In May of that year 10 phy sicians and five lay persons met and formed the ACS in New York City. Purpose of the group was to spread knowledge of the disease, investigate methods of treatment and compile statistics. The main effort of the group was to educate the medical pro fession with regard to cancer, he siid, and it was believed that the key to cancer control lay with the doctors and scientists. In 1933, public ignorance and fear were the primary targets of the educational program of ACS, and a comprehensive public edu cational program was started, Dr. Lawson said. In 1934, the organization was incorporated and enlarged to cover the entire nation. At that time there was equal representation between ky people and medical person nel, and a broad and intensive research program was under taken. 0Zrxell Circle Plans $Wng Thursday Troxell Circle 2, Women's Fel lowship of First Christian church will meet at the home of Mrs. B. ft Ford, 176 Perrydale ave nue, Thursday, March 28.
