wednesday eveg april mh 1ss8 thi oiokoitown hutald- 4 games little nhl finals monday april 14th 4 games a message from the mayor i am pressed to give my wholehearted endorsation to the 1958 campaign for funds of the canadian cancer socie ty this voluntary agency together with its affiliated or ganization the national cancer institute of canada is in the forefront of the battle against this major health threat and as suth merits the encouragement and support of us alt cancer today stands as one of the last great obstacles to mans conquest of disease here in canada it is not pnly the second leading cause of death but also takes a hea vy toll in terms of suffering and anxiety among the thous ands of its victims who survive against such an adversary our maor weapon is research research into the forces which lie behind this chaotic and lifedestroying growth of celts that is why this avenue of approach has jaeen given increasing emphasis in recent years both by government and by private bodies such as the canadian cancer society in deed our overall expenditures on cancer research are now something like four times what they were in 1948 through the national health grants the federal govern ment contributes considerably towards canada s cancer con trol program in addition to funds for research assistance is provided for diagnostic and treatment services as well as for other important activities but these expenditures do not degin to meet the costs of progress in this field they must be supplemented by the voluntary contributions of every cit izen it is for this reason that i would urge all my fellow jtizens to respond generously to the north halton unit s appeal with every dollar given will go a new hope for a final victory over this dreadful enemy of human
