' doctor before the cancer -‘ ‘ ,. to e dangerous stage. Dr. MacMillan referred to the cancer clinics to be established in Charlottetovm and Summerside where laboratory, medical, x-ray and surgical diagnosis of cases might be made with minimum de- lay. l-le regarded the Cancer Campaign as one of the most kn- portant drives ever carried on in the Province. He expressed him- self as delighted to ree so many workers voluntarily giving ‘of their time in the great cause. Dr. livlhclvlillan recalled his ae- soclation with the first Cancer Campaign before the war and the generous response of the public on that occasion. During the war it was necessary to call s, halt to this important work, but now in these post-war years there was a rc-slwairening of interest to alleviate k an suffering salve lives from the cancer men- ace. flius far ' the medical profes- lion depended upon surgery, ir-ray therapy and radium, the speaker said, and there was no known cure for the disease. Everyone should help fight cen- cer because no one is immune from cancer. ‘Iliiere is an urgent need to study cancer. ‘flhe danger signals of cancer must be pre- sented to everyone over and over again. This campaign will enable us to carry on the fight for the next twelve months.

At present, they may average income on a hhrce-ycar-basis. The pus-pose of this arrangement has been to level out fluctuations in income so that they would not suffer if a good year were followed by a poor one. Besides lengthening the period for averaging, Mr. Abbott said, thc government's new plan will be simpler than the existing one, \vhich he described as possibly "too complex." The new scheme will be included in amendments to the income tair act. to be brought down shortly. YOU GET 2 E_XT_AB>A POUNDS OF may F l. O U l? BECAUSE WE PACK OURS lOO lBS. TO THE BAG... NOT 981.85.

With the planking. military vehicles 001114136 driven on and off the vessel with the maximum of efficiency. - When the ‘Abegweit’ was built, use of the rail deck for commercial trucks was not fully consider-sq, with the result that very heavy Vehivlfis of 10 tons and over could not make use of the ramps. These, lb l5 understood, will be adgqugtgly strengthened. Fully Supported Mr. MacNaught told The Guard. ian, subsequent to Mr. Chevriai-‘a statement in hhe Commons today. that he had been fully supported in his efforts to have the rail deck of the ‘Abegweit’ plunked, by Dr. T. V. Grant, Liberal member .' 1., for King's and James Lester Douglas, Liberal member for Queen's. (W. Chester B. McUu-e, Progressive Conservative member for Queen's has also urged on iihe floor of the House that planking be installed on the rail deck of the vessel). "r have a file of papers. briefs. letters, telegrams and notes of long-distance telephone conversat- ions on this subject at least four inches thick and have been putting on pressure to have the job done since the beginning of the year," Mr. MacNaught said. "One of the principal briefs on the subject; comes from the Summerside Board of Trade. And there are scores of letters frccn shippers, truckers. fisli dealers and a large number 0d potato dealer's and shippers. “Owing to thcso representations.

Jiowever, the Prime Minister made no direct allusion to the present dissatisfaction among the Provincial Governments. which include all except Ontario and Quebec. He gave no intimation today on the Government's next move, but some observers thought it would be followed by an announcement of a widening of the Board's terms of reference in its investigation. Other Changes Rumored It also has been rumored here that there would be further changes in the six-man board's personnel, but without confirme- tion. The other commissioners now are Assistant Chief Com- miesioner Hugh Werdrope. Dep- uty C ief Cornmimioner Annarid Qlws e, and Csomiissionevrs J.A. Btondnan, PM. MacPhorson and 0A. Stone.

And these losses in perishable goods occurred not only at Borden but at Tormentine as well. satisfactory Compromise "I feel that the hardwood plank- ing covered with a. new type of fire-resistant paint surfacing is a happy compromise in view of the desirability of the ‘Abegwelt’ re- turning to lier regular run for the tourist season," the member for Prince continued. "1’ am informed that next year, authorities feel that. steel for the planking of the rail deck will be available more readily than it is at the present time. "It seems surprising that. any obiections would be raised to puttini: in the steel planking at the present Frno, but my mien-nation is to the effect that sheet steel of the type needed for such a floor ls in tight supply and that even the nuantity required for the car ferry would result in a severe drain on domestic reserves. With ample advance notice, I think there will be no trouble about havlnl the steel deck installed in 1949.” HOLY VESSEL A lever was. tn the tabernacle of the Jews. a vessel of brass used by priests at the time of sacri- ~- iice for cleansing Pillpoles. ‘.-~.‘ _ .._ _._. __.. .. . .. _._<..___.._,__,§n_:. .__,__ _ _ ,___
