'Canadian ancer Society April is Cancer Month and the Canadian Cancer Society goes into a full, swing campaign to raise money for Cancer. The most effective way they will raise money is through the door-to-door canvass which will begin very soon. The people of this area always give generously. The Canadian Cancer Society was established in 1937 by and at the sugges- tion of the Canadian Medical Association. It's initial purpose all year long is the education of the general public with regard to Cancer. Their aims are now three-fold; Education, in order that the disease may be prevented or diagnosed and treated in the earliest states, service to Cancer patients and fund raising. The Cancer Society was originally founded to in- form people that consulta- tion with the family doctor is essential in the early treatment and detection of Cancer. Literature, films and displays plus T.V. carry out this aim. A pro- gramme to inform students of the relationship between smoking and lung cancer is carried out in the schools. Industries are also reached, and nurses from the In- dustrial Cancer Education Service show films and give brief talks to groups of employees who then are available to speak to in- dividual workers wishing to ask questions. Special cancer education program- mes are provided for members of the health team, physical education, and health teachers and others. There is the Cansur- mount programme, which is an emotional support system for cancer patients and their families. The pro- gramme is established in communities and run by volunteers. The volunteers must be willing to take training for the role of visitor and also attend regular educational support meetings. They must have a positive attitude and be able to listen with sym- pathy and sensitivity to both patient and family. With permission of the patient's family physician, a visit by a registered nurse from the department of Public Health, V.O.N. or Nursing Association is pro- vided free of charge to assist in determining the needs of the cancer patient. The Society also provides morale-building visits to patients who have undergone breast surgery. The visitor herself has had a mastectomy. Transportation is provid- ed to patients in need either by volunteers or public convenience to and from Treatment Centers and Clinics. They also operate lodges which are funded by the Ontario Cancer and Research Foundation. Pay- ment by the society for a specified list of pain- relieving drugs is provided upon request of the physi- cian to patients in financial need. There are also numerous prostheses such as wigs, breasts, electronic larynx, facial prostheses in- cluding eyes, artificial limbs and supplementary foods. The society's principal source of income is volun- tary contribution and be- quests. They also receive funds from industry, com- mercial sources and through special events. Thousands of volunteers give their time and talents to the Campaign effort as they know "Cancer can be Beaten."' /
