Year A Good Investment The American Cancer Society is again conducting its annual campaign for funds in this community. In considering the request for contributions, most people, it is pretty certain, will ask themselves Just how. important it is that they give to this cause. Can they also ask with justification, "I've given year after year and still we're threatened by cancer?" Each man's answer will be his own. r Our answer is based on the one word, "Hope." 4 It must be remembered that the long hard road of research re-search can turn at any moment. A look at the record of scientific achievement will demonstrate this better than any-thing any-thing else, ' The death rate from rheumatic fever declined 53 per cent between 1944 and 1950, the last year for which figures are available. Deaths from pneumonia and influenza declined 47 per cent in the same period. From 1944 to 1949 appendicitis deaths were cut 53.7 per cent nd the scarlet fever death rate dropped 70 per cent, - The over-all death rate in thU. S. was reduced 15 per cent from 1937 to 1950. This represents a saving of 1,763,347 lives. ' ' This tremendous Improvement is directly due to the development of the sulfa drugs, penicillin and other antibiotics. But these wondrous jailers of infection did not leap full blown from the minds of their creators. They were the results re-sults of many patient years of plodding investigations, i " "And so, too, can it he with cancerr- If the public can provide funds to keep the scientists at work long enough they will find the complete answers Already, half of those who develop cancer could be saved by early diagnosis and prompt treatment v More than $4,100,000 was allocated to research by the American Cancer SocietyJn 1951 JThe ACS expects to in crease the figure this year. When you are asked to give, do it with great expectations with the knowledge that cancer can be conquered and with : the ever constant hope that it will be soon! SERVICE STATION -lor . ' LEASE-.

I contimieto receive many- let ters from home expressing fear that the new administration and Congress Intend to cut out federal fed-eral aid for school lunches. This Is not true. Secretary of Agriculture Agri-culture Ezra Taft Benson this week told the House Appropriations Appropria-tions Committee that as a matter mat-ter of fact federal surplus food donations to the program next year will increase. And the Appropriations Ap-propriations Committee has indicated in-dicated that the budget for cash assistance will be somewhere be- It means a lot to me. That sav ing would pay for the cost: of Utah's two vocational schools, Snow and Carbon Colleges, the Tuberculosis Sanatorium, the School for the Deaf and Blind and the State Industrial School not for one year but for two years. The last Utah Legislature appropriated $2,342,000 to operate oper-ate these seven state Institutions during 1954 and 1955.
