SChemicals Chemicals are other agents that could make a person more cancer-prone. He noted that chemists and laboratory workéIrs who are dealing with unnatural substances have a higher instance of cancer. He listed pesticides, food additives and insecticides as examples of unnatural chem- icals. When cancer strikes, Dr. Handysides explained that it is not always accompanied by pain. Unfortunately, it is often sulent," hie said. Divide and Conquer While there are many dif- ferent kinds of cancers, hie said that ail cancer-type) illnesses are characterized by wild and uncontrolled division of cells. Cancerous celis are "Doing their own thing regardless of the common good," he.said. A tendency towards cancer may be an inherited trait but Dr. Handysides said that inheritance probably plays aý very small role in the illness. Radiation and viruses may be other factors responsible for the disease, hie said. "See to it that you keep as natural a life as you can," Dr. Handysides concluded and hie suggested' that people shouldn't look with distain on tbe "health nuts."
