ABBOTSFORD, SUMAS ‘AND MATSQUI NEWS WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD Trappers in southern and central Alberta are having a “poor year”, it was reported by the Alberta game branch.

They occur on exposed parts of the body and among the factors which play an im- portant part in their causation and prevention are the actinic or chemic- ally active rays of sunlight and pig- mentation of the skin. Despite the fact that dark-skinned people occupy as a rule-the hattest regions, where the effects of sunlight are most severe and long-continued, the sun's action upon them is comparatively light. "The mélanin, the pigment of the skin, stands as a sentinel guard- ing the underlying tissues from the baneful effects of sunlight. : The backs of the hands and the face suffer most from the skin can- cers. It is remarkable that these cancers, plain to view, are often al- lowed to progress without treatment until the condition is hopeless. This is because the public have not yet learned to distinguish the early signs of cancer. How Can Cancers Of The Skin Be Recognized? 1. Rodent Ulcer.

Well, when I got to the top, what between heat and sul- phur fumes, I almost fell down. Aided by air driven in (oxygen and nitrogen) this sulphur, does all its own burning of the rock. Yes, that's right.
