"This year, the ACS says it this way: Help yourself with a checkup and others with a check." Volunteer workers will be out working for this great cause, Mrs. Edwards said, "so please give all you can and let's go over the top this 1969 year." She asks that anyone who would like to give a memorial gift contact the Warren Memorial cnairman, Mrs. Lorraine Maynard.

In 1968 approximately 100,000 persons died who might have been sav ed by earlier and proper treat ment." The two strongest reasons for hope In beating back challenges by the disease, she stressed, Jr. Club To Sponsor Sunrise Service The Warrenton Junior Wo man's Club will sponsor aWar ren County Easter Sunrise Ser vice at 5:45 a. m. at the War cated approximately one mile south of Warrenton on N.

P. Hunter of the Warren County Unit of the American Cancer Society stated yester day. of cancer," Dr. Hunterpolnted out, "are somewhat like a build ing's alarm system to protect against fire or like a ship's radar to warn of danger. "The American Cancer society," he said, "urges all citizens to familiarize themselves with cancer's warning signals to help reduce the number of fatal can cer cases." Dr. Hunter explained that the survival rate from cancer to day Is one out of three cases, "but with our knowledge of the disease Increasing each year, we know that we could save one out of two, provided detection of the disease was early and the treatment prompt," he noted. Cancer's seven warning signs, according to Dr. Hunt er, are: (1) Unusual bleeding or discharge. (2) A lump or thickening in the breast or else where. (3) A sore that does not heal. (4) Change in bowel or bladder habits. (5) Hoarseness or cough. (6) Indigestion or dif ficulty in swallowing. C) Change In size or color of a wart or mole. -Should any of these signals last longer than two weeks, Dr. Hunter urged a prompt visit to the doctor. Only he can tell -if cancer Is present. In detailing the urgency for public knowledge of cancer's warning signals, Dr. Hunter pointed out that cancer begins as a localized disease. At the start, a single cell ? or per haps two or three?becomes cancerous and reproduces by dividing Into two cells. The pro cess Is repeated over and over, and If left unchecked the cells tend to spread via the lymph glands or blood vessels to other vent this spreading that prompt action must be taken once a warning sign Is discovered," Dr. Hunter stated. "Andprompt action means an immediate visit to a doctor, for the longer the cancer Is allowed freedom to spread the more dangerous the case becomes," he warned. Dr. Hunter's remarks were made as the Cancer Society launched Its 1969 Cancer Cru sade, the slogan for which is: "Help yourself with a checkup and others with a check."
