Stranded Town Short On Food GRANITE, Ore., Feb. 16— (AP) Residents of this eastern Oregon mountain mining town—marooned behind snow drifted roads for 13 days—are worried about dwindling food supplies. They were' told it appeared un likely today that roads could be opened to the town until Saturday. “We can hold out for a few days yet,” reported Orville Creston, own er of a general store. He said resi dents have cleaned out stores of staples such as potatoes, lard, eggs, and canned milk. The Grant county community also discovered that while they fought to clear the principal road to Sumpter, in Baker county, that nothing was being done to clear the route from the opposite direc tion. Creston said two local tractors had been able to clear by six miles over the 16-mile route to Sumpter in 13 days. He said Granite resi dents thought Baker county plows were working from Sumpter, but IVCA Bible Study The Inter-Varsity Christian fel lowship will sponsor Bible studies today at 8 a.m. in room 204 of the library, at 11 a.m. in the conference room at the YMCA, and at 2 p.m. in the Gerlinger annex. learned today that county was con centrating work on other major roads. Meanwhile, Odie Dickens, Grant county judge, said in John Day he would direct plows and tractors to Sumpter and then work toward Granite. He said he had just been advised of the plight of the com munity.

Part of every dollar which you and other generous Americans gave to us last year went for cancer research, part for cancer education, and part for cancer medical service. Let’s see exactly what those terms mean. YOUR MONEY WENT FOR CANCER RESEARCH There exists no more powerful weapon against cancer than research. Research has given us X-ray, radium, and surgical tech niques for the treatment of cancer. It is re search which will deal cancer the most tell ing blows in the future—perhaps, please God, the deathblow which will some day wipe out this dread disease. Thousands of scientists are engaged in cancer research right now. For this purpose they are provided with an arsenal of ex pensive technical equipment. Last year, part of your money went to ward the more than 53,000,000 set aside in 1947 for cancer research. YOUR MONEY WENT FOR CANCER EDUCATION Education begins where research leaves off. It distributes knowledge already gained to everyone who should have it. Education requires the use of every avail able means of public information. It calls for booklets, posters, and billboards, radio transcriptions, magazine and newspaper messages to the public, films, and leaflets. Nearly 50,000,000 pieces of printed ma terial alone were produced and distributed by the Society in 1947. Last year, part of your money went to ward doing that job. YOUR MONEY WENT FOR CANCER MEDICAL SERVICE Medical service backs up the direct attack against cancer. By means of scientific papers, technical films, lectures and other services, physicians and scientists are kept informed of the latest developments in the detection, treatment, and cure of cancer. In your own community, the Society’s Field Army of volunteer workers renders personal aid to cancer patients. The Field Army also helps establish and staff local detection centers and cancer clinics and publicizes them locally. i Last year, part of your money went for cancer medical service. Thai’s what wa did with tha money you gave us last year. Now we need more—to fight for the one out of every eight persons still marked to be stricken by cancer. Maybe one of them is the man who sat beside you at the movies last night . . . maybe it’s a person who lives on your street... maybe it’s a friend or a member of your family ... maybe it’s you. Whoever it is, there’s hope—it you give! Will you aid the fight for his life—again this year—with as big a contribution as you can possibly manage? GIVI TO CONQUER CANCER SOCIETY, INC
