Active Year Reported At Cancer Society Meeting
Another successful year for the P. E. I. Division of the Canadian Cancer Society was outlined in the President's report given at the annual meeting in Charlotte- town last night by Dr. W. J. P. MacMiilan, 0.B.E., president since the Division was organized in 1937.
Dr. MacMillan presided and the minutes and financial statement were read by the honorary sec- reiary, Mr. Ralph M. Jones.
The president paid a special tribute to Mr. W. H. Beaton, City Campaign Chairman, and other volunteer campaign workers. Mr. Beaton in turn gave credit to the city "special names" chairman, Mr. Ralph M. Jones, who with his workers, were a major factor in the success of the campaign for funds.
The following officers were elected:

"A sincere attempt is being made to acquaint our people with the importance of early,dlagnosia and stress is being laid upon for symptoms which, if noticed by any one of us, should mean a visit to our doctor for his opinion: 1. A lump in the breast; 2, Unnatural bleeding from any body opening; 3. Any sore of the skin or mouth which will not heal; 4. A persist- ent change in bowel habit such as diarrhoea or constipation.
"Any of these symptom can be indicative of one of the common forms of cancer which can be ef- fectively treated. Cancer of the breast, the uterus, the skin and mouth and of the bowel represent a challenge in early diagnosis. Vlflth adequate treatment in the early stages of these forms of the disease we know that there is much greater hope for cure.
"Any other facts which the lay public may learn in one way or another about cancer are of no measurable value to the Provlncc's health. If. however, the individual through his own interest. wishes to delve more deeply into the subject of cancer as a disease and the problems associated with finding the cause and the cure, there is nothing on earth to pre- vent his doing so. It is not the function of the Canadian Cancer society, however. to educate our people in the many complexities associated with diagnosis. treat- ment and research. Such matters lie in the realm of professional, not lay education.
"In this Province I am especi- ally proud of the grand education-

Pr-osldeni's Report
Following is the text of the re- port submitted by the president, Dr. W. J. P. MacMiilan:
"The encouragement of an in- telligent interest in any aspect of health or disease is justifiable if one has reason to believe that as a result of interest and knowledge there will accrue to our people better health and greater freedom from disease. The acceptance by our people of the importance of certain health matters has, over the past 36 years, contributed in- creasingly to such benefits.
”Vaccinat.lon against smallpox and inoculation for communicable diseases such as diphtheria have eradicated the first of these and brought the second under satis- factory control. The pasteurization of milk and tuberculin testing of cattle have given our children a freedom from the threat of milk- borne tuberculosis that we our- selves did not enjoy a quarter of a century ago. These are only a few of the steps in medical pro- gress whicn we have taken in our life-time. Without public health education such progress could not be made.
''If we create an intelligent in- terut. in cancer at least two ben- efits to our people may be ex- pected. First the enlcacy of our present treatment methods might be enhanced. which is to say that a greater number of people might be cured of cancer if they were to receive treatment. in the earliest stages of the disease, rather than when it had extended beyond hope of cure.
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Bernard and daughter Mary of Charlotte- town, spent Christmaa at Darling- ton at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Rennie.
New League Al (Irapaud
Hockey clubs from Breadalbanc. New Haven. Albany. Mount Tryon. and Crspaud, met in Crapaud rink last evening and formed an inter- madiato "C" League with Lloyd Waddell as president; Kenneth Mac1.ean. vice president; and Don- ald Hart, secty-tl'ea.surcr.
Rules, regulations. and schedules were drawn up with the first game starting on Monday evening if weather permits.
al job we have done in connec- tlon with cancer. This program has been most successful. in fact it is a model for many of the other divisions of the Society, but more important it has brought results. When we started it was not unusual for patients to con- sult a Doctor after having had cancer for several years, whereas. it is not uncommon today to find persons visiting their physician in a matter of days, or hours, after noticing cancer symptoms. This is quite an accomplishment in the battle against cancer, because the more common types of cancer can be cured, in the majority of cases. if detected in time.
Cancer Research in Canada is the greatest in the conquest of a single disease and so far consider- ably over one million dollars has been spent on over 70 separate Cancer Research projects in dif- ferent provinces. Teh P.E.I. Div- ision has contributed its propor- tionate share to,the Cancer Re- search programme.-
"We have also contributed to the Allan Blair and Maclllachern fellowships for Doctors.
"Besides a contribution to the local Cancer Diagnostic Tissue ser- vice we sent. three Doctors away for special Refresher Courses in New York. ,
"I wish to thank our very cap- able and energetic Campaign Chairmen and volunteer canvass- era for their work in making our campaign such a splendid success.
"To the members of the Press and Radio, I offer a speclai "thank you". They have been a large factor in our success.
"To the public generally for their continued co-operation we are deeply grateful."

On Monday night Major Nichol- son received a telephone call ask- ing if he could come to an import- ant meeting at the Canadian Leg- ion I-Iome. He was surprised on ar- rival to be the guest of the P, E. 1. Branch of the War Amputatlons of Canada. A pleasant ceremony. when Major "lcholson was present- ed with a farewell gift, was follow- ed by an evening of games and en- tertainrnent.
Tuesday night the Major was again the guest of honor when he was waited on by the entire staff of his department and presented with an address and a presentat- ion. Various outstanding features of his local tenure of office were recalled as the staff wished him the best of luck in his new job.

Held Carnival Last Night
A large number of interested spectators thoroughly enjoyed a revival of old time Camlval fest- ivities at the Forum last night car- ried out with a view to providing fun and frolic to both young and old. Costume skaters alone were permitted on the ice during the first half of the evening after which general akatng was enjoyed by all present who cared to do so.
Costume judging required con- siderable care and consideration owing to the close competition. The decisions were as follows: Best costume. adult, 1. Robert Jewell. uncle sun; 2. Jack Keenan, Robin Hood: 3. Ruth Gardner, Miss P. E. Island. Comedy 005t1lmE. 1- Rilll vickerson. Stork; 2. Jack stock- man, Skeleton; 3. Bob Mills Bozo.

Considerable merriment. was caused when first prize for boys was awarded to Margaret White who appeared as "The Cat". Sec- ond went to Jack Kennedy as Baseball Player and third to Doug Berrlgan as Baggy Pants. The door prize was won by Jean Mccregor.
The unqualified success of the Carnival will probably result in a repeat performance early in the new year.
with the passing of the year 1963, we look back to see what our C accomplishments, if any, have been.
Early in the Spring, we under- took the landscaping of the Hills- boro Square and the Connaught Square. and it is felt that a big improvement has been brought a- bout by the laying of asphalt walks and the grading and grasaing of these squares.
Our next undertaking was the laying of concrete sidewalks, which was done under contract with M. F. Schurman Co. Ltd. A total of 2y, miles of sidewalk all fe wide was put down.
The year also saw the comple- tion of the contract with the Warren Paving Company for the rehabilitation of our streets.
Then, in many of our residential areas, a new type of street for our City was tried out, namely, that of chip scaling is rolled gravel surface. A distance of approxim- ately two miles of this type of street was laid. We feel that this
