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.

unreasonable to expect success in this fight against
cancer if the public becomes sufficiently aroused and
adequate support is forthcoming.

ago,, of burning out cancer

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.
