Because science and research had not come up with the answer as to the cause or the cure for cancer as yet, we must think back to just these last few years when typhoid and tuberculosis etc.. have been con- trolled and the doctors may now feel that the cause of these di- seases are now known and to a great extent the cure has been realized. With the passing of each day, month and year the scourge becomes less serious to our child- ren and grand-children. Empasizing that it is the ‘un- known’ that is frightening, she said that through sqchgroups as the Canadian Cancer Society and men and women devoted to medicine, science and research, our people will become better ed- ucated and early diagnosis will be promoted so as to find the or- igin more quickly.

Each year sees an increase in this number, just as each year the services themselves improve as a result of constant research. Andy is rather proud of the fact that the first person to use the as- sociation’s services was his bro- ther Paul on June 3, 1945. Andy still ‘has the record of this trans- action. Jim and Bill Darlington came home from the Ontario Agricul- tural College in Guelph to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with their parents. these past twelve years. We were curious to know some- thing about this organization which is of such vital im- lportance to some 15,000 farmers whose properties stretch away to Fort William on the north-west, Peterborough County on the east, Halton County on the west and to Lake Ontario on the south. . Besides wanting to satisfy our own curiosity. it struck us that the thousands of newer residents in Vaugh- an and Markham Townships would be interested in know- ing something about this organization which is a co-operâ€" ative service centre for breeders of cattle, and employs a staff of 62. {ager 101‘ the Central Ontario Cattle Breeders’ Association | There’s quite a bit of paper Iwork involved, Andy said. Ev- ery speciman is carefully coded and' entered into record books. Every precaution is taken to pre- vent loss of these records when the specimens are in transit to Guelph where they are frozen for storage and future use. Andy told us that a specimen will keep for years granted normal care is taken. And while the great majority of specimens are sold among farmers in Central Ontar- io, some go to other provinces and even overseas. Each of the more than 15,000 members pay a nominal five-dol- larjee which is good for life, and set fees for semen. Basically the association is designed for com- mercial breeders but now it also does work with specialist breed- ers and has special services for private breeders. The association was organized in 1945 with about 250 members participating. “Originally it was set up to service farmers in a 10-mile radius of Maple,” said Andy. A few years later the suc- cess of the service was sufficient for the executive to think about reorganizing and on January 1, 1957 the Central Ontario Cattle Breeders’ Association replaced the original district association. Andy's tenureship began in April, 1948. Andy told us this fiscal year the association will have done a $900,000.00 business. “We will have artificially inseminated 100,000 cattle,” he said. This number, incidentally, includes two of the four cattle at the mo- del farm on Toronto Island.
