a warning that such volunteer
organizations as the Cancer

a needful area, and do a good,

nominated as a District Medi
cal liirector of the Oregon Divi
sion of the American Cancer
Society. At a meeting of Dis
trict ¿ven, held Wed. in Baker,
Di. David Sarazin of Nyssa
was nominated to serve as Dis
trict Medical Director. In this
position he will serve at both
the local and state levels. Dr.
Sarazin will replace Dr. Gus
Tanaka of Ontario who has
served in the capacity for a
number of years.
Dr. Tanaka was guest speaker
at today’s District meeting. He
pointed out several area's in
which the Cancer Society may
enlarge it’s service to the
country, and posed several
philosophical questions. Dr.
Tanaka told members of the
Cancer Society Units of Mal
heur, Banker and Union counties
one of the greatest benefits of
such a voluntary organization
is the membership itself. He
said that one of the greatest
values of the Cancer Society
is its 2 million volunteers.
These people, said Dr. Gus,
represent an awareness of the
many health problems, and the
work which remains to be done,
as well as the work which has
