Cancer Must Be Cured It is quite natural that Jackson county citizens should take a lively interest in the current drive for funds to be used in the nation-wide fight against cancer. Forty-seven lives were lost in this county last year from this baffling and menacing disease. It kills 160,000 persons in the U. S. every year I ' e e e CANCER is not a new disease. It was desenbed in the oldest known scientific documents Egyptian papyri dated as far back as 1600 B. C, mentions it, and references are likewise found in early writings from India and in the Old Testament. CANCER seems to be on the increase, but this may be due to the fact that it is more easily recognized today. There is no reason, however, for discourage ment as the death rate CAN be cut almost in half by detection, diagnosis, surgery, radiation, and educa tion. There is encouragement, too, in promise of new discoveries and tecnnique3. virtnallv wiDed out other, unreasonable to expect success in this fight against cancer if the public becomes sufficiently aroused and adequate support is forthcoming. ACCORDING to an enlightening article in Fortune marroTino rip research foreshadows "the first original cancer-control' principle since a frightened Rrrvntian doctor had the notion, about 3,000 years ago,, of burning out cancer seeks to prevent or reverse feeding or injection, sucfi a development migni entirely eliminate surgery and radiation as cancer treatment, routing cancer as easily as penicillin routs hosts of bacteria and sulfa drugs rout pneumonia. IT is going to take the best of scientific brains, better organized research and millions of dollars to meet the cost. Prompt and generous response to this current appeal for funds will thus speed the conquest of cancer and save precious lives. Jackson county's share will be $1682. It shouldn't be difficult to meet this moderate quota. e e . e e e THE cause is so thoroughly deserving that men like Eric Johnson, national chairman, and Dave Simp son, Oregon chairman, are setting aside other press ing demands upon their time and energy to give top priority to this cancer campaign. We hope that citizens here and throughout also recognize the worthiness of this appeal and con tribute generously. H.G. I OF FARM EMPLOYES A count ot the number of per sons, 14 years old and over, em ployed on farms In Jackson County is being made by enum erators of the Bureau of the Cen sus, Deportment of Commerce, as one of the principal features of the 1943 Census of Agriculture now under way.
