CANCER RESEARCH.

DR. FENWICK AT WOMEN'S CLUB.

"Cancer has become such a menace that it has been found necessary to make a special effort to combat it," said Dr. Fenwick yesterday afternoon at the Canterbury Women's Club, "and because women arc more sympathetic, and understand these things better than men, I am making a special appeal to women. I am not going to speak about pain and suffering, as I see enough of it every day, and you also will not need to be told details, but century after century doctors have striven to overcome this scourge. "But for the work of Madame Curie we should probably still remain .entirely helpless, yet we have, by her aid, been able to gain a little headway. We are not able to cure when the disease is established, but if people will only come early to the doctors we have some hope of helping them. During my time as a doctor I have seen one disease after another relegated to the background; these have been smallpox, typhoid, diphtheria, and consumption—often called the "white plague"—but these do not to-day loom large as dangers. Not so many years ago all were tho main enemies; now they arc negligible, and one alone remains important —cancer.

"It is better far to put a fence at the top of a cliff than to provide an ambulance at the bottom," continued Dr. Fenwick, "and that is what the research worker does. All these other diseases have been overcome not by the man with the knife, nor the physician, but by tho quiet worker in the background, the man in the laboratory. Every country in the world has realised the need for research in this direction, in order to isolate the scourge, as every country suffers from it. A world-wide campaign is in progress to work towards this end, and we in New Zealand are trying to do our share. "But I woultf remind you," concluded Dr. Fenwick, "that more than money the personal influence of women in their own circles, in causing those who suffer to go to the doctors and not hold back until too late, can help us to diminish the total of suffering from this scourge."

On behalf of the Dominion branch of the British Empire Cancer Campaign Society, Mr E. H. Wyles spoke of the steps which were being taken to inaugurate a campaign for funds in Christchurch, and said that in the alleviation of pain good is done not for the patient alone but for the whole circle of his acquaintances. Mr Wyles suggested that the best way in which those present could help was by a canvass among their own circle, of friends.

The matter was referred to the committee. of the club for action.

Mrs R. T. Tosswill presided at the meeting.

BIRTHDAY PARTY. A surprise party, numbering 78, was taken to the home of Mr and Mrs Winterbourn (Kaiapoi) on Monday evening in honour-of the 21st birthday of their younger son, Ralph. The tennis court and lawn were illuminated and games and dancing were enjoyed. The music was supplied by Mr and Mrs Cosgrove with accordion and banjo. A sit-down supper was served on the lawn, decorations being of balloons, sweet peas, and gypsophila. The large birthday cake on a silver stand was placed in a floating flower bowl, with 21 lighted candles, and flame flower and silver decorations. The guest of honour cut the cake and handed 21 coloured flags to guests, from which each read a wish.

A golden key, attached to a ribbon, was presented to the guest of honour and also a Gladstone bag, which was presented by Mr S. Phillips. Mr Balph Winterbourn returned thanks. Miss Pollard acted as M.C. and Mrs S. Goring and Mrs Fisher were chaperons.
