pect, Shady Cove and Jackson
ville. Mrs. John Day, district com
mander of the American Cancer
society, opened the meeting. Dr.

visor of American Cancer so
ciety, was made temporary chair
man, and Robert Cunningham

ett Faber, Central Point, and

Dr. Lawson reviewed the his
tory of ACS, stating that it was
in 1913 that cancer was first
publicized as public enemy No.
1. 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.

ACS uses the funds collected,
spying that it goes to support
three basic functions, promotion
of research, education and serv
ice. The greater part of the
money is spent on research, he
raid, since the only hope of vic
tory over cancer is through re
search. Scientific research is di
rected from national headquar
ters of the ACS, and the educa
