His temples were the forerunners of our hospitals and sanitoria, for it was here, in addition to wor- ship, that the earliest forms of medical and institutional care were born. Gradually this staff became identified with the science of healing. Later it changed into a wand, the wand of the God Hermes, the Messenger. The Canadian Cancer Society, by assuming this symbol, the Ca- duceus, carries not only the Staff of Healing, the Wand of Good News, but also the Sword of At- tack. Delegates adhered to a close schedule of lectures and work- shop meetings, filling every mo- ment of time at their disposal to prepare themselves for a dedicat- ed campaign to acquaint the pub- lic by press, radio and television with the Society’s campaign of gladness â€" pointing the public to hope . . . and life . . . not to grimness and sadness.

Ziegler of Langstaff skid- ded off the highway and struck a hydro pole on Yonge St. at the Gamble sideroad at approximately 9 p.m. last Saturday night, the pole was completely demolished and the nearby districts of Elgin Mills - Jefferson were plung- ed into darkness for half an hour.
