Show V WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER PK 14, i931 2 A -- THE READER'S DATE BOOK- - BmioIS&ot)AitirRicr American Diabetes Society Plans Ambitious Campaign to years, the American Diabetes Association has announced plans as test 5,000,000 people for diabetes in an effort to find as many possible of the estimated 1,000,000 people who have the disease without knowing it. The association, a organization whose 1,500 members are mostly doctors with a special interest in that disease, said testing will begin in most areas throughout the country the week of 7, which has been designated as Diabetes Week. November non-pro- fit 11-1- Costs of the program, which involves no public fund raising, is being met by the doctors themselves and by voluntary contributions. More than 500 county medical societies and nearly 30 state medical societies are cooperating in the campaign with the association and its affiliates. Dr. John A. Reed, secreassociation tary, reports diabetes now ranks eighth among causes of death by disease in the United States, yet is the only chronic disease for which there is a known control. A person in whom diabetes is discovered and brought under control sufficiently early usually can expect to live a full, active and useful life. Efforts will be made during Diabetes Week to make the general public as aware of diabetes as it now is of cancer, heart disease, polio, tuberculosis and some of aild the other ments. Schools and colleges, industrial plants, unions, service clubs, veterans organizations, womens clubs and religious groups will participate in the campaign. It Isnt generally known that both Bill Talbot and Hamilton Richardson, Davis Cup tennis champions, both have diabetes. Whatever your profession, trade or business, you can carry on a normal life like Talbot and Richardson if and this is a big if you discover it in time and bring it under control. Diabetes Week offers the home towns of the country an opportunity to participate in a promotion week that can have as far reaching widely-publicize- results as cancer, heart, polio or tuberculosis drives. 1 I i this last year and of 1950 when no savings were '. ; O The saving is explained by fact that while disposable personal income expanded, personal sumption expenditures remained same preceding con- quarter.
