RESEARCH IS KEY TO SUCCESS
Cancer Control Predicted
Some day cancer will be a controlled disease..
This is the opinion of Major Harry Kin;1, executive^ccioViry of the B.C.-Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer Society.
"Better control of cancer is being   brought   about   all   the
lime through research," Major King told The Citizen in an interview today.

"Three weeks ago we opened a Cancer Research Centre at the University of B.C.,' Major King said. "The building and equipment cost us $625,000 and are equal to anything on the North American continent.
"Money for the centre was raised by provincial units like the one in Prince George. All our research and public information services couldnt be achieved without the support of the units.
"The work done by your branch here has been notable in this respect."
Major King said B.C. is currently leading the world in its facilities for research and early detection of cancer of the cer-\ i.\, the second leading canccr-killer of women.

A big part of the battle against cancer of the cervix were the forums for women held throughout the province last year, Major King said. TOP  EFFORT
"The executive of the Prince George unit is to be congratulated for its outstanding success in this forum. Both forums here were packed."
Mr. King said participation by students of the local senior high scool in a province-wide essay contest on "To Smoke or Not. To Smoke" was also a credit to the local unit.
"That contest was the most successful one we've ever organized," he said. "We had over 2,0(K) entries from the students of the province.
"The contest was so successful that we'll run it again this year. This time we'll osk the students to combine art work with an essay on the link between smoking and lung cancer. "We'll ulso have a film strip on lung cancer available to the high school here.
"We   feel   it   is   our   duty   to warn teenagers of the danger of smoking, for a definite? lin! between lung cancer and r.mok ing has been established."

Wheat 72 Cents In Week
1 By Tin; Canadian   Press Perhaps the strongest reflec tion of drought conditions on the Prairies was seen Tuesday in  a  report 'by 'the  Canadian Board of Grain Commissioners which   showed   a   72-cent   in crease in the price of a bushe of wheat in the last week.
A week ago Friday, the re ports said,  durum  wheat was selling   at   $2.09%    a    bushel vhile  Friday  it  had  risen   to $2.81% a bushel. The report also showed the mount of durum , in  storage and   in   transit   has   fallen   to .101,271     bushels     compared vith. almost 21,000,000 bushels t the same time last year.

Continued warm, showerless weather today was posing the threat of a return to 'serious forest'fire conditions in the Prince George Forest District. . Hazard was moderate but on the increase today as the sun beat down through.a cloudless sky.
"The fire situation looks very good right now," a B.C. Forest Service official said, "but if this weather keeps up we'll be worrying by the weekend."
Forest fire hazard in the di trict has 'been low -to moderate for the last three weeks duo to general rain and cool weather.
The cool weather was a welcome break for forest service officials, who had boon battling through a grim spring fir season. '
Only one new fire, a spot fire 10 miles west of Quesnel, was reported in the district Tuesday. The b|aze is burning n heavy moss and covers less than an acre.
A total of eight fires were still burning in the district oday.

Mayor Harry Hays and his city c o m m is s 1 o n e r s met throughout the day, hut whether their iiiRpnuity will pay off remains to be seen.
Tuesday evening the city issued a plea for the co-'operaHon of pedestrians and motorists. It outlined measures to keep <';il-gary moving during the strike, one of which was the use of 10 school playgrounds and 22 city locks for free parking.
I Canada said Tuesday repair | crews working in the company's 10-milc power tunnel have found at least five minor rockfalls in' addition to the major fall which closed operations here last month.
Work in the tunnel, which takes water through a mountain from a huge man-made lake lo the company's power house at Kemano, 45 miles southeast of here has been stepped-up around the clock.
A total of 200 men now are working on a three-shift basis to clear the debris, check the entire tunnel for weakening .ind build a reinforced concrete areli in the area of the main rock-fall which was located by calculation before the shutdown.
N. S. Crerar, vice-president of power operations, said Tuesday it is hoped the work will be finished and power supply resumed lo the big smelter here early in September.
Til Resign Anyway/ tearful Coyne States
OTTAWA (CP)�James E. Coyne said today he will resign immediately as governor of the Bank of Canada whether or not he is judged "guilty" by parliament.
There were tears in his eves as he completed his' final, dra matic speech.
He turned, bowed to the chairman and walked out of the committee room and the parliament buildings.
Mrs. Coyne, who sat in the committee room throughout the 13 hours of testimony, rushed after him.
She caught up to him at the front door of the parliament buildings and they walked down Parliament Hill with their arms around each other.
Mr.  Coyne  said  at the  conclusion of his 25-minute speech: "A vote in favor of this bill is a vote of guilty.
"It cannot be equivocating. I shall be marked for life and declared by the highest court . . . to be unfit to hold this high office of parliament by reason of misbehavior. "A verdict of not guilty will
not prevent my immediate departure from that office but it will permit me to retire honorably."
DONALD FLEMING, finance minister, did not appear at the Coyne hearing today to present the government's side in the dispute. Mr. Coyne delayed his summing-up briefly to see if the minister would appear but he did not.

The governor also quoted Mr. Bryden as telling him Feb. 1G that "on the cocktail circuit, your throat has been split down the middle and your successor appointed." NO KNIFING
Mr. Coyne said Mr. Brydcn told him "I did not accept appointment at the hands of the Conservative government for the purpose of putting a knife in the back of the governor."

tell him that he. had sent a lengthy memorandum, dated Feb. 15, 1961, to Mr. Fleming outlining hi.s ideas for this year's  federal  budget.
Mr. Bryden agreed that the memorandum should he put before the minister as a matter of record, and that it should have been done earlier, Mr. Coyne said. GROWTH SPARK
Mr. Bryden'a view was that the memorandum would demonstrate that there were constructive proposals to spark economic growth without depending on monetary policy alone.
Mr. Coyne was questioned clqsel y about the Feb. IS "Coyne budget" by Senator Arthur Roebuck (I.Ontario). Senator Walter Aseltine (PCSas-'< uiiiiiiiii-il   on    I'.ijtr   3)

Governor    James     E.     Coyne grinned.
It was one of the few excursions into wit by committee members Tuesday as they cross-examined the embattled Bank of Canada governor. It brought laughter and temporary relief to the pent-up emotions in the hot, smoke-heavy room.
Mr. Coyne was being questioned as to why, in releasing private and confidential letters and information in his fight with the government, he did not feel bound by his oath of secrecy. He had done I his before the government attacked him in public, said Senator Louis I1. Bcaubien (PC-Quebec).
The governor said lie folt it was his duty to inform the public. It was all bound lo become public knowledge in any event.
It was at this point that the 83-ycar-old Senator Roebuck made his quip.
Senator Roebuck: "Were you told at thai time (when Finance Minister Fleming asked UlO governor May 3d for his Immediate resignation) that it whs a private matter, and confidential, and that you were to keep it secret?"
Mr. Coyne: "No, ilra I do not
think it would have made much difference if 1 had been."
