For example petrie dishes and test tubes which used to cost one major laboratory $33,000 a year, this year will cost more than $75,000; while radioactive material, once $35,000. now tops the $100,000 mark‘ On the other hand, it has been proven research is paying off. In the 19505 about 43 percent of breast cancer patients survived five years â€" now it ranges between 55 and 60 per cent. For cancer of the prostate, the use of drugs in the cancer program has improved the sur- vival rate from 30 per cent to more than 50 per cent. Nearly 100 per cent of skin cancer is now curable. In the 1975 campaign the Richmond Hill unit raised more than $40,000. The objective this year, says campaign secretary Mary Follows of Paliser Cres.. is to top the $41,000 mark. “The entire emphasis of the 1976 fund-raising and education campaign is on action,” says campaign chairman Diane Fulton, “The ac- tion of protecting oneself against cancer; the ac- tion of protecting others Vitamin A easy to get Early in this century, the identification of vitamin A marked a major step in the history of nutrition. However, even though a great deal of research centred on vitamin A, a lack of it in the North American die has never been a subject of particular concern. This is understandable when we consider that vitamin A is distributed in a great range of foods available in Canada â€" and provided one eats a variety of foodstuffs, getting your quota of vitamin A shouldn't be too difficult. Vitamin A is one of the fat soluble vitamins that can be stored in the body â€" therefore. on the day you eat liver (if you do eat liver), you will consume three to five times the amount of vitamin A requirement and the body will store some of this surplus. Vitamin A is essential for growth and vision and helps assure resistance to infection. The first sign of a deficiency in vitamin A is characterized by an impaired vision in darkness called night blindness.

HEADFORD â€" The women of the centuryâ€"old Headford United Church on Leslie St. in Richmond Hill are hoping to raise enough money at their spring bazaar to put a new roof on the building. Last year the UCW, a small but very active group. brought in enough to pay for redecorating the inside of the quaint old church on the hill, south of Markham Rd., and the men of the congregation helped with the work. The bazaar and bake sale is to take place in Victoria Square com- munity hall, 18th Avenue and Woodbine, April 1.0 from 2 to 4 pm. Worship service and Sunday School are held at 10 am. each Sunday at He'adford. The minister is Rev. Victor Shepherd. who is also responsible for the Victoria Square church. WILLOWDALE â€" Finch Avenue East Public School is celebrating its 25th an; niversary with a reunion May 1. The organizers are anxious to contact as many former students and teachers as possible to invite them to the open house from 1 to 4 pm. and the dance from 7 to 11 pm. that day. Anyone who has any old snapshots, crests, souvenirs, or the names and addresses of former students and teachers is asked to contact Mrs. Carole Brandt of the reunion- committee, 323 Byng Ave., Willowdale, 225-2714 or to get in touch directly with the school. Plan reunion Studies made by the Nutrition Research Division of the Food and Drug Directorate in the late 19605 indicated that some Canadians have insufficient reserves of vitamin A. The cause is not known, but it suggests a need for improved nutrition. Butter. whole milk, fruits and vegetables eaten in the quantity recommended in Canada's Food Guide would provide the daily requirement of vitamin A. For health reasons, many Canadians are using butter subsiitutes and skimmed or partly- skimmed milk. If the label shows that these items have been fortified with vitamin A, there‘s no need to worry about a lack of the vitamin. anne wanstall Two servings of both fruits and vegetables are a daily must.
