Executive Officer,
Canadian Cancer Society
Since the beginning of time
man has been plagued with a
variety of diseases, and many
are still with us. Among these,

that of cancer has been
discovered in fossils, long
extinct animals, prehistoric

man and other primitives,
proving it to be one of the
more persistent of its kind.

In its ferocity it claims the
lives of some 40,000 Canadians
annually, 365,000 Americans,
and untold millions
throughout the world.

Despite years of research, no
cause or universal cure for this
disease has been found,
although significant progress
has been made in its treatment.

Twenty five years ago, only
1 in 5 persons with the disease
survived for at least 5 years
following diagnosis and
surgery, the only treatment of
value at that time.

Today, medical science,
through its diligence to the
cause, has added many new
dimensions to the treatment
picture, including cobalt and

chemotherapy.
Used individually, or in
groupings, these treatment

advances have improved the

survival statistics to the point
where an average of 55 per cent
of those persons with cancer
condition are alive and well
after 5 years. Public education
programs are creating a strong
personal awareness and better
understanding ‘of this disease,

resulting in early detection and
earlier treatment..

Unfortunately, the com-
plexity of the disease, coupled
with the many anxieties ex-
perienced by the individual
diagnosed as having the
disease, has given rise to so
called ‘‘miracle cures’? being
discovered for the sole purpose
of extorting money from those
persons looking for such a
product,

Usually’ such ‘‘cures’’ are
only available through
treatment centres located in
countries where existing
controls are non existent on the
sale of such items, and where
the existing Food & Drug laws
of other countries cannot reach
them.

“THIS IS RUBBER DUCK
CALLING FROM SANSCHA!”

By C. Nelthorpe

BREAK! BREAK! — this is
the Rubber Duck calling — do
you copy me — Sanscha Hall,
Sidney? Big 10-4, ye we
gotcha. Where’s your 10-20?
We are just boarding the Black
Ball Ferry U.S.A., over. OK
for now, catch you later, drive
carefully, we’re gone.

Yes Sanscha Hall Sidney was
wall to wall Saturday evening
with Citizen’s Band Radio
Operators. If you were a
stranger to the world of C.B.
you’d of thought that-men and
women from outer space had
landed. This was the Saanich
Peninsula C.B. Radio Club’s
Spring Break and Dance.
- Using their own C.B. lingo
talk, swapping Q.S.L. cards
-and having an eye ball with
each other for the first time.

You would have not heard
the names like John, ‘Bill,
Charlie, Jack but skip handles
like ‘_— White Lightening,
_ Lumber, Jack, Sinbad, Gentle
Ben, Fender Bender, etc.

The Spring Dance was.

sponsored by the Peninsula
Club to raise funds for wor-
thwhile projects for the people
of the area. The log book
shows where the Club has
donated money to those who
were in need, and con-
tributions to various
organizations and etc. There
are entries where the Club had
assisted in search and rescue
work and helping stranded
motorists in radio com-.
munications. The Club has
purchased a wheelchair and it
is available to anyone who
needs one for a short time.
(contact Gordon Bryson or
Colin Nelthorpe).

We must admit that the
recording artists have broken
our C.B. code by making up

‘songs about truckers and their

C.B. rigs (radios). As you have

heard, they warn each other | Q

when the Bears or Smokies

- (Police) are around, but this

we feel is good because we as
C.B.ers tend to help slowing
down the accident rate and we

Saanichton School Principal
. G. Rice for his attempts to
Teduce student trespassers in
the area. ©

Ald. Lazarz spoke in favor
of a memo sent to parents
earlier this this week and
brought to council’s attention.

Although the letter stressed”

that the situation is ‘“‘by no
means critical’’, Rice requested
_parents to reinforce the respect
for others’ property.
’ Rice cited the high incidence
of short cuts through private
_property, and the damage
caused to fences ‘on these
properties. One fence had cost
$400 to repair in the last year.

The letter went on to ask
students. to follow definite
paths made by tractors, ete., if
it was absolutely necessary to
cross a field, and not in
planted fields.

Outbuildings are  out-of-
bounds, ‘Rice stated, and
added that fruit trees and
lawns necd respect. ‘Walk

BLAND FINALE

Well known Sidney business
man Len Bland recently shaved
off his moustache. . . this
may have brought him bad
luck over the weekend when he
and his wife were out salmon
fishing. Len hooked onto the
largest fish he had ever played
and actually had the monster
within sight of the boat after a
25 minute fight, Suddenly it
elected to depart, snapping a
30 pound test leader,

However the day was not a
total loss. A number of other
~ large fish were brought home,

He reminded students that

Stealing and that dogs running

loose are also a nuisance in
newly planted fields.

‘I feel the lack of con-
sideration for property, etc., is
more an unawareness on the
part of the pupils than a

vandalistic act,’ Rice con-
cluded.

THE REVIEW

cumberances -of these laws,
their major interest is in the
monetary gain that can be
realised from such enterprises
by dwelling mainly on the
emotional unrest of the ter-
minally ill, relatives & friends,
all of whom are clutching at
straws in a bid for survival.
The centres are usually
impressive, well furnished, and
its staff dressed in appropriate
clothing, i.e. white coats,
horned rimmed glasses, as
befits a medical setting.
Unfortunately, the ‘‘Dr.”
prefix carried by many of the
personnel is not one of
medicine, although the illusion
is always there for the patient.
Under the guise of being
suppressed by governments for
political reasons, or by the
many Medical Associations to
preserve their own members
selfish financial interests by
not revealing such a ‘‘cure’’,
the promoters seek out the
services of communications

media, usually the type who |

make their living from sen-
sationalism and the creation of
public controversy, again
based on the receptiveness of
the emotionally distressed.
Cures range from a daily
intake of grape juice, castor oil
mixed with olive oil, herb
compounds, vitamin com-
pounds, psychic surgery, and
even a ‘‘magic sleeping

board’’. Costs can range from
pennies up to $2,500 a visit, as -

made from apricot pits known
as Laetrile, Amygdalin or
B.17.

All have one thing in
common, according to reports
from major medical centres
across the North American

continent. They have NO
recognized value in the
treatment of cancer after
thorough investigation and

testing. In the case of Laetrile,
tested again recently under
pressure from the proponents
of the compound, it was not
only found to be valueless in
cancer treatment, but also
lacking in any vitamin content.

Such ‘‘cures’’ are denounced
by the medical profession as a
‘“‘cruel fraud’’, and by the
National Cancer Institute as
‘a wicked business — ona par
with swindling widows’’. . .

As long as there are diseases
there will be quack cures, and
distressed people to lead into

the trap. Only by un-
derstanding: the motive of
those behind such offerings
can they be eliminated.
National Cancer Institutes
and affiliated _ institutions
around the world, utilizing
funds from many sources, are
providing monies to resear-
chers and scientists working in
areas of cancer control, who’s

‘major objective is to find the

answer to this disease.

When this is achieved, they
will combine their talents and
knowledge with those fighting
the many other diseases in our
society. Until then, patients, are
urged to recognize the fact that
by accepting anything other

than the tested, proven, and

recognized forms of treatment
for their condition is not worth
the risk involved. The delay in
their regular treatment
program only serves to worsen
their condition.
