Fight The Barrie unit of the Canadian Can cer Society annual financial campaign to raise $12000which is the local objec tive in the coast to coast drive for $3 519000 is in full operation Hope is expressed that Barrie unit will notjbe satisfied with simply attaining the objective but that the crusading zeal of Workers will attain such momentum it will carry them well beyond the mini muI required Flunds collected during the campaign will be directed for three purposes to finance research into the causes of can cerand possible cures to promote the edurlation of the public on the facts of cancer principally the fact that the earl icritreatment of cancer can be started theibetter and to give aid and comfort to cancer patients in need Education and services to patients have beep effective not only in improving the lot pf the cancer patient but in actually showing us how to prevent cancer in some instances and in contributing to the worldwide assault on the disease in the form of patient exacting and even in spired laboratory work Hope is expressed that the day may be close at hand when cancer which con stitutes threat to health and ha pines of so many Canadians which is sec ond most common cause of death will he no more than sad memory in the his tory of medicine In the coming year more than 19000 cancer patients in Canada will benefit from efforts of this Society More than 90000 volunteers in 1900 communities participate in these activit ies through our individual financial con tributions Research is the hope chest which it is expected will some day help scientists find the solution to cancer The more money and intelligent effort we can put into the chest now the sooner that day will come This appeal is one which should de servedly touch the heart strings and the pocket books of citizens of every walk of life in Barrie as throughout the coun try Kidnapping Castro Style Fidel Castros callous plan to improve Cubas sagging economy by selling polit ical prisoners might well be inspected by other governments suffering from unbal anced budgets Cuba is asking $62000000 for the re turn to the US of the 1000 Cubans who attempted to invade Cuba last year Pric es range from $25000 to $500000 de pending on rank If someone doesnt come through with the payments the prisoners will have to work off their own price over prison terms of as long as 30 years according to the judgment of Cuban court There are numerous nations plagued by economic ills Canada itself runs quite few deficit budgets and also is on the bad end of the trade balance figures all too often Possibly all this could be cur ed by international kidnapping and ran som President Kennedy for example should be worth enough to balance our budget for years to come Maybe we could even

symptomatic of the problems of the modern nurse that only four of these deal with nurses salaries The need of adequate remuneration is not mentioned until the 16th recommendation The questions bothering todays nurses arise out of the tremendous change in the practice of medicineduring the past years Twenty years ago the nurses role was far simpler than it is today though she was working longer and perhaps harder Now she does more thanmake beds and linger over patient wiping his brow and rubbing his back She is part of much larger team something which thrusts new responsibilities on her and may cost The Barrie Examiner Authorized as second class mail Poet Offloe Department Obtlwly and for payment of postage in cash nury Sundays and Statutory Holidays excepted KENNETH WALLS

close personal attention Nursing like medicine is in period of transition Love and kindness and sound instinct are only the beginning The duties of nurse today her respon sibilities in blood transfusions in intra venous medicine in inhalation therapy all need to be defined for the nurses and the patients welfare The nurses brief shows something of the conflicts the profession feels The brief resents the wastefulness of giving nurses work which nonprofessional staff can do On the other hand it is uneasy about nurses doing tasks which properly belong to doctors The nurse in smaller communities and hospitals often becomes by necessityra little doctor That is tribute to the com petence of nurses It is also unfair and dangerous to force the nurse to make de cisions and perform duties beyond her own responsibility There are signs in Ontario that bet ter definition of nurses duties is being made Agreement has been reached and approved by the Ontario College of Phy sicians and Surgeons on the procedures which can be carried out by nurses whose competence has been specified by the hospital The Canadian nurses conditions of work have greatly improved though not enoughit should be noted to prevent more than 10000 nurses from emigrat ing to the United States in nine years Let their conditions be still further im proved but the sense of duty and ser vice should never be lost to the profes sion All attempts to better the nurses life should recognize that sacrifice and seiflessness are part of being good IIIITSE LOADING THE STIIRTERS GUN OTTAWA REPORT Budget Is Unique For Two Qualities By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA Finance Minister