G. L. Caraway Cites Efforts In Search For Cancer Cure “It could be a gift of the United States to mankind,” said George L. Caraway in announcing that the theme of the 1971 Cancer Crusade will be, “We want to wipe out cancer in your life time.” Mr. Caraway, manager of warehous- GEORGE L. CARAWAY Cancer Society President ing and customer service at the Fieldale Towel Mill, is president of the Martins- ville-Henry County chapter of the American Cancer Society. He attended a Crusade conference in Richmond at which the proposed ad ditional federal funds for cancer re search were discussed. “Since President Nixon’s announce ment that he will ask Congress for an additional $100 million for an intensive effort to conquer cancer, this good news has been welcomed by our local chap ter and American Cancer Society groups all over the country,” Mr. Caraway said. He pointed out that plans for the cre ation of a multi-million-dollar Cancer Research Institute in Richmond, to be financed by private funds, have recent ly been revealed. Virginia’s Lt. Gov. T. Sargent Rey nolds (recently hospitalized for brain tumor) is one of the principal support ers, Mr. Caraway said. The research institute would be the only facility for basic research into can cer between Baltimore and Houston. Once it is established, it will be eligi ble to receive federal funds for research. Fieldale Towel Mill employees and other citizens of the Fieldale area are a major supporter of the local Cancer Crusade through their contributions to the Fieldale Community Fund.
