Greater stress than ever Is be
ing laid on the campaign this
year, the continuing airn of the
American Cancer society being
to educate the general public to
an effective understanding of the
necessity of early diagnosis and
prompt expert treatment for the
control of the disease. "Today
the treatment of cancer demands
organized services and special
equipment," a recent statement
of the National Jnstitute oi
Health declares. "Because of its
frequency and because so many
patients are unable to meet the
cost of diagnosis and treatment,
cancer Is a major public health
problem."

may be left at either of the local
banks, the Chamber of Com
merce, to the chairman, Mrs.
John Day, Groveland avenue, or
put into a stamped envelope ad

Picking up overseas mail
"...on the fly"
Nothing Is quite no predous to fighting man as a
letter from a loved one back home nothing more
miserable than "iweating out" mail call for the
letter that doesn't come.
Picking up mail "on the fly" at small stations, at
ahown here, is one way Southern Pacific and other
railroads toe to it that your letters are handled
quickly.
Another example of fast, efficient mall service
was Southern Pacific's handling of Christmas mail
to the men overseas.
All mail to the Paciflo fighting fronts Is first rout
ed to Army and Fleet Post Offices in San Francisco.
During the last Christmas season, 2,931 carloads of
overseas mail rollod Into Oakland and San Fran
cisco rail terminals! If the mail bags in these cars
were placed end to end they would have formed a
oontinuous column from San Francisco to Seattle.
To gat this W)NKleflted volume of mail through
on ttaeoadtog,tTansporftn& switching, handling
and trucking problems were worked out well in ad
vance. Many solid trains of mail were run across
the country thousands of freight cars were
"drafted" for mail service. Everything possible was
done to assure your fighting man a letter or pack
age from home on Christmas.
TVe want you to know that mail for fighting men
eomes first with us. It is never put aside for other
traffic. You know how letters help the morale of
men and women at the front. So, won't you write
more letters? Whether it's V-mail or regular mall,
write often

RADAR TRAINING ONE
OF FEW NAVY CHANCES
With 18, 19 and 20-year-old

riod of three months, one of the
