Drs. Bunker a d Swales have been specializing in their field since graduatidn five years ago. Their ’new studies will take them to The committee administering the Fund is comprised of citizens and busi- nessmen â€" most of them close person- al friends and associates of Mr. Saun- ders. Their suggestion has received the kind consent of Mrs. Saunders, and members of the Committee are devot- ing a great deal of time‘ and energy to this worthy objective. It has been announced that all contributions will be directed entirely to the Memorial. Expenses incidental to the Fund-rais- ing campaign will be borne by private citizens anxious to assist in any way possible. Contributions in excess of Possibility of permitting deer hunting with bow and arrow in some parts of Southern Ontario is under con- sideration by the Department of Lands and Forests. The Department for some time has been studying the situation with regard to bow and arrow hunting across the border in such states as New Jersey and Michigan. Hunting by archers is not prohibited in Ontario but they have no special privileges. The Ontario Field Archers Assoc- iation has long advocated some special consideration such as the setting aside of a large area for exclu'sive use by ar- chers, as well as a special season. Ag- reement by farmers however. would play an important part in any decision. The Canadian Cancer Society has announced the award of McEachern Fellowships of $3,650 each to two Tor- onto doctors, Dr. M. L. Bunker and Dr. Lawrence Swales. It has been proposed that the Me- morial be erected on a traffic island on Toronto's University Avenue opposite Ontario Hydro’s head office building. Plans call for the design and develop- ment of a rose garden and fountain in a beautified area with the underlying theme to be light and water. Initial response to the Robert Hood Saunders Memorial Fund, from all parts of the Province, has been de- scribed by the official committee as “extremely gratifying". Established to receive contributions towards a per- manent Memorial to thelate Hydro Chairman who died following an air tragedy on January 16, the Fund has already aroused widespread interest and many citizens have come forward to pledge their support. During the 15 years of its exist- ence, the Ontario Neighborly News commentators have scanned more than 150,000 copies of the English-language weeklies of Ontario and Quebec, and have read on the air more than 30,000 items totalling some million-and-a-half words.

The McEachern Fellowships of the Cancer Society were set up in memory of the late Dr. John McEachern of Calâ€" gary, founder of the Society and are for the purpose of enabling young physicians and surgeons to complete training in their specialty with special emphasis on the clinical aspects of can- cer. To date over 30 awards have been made for this purpose. It is anticipa‘ced that Dr. Bunker and Dr. Swales will return to take up positions at Toronto teaching hospitals. Dr. C. H. D. Clarke, of the Fish and Wildlife Division, says that one deer is killed about every other day on the highways of heavily populated Southern Ontario. Indicative of the co-operation be- ing received, the committee has an- nounced that the Honourable J. J. Mc- Cann, Federal Minister of Revenue, has declared that contributions to the Fund will be tax-free because the Memorial is, in effect, a gift to the Metropolitan area, To expedite plans for the Mem- orial, an architect’s sketch is now be- ing prepared and will be available with. in a few days. Frederick G. Gardiner, Chairman of .the Toronto Metropolitan Council, and His Worship Mayor Nath< an Phillips of Toronto have already ag- reed to the proposed Memorial plans and have promised \to expedite ar- rangements from property standpoint. Such accidents involve damage to cars and injury to drivers and passen- gers. Farmers in Southern Ontario have opposed gun hunting but are thought to be more favourable to bow and arrow as a safer means of reducing the number of deer and the damage they cause. The question probably will come before the Legislative As- sembly’s Fish and Game Committee in March. such famed centres as Stockholm, Am- sterdam, London, Newcastle and Man- chester where they will stay eight: months.

Following the committee's first formal meeting on January 19, it was announced that the first donation of $2.00 was received from a female elevator operator in a downtown Toronto office building.

CBC personnel have travelled more than 5,000 miles during the 15 years to produce the regular Sunday morning broadcast from 25 communities, as a special salute mark- ing “Old Home Week” or some other local celebration. The fact that city- dwellers like the program as much as those who live in the smaller centres is proven by surveys -â€" Neighborly News in Ontario has a larger audience than any other program on the air at its time of broadcast. CBC'S Reid Forsee will produce the special anniversary program, and Don Fairbairn will act as host. Forsee has been with Neighborly News since it be- gan, starting out as its announcer and later becoming its producer, a post he still holds. Fairbairn took over as commentator seven years ago, after the death of the well-loved Andy Clarke who through his association with the program was dubbed “the mayor of the little places". The anniversary program will be heard across Canada at 6.30 pm. EST. Marks 50th. Anniversary ALVERNA SMITH, Assooiate Editor The stary of the cow jumping over the moon 'was exaggerated.

If one does try to avoid danger and difficulty. disaster is sure to follow. In Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan tells of Mr. Timidity who was always trying to avoid taking any kind of risks.

The ships were being refuelled beâ€" fore proceeding elsewhere. Un- expectedly a storm arose, and its fury was such that the‘ naval ships chafed and fretted at their moorings. chains were snapped and in a few hours a great deal of damage was done. The hurricane came from the east and for a short time it looked as if the vessels would be dashed against the rocks. "There is only one thing to do." said the commander, “we must put out to sea and face the storm.” So the ships faced the hurricane and found safety by doing what at first seemed a foolhardy thing.

Several years ago, an Eng- lishman who had lived for many years on the island of Samoa, where Robert Louis Stevenson made his home, told me that the climate was so pleasant and the soil so fertil’e that the natives were enervat- ed and became listless. He had a lot of respect for the natives but the sterner virtues, such as reliability and initiative were lacking. The Samoan langu- age had no words. such as grit. handicap, courage, and dlfiicul< ty. Life came easy and they had no need for these words. On the other hand it is well- known that in severe climates, such as Scandinavia and Fin- land, the rugged life makes characters sturdy and enter- prising. So struggle has its place in the development of worth-while men and women. Mrs. W. E. Groves addressed a joint meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Home and School Association and the Women's Institute on Tuesday night. 1}}? F \fifimmfifis/EL?

JOSEPHINE ELE Braver men than these, how- ever, spoke up and urged a for- ward movement, such men as Joshua and Caleb. So the Is- raelites entered the land and possessed it. And just here is an interesting thing; nothing was ever seen or heard of any gia ts. No doubt there were some tall men there, but their size was greatly exaggerated. In the eyes of the timid spies fear magnified difficulties. They were fearful with nothing to be afraid of. Joshua, like the British Commander. knew that the way out of danger was to face and conquer it. There is truth in this old verse by Aaron Hill: Tender handed stroke a nettle. And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains. Our quotation today is by Frank Crane: “If ev- ery man were a million- aire the world would speedin go to the devil. The fact that most peop- le need to struggle keeps the world sound and sane."

Severe bleeding must be stopped and it is always wise to treat for shock. Treating a per- son for shock requires that he be kept warm and quiet. Warm drinks such as tea or coffee may be given only if there is no in- dication of internal injury. Signs of shock are pallor, clammy skin. shallow breathing and much sighing, The patient should be wrapped in blankets, lying with the head somewhat lower than the rest of the body.
