Dates are as follows (all games Winners were: CANCER...the word is synonymous with fear. Few of us will not be affected in some way by this terrible disease. We are all aware of someone, a close friend, a relative, a member of our own family, who has cancer. What is this illness which causes so much despair? April is cancer campaign month in Canada. Terry Fox has caused $22.4 million dollars to be con-- tributed to the Canadian Cancer Society. The Russell Branch of the Cancer Society is doing its part in the search to find a cure for cancer. On March 30th we will host a Spring Fashion Show at the Recreation Centre starting at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $2 for adults and $1 for children, with all proceeds going to the Cancer Campaign. Each spring, more than 30 Russell residents volunteer to help with the campaign. We need more volunteers for this important ser- vice. Anyone wishing to assist the Cancer Society in its canvass, please call the Campaign Co- ordinator, Mrs. Diny Achtereekte at 445-3024 or Mrs. Hazel Rom- bough at 445-2845. There has been some success in the treatment of cancer. Improved surgical methods, particulary when combined with radiation and chemical theraphy (chemotherapy) has prolonged life. Nevertheless, a cure for cancer still eludes us. This, in spite of the fact that The Canadian Cancer Society spends 55% of its Curling Ist Prize $500 worth of groceries -- Mrs. Harry Heymans 2nd Prize $300 worth of groceries -- Paul Boland 3rd Prize $200 worth of groceries -- Cecil Reaney First prize was donated by the local I.G.A. store. - COME TO CHATEAU 417 RELAX IN THE PLEASANT SURROUNDI OF OUR BEAUTIFUL DANCING WITH POPULAR ORGAN MUSIC EVERY THURS., FRI., SAT.

The number of cancer cases is increasing each year, due in part to better diagnosis and more fre- quent recognition of the disease. Cancer favours neither men nor women. With the exception of leukaemia, cancer is rare among children. It attacks men and women though with equal fer- vour. Running a marathon a day is no mean feat. But Terry Fox did it the hard way, for he has only one leg. His right leg was amputated above the knee due to bone cancer. Terry's "Marathon of Hope" was halted abruptly in Thunder Bay, Ontario, on September 2nd. He had run, (hopped) more than 3000 miles when he experienced difficulty breathing. He was rush- ed to hospital and it was determin- ed that the cancer had spread to his lungs. : His courage touched the hearts of all Canadian, and _ people Page 7 throughout the world. There was a spontaneous response to his ef- forts to raise money for cancer research. The CTV _ network quickly organized a telethon and more than 20 million dollars was donated. The Canadian Cancer Society is still receiving contribu- tions from people who have been moved by the singular efforts of Terry Fox. At the time of writing, Terry Fox is gravely ill. It is not known whether he will win his own per- sonal battle with cancer. One | thing is certain, he has increased the awareness of Canadians about this disease. When a canvasser knocks at your door sometime during April... PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY, for the research that you support, may ultimately save the life of someone dear to you. Eric King.
