Times Special ' CINCINNATI, April 22.—$2,056,956 worth of war bonds were bought by delegates at the 52d annual Continental Congress of the National Society D. A.

x oy ‘By. THEO. WILSON ‘THEY COME INTO the clinie ‘with fear in their eyes, a fear

‘and even from themselves. .. “Doctor,” they say. “Doctor, I ‘have to ‘know. Do I have a cancer?” And when they get their an“swer, whether it’s ‘yes or no, they lose their fear, at last. . That's ‘what makes the cancer clinic ‘such, a remarkable place. : Out at the City hospital, for instance, the clinic meets once a ‘week, on Wednesday afternoons. It's. at this hospital that the city’s residents can be diagnosed and treated and cured . .. pay‘ing ‘nothing at all, in ‘some cases, or only as much as ‘they can afford.

the Edwin L, Patrick ward for cancer patients has been made available through the philanthropy of Mr. Patrick, who do-

equip such a ward for charity or pati-payment patients,

‘MOST IMPORTANT ofall, it is

here’ that the patients lose their

fear of the unknown. If they're . gladdened with the news that they do not have eancer, they are like people with a new lease on. life, and. they can’t show their relief and gratitude and happiness enough. If they're told it is cancer, then they know that available for them is the best - treatment, the best medical care and perhaps a chance to be cured because they’ve found out—in time. Because the cancer clinic is part of City hospital, it is maintained by the residents of Indianapolis. Besides these funds, the. Patrick ward has its funds from its donor, and added to these is the Memorial fund, which was. started locally in 1941 and is operated by a. committee including medical association members, businessmen and the Women’s Field Army for Cancer Control. From this fund, so far, has come the money to purchase for. the clinic a cabinet of instruments, a lead bench, Radon seeds, and money to cover transportation expenses, with an attendant, to and from the clinic for those unable to afford such service: 3 s 8 8 . ‘THE WOMEN'S FIELD army is now in the middle of its seventh annual enlistment, and a memorial fund committee this year is making a special effort to explain the uses and purposes of the fund. Because cancer is +a disease which often can be cured if caught early enough, information - about it is as necessary as its treatment.

That’s one of the jobs of the Women’s Fiéld army. : As soon as men and women realize that cancer can be cured if found and treated early enough, they won't delay until it is too late. Once their disease is diagnosed, if they cannot afford private treatment, the Patrick ward is open to them. ; » » ” ACCORDING TO Dr. Charles N. Myers, City hospital superin_tendent, they have about $15,000 worth of radium for their cancer patients now. The Radon seeds, purchased with money from. the Memorial fund, are seeds impregnated with radium which are flown here from Chicago when needed. At the ward is the X-ray therapy machine, also used in the treatment of cancer. : Of. the radiume on hand, Dr. Myers says, the seventh district,

men’s and women’s sections in the ward, private rooms and isolation rooms. Because the clinic and ward are maintained by the residents of Indianapolis, local patients are the ones who should get the benefits, Dr. Myers thinks. ¢ A state clinic, operated under similar lines, is his idea of a way + of handling the problem for the state's residents who don’t have city clinics fo t'~~"r ~yn, s 8 8 THE WO.... —....OVANTAGE ‘which doctors have to combat in treating cancer is that patients have let it progress for too long a time. Often a cancer which could ‘have been cured, if found early enough, is so advanced when the patient seeks medical advice, a cure is impossible. That is what the Women’s Field Army for Cancer Control is trying to overcome—through education, distribution of movies and lectures—and that is why its mem-
