WOODSIDE ¢ General Manager Authorized as second class mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1958 ”” Chance to help cancer research Monday MONDAY night we are asked to fight cancer with a check-up and a cheque and that makes good sense to us. The cheque will enable the Can- adian Cancer Society and its British Columbia division to continue support- ing vital research work which is the only hope for a solution to the disease which annually kills more than 20,000 Canadians. . | . The check-up could very possibly save a life—your life—by uncovering cancer in the early stages when chances of successful treatment are greatest. The war against cancer is Avast project and every Canadian should be vitally interested in the con- . trol and disease, . . Cancer plays no favorites. It strikes the young and the old, the rich and poor, the weak and the strong. It kills’ more: children between the ages of five and 14 and more women be- tween the ages of 25 and 54 than any other disease. ultimate defeat of this tizenship is not the result of cidental combination of cir- mstances. It comes from training development. Leaders of the vol- community are not born. They are the product of programs that prodoce initiative and self reliance and teach obedience and co-operation. . ' One of the group activities in Prince Rupert dedicated to citizenship | and’ future leadership is the Prince Riipért Girl Guide association. It’s ~ high purpose is to develop loyalty, use- fulness to others, courtesy, cheerful- ness, thrift and purity of thought, word and deed. Many community eA OKING around us we can see ny disquiéting signs of patern- ‘not only our own country but he wlidle English-speaking world. « Men no longer expect to take care of their own worries. They no longer bargain with their bosses,. they no longer have to save money to buy the things they need, they rely upon pen- sions and insurance to look after sick- ness and old age, and they seldom choose their own entertainment, read- ing matter, or style of clothes, - , roday, in the modern world, every- thing is done for the modern young- ster, who seldom even has to make a decision. No small wonder that when confronted with terror, ill-treatment, hungei or any’of the primitive facts of life, his soul quails and he turns INTERPRETING THE NEWS t : British have hands full with Malta, Aden The National objective of the Can- adian Cancer Society this year is $2,- 484,000. The Prince Rupert branch of the Cancer society has a target of 53,000 as its part of the B.C. Division objective of $250,000. Biggest share of the money will go toward research. In the past few years, even small successes in research have saved thou- sands of lives through improved diag- nosis and treatment of the disease. The Cancer Society also needs funds for another vital phase of its program —education. oo Many lives can be saved if every member of our community is aware of the seven danger signals of cancer and is persuaded to seek early diagno- sis and proper treatment. There is hardly a person in Prince Rupert who does not know first hand of the trag- edies of cancer. Monday night we have the chance to do something about it. Give gener- ously when the volunteer canvasser calls. . _ Good citizenship deserves support leaders of today were the Girl Guides of yesterday. - To obtain funds for local projects the Girl Guides and Brownies sell cookies. This is their major project and it starts today and continues until May 9. Thus do the Guides and Brownies teach themselves self re- liance. The Guides and Brownies, one of each to a team, will conduct a house- to-house canvass throughout the city. They hope to sell 1,680 boxes of codk- ies. One third of the profits go to company and pack projects. The girls’ enterprise deserves support as does any cause which leads to better citi- zenship. 4 _ Generation going soft ©. _ toward whatever form of paternalism is offered. The only answer to this is tougher training, Training so tough that any form of paternalism will be scorned as the feather-bedding it obviously is. Paternalism did not get our men out of the Flanders mud to spit in the eye of their enemy. Nor did it open up the wide expanses of Canada, Aus- tralia and the United States, It is hard to get back to tougher times once luxury has been one’s por- tion, but it ean be done. If we are to survive the next war paternalism must be abandoned and youngsters taught to stand on their own two feet like men, —sault Ste.

This is doubtless the case with Mr. Diefenbaker today. He, must now be reviewing his whole Cabinet with a critical eye. But the whole of the present Cabinet, with only a couple of exceptions, was chosen from just over 50 Conservatives who were MPs before June 10, 1957. Now, with more than 200 Con- servative MPs there must. be a . much wider choice of Cabinct material. In ordinary circumstances | this would be the most criti- | cal decision facing Mr. Dief- . enbaker, who must realize that . the greatest possible brilliance » in a Prime Minister cannot | make up for second-rate min- isters. But in today’s condi- tions even the choice of min- isters is second rank priority. The problem which is even enbaker (and for Canada) is ! to get the whole machinery of |. government working more | smoothly. : Mr. Diefenbaker cannot af- | ford to let things eno en in Ottawa as they were before the election, when the Govern- ment was understandably act- ing on a hand-to-mouth basis. Now he has won his place in history as the best vote-getter Canada ever had.. But it is Now, in these next few months. that he will be showing how he can perform as head of the Government. \ As the present Cabinet pass- eee eccertnes tment item ee eee ener Aerology | From the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix According to a recent re- port from Washington, pub- lished in the New York Times, the Air University has pre- pared a “spatial lexicon,” a glossary of acro-space = terras that includes a new noun, ‘unobtainjum.” The = defini- tions follow: “Unobtainium is a substance that elther theor- etically cannot exist or eannot be produced bpcause technol- | ofy js Insuffielently advance- ed.” The glossary published by the’ Documentary Resenareh Institute at Maxwel) Alr Base, Alabama, adds in italics that the definition of unobtainiun Js humorous or tronic, This specialized vocabulary | covers terms from AAM (air- to-alr-missile) to Zilolkowski (varlant of Tslolkovsky).

He should be ruthless with those who continue to spread suspicion between ministers and civil servants. He should insist on an end to the pointless squabbles, dat- ing from before June 7, 1957.

That doesn't mean merely the repe- tition of election slogans. It means getting the whole ma-, chinery of government into effective and harmonious ac- tion to translate aspirations ‘into concrete policies, and to answer obvious urgent needs with deeds.
