Ottawa, will be the truest speaker tonight at the Mac-donald College Faculty Club meeting in the institution. His talk will be on "Folk Songs of Canada Including Indian Songs-" Ottawa. Originally there were seven in the group but two of them were flown back to Britain more than a month ago to identify alleged members of the faked passport ring picked up in London by Scotland Yard. Their deportation was simpler because they were from England, but -the others could not be immediately sent back because of the necessity of obtaining permission from military heads of the German area from which they came. Original plans were to send the Jews back on the first ship bound for Germany from here but it was believed the habeas corpus writ may enable them to remain at least another month.

Meanwhile, they will remain in the immigration depot here until their cases have been finally settled. 'FIFTH COLUMNIST' TERM GIVEN CANCER Dr. J. C. Meakins, of Quebec Society Calls for Courage in Fight Radio listeners yesterday afternoon heard cancer described as "a cruel and treacherous fifth columnist" by Dr.

Jonathan M. Meakins, C.B.E., president of the Quebec branch of the Canadian Cancer Society and former dean of McGill University's faculty of med icine. Courage and knowledge, he added, were our best weapons against the dread scourge. Dr. Meakins outlined the history and stressed the aims of the Cana dian Cancer Society, and declared the task before us would seem al most impossible of achievement when it is realized that every three minutes day and night one of our fellow citizens dies of cancer.

What is even more appalling, cancer steals upon one like a thief in the night. Contrary to a popular belief. cancer is usually painless until far advanced. It is a most cruel and treacherous "fifth columnist." "But cancer," he continued, "cannot be conquered by fear and ig norance which are its most help ful aids. On the contrary, our weapons must be hope, courage and knowledge.

It is true that we do not know the cause of all cancers but we do know the cause of some forms and can produce cancer by several Likewise we have not what is known as a specific cure for cancer but we do know that the earlier a cancer is recog nized and treated by such means as we have at our disposal, the greater are the chances of a permanent cure. Unfortunately such measures for early detection and treatment are not easily available to all people nor do they have knowledge of the early signs of cancer. But even if this knowledge were ponsessed by all. our tanks would not be completed." "We must not rest in our efforts," declared Dr. Meakins, "until three other things are known: first, the fundamental cause of cancer; sec ond, a ready and simple method of knowing that a cancer is present in its very earliest stages; and third, a specific cure for all forms of cancer wherever it may be.

All of these objectives together make our task a tremendous one but we cannot lose hope nor fail in courage." Alleged Keepers Freed Recorder Irenee Lagarde Saturday dismissed a gambling house count against two alleged keepers and 26 persons found on the premises of the Duvernay Club, 327 St. Catherine street east, during a raid by the morality squad last Oct. 7. Freed were Solomon Zeiler, and Jean Charles Chase and the 26 players. John Crankshaw, K.C., and Lucien Gagnon were the defence counsel.

Five Jewish aliens who entered Canada illegally five months ago today pinned their hopes of remain ing here on a writ of habeas corpus taken out on their behalf by their counsel, E.

M. Berger, of Montreal. The Jews, one of them a woman, arrived here from Toronto Friday night to await the arrival of the ship that will take them back to Frankfurt, Germany. They entered Canada last November with faked passports which they purchased in Britain but shortly after they arrived in Toronto they were taken into custody by R.C.M.P. Possibly the most downhearted was David Fajtlowicz, 22, who came here from Germany.

"After what we have been through, this is the last straw," he said. "I would rath er stay in jail than go back to Ger many. Another of the group, Israel Cho- lewa, 28, said all the deportees were self-supporting. "Canada is a big country, yet there is no place for five people," he Others ordered to leave were Choleva's wife, Arthur Magat, 34, and Abram Abramowitz, 35. They have been in Toronto where they went on bond after their appeal for deportation was turned down by the Immigration Department in Mild Weather to Stay, Some Rain Expected Yesterday's mild spell will continue today, according to the weatherman at Dorval, although showers are expected early this morning.

Skies will clear later and the high and low was forecast at 38 and 60. The cooler air will result from the rain, but the mercury will rise during the latter part of the day. 1,100 Bibfes Presented To Laurentien Hotel Ceremonies to mark the gift of 1,100 Bibles from the Gideons, International to the Laurentien Hotel were held in the Conference Room of the hotel last night under the chairmanship of E.

Mr Rhrtnk said the rule of the British in Palestine had been a "civilized" rule but now Jerusalem was being "handed over to the most fiendish groups. "Thp world is sitting around with its arms folded and doing nothHg about it while Jews are being bar red from various places in Pales tin hv armed Arab eanesters."

Educated at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, Dr. Atherton spent several years in post-graduate study then in 1907 he came to Canada and for one year taught school in Alberta.
