L. Donoâ€" hue, Director of Pathology at the Hospital for Sick Children, in a reâ€" cent interview. "It is highly desirable that inâ€" formation concerning this partiâ€" cular aspect of the general cancer problem be made known, but in making this information available, it is also of the utmosi imp.stace that wnwarranted fear should not be planted in the minds of parents.

Like all his public utterances, the sincerity of Mr. Lock: hart was unchallenged when he announced his retirement on Thurglay last.

When the Mackenzie King floodâ€" tide was on all throughout the country, Mr. Lockhart also defeated the late Senator Bench, a most beloved man in this communâ€" Now things as regards hopes and prosâ€" pects of the Conservative party are different. There is a rosy hue everywhere for the party, something ucknowledga' by every commentâ€" ator and the man on the street. "Mac" is pulling out.
