Lane, ‘ Medical â€" Health Officer, of Porcupine Health Unit, enmâ€" phasized the need for general public education in regard to cancer, the serious inroads made by the disease and the need for active public attenâ€" tion to curb the disease. Although cancer is not communiâ€" cable, it ranks as second as cause for deaths toâ€"day, though in its early stages it is curable. From 75 to 95 per cent of cancer cases can be cured if neglected, the disease becomes mor and more resistant to treatment On account 6f this, the Medical Health Officer pointed out,â€" it is necessary to deal with cancer in its early stages, if a successful ‘battle is to be waged against it. The speaker showed how vilally canâ€" cer was a public health problem. . "It causes iliness, with the consequent loss of time and money to the individual and the community, and it takes lives," he said, "and it is good busiâ€" ness on the part of the community and the country to lessen these losses to the utmost extent." : This coul? be done, Dr. Lane said, ‘ If the public interest and attenuonl _mmmed.andultwerenpteon- Twentyâ€"five cents is now the price. enough, he stated. comâ€" comâ€" * 'I‘he act permitas only "occasional" bingo, Magxsnate S.

As a result, the Deputy Claimed, various members of the police who had access to the vault ‘in which the liquor was stolen, felt I themselves under a cloud. and heard all the available evidence that has been offered as to the adâ€" ininistration of the Department, have come to the conclusion that there is an utter breakdown of morale and discipline in the police force, and that this has been brought about by the non coâ€"opgration of the Chief and the Deâ€" putyâ€"chief, and that having been inâ€" formed that they cannot work toâ€" gether, we think it is in the best interâ€" est of the police force that these two officers should tender their resignation to the ‘commission through the secreâ€" tary of the police commissin ,by three this afternoon, February 27, 1946. _ "In the case of Sergeant Gariepy, it is true he been in a very awkward position, but the commission do not fel that any man who has admitted getting a conviction on untrue eviâ€" dence, should be on the force, and the commission feel they would be very lax and lacking in their duty, to tolerâ€" ate any such things, He will also be asked to tender his resignation by three o‘clock, to commission through the secretary of the police commission.
