The disease affects a significant number of people even in the age groups under forty and while there is no evidence of an increase in the cancer rate, there is some rise in the amount of cancer, probably due to a steady increase in the age of our population and improved diagnostic methods. For the person who has cancer, the greatest hope lies in early diagnosis and treatment by an expert. The Brooks (Alta.) Bulletin During an Ottawa conference called by the Minister of National Health and Welfare and attended by representatives of the medical and allied professions, the National Cancer Institute of Canada was created to lead the fight against the dreaded disease. The plain fact is that because of a poorly managed government spending spree, many wartime taxes that were accepted in good faith by Canadians because of the emergency, are still being levied on Canadian people and Canadian industry. Both motor cars and motoring have had so many taxes heaped on them by the government that the load is going to make it very difficult for the automotive industry to play its full part in our postâ€"war recovery. Canada has declared open and unrestricted war on cancer, Public Health Enemy No. 2. Health Hazard No. 1 is disease of the heart products in this country that are taxed as heavily as gasoline. In most provinces the provincial tax is 11 cents on the gallon. The 8% sales tax adds approximately one cent more. When the scores of inâ€" direct taxes are added, the ‘total is as great as the wholesale price. In other words, the motorist is required to contribute a dollar in taxes for every dollar that he spends for gasoline.