Donald Flemings budget is re markable for two unique qual itics First although submitted to Parliament almost on the eve of general election it con tains no bribe to the voters such as reductions in income tax or widespread handout This precedent we must hope marks political recogni tion that the voters now are too sophisticated to fall any more for that backwoods gimmick of bribing the voters with their own tax money in future we may reasonably hope Canada will be given sunshine bud get when the economic sun is shining not when the electoral winds are blowing Second this is the first bud get in the memory of many longtime observers on Parlia ment Hill which has not pre cipitated loud and justified crit lcism from some nonpolifical quarter Spokesmen for chain bers of commerce associations of manufacturers and our ma ior industries all commend the inducements given in this bud get to future economic expan alon Spokesmen for other parties of course damn the budget Tommy Douglas NDP leader says This is businessmnns budget which will do little if anything for the people of Con ada This is contradicted by Thompson leader of the Social Credit party who says Mr Flemings allowances to business and industry are min imal Liberal Leader Mike Pearsons initial comment was memorable chiefly for the plug he gave patent medicine on the floor of Parliament public ity such as $1000000 could not buy In summary the budget aims to reward those businesses which expand and which thus olfer more jobs to Canadians it also encourages businesses to carry out research here in Can ada constructive and imag inutive provision This is what some prominent Canadians said of the budget The tax concessions should definitely spur development of the whole economy Mathers President of the Cana dian Manufacturers Assntlalt tion This will help Canada to ex pand and help to increase em ployment Campbell president of Canadian Wasting house Limited TO YOUR Goon HEALTH Gets Electric Shock Changing The By JOSEPH MQLNER MIL Dear Dr Molner All winter when change the linen on the beds get electric shocks You should see the sparks fly Is there any help for people like me MR5 Anybodyran encounter this sparkly experience with static electricity Small electric charges are created by friction especially when conditions are dry The friction of your shoes on the floor or more com monly on carpeting tor deep rugt can build up enough of charge to make spark One answer is to touch some metal object so that the charge disperses before itbuilds up high enough for sparks Nylon and silk garments tend to ac cumulate these static charges Cotton which absorbs traces of moisture isnt as likely to Thats why in operating rooms people wear cotton gowns and lclothing and avoid silk or ny on The little shocks dont harm you but are annoying Dear Dr Molner What is your opinion of birth control pills Are they accurate healthy and proven elc They appear to be promising but they have to be taken on schedule Miss taking them and there is rebound character istic which makes pregnancy more likely instead Medically the pills are used and then stopped for this very purpose The same medication is also used for other gynecological conditions and menstrual ab normalities Dcnr Sir have three cllil drcn The last boy was called posterior birUi had never heard of it but the doctor said Beds it made the labor twice as long Will you please explain MRS Ordinarily baby is born head first and after the head has emerged the rest of the birth is relatively easy How ever sometimes the baby turns around Because of his foldedup posi tion he Isnt born feetfirst but buttocksfirst and in that dou bledover position it is much more difficult for him to move from the womb to the world awaiting him outside it could be that youve never heardof posterior birth because it so often is called breech deliv ery The term posterior may also refer to position of the skull at time of birth Most babies present occiput anterior ie back of skull is forward It in opposite position it is called occiput posterior Dear Dr Molnar What do these readings mean Choles terol 289 and sugar tblood 1167 is it bordering on any se rious condition MRS Both figures mean milli grams per cent That doesnt mean 116 per cent of any thing however The term per cent simply means per hundred and in both these cases per hundred cubic centimeters of blood That is 116 milligrams or thousandth of grarnlof blood sugar per 100 cubic centimeters of blood Or 289 milligrams of cholesteroltor the same amount Blood sugar depends on whether the reading is taken before breakfast or two hours afterward which usually runs between 90 and 120 Hence the range you cite is normal The cholesterol reading however is high according to current stand ards The proposals affecting the oil industry will bring lmmedl ate benefits to the economics of the four western provinces Carl Nickle president of Cola gory Chamber of Commerce The broad objective of the budget to encourage business expansion as means of eco nomic recovery is appropriate and mallstlc Erad shnw chairman of the Cana dian Chamber of Commerce EMPHASIZE MORE TRADE These and the many similar commean suggest that this is indeed budget to prompt