mam Examiner riiiilisned by Canadian Newspapera Idmlted it Hayfield street Barrie oatm wen mm i4 uniem Dedicated Barrie Girl Takes Long Long View Elsewhere on this page is story by Barrie girl who is living with native tribe in the remote Mountain Province in the Phillpplna We had chatted with Ora Moss iew months ago beiore she left and she agreed to send us report of her experiences Her object in leaving North American comfort or hardships far from home is an ambitious and exciting one she is associated with group of linguistic experts and Bible translators which hopes to transcribe spoken native dia lects into written languages teach them to the natives translate the Bible into these new languages and ilrlally teach them about the Bible and Christ ianity We recall that she estimated the en tire process could take 20 yems if you started with tribe which had do writ ten language Miss Moss was originally destined for Viet Nam but was not permitted to 8° there because of the trouble in the in terior So she has been temporarily as signed to the Philiippines In separate letter she tells us that this tribe the IE orots are oi the same racial stock as the mountain people oi southeast Asia We have been much impressed with both the dedication and the attitude or Miss Moss and her cohorts They seem to realize that in undeveloped regions democracy and Christianity are unreal istic dreams until people are wellted housed healthy and educated and that outsiders must be prepared to respect native cultures and traditions It only more Westerners could take the long view in Asia Africa and Latin America Cancer Research Stalled One reason why research interest in lung cancer has fallen oil in Canada is the failure at research workers to find laboratory animal in which lung can cer can be induced This was the explanation given at the recent annual meeting 01 the National Cancer Institute of Canada in Montreal in Dr Noble head or the cancer research unit or the University or Brit ish Columbia who reviewed for members of the Institute the organizations en tire tourandahalrmilliondollar re search program during the past five years During 1955 and 1956 he said there were 13 projects concerned with lung cancer but today there are only two Various attempts haVe been made to induce lung cancer in animals he said notably in the US and England where mice have lived from birth to death in tobacco smoke without contracting it and in Scotland wheres system was de vised to force chickens to continually draw tobacco smoke into their lungs but without results someone were successful in induc ing lung cancerin experimental an imals llfi said there would be re surgence or interest in lung cancer in this country Dr Noble said thatthe principal areas or cancer research at present lie in the study or cell behavior viruses and che motherapy The search for human virus esis being pursued in sev8ral parts of the world including Canada he said and was complicated by the met that al THE new FRONTIERSMEN though viruses have been found in hu mangancers there is so tar no evidence that these viruses cause the disease He remarked that although certain drugs had been found effective it 1e types cancer they were useful only for time because inevitably cer cells develop resistance to them Why this should be the case is the sub Ject of some Canadian research he said Other projects include investigation or the apparent tumor inhibiting qual ities of royal Jelly 11 method for replac ing bone marrow which might be de stroyedby therapeutic radiation and the possibility of immunizing man against cancer Although cure for cancer has not yet been round Dr simard at Mon treal remarked that due to research it is now possibleto keep alive for several years patients who mere ten yours ago would probablynave died in raw months The Institute this year has contri buted $13200000 towards research projects and 15 research fellowships aboutlin per cent of the money coming from the publicriund campaign or the Canadian Cancer society including the Barrie Branch Other Editors Views COMPULSORY INSURANCE Cornwall standardeFreehoider The roads are no longer sale today and the person who drives without in surance is threat to the welfare or everyone he meetsWhile compulsion will be accepted with degree of reluct ance it is the lesser of two evils in this instance FOR PARENTS IN DISTRESS Financial Post Are your offsprings threatening to quit school for good when the June finals are over Here are two persuasive arguments which may come in handy when the ar guments get heated First CanadaslatéstK ad count or the unemployed shows that even slight downturns inbusinesshit hardest at those without skills orftiaining overall 11 percent the work force was Jobless during he first three months of thisyearteButjrhe rate among laborers was aaiper centjand for unskll led construction workers was 30 par cent At the other end of the education scale unemployment among trained ofiice and professional workers was only 35 per centprobably not far from the normal amount involved in switching from one job to another Second The wholeslcili level or the co onomy it is clear is being pushed up word by the pace technological ad vance in industryand it is the unskilled who areibeing left behind One example An IBM data processing machine has just computed airline fares between 70000 pairs of points in the world air market for the International AAir Transport Board The timeao hours IATA says there were 800 million cal culations which would have taken 50llpvworkers year to do by hand But instead or 5000 endowed with no special talents the job required only scoreor sofor highly trained researchers to feed the necessary information into the machine Themoral is

wielded an lure to cut firewood for decade went back to the woods this year Now thousands of piles of firewood timber and touring material are stacked along the roads awaiting by truck when highways be come passable after the winter Some men used horse to haul their wood supplies directly wood piles near their homes thus saving the cost of trucking Hard frost and plenty of snow made the winter an excellent one for work in the Newfound land woods Shipper Albert lind der oi the Burin Peninsula on the south coast says any man who kept to the woods cone stanlly last winter could easily have obtained enough firewood to last for two or three years 10 MILES DAY Travelling about iomiles he made two trips day during December January February and March Because of his age he now uses small
