. 'Governor Names April Cancer Control Month Although cancer continues to be one of man's crudest enemies, considerable con-siderable progress is being made in cancer control. The death rate among women is declining, and among men with the exception of lung cancer the death rate is leveling lev-eling off. Only by vigorous effort upon the part of the public, government, medicine, and science can this progress pro-gress be continued and cancer be brought under control. In cooperation with the American Ameri-can Cancer Society, whose programs pro-grams of research, education, and service have been instrumental in the cancer fight, I am designating the month of April as: Cancer Control Month in Utah, and I urge all people to support the American Ameri-can Cancer Society crusade and to take advantage of the opportunities opportun-ities during the month to learn more about the work being done to control this dread disease. Signed: J. Bracken Lee, . Governor, of Utah.
