This and That By Soiben Twackle The rapid -tempo of modern living is such that I personally was not able to conduct a survey for my sub- ject this week. I was however, able to enlist the services of my agent-- Joshua Fatz--a man of high integrity and with remarkable ability to obtain the facts necessary for accurate re- porting and observation. _ With bulldog. tenacity Joshua Fatz --has relentlessly persued the subject under review and after a period of investigation covering the last five months, has presented me with facts, which prove, without doubt, that many friends in the area have exhausted their supply of friends. To present the picture clearly, I --have-to-go-back -to-midsummer-day "of last year. I well remember the day, as it was one of the few days ~ when I received a lofter in ys mail which was not a bill: The letter was opened with shak- ing hands. I ed comunication, the gist of the mat- ter being that, without any 'physical effort, financial outlay or risk on my part, I would not only save an ex- cessive amount of cash but great wealth would constantly descend into | my ever open palms. A hand written posteript, signed by alocal friend, implied that I would be out of my mind to ignore the proposition and that I should 'pay strict and devout attention to a yet-un-named agent when I received a call. Can my readers imagine the mental turmoil I suffered during. the ensu- ing days? As day succeeded day, my spirits were like a pogo stick operated by an over active youngster. .Then, 'when I had resigned myself to the fact that wealth would not come my way, I received a visitor one evening, A middle aged, well dressed execu- tive type man, armed with a bulging| briefcase, appeared -at the door and "with the courtesy extended to-all; was invited into my humble abode. He introduced himself as Mr, B ---- and enfightened me to the extent that his visit was the follow up -to_the curious letter I had received previous- ly. No mention of wealth. We talk- ed of the weather, our family, his family, our 'home, his home, No 'men- tion of wealth, I broached the pur- pose of his visit. He implied that the subject matter was almost classi- fied material and would take an hour to explain. I implied that I could not waf® that long. No mention of wealth. My ire slowly rose. I hate! procrastionation, "Come to the point", I requested. He hedged--my voice I gave him five minutes. He refused. He complained that he had made a special trip from Toronto. I ~tetorted that the trip was not at my "instigation. So the verbal battle raged. I won. As I had originally thought, he was selling. ~Watersoft- eners. The dea) was that I would purchase a 'water softener. If I persuaded a friend to make a similar purchase. 1 would get a rebat¥. If I persuaded sufficient friends to buy, 1, would eventually earn enough rebates to re- duce the cost of my softener to nil. Then for each further friend I recom- mended and who bought, I would get a further rebate. Cash. This would be profit. I could go out, make friends and the cash would pour in. At this point, I enlisted the ser- vices of Joshua Fatz. He surveyed| the situation, -- Joshua presumed that] -- Port Perry Do Well At Festival At the 4th Annual Music Festival held in Sunderland Jast week, Port Perry was well represented in the Piano Classes.

(I had not) He reasoned that I would need X number of friends who bought to reduce my cost to nil. Then I would need Y number of friends who also bought, to provide me* with profit. Biit the snag was that my X and Y friends would also be cashing in "on the same deal. They, in turn, would require a_similar™ number of friends and then further, the friends twice removed would also require Ad Infinitum. Joshua Fatz has the figures to prove that there are not enough peo- ple in the area, let alone friends, for this plan to work. Joshua figures; that if local friends were faithful and true to the cause, each friend stalled in their Snditidunl Wounds. But friendship - has gone to the wall. Friends are cheating friends out of friends. Joshua was unable to ascertain how many local people had actually purchased softeners un- der this scheme and were really cash- ing in. ; As I suggested earlier, the supply of local friends in this respect is ex- hausted. ) As the aging sbut- icon Percival Thistlewort once wisely remarked-- There's one born -every minute.

Arena on Friday ® PUBLIC SKATING af Port Perry Night Indications that cancer education is beginning to bear fruit are to be seen in a recent study of cancer mortality statistics between the years 1941 and 1958, according to the Canadian Can- cer Society. The analysis by Dr. A. J. Phillips, | statistician for the National Cancer Institute of Canada which is affiliated with the Society, shows that death rates in women from-all cancers have significantly decreased over the 18- year period. The figures for male cancer deaths, were not quite so en- couraging since a. statistically signi- ficant increase took place, but it was found that most of the increase had been caused by a substantial upswing | in the lung cancer rate. The rates in men showed a significant decrease. ! Dr. Phillips adjusted the mortality figures to take into consideration the fact that our population is ageing, and old people are more susceptible to cancer than young people. In other words, he has age-adjusted the figures, making them directly com- parable as if the percentage of the population in the different age groups in 19568 were just the same as in 1941. He found that the age-adjusted mor- tality rates per 100,000 of Canada's population in "eight principal body sites had done the following over the period studied: lip and mouth, de- ge for males, decreased for females; stomach, decreased in both males and females; rectum, no change for either sex; lung, increased for males (from 9.1 to 26.3 per 100,000) and no signi- ficant change for females; urinary organs, increased for males, no change for females; 'breast, no significant change; cervix, a borderline increase; uterus, a significant decrease; pros- tate, increased; leukemia, increased for both sexes. While cancer authorities frankly admit that some of the above develop- ments are complete mysteries (for example, the decrease in cancer of the stomach--a drop of 23.6 per cent in males and 86.6 per cent in females), the decreases which Dr. Phillips found in his analysis can be explained to some degree by public education. "There are some figures," says Dr. Phillips, "which can only be explain: ed by an increasing public awareness of the need for 'early treatment of cancer--for example, the number of early-reported lip cancers which has increased from 70 to 88 per cent." The Canadian Cancer Society now spends' about 18 per cent of its bud- get on public education, the keystone of which is this simple philosophy: the earlier treatment for cancer be- gins, the better the chances of a cure, | L =| for cancer of the mouth and stomach-+- creased in males; intestines, no chan-| | Eleanor Flowers, Gerrow's.

The forest is 3,000,000 acres and all planted by man. It takes 20 years for a pine tree to grow 40 or 50 feet high and a trunk about 18 inches through, down here. I went to the farm where I was workipg just because I wanted to sce a feltow--T had met on the boat who lives at Kaingaroa. Between Kaingaroa anc Rotura some forty miles that I hike I lost my wallet. I had to have som\ place to stay and save up a little money. 1 went back a week later and found my wallet with all the money. I am making roughly $65.00 a week and will stay here until the seventh of May. I may then be going down to the South Island so do not send any mail here after the Fifteenth of April. I don't think this would be a good country to settle in. The farm land is very expensive. The government pays the farmers .28c. a pound for butter and sells it at .18¢c., wool and meat are all the same. Oats cost about 3% for a bushel bag or $8.40. To buy, say a hammer it would cost $4.20 or 1£-10.
