Truth is. we neglected to

Cancer Crusade Launched
An urgent appeal was addres
sed to the people of Lancaster
City and County to support the
Lancaster County Crusade today
by Nathaniel E Hager, General
Chairman.
“The success of our Crusade,”
said Mr Hager, “will depend to
a large extent on stepped-up giv
ing from local business and in
dividuals. Sufficient funds for
the National Cancer Society have
not been forthcoming in the past
Last year, 98 grants for re
search scholarships had to be
refused because of lack of money
Expensive laboratory equipment
could not be purchased for the
same reason We hope that
e\ crybody will recognize the im
portance of our appeal this yeai ”
Threat To Industry
“The disease of cancer, the
nation’s gieatest killer next to
heart disease, poses a great threat
to the personnel of all our in
dustries, as well as their families.
Loss of valuable workers through
cancer will surely be eliminated
in the near future, if sufficient
funds can be obtained in Ameri
ca for cancer research When you
consider that one family in three
has a cancer victim at some time,
and one person m four contracts
some form of this disease, the
urgency of this appeal is easy to
realize.”
sponge will not fall out.
Many thanks for your letters,
interest is picking up, and some
may be delayed lintil next week
Keep them coming. We appreci
ate your interest, and want you
to share your favorite recipes,
household hints, poems, or just
plain letters Meanwhile that's
all for this week, and come Fri
day a week, we’ll
See you again.

“Cancer has two strong al
lies,” said Mx-. Hagei, “fear and
lack ot knowledge To deal with
'this threat, the American Can
cer Society has organized an at
tack on three different levels:
education, service, research The
educational program publicizes
the danger signals ot cancer, and
advocates regular physical
checkups The service program
involves treatment of cancer
patients here in our community.
The drama of the reseaich pro
gram is being enacted in 15 dif
ferent umveisities, laboratories
and hospitals throughout the na
tion ”

Only Matter of Time
“With this kind of a program,
it is only a matter of time until
the cuie and prevention of can
cer will be an assuied fact.
Across Amenca, thousands of
dedicated men of science are en
gaged in this race against time.
An early discovery of the answer,
will save hundreds of thousands
of lives ”
“If. County people will face
up to this great challenge, and
increase their contributions this
year, they will be safeguarding
the futuie of their own family,
as well as the health of the en
tire community. The slogan of
the Cancer Crusade this year is
a good one ‘Fight cancer with
a check-up and a check ’ Lancas
ter County’s goal is $43,000 We
can surpass this goal only
through increased contributions
all along the line ” "
