Support the April Cancer Campaign Dear Friends All: I write to appeal to every citi zen of oar good county to sap port the current Cancer Cam paign. This month has been des ignated throughout our Nation as the particular time to make extrh effort to combat the in creasing Cancer Scourge. Last year 188,000 Americans died ol cancer. Yes, every time the clock ticks off three minutes, one American dies of cancer. Or, to express it another way,-one out of every eight people dying in America, has cancer. During ..World War II we l*ad 280,000 of our young men killed. in the conflict, but during the same period of time 607,000 Ameri cans died of cancer. The cost ol the War was more than one tril lion dollars for each American killed, but we spent less than two million to combat cancer whicb was less than $3.00 for each per son who perished in the throes ofv'■ ' uur county nas been asked t< raise the sum of $2,000 by the American Cancer Society as oui part of the fund* this year to as sist in the research, service and educational program now in operation through the Nation, This will be easily done if every producing citizen will make some sort of a contribution. I urge you to do just th$t. May I ask also that you take a minute to read the literature that is being distributed through the schools, the Home Demon stration Clubs and other mean; of distribution, that you may fur ther know the worthiness of the request that is here made. The committees in charge of the Campaign decided some days ago that the solicitations would begin on Thursday, April 15. Between that day and the last day of April it is our hope that every citizen will be offered the opportunity to make his contri bution to this cause. Won't you make it easy by giving your do nation with a smile. Thanking you for your coope ration and with best wishes for a successful Cancer Campaign, I am. Very sincerely yours, T. E.
