Separate Drive Perils Cancer Society

Community Fund Withdrawal Causing Reorganization Os Group '• *

Whether the Adams county chapter of the American cancer society can continue its work or not is the decision left to the volunteers who met Thursday, September 10. The Adams county unit, from this fall on, cannot affiliate with the community chests of the county in Decatur and Berne because the American Cancer Society board of directors have, adopted a new policy. There can be no participation of local units in federated appeals or community chests, and the drives that have not met their cancer society quotas are urged to review their situation and to withdraw from federated societies. To conduct a separate drive each April under the new fund-raising policy will take more volunteer workers. Thus the county chapter met in June to reorganize, and set the second Thursday in September as the second reorganization meeting, when the volunteers who come will decide on what to do. Independent Crusade The society needs to expand in its fund-raising drive, the board

A . of directors of the national society pointed out when it explained the new policy. An independent “Crusade for Cancer” has raised twice as much support in large cities between 1952 and 1954, than united crusades, figures indicate. Only an independent fund-raising and educational crusade, the board stated, can support the expanding attack on cancer, which was spurred on by the victory over polio, another mystery killer until the Salk vaccine was discovered. More money, particularly, is needed for researchers who are working to find a cure for this disease. To find a cure and a treatment has become increasingly important, for the national cancer death rate has been rising steadily: in 1935, the number of cancer deaths per 100,000 population was 108; in 1940, it was 120; by 1947, it had risen to 132, and for 1957, the estimated rate was 147. This year cancer will strike 450,000 Americans and kill 260,000—almost twice as many persons as the population of Fort Wayne.

Next After Heart Disease What is this disease that is the biggest killer after diseases of the heart and arteries? Malignant cancer is ci disorderly growth of cells in the body’s tissues. It is not governed by the laws which control the growth of normal cells, and can spread to other parts of the body once it is started. If it is not destroyed or removed, it eventually causes death. Although it is usually a disease of middle and old age, it may occur at any time of life. In infants, from birth until the age of six, cancer is in second place in frequency as a major cause of death. What is being done to fight this disease? The American Cancer Society first wants to make available to the public facts that will tell persons what is being done to find the unknown cause of cancer and its cure and also facts that the individual can use to protect himself and his loved ones from tragedy. Second, the society provides money for the research. Third, the

society helps the victims of cancer through a family service program. Through the weeks ahead, until the next reorganization meeting, the Cancer Society will be releasing information about more details of the new policy, the research being done to find a cure , and a treatment, the education . that can be done through a cancer society program, and the service it offers to families. After they are informed, the people of Adams county will be able to decide whether they want an American cancer society crusade next April and a separate program—by the presence or absence of volunteer workers who will do- , nate their time and effort.

Weekend Rains Worth Millions LAFAYETTE, Ind. <UPD—State climatologist Lawrence A. Schaal today said Indiana’s rains last Sunday and Monday “must be valued in the millions of dollars.” Schaal said in his weekly weath;er summary that the rains fell ■ where crops were suffering the most—heaviest in the south and least near Lake Michigan. - Schaal also reported that the week's temperature averages' were unique, with upstate South j Bend's average of 79 degrees > being one degree warmer than |

Straszheim reported that the rains came just after farm reporters told of short topsoil moisture in nearly 75 per cent of the state’s counties and short subsoil moisture in more than half. Straszheim reported that plowing for wheat is now about 20 per cent finished, twice as great as last year; more than one-third of the com has reached soft dough stage, well ahead of recent years, and soybeans are starting to manure downstate. Nearly 80 per 1 cent of tomato fields have been J picked at least once, far ahead of | recent years.
