A: | Health Minister Urges Support for Cancer Fund The need for voluntary organi- ; cludes, "Cancer presents a mas- zations such as the Canadian Can- cer Society in the public health field has been emphasized by the Hon. J. Waldo Monteith, Minister ef National Health and Welfare. In a message of endorsement of the Society's April campaign for $3,287,000 to carry on its program of research, education and welfare services, Mr. Monteith says, 'This is a struggle in which every one of us has a vital stake and I would urge all my fellow citizens to back it to the hilt." The minister says further, "As far as research is concerned, the money contributed by Canadians is used to further the efforts of the National Cancer Institute which has done an outstanding job in stimulating and co-ordinating the work of scientists throughout the country. "Governments, too, are active in this field -- the National Health Grants and the new Medical Re- search are notable examples. But important as their role is, it does not in any way lessen the need for voluntary organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society." Mr. Monteith's message con- sive threat to all mankind. Its con- quest will require an equally mas- sive effort on the part of. every segment of our health team. By re- sponding generously to its 1961 appeal we can ensure that the Canadian Cancer Society will con- tinue to throw its full' weight against this age-old enemy of hu- man health and well-being."

Cancer Society Aid New Research Unit _The green light fer the opening of what has been ealled a mile- stone in Canadian cancer research has just been given by a grant of $60,750 by the National Cancer In- stitute of Canada to the newly established Caneer Research Unit of the University of Western On- tario.

What's. more, it is as easy as it Jooks to build with fir plywood sheets, simple carpentry tools and every farm handyman's knowhow. You can turn it into an even gore useful implement by adding sides to form a hopper to store feed and supply it to the tray. The sides should be cut from half-inch fir plywood and fastened to the five upright forms. The gap you leave between the sides and the tray will depend on the type of poultry feed you use. The finer the feed is chopped, the larg- _ er the gap. ' The hopper eliminates the need for every-day filling of the feed tray, and the design allows feed to empty into the tray as it is con- sumed by the birds. Fir plywood reduces cracks and makes clean- ing easy. The skids permit the poultry yancher to fill the feeder straight from the granary atid tow it -- or even a whole train of range feed- ers -- to their locations on the range. The hopper's. flip-top makes {Se filling a simple matter. Rain cannot spoil the feed, and wind can't open the lid held -se- curely down by its metal flashing. Qne feeder can accommodate a large number of birds; in-faet,; as many as can stand _ shoulder-to- shoulder in 16 feet of space eight feet on each side of the feed- er. : The design shown here has an inch-and-a-half gap between ~ hop- per and tray bottom. This is adequate for all but the most finely chopped feed. For very fine feed, simply cut the side panels of the hopper to allow for a wider gap between the side and the bottom of the tray. This feeder will save you work and last many summers but, like anything wood, it should receive a good coat of paint to do the best job. Be sure to use fir plywood edge marked '"PMBC EXTERIOR" . This plywood, like all plywood made.in Canada, is manufactur- ed with completely waterproof glue and will not come apart even in wettest weather. The UWO unit is the third such established in Canada and will be directed by a former graduate of Western, Dr. A. Cameron Wallace, who has been part of the depart- ment of pathology at the Univer- |, sity of Manitoba since 1955. The other two units, at the University of Saskatchewan and the Univer- sity of British Columbia, are di- rected by former -associates of Dr. Wallace's at Western, Drs. R. W. Begg and R. L. Noble, respec- tively. Apart from Dr. Wallace, the staff of the unit will include Dr. J. H. Cutts, 33-year-old patholo- gist, who earned his doctorate de- gree in medical research at Wes- tern in 1958; Dr. D. G. Monte- murro, 30, another Ph.D. ftom Western; and Guy Sainte-Marie, 34-year-old product of the Univer- sity of Montreal. The unit will be- gin operations in temporary quar- ters on July 1 and is expected to move into a new university build- ing before the end of the year. Other UWO grantees are Dr. R. J. Rossiter, chairman of the NCI's research advisory group and pro- fessor and head of the univer- sity's department of biochemistry, who received $10,880 to finance study of certain properties of can- cer cells; Dr. H. B. Stewart, pro- fessor of biochemistry, who receiv- ed $11,000 to make possible labora- tory -work on experimental tum- ours; Dr.' R. C. Buck, associate professor in the department of mi- croscopic anatomy, who gets $7,395 for the study of one aspect of how cancer cells multiply; and Dr. D. P. Swartz, to whom $5,170 was granted for the study of the pos- sible application of chemotherapy to cervical cancer. Research fellowships of $1,500 each were given to Drs. Cutts and Montemurro for further training, Dr. Montemurro studying at the Yale University, and one of $3,600 to Dr. Valentine Donish, 41-year- old Russian-born biochemist who has studied or practiced in Aus- tria, Germany, England and West Africa. A doctor under whom Dr. Donisch previously worked report- ed to the Institute: 'Dr. Donisch.is a very clever woman with an unusually analyti- cal mind. She has an above-aver- age ability in: medical matters. She has one of the most inquiring 'minds I have ever met." Her hus- band is also an M.D. Fire Inspection James Whelan, chairman of the Fire Committee on the Haileybury Council has an- nounced that starting within the next few days, fire inspec- tions: of home and business places will be made by the Fire Chief, Mr. K. Watson, and an assistant, on a door to door basis. As this inspection is of great value to every home owner and his family, it is hoped that complete co-operation will be extended to the inspectors to make the inspection speedy and * complete. Pamphlets on fire detection and the correc- tion-of all fire hazards in the home will be left with the householder to ensure a safer home and péace of mind.
