M'NUTT CALLS CITIZENS TO AID RADIUM DRIVE Governor Broadcasts Appeal in Fight Against Cancer. Need for a co-operative drive against increasing inroads of cancer was stressed last night by Gov. Mr Nutt in a radio address in behalf of the Seventh District Federation of Clubs' radium fund committee. Speaking from R.adio Station WIRE Gov. McNutt declared: “The women of the Seventh District, Federation of Clubs now are encaged in a great humanitarian work, a work designed to relieve suffering from a dread disease —cancer. “One of the accepted treatments of this disease, which took a toll in 1933 of 128.000 lives, is radium. There arc now. in Marion County alone, approximately 300 men and women probably destined to die, unless they can be treated with radium. Hence there is no further need to point out the great need at once for obtaining a necessary supply of radium for the treatment of cancer at the clinic at the Indianapolis City Hospital. One Out of 10 Is Victim “Statistics show that one out of every 10 persons beyond the age of 45, listening to the sound of my voice, is destined to die of cancer. This dreadful malady now ranks second as the cause of death from diseases in the United States. “It has risen from sixth place, in 1900, to its present position. A study of cancer deaths by age groups shows the mast vulnerable age period to be from 65 to 69. but with no age period escaping. The disease is more prevalent m women than in men, with approximately 56 per rent of the total deaths being from the former. “It has been shown definitely that cancer is curable if discovered in time, but inappropriate treatment and delay is invariably fatal. “The cancer clinic at the Indianapolis City Hospital, since its beginning in 1933, has registered 232 cases of cancer. Treatment Made Difficult ■Because of the expense involved in obtaining a supply of radium, it is difficult for a large majority of those afflicted with cancer to avail themselves of this scientific treatment, and the women of this district are to be congratulated on their efforts to raise an SBOOO fund to purchase radium for the use of those who need this treatment, at the clinic at the City Hospital. “In connection with this drive, sponsored by the women, against cancer, it might be well to point out that there has been set up within the division of public health a state bureau of health education. This bureau arts as a contact medium between the lay public and the medical profession, helps plan health programs and campaigns, secure speakers, provide health films and literature, and assists persons or groups in carrying on this program of health education. More Prevalent in Rural Districts “The statistics oi the state division of public health, strangely enough, show that cancer fatalities were more prevalent in rural communities than among the urban population. This may have been due to lack of treatment or inappropriate treatment in these rural communities. “Statistics show that while ther** have been deaths from cancer in children under 5 that fatalities reach the alarming stage from the age of 35 to 75. the greatest number of deaths being between the ages of 65 and 75. There were only 101 deaths from cancer reported among the Negro population of Indiana last year, the rest being among the white. “The highest death rate from cancer was shown to be in Jennings County, with a rate of 186.4 on the basis of 1000 population. In Marion County, the rate was 112.7. Drive to Save Lives “Ar,d so. my friends, eonsider these points in the drive by the Federated Clubs of the Seventh District: "First, it is to save lives. Who knows how many of the almost 4000 who died as a result of cancer last year might have been saved with proper treatment. “Second, this campaign is of statewide interest, for I am informed that the City Hospital Cancer Clinic is the only clinic in the state which furnishes such treatment free of charge. “Third, the objective of SBOOO for the purchase of this radium needs the definite assistance of all our people. "Fourth, it is a local philanthropy with lasting results, for radium retains all its properties indefinitely. “And. fifth, could any investment give greater value than the saving of human lives?’’ STATE HIGH COURT TEST OF UTILITIES LAW AIM Constitutionality of 1933 Act Is Issue by Decision. By I'nitcti Prrs* SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Nov. 22.—A State Supreme Court test of constitutionality of the 1933 law taxing municipal utilises was contemplated today following a decision in St. Joseph Superior Court holding the act invalid.
