Saving Lives Is
Objective Of
Cancer Crusade
Saving lives now, as well as
countless lives in the future, is
the double-barreled objective of
the American Cancer Society’s
Crusade which opens today, ac
cording to Mrs. Lucile Gilbert,
chairman of the drive here in
Nome.
“The success of our short
range and long - range programs
depends upon the generous coop
eration of the public,” said Mrs.
Gilbert.
“If funds are available, we can
sten up the research we now sup
po t in hundreds of laboratories
s'affed by more than 1,000 scien
tists who are seeking to control
cancer for all time. And if funds
are available we can fill unmet
needs in our program of service,
public education and professional
education, and save some of those
85,000 Americans who die of can
cer every year—without need.”
On the eve of the drive, Mrs.
Gilbert said that more than 20
volunteers are ready to go into
action here in Nome.
“They distribute information
material which we know to be
life-saving,” the chairman said. “I
urge you to save your leaflets, to
study them carefully and heed
their advice—to give yourself and
your family the best possible
chance in the event that cancer
strikes.
“And don’t forget that this dis
ease strikes two out of three
households, at one time or an
other. But with prompt and pro
per treatment, one half of all
those who get cancer can be
saved. Unfortunately, treatment
isn’t always prompt. So we are
actually saving only one in three
patients.”
Mrs. Gilbert said that the vol
unteers will work on a number
of committees, under the follow
ing chairmen: Conrad Potter, Pat
St. Amour, Mary Diede, and Marc
Beauchamp.