Can adas businessmen carrot held out in front of our sales men This idea was more suc cinctly expressed by Mrs Jean Casselman MP for Glengarry Prescott who suggested that the ideas of Trade Minister George flees had played large part in formulating this budget The philosophy of salesman George she said has very definitely stimulated the think ing of the whole government and influenced this budget in running commentary on the budget one Ottawa radio station said It begins to look as it George Hees was guiding the hand of Finance Minister Fleming in writing this bud got Only time can tell whether the right approach is being made to what is certainly the right objective But if by the end of this year more jobs have been created in Canada and more Canadian goods are being exported abroad as well as being sold at home in place of imported competitors then we will know that the 1962 bud get is living up to the promise which we see in its courage The Word Of Resignation Father into Thy hands commend my spirit The story is almost told The long ordeal ls over for the brok en can bear no more Cniel inhumanity now takes its final toll in death And with the last quivering breath of llfe He sighs this prayer of commit tal Father lnto Thy hands commend my spirit Notice that though Jihyalcai death is at hand the srkness of the aplrlt has passed The clouds have llfted the tortured hour of doubt is now forgotten and the devastating sense of abandonment is but lost mem ory The midnight crisis of the soul has come and gone being shattered by the dawn of re turning faith So with enviable serenity of spirit He resigns himself into the Fathers care There is story of the boy Brevis looking at the picture of the crucifixion in book and saying with deep emotlon If God had been there He would not have let them do it And with this little lad we too are sometimes tempted to think of this perplexing event as some thing which happened when God back was turned or as something whlch happened in spite of Him or yet as some thing intended to appease his anger before He will turn friendly face to man All this is gross and serious mis understanding of the Cross The word of reslgnatlon indi cates beyond all doubt that for Jesus the Fathers presence was the one great sustaining reality That above all Is the message of this utterance And right from the very beginning the Christian Church has pro claimed the crucifixlon as an event in which God is deeply involved aharer in Christs n1 flictions This is not just pathetic cry to some distant absentmlneded God who dwells in lonely detachment far above the sound of historys wee lag and murmuring Rather th is confining whisper of surren dcr to someone close at hand it is like final word of bene diction lisped to friends around bedside in the hour of death Now two things in particular seem to be worth saying about this utterance Father into Thy hands commend my splr it First It Is the secret of our survival in this present life It was so for Jesus and it is so for us it may be sign of my departed youth but as the days go by become more and more convinced that were it not for the glorlous fact of Gods pres ence life would not really be worth the struggle Without Him we have nothing and we are nothing He is the only ulti mate reality beneath and he hinrl all the transient material superficiality with which we clutter our lives And because all else is frailand temporary we find abiding security only when our life is oriented in Him only when we have put ourselves into His care and keeping with this prayer of committal on our lips And how much this means when the roof comes tumbling BIBLE THOUGHT From you sounded out the word of the Lordl Thesau lonlans 18 Who has heard the word of the Lord from you this week WORDS FROM THE CROSS in upon us when tragedy de livers wms swift incisive stroke when dreams are shut tered and hope departs What comfort than to know that He who shared the Cross of Christ shares all our crosses and by His very presence makes them bghter Yes this Is the secret of our survival in this present life but it is also the substance of our hope for the life to come This relationship which is via uallled in the prayer of resin ation has nothing temporary about it This is not some em crgeocy measure our lord in taking to tide Him over for the time being Listen to it Into fby hands commend my splr it There is an echo of etern ity in it it is not bound or lettered by the narrow confines of earth It sweeps on beyond the limit of the here and now Into the vast unchartercd con tinent of the spirit in book whlch was read log recently minister asked an 30yearold member of his congregation what did she re gard as the best years of her life And she answered the young preacher Ah lad havent had them yet She mount of course that she an ticipatcd yet deeper joy in the nearer presence of God This is line of thought from which we shy away nowadays and yet this is note which echoes and reechoes throughout the New Testament When we to sign ourselves into Gods mer cy our footste are cheered with the indom table hope that nothing can separate us from hllls lovs and the best is yet to Thls Is the final address In the series Words from
