Original Toronto Star caption: Although it is two years since Alfred Scadding was rescued from Moose River mine in Nova Scotia, he still feels the effects. So badly injured were his feet that the toes on both have been amputated. Scadding was told by Dr. D. E. Robertson, who shared the perilous adventure with him, that amputation of both feet would probably be essential. Other specialists have told him the same since circulation remains poor. In an effort to stimulate the blood flow, Scadding this summer took up golf. With his daughter Joanne, who was one week old when her father was reported missing, he spends, hours on the links.

Victor Ling is world- renowned for his work in cancer research. Last year he received both the Dr. Josef Steiner Prize in Europe and the General Motors Kettering Prize - recognized as the top international award for cancer research - at a June dinner in Washington, D.C. Ling helped discover how cancer cells resist the effects of tumor-destroying drugs by using a tiny protein. The protein ejects drugs from the cell before they have time to act. Ling spent years refining and confirming the discovery, which has sparked a search for the right decoy drug capable of fooling the protein and allowing cancer-fighting drugs to slip in for the kill.
