But Mom went away and didn’t come back. No home is safe from cancer. Last year cancer killed more mothers of growing families than any other disease. Tragic—but even more tragic is the fact that many of these deaths need never have happened. Many of the mothers who now die could be cured—IF they learned to recognize cancer’s symptoms and seek medical advice immediately —IF sufficient money can be found for the cancer research needed to discover the causes of the disease, to perfect its treatment. The American Cancer Society, through its pro gram of public education and medical research, is dedicated to the conquest of cancer.
