Fight The Criminal, Cancer!
At the present rate, one in every
eight persons is destined to die of
cancer. Even the tvord is fright
ening.
No doubt you have heard again
and again the facts concerning the
toll of deaths taken by the silent
and as yet little known disease,
but have you stopped to consider
hotv to aid in the effort toward
cancer control?
The American Cancer Society
this week is asking for funds to
continue its threefold program of
education, service, and research.
Only through national educa
tion campaigns can the general
public be enlightened as to the
facts about cancer; the early
symptoms, and the necessity for
immediate action should any of
these symptoms appear. The pub
lic must be made “cancer con
scious” if the loss of valuable
time, the vital factor in cancer
control, is to be avoided.
The service program provides
public information centers, can
cer clinics and detection centers,
and provides for home care.
Research in the treatment of
advanced cancer, still one of
science’s most baffling problems,
is supported through a long-range
program of subsidies to research
groups, and grants to universities
in order to encourage young
scientists to enter the field.
Support the society that it may
progress in its work toward con
trolling the criminal which has
become an increasing threat to
every home.
Keep Informed!

Provided with a newly painted
and furnished room at the first of
this year, they have set up com
mittees to preserve the room’s
shine. Foremost in these is the
clean-up committee under the
chairmanship of Berta Allen Rnss.
Composed of three to five girls,
this committee designated Locker
56 as the one into Avhich all arti
cles left Ij’ing around over five
minutes during the absence of the
owner are put. To retrieve the
articles the OAvner must pay ten
cents.
Mr. Seger in closing his lecture
on April 9 said, “Keep informed.”
Not being informed is a fault
of Avhich most of the students at
this school are guilty. Many of us
do not take time to read the neAvs-
papers, but Ave do listen to the
radio. Here in the United States
Ave haAm the pi’ivilege of hearing
the neAvs as it is, undiluted by
gOAmrnment officials. Whj^ not
aAmil ourselves of this opporHi-,
nity ? Fifteen minutes a day spent
in listening to the ncAvs Avill hin
der no one’s Avork, and it aauU gi\’e
us an understanding of Avhat is
taking place in the AvoiTd today.
Although this plan AAms not set
Aip to make money, the students
raised enough to buy some ash
trays . . . and for a Avhile it Avas
thought Avith the many Avandering
articles they Avould raise enough
to add an annex to the school!
IIoAvever, the locker’s funds grad
ually diminished and as a result
A'ery fcAv books haAm been lost,
ami the tables are clear for those
AAdio Avish to use them to study or
play bridge.
A committee on noise consisting
of fiA'e girls, one for each day of
the Aveek but Saturday, Avas set
up and lasts the entire jmar.
As the boarders have hall coun
cil representatiAms, so do the day
students. These representatiAms
see that everyone reports to Miss
Jones Avhen she is told to.
Behind the assembly program
that was such a success last week
was much work and practice. To
avoid interfering with school ac
tivities in the auditorium, day
students willingly agreed to come
to school at 7:30 in the morning
to practice. Many ate their
lunches as they rehearsed during
lunch period. If that isn’t co
operation what is?
To the day students the
BELLES staff extends congratu
lations for a successful year.
