This expansion includes enlarged space for the radiology department; which last year gave more than 100 treatments a day, inauguration of a training course for jX»ray technicians with 18 students currently enrolled, and more complete instruction for students in the university’s school of medi- ; i cine. ~ “Our program” the letter asserts, “has served as ah inspiration to other groups and has called their attention to the importance of sup- ’ porting Indiana’s only school of ’ medicine so that its students, our future family physicians, will be better prepared to discover and treat cancer among their patients who may possibly be members of our families. Our activity has encouraged physicians already practicing in our home communities to keep abreast of developments in field of n apcer diagnosis and treatment.”; j \ ] I Decatur Agent Is Tops In District l Malcolm Locke, 217 Limberlost Trail, leads the entire Fort Wayne district of the Prudential Insurance Company in total combined new business, written for the yehr of 1951.
