Annual Report To Council Staff changes in 1954 included the addition of Mr. C. Whetters as Stock and Time Keeper.

When a child complains of ear- ache medical attention should be obtained since serious trouble may be indicated. especially if there is feverishness.

So far this w_inter_ slippery roads have presented more of a problem than snow re- moval. About 1,200 tons of sand have been spread on the roads Eince the beginning of Decem- er. Projects completed by the Road Department over the pas» year included the reâ€"buildin" nf a mile of road. while an addit- ional 4% miles were re-ditched on both sides. Another project was improving the Proctor Ave. hill. The road committee, which is the committee responsible for the administration of the road department, held 12 meetings in 1954. During the spring the road committee accompanied by other members of Council spent three days inspecting township roads. Projects planned for the com- ing summer include the erection of street signs naming concess- ion roads along No. 7 Highway and the north-south town lines. Some jobs which were con- tracted out were the construc- tion of 700 feet of storm drain at Unionville, the construction of 500 feet of sidewalk at Thorn- hill, and the asphalt resurfacing of Ruggles Ave., Essex Ave., Sussex Ave., and two sections of Kennedy road. 7 Prior to the arrival of Hurri- cane Hazel 24,998 tons of gravel were placed on the township roads at a total cost of $20,810. Since that date an additional 22,- 621 tons have been used, but most of this was used to repair flood damage. Patching operations during the past year costr$1§3,51AS._0_0. A successful weed control DI‘Oâ€" gram consisted in spraying nine- ty per cent of the road sides with weed killer and cutting as much as possible. In the matter of road and driveway culverts a total of 119 driveway culverts and 30 road culverts were installed. Cancer of the tongue, for ex- ample, is relatively frequent in certain parts of India, cancer of the liver occurs commonly in Africa and Indonesia, and the Chinese are particularly prone to develop cancer of the gullet or esophagus. On the other hand cancer of the stomach is seldom to be found amongst African ne- groes, the Javanese and the na- tives of French North Africa. Some 25 years ago the Depart- ment of Indian Affairs in Ottawa considered cancer to be a very rare disease among the Indian population but, as the years have gone by, medical services for our Indians have greatly improved and more complete data from ac- Just why these differences ex- ist we do not know but great in- terest is being shown in this subâ€" ject because it is felt that nature, in this vast experiment has hid- den away important clues about the cause of cancer. In Canada our Indian and E5- kimo populations present an un- ique opportunity for study in this field, and the National Cancer Institute has recently published its findings on the first of these two groups. Cancer. so far as we know. oc- curs in all parts of the world but among certain races and in cer- tain districts some types of can- cer are more. or less common than in others. Cancer More PrevalentAmongCertain Races And In Certain Districts AT REGULAR PRICES MEN’S 8: BOYS’ WEAR In this period 327 cases of cancer were reported. 125 in males and 202 in females. Making due allowance for differences in the average age of Indians and Whites this total number of cas- es is somewhat less than would be expected for a corresponding group of white people in Canada but the difference may well be explained by inacuurate report- ing of causes of death in the older Indian age groups. In Indian men, as in white Canadian men. cancer of the sto. mach and bowel is most frequent. A surprising finding of the study however, is that cancer of the neck of the womb is apparently very high among Indian women. It accounts for 40% of all can- cer in Indian women suggesting that it is several times as com- mon as in white females. More- over. it has a tendency to occur earlier in life. The explanation for the high incidence of cancer of the cer- vix of the uterus is not known. Possible factors may be the high birth rate among Indians and the limited post-natal care available to them. In any case, the De- partment of Indian Affairs has already taken an interest in the problem. Doctors in the Indian service have been made aware ross Canrr’" Have become avail- ab1_er for study. - At the of the first settle- ments in North America. four centuries ago, there were about 200,000 Indians in what is now Canada. Then followed a de- cline in their numbers and it was common belief that they were a dying race. In the last half cen- tury however. there has been a steady increase and today the In- dian population is increasing at a rate of 1.5% each year. A census taken in 1949 showed their present number to be al- most 150,000. When an Indian receives medi- cal care a record of his case goes forward to the National office of the Indian Health Service. This record gives the patient’s age, sex. diagnosis, the number of days stay in hospital and so on. The medical records of all Canadian Indians were reviewed for the five year period of 1948-1952 and detailed information on the cancer cases was obtained from 48 hospitals. ‘WHITE CHRISTMAS’ “ON THE WATER FRONT” Adult Entertainment UXY THEATR mnmm THURS., FRI., SAT., Jan. 13, 14, 15 GIANT THRILL AND .

It is hoped that in this way the earlier diagnosis of cases will be facilitated. Another point of interest aris- ing from the study is that cancer of the skin occurs less frequent- ly than among our white popu- lation. It is possible that the skin pigmentation of Indians acts as a protection against skin cancer in the same way as for the black race. It is not so easy to obtain fig- ures about cancer in our Canad- ian Eskimo, but an effort is pres- ently being made to do so. There gre about _7.500 Eskimos living in our northern parts but many of these live far from civiliza- tion and details of illness and causes of death are difficult to obtain.
