Mrs. Jessie Jones to Head
Cancer Crusade Here
Mrs. William A. Egan, 1961
State Cancer Crusade Chairman,
announced the appointment of
Mrs. Jessie Jones as general
chairman for the Nome area. Co
chairmen are Mrs. Walter Gla
vinovich and Mrs. Stan Morgan.
Mrs. Jones, accepting the vol
untary posit, stated that she would
do all possible to make the 1961
crusade the most successful ever.
Mrs. Jones asked the cooperation
of every man, woman and jchild
in the Nome area, so that the edu
cational value of the crusade
might be exploited to the fullest
value.
“When you realize that more
people die of cancer each year
than now live in the entire State
of Alaska, you recognize the mag
nitude of the cancer problem,”
Mrs. Jones said. “The fact that
is more alarming is that about
85,000 of these deaths could be
avoided if people would learn to
have a regular physical examina
tion and heed cancer’s 7 danger
signals, thereby facilitating early
detection. This is the message of
the Cancer Crusade in addition
to asking for voluntary support
of the three-fold program of the
American Cancer Society by con
tributing generously.”
The campaign will be launched
here early in July.
