USA Meet There will be a USA meeting at 4 p.m. today in room 3 Fenton hall. You can help lock the door against cancer This is a story about a door and two keys. The story will have more point if, first, we state three facts: • Every 3 minutes an American dies of cancer. • 25% of those who die could have been saved. • Many cancers can be cured — if de tected in time. Now here is the story. A door can be built to repel this deadly killer, but the door locks only if two keys are turned. Science holds one key. Your money can provide the other. Your dollars support cancer research which some day may find the causes and cure of the dis ease. Your money supports an education prograqi that teaches men and women how to recognize cancer in its early stages, when immediate treat ment can save their lives. Won’t you help us lock the floor? Give as gener ously as you can. Give more than before. Give to guard those you love. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, INC.*
