Sometimes.loâ€" cal growths do occurâ€"warts, moles Or wens which are very distant cousins of cancer. "Starting with no more visible signs of its presence than do the other growths," says the doctor, "cancer grows rapidly, invades the surrounding, or even remote, tissues and causes an upset in the general orderly behaviour of the body. Cancer often demands and receives preference in blood and food supply as compared with normal tissue. It may even outgrow its food supply and cause trouble by the formaâ€" tion of areas of death and degeneration of its own substance. . would at some future date cease to exist. Men cannot be used for experiâ€" mentation with cancer to any large degree nor can they be well used for observation as the observer grows old just as rapidly as the subject.

As appointments to the Cabinet are definitely the preroâ€" gative of the Premier, the Acting Preâ€" mier could give no assurance whatever on this question. The Actng Premier made a tentative appointment with the provincial president for early in Januâ€" ary and at that time the list of exâ€" servicemen dismissed by the ‘present Government, compiled by tae Frovinâ€" cial office will be analyzed.

He remains outside‘ who is absent fror ‘ there are more _ gets the mbst slams Obviously, in order to make any headway in representations on behalf of Imperials in Canada, the utmost goodwill must prevail. It is not an easy task for a Canadian organization to influence public opinion in the Old ‘Country so as cause the British Government to bring about any essenâ€" tial changes in its regulations in order to meet conditions of exâ€"Imperials livâ€" ing in another land. All the same, while the difficulties are great, a deâ€" termined effort is being made to imâ€" plement the resolutions affecting Imâ€" perial exâ€"servicemen which were passâ€" ed by the last Dominion Convention, and in the meantime the Canadian Leâ€" wion continues as heretofore to press the adjustment of individual cases through its Service Bureau. As an instance of this the Northern Ontario Adjustment Officer Comrade H. Wyse, has been of much assistance in securâ€" ing for a local comrade a retroâ€"active Imperial pension. This particular case with its heavy fyle of correspondence and the resultant adjustment more than justifies the need for Comrade H. Wyse to carry on his duty in connecâ€" tion with the Service Bureau in this part of the province. Ontario Government to Continue Grant to Indigns In considering the imeans by which, this object can Bbest be attained, it should be borne in mind that there are fundamental differences in British and“ Canadian pension legislation. Also, in matters of administrative practice there are certain variations. The manifest difficulty confronting the Canadian Legion inâ€"attempting to obtain changes in British regulations on behalf of disâ€" abled ,Imperals in Canada may be gauged by the great difficulties which the British Legion encounters when seeking similar beneficial changes, alâ€" though its officials, being on the spot,. can make personal appeals to the Briâ€" tish Government. to stand again, but owing to causes over which I have no control your corâ€" respondent will not be in the field. It has only been a matter of pressure to continue until the yearly term expires that has prevented my resignation from the executive body.

