President Perkins apoloâ€" gized for having to leave meeting early. but before he de- parted he called for and received the unanimous appointment of a vice president to replace Mrs. Henderson of Maple â€"â€" in the person of Mrs. McCreight of Stouffville. who is an indefati‘l- able worker in the Cancer Soc- iety. ‘ As chairman. of District 12 Mrs. Purves gave the area renori stating it stretches frotn “Lake Simcoc to Hamilton Bay." She reported that four new units came into being in 1959-60: Maplewood.

On motion of the chairman a letter of sym- pathy to the family of the late Wills Maclachlan of Maple will be sent. The late Mr. Maclacntan was a fortner president of the Maple Branch andgall who knew him said it was a privilege to be associated with him. Stating that “The Canadian Can- cer Research program is on a (By Mrs. R. Stuart) “Safety on Canada’s Farms" was the topic discussed by On- tario Forums. The broadcast had a dramatization pointing out some of the accident hazards on the farms and how people igâ€" nore them. followed by a panel discussion outlining the results of recent safety surveys and pointing to the way to future action. The forums were asked to answer two questions: first. what can be done by your forum and community to cut down the farm accident rate? What kind of program would you recom- mcnd to reach everyone? And, second. what organized action should be taken provincially and nationally to reduce farm dcnts'.’ Would a National Farm Safety Council be of help'.‘ Literally hundreds of various ways in which farm accidents might be reduced were suggest- ed. Three ranged from slogans and posters through the whale field of education to the prac- tical elimination of hazards sttch I asked the i‘ l lcssness. acci-i par or slightly better than else- where in the World," and that. “it‘s up to the laymen to ac- cept on faith that there are peoâ€" ple working in cancer research. and studying such infinitesimally small items as a living cell (there are three million blood cells in a .easpoonful of blood! â€" with the money collected by volun- teer canvassers during April, campaign month.” Mr. Grimes that laymen would not jump to false conclusions that ‘cures’ had been discovered. ifâ€" ter reading a press release â€" on- ly to have the hopes dashed as weeks turned to months and months to years. with apparently no further communication being put forth on the said ‘cure.’ It takes 10 years before such a pro- nouncement tnay be definitely made.” Mr. Grimes stated. “and research studies of many com- plex phases of cancer are being made all the time." “It is wrong to create the thought that a cttrc is just a- round the corner." Mr. Grimcs declared. and he added that the work of the Cancer Society in educating the public and “sup- plying hope not fear about cancer through knowledge" is the important role of the cancer volunteer.

Mrs. Zuefclt urged that tho<c present and their friends should see the film for women only be- ing shown at the Richmond Hill Theatre on Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Zuefcli, who is a past-president of the Richmond llill Unit gladly testi- fied that this was her own per- sonal formula.

Price County Night" The Queen York Rangers Celebrate In a colorful recent ceremony the Annual “York County Night” was celebrated in the Aurora Ar- moury by The Queens York Ran- gers, lst American Regiment. At the opening of each session of the County Council, by tradi- tional ceremony the Regiment participates and Council accepts the Regimental colors which are then held in the Council cham- bers until restored to the Queens York Rangers at the annual “York County Night." Inspected by Warden The Regiment was inspected by County Warden William Clarke. Reeve of Markham Townâ€" ship and Colonel Daizis addressed the regiment. Following the ad- dress, inspection and return of the colors, all present enjoyed a pleasant social evening with sandwiches and refreshments be- ing served. Richmond Hill & District About sixty per cent of the membership of the Rangers today come from the Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham area and the men are very proud of their regi- ‘nnt which has a colorful history dating back over the past two hundred years. It was in 1736 in the USA. that Colonist R0- bert Rogers was commissioned Captain and raised the Queen's Rangers for scouting duties with British regulars during the se- ven years war. With Wolf In 1759 the Rangers fought with General Wolfe at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham when Britain finally captured Canada. In 1776 Rogers was promoted Colonel and used the Rangers to assist Britain during the Ameri- can Revolution. Battle Of Brandywine The next year in l777. the Rangers turned the tide for Bri- tain at the Battle of Bt‘andeine. Later that you “him John Sim- coc succeeded Colonel Rogers 3: Commanding Officer.

There was overwhelming sup- port from Ontario forums for a National Farm Safety Council which could co-ordinate surveys and then direct action through provincial and municipal Safety Councils. Said the Edgcicy Farm: Forum. "The l‘rOvincc of Ontario is now taking organi7cd action. If cacti province had a program. a Na‘ional Safety Council could and should be or~ ganizcd.“ A very small posed the idea because they felt as blind railway crossings and highway entrances. said the Ed:- clcy Farm Fortitn. meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. “0n Highway 400 and Steeles Avenue. there has been erected recently a sign that will block the view of motorists com- ing from the west so they canl not see traffic coming from the North. this sign belongs to Metrol yet it is on Vaughan 'l‘.v.','n:ltin side."
