Today's Easter Page Today's picture page in the spirit of Easter is the work of a number of persons. The Easter message was written by the R.ev. Raymond E. Bal fomb, pastor of First Methodist church.. The pageant scene is portrayed by young people of Apostolic Faith church, and the pageant will be presented this afternoon at the church, at 3 o'clock. Entitled "The Empty Tomb," the program will portray the Easter story beginning with Christ's prayer in the garden and continuing to His triumphant resurrection. Trie narra tive is taken from scripture, interspersed with songs and recita tions. The garden scene was painted by Mrs. Isaac Shults, and Mrs. Coy Bailey is program director. Those in the pageant scene are (left to right, standing) Jody Bishop as the angel who rolled the stone away; Bonny Matula, an gel in the torpb; Larry Ritthalier, who portrays Peter and Milton O'Neill, cast as John; (kneeling) Connie Hunt, angel in the tomb; Deana Brown, the other Mary and Bernice Frohreich, Mary Mag dalene. The photograph is the work of Bob Dyer, Brainerd's stu dio. Four years ago on Easter Sunday, The Mail Tribune featured the large picture on today's front page. Because of its beauty and religious spirit, it was saved in the belief that readers would enjoy seeing it once more. The picture was made in the Camp White chapel and the kneeling figure is that of one of the veterans living at the camp at that time. It was made by Carl Landis of Landis Shangle studio. The church window picture, also used in previous issues, is of one of the windows in the historic Jacksonville Presbyterian church. The colored glass windows were made in Italy under order from C. C. Beekman, pioneer banker, and were shipped around Cape Horn, arriving in December, 1881. Miss Carrie Beekman, daughter of the former banker, had the windows restored a few years ago. O.S.

Cancer now strikes one Amer ican in every four, two families out of three, the American Can cer society states. Even though the riddle of cancer remains un solved, tens of thousands of lives can be saved annually from this cruel disease. The society states that it is merely a matter of early detection. "For every cancer patient now being cured, another dies need lessly because treatment was begun too late," the society states. "In other words, through earlier detection, cancer cure rates in the United States could be doubled. "Methods of treatment of can cer have improved to the point where it is now possible to cure many forms of cancer, if treat ment is begun early enough Early detection is essential to a high rate of cancer cure be cause the only curative methods now known radiation and sur gery can seldom prevail against cancer that has spread beyond the area of origin. This spread ing is the distinguishing mark of that disease. For maximum chance of cure, it must be detect ed and treated promptly before it spreads. More than 400,000 Americans alive today are proof that cancer can be cured.