As others are named this column will announce them to you. So good luck to those in the running and to the Timmins branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion, .Next Nomination night, Monday, January 21st. ‘ Some Imperial Notes The problem of the disabled Imperial veteran in Canada presents many difâ€" ficulities and is not easily susceptible of solution. Nevertheless, the Canadian Legion has for many years endeavoured to improve his lot and has neglected no opportunity of drawing his position to the attention of the government of the Unitegl Kingdom, either directly or through the British Empire Service League Headquarters in London, The bond of sympathy between the Canadian veteran and the Imperial veteran is a very strong one. Thouâ€" sands of Canadians served in ‘the Imâ€" perial Forces, and it goes without sayâ€" ing that the men of the C.E.F. would very much like these and the Imperial comrades who have their homes in Canada to receive the fullest possible measure of consideration. gms, Curtis and some of the recent new additions are among these. Some of the present executive are r‘ead_y also of the Timmins branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion are concerned special inâ€" terest is being taken in the forthcomâ€" ing election of officers. Always a merry struggle this annual event takes on strange angle this year. Rumour, that everâ€"present has it thai the president‘s chair is to be contested, with three names mentioned as aspirâ€" ants. In regard to this your corresponâ€" dent would like to suggest openly that our present leader Austin Neame, the one who did all the "Shovel Work" for the present clubhouse, at least be in position to be able to fulfil the first yearly obligation of the branch for the generous action of the imines in grantâ€" ing the finances to make the building possible. Austin should at least have the honour as president of signing the first cheque. The rest of the officers of 1934 have worked at all times for the best interests of the branch, but among those mentioned as being ready for nomination are several who have in the past gave splendid and unselfish service. Comrades Bellamy, Rowe, Parâ€" C iXA who has a collar button that will make the Sudbury one look like an infant? has imagination perished from the which he has used every Christmas for 20 years. The tree is still as good aAs the day he bought it in Ohio. It comes apart in sections and can be put away in moth balls which explains its longe: vity. The limbs fit into holes in the trunk after the manner of chair legs The needles are glued to the limbs and the whole tree is shellacked. â€" When assembled it stands about two and a half feet high. The haunting fcar Arises that the collar button may be like the Christâ€" mas treeâ€"artificialâ€"and that is one thing that is barred in collar buttonsâ€" the artificilal. Whatever else may be artificial and get away with It, a ool-l? lar button is one thing that must be If any one doubts this 80â€"yearâ€"old use of the one collar button, he can find the picture of Mr. Tremblay in The Sudbury Star, the photo and enâ€" graving all by The Star‘s new photoâ€" engraving plant. It has to be admitted that the colâ€" lar button story is somewhat weakened by the admission of Mr. Tremblay that Very evidently Mr. Cryderman would like to "ginger up‘"‘ Canadians, especiâ€" ally prospectors, capitalists and governâ€" ments. The prospectors no doubt could do more if the governments helpâ€" ed things along. Conditions force governments to think chiefly in terms of taxes, which is not so good. It is an ancient axiom that the man who tells the first story hasn‘t a chance. ' Also there is that other saying:â€""the more they come the worse they get." That North Bay story looked like a winner. But it was only a second story. There was naturally another to come. This other proved to be a Sudâ€" bury one. B. J. Tremblay, Sudbury garageman, owns a collar button which he claims was found by a sea captain in Scotland 80 years ago, was given by the captain to Tremblay‘s father, a sailor, who wore it every day for 55 years, and came into his possession about five years ago. â€" Now he only wears the button on Bunday. "Mines are lying waiting because men who know how to explore can‘t get the money to do it. Give the old prospectors money â€" until they won‘t take any more and watch the places they‘d open up," he urged. He sketched the _ resultant prosperity which he said would follow the inâ€" crease in the numbers of mines. "Increased production of gold would increase the price Of socks and mitts and hundreds of other things. It would relieve the banks of ~a burden if they could get the money â€" they‘ve got piled away working," he said. It started with a gentleman in Engâ€" land who had a collar button that he had used for thirtyâ€"five years. As noted in The Advance on Monâ€" day, this English collar button story stirred a North Bay man, Mr. Small, J.P., formerly a tax collector and â€" 0 a truthful and humane man, to conâ€" fess that he had a collar button which he had used for 44 years and the aniâ€" mal had never eluded him to hide unâ€" der the dresser or the bed. The circulation of collar buttons at the present time seems to prove all this. Claims Collar Button is Over Eighty Years Old Russel Creyderman, wellâ€"known prosâ€" pector of the North, who has prospecâ€" ted in the rushes to Porcupine, Kirkâ€" land Lake, Gowganda, Cobalt and other camps, and who at present makes his headquarters in Sudbury, gave an inâ€" terview the other day in which he said many things that are the bofiter for being said. He urged the fact that still more interest, enthusiasm and capital are needed in the gold fields of the North. Referring to the Long Lac and Sturgeon River areas he said that there is a gold belt stretching from Little Long Lac to Nipigon Lake, about fifty miles long and ten to twelve miles wide. "I told them years ago that if they prospect such areas intensively they‘d help the unemployment situation betâ€" ter than in any other way," he said. "It‘s difficult to convince the men with the money. Canada would be the greatest country in the world if Canaâ€" dians had any enterprise," he said. Says Canadians Timid in Developing Mining Fields On Monday evening the annual meeting of the congregation of Bt. Matthew‘s Church was held in the church hall, the rector being in the chair. The reports presented showed that 1934 had been one of the best years in the history of the parish, and the prospects are bright for 1935. Messrs. Fowler, Gedge, Robinson, Brown, Wright and Morris were chosen as the official vestry, while Messrs. Joyner, Gedge and Fowler were elected as delegates to the diocesan synod.

Survey Says that Expanâ€" sion of Copper Output an Indirect Consequence . of I(;Ii;l:éler Output Nickel and old. The most substantial gain was that of nickel and the least expansion that which took place in copper, the letter says. _A steadily increasing proposition of Canadian ores are smelted and â€"refined within the country, with the result that both mining and allied industriese have shown pronounced recovery through the expansion in world demand for these materials. "In view of the efforts which are being made to regulate the total world production of almost every lindividual metal except iron, it may be of some interest to know why Canadian productitcn has ‘nmnot been brought under regulation by the cartels," the report continues. â€" "For instance, the expansion of Canadian copper output has been the indirect consequence of increased producâ€" Gold Rise Obscures Gain by Other Metals A spectacular rise in the price of gold and the rapid gain in the value of Canadian gold productions has tended to obscure the noteworthy â€"advances achieved by the base metal mines. it is observed in the monthly »letter of the Royal Bank of Canada reâ€" leased this week.
