Following a business session and planning for 41112 annual anniversary party to be held May 23. the members joined their guests in the main hail of the community centre where on behalf of the Educ- ation Division, Canadian Can- cer Society â€" the film “Time and Two Women" was shown. Twice a year these boys hold their bottle drive and realize approximately $180.00 profit. each time. to assist in carrying on their Scouting activities. So you see a ,mail effort on your part is a most rewarding one for them. “Time Ind Two Women” Film Campaign chairman for Maple Branch. Eleanor Hamilton, in- troduced t-he film which con- cerned the case history of two women â€"- one who because of her regular medical checkup. was able to 01052 her file with “Cured”.when a uterine can- cer was discovered and treated in time. The second women‘s case history was spasmodic check ups over 1 long period of time so that when uterine cancer was finally discovered â€"-it had too great a foothold to be cured. The necessity oi’ frequent and regular check up: with your family doctor was forcefully brought to the attention of all those present. If this is done then over a fairly short period of years â€" this form of decease 1in women will no longer be a leading cause of death. It is nearly 100 per cent curable IF found early and promptly treated. Dr. L. A. Belch of Toronto Western Hospital was a most gracious and knowledgeable guest. It was indeed obvious that he was prepared and capable of answering any and all the ques- tions put to him following the showing of the film. He in turn had some-what to add through his own experience as a gynae- cologist and emphasized that through education and study of just such films as “Time and Two Women". the fear of the unknown can be replaced with a common sense knowledge that it is up to each woman to have a regular check up with her doctor. thereby the detection of the first. signs of this type of cancer can be spotted and treated â€"â€" and pronounced A CURE. Following the question and answer period. refreshments were served. Holiday Guests Over the Easter Vacation Di‘a-nne McConkey enjoyed the company of her house guest, Maureen Morrison from Toron- to.

(e up THE LIBERAL ’olngd (and Richumn JOHN ADDISON Your Vote Will Help JOHN ADDISON. Liberal candidate in the federal con- stituency of York North . . . your rldlnx . . . ll seen here discussing the commuter problem with Harold Blackwell. whose engine could haul many of York North‘s dull! commuters to work in commuter trains to serve I new or: in transportation. The role which the railways could play in im- proving commuter facilities has many precedents. Montreal, for example, is served by excellent and frequent commuting trains during rush hours in many residential places outside the city. In the full sense, Toronto has one commuting rout: only â€"â€" Oakville to Toronto. To find better homes and better living con- ditions for themselves and their families, thous- ands of people in recent years have come to live in this constituency of York North which is the area north of No. 7 Highway and south of Lake Simcoe, and from Nashville on the west to Mount Albert on the east. A very large proportion of these residents travel long distances to work daily. YORK NORTH Commuters, . Let's Get ack On The Rails Public authorities have until now given little attention to the cost and inconvenience this means to the commuter. In a bursting metropolitan area, government assistance is necessary to bring about solutions because many different munici- palities are involved. A federal government, which controls railways in Canada, can begin by developing plans for low-cost rail transportation, where feasible. for quick and better means of travelling from home to work and back. It can co-operate with provincial and local authorities for more direct routes and extension of better roads and bus facilities. John Addison. a. King Township commuter himself, is seriously concerned about this import- ant aspect of modern living. If you choose him as York North‘s representative in Ottawa he will make commuting improvements 3 high priority policy. Will he received by the undersigned until Wednesday.
