Cancer Campaign Announcement of the appoint ment of R. Ralph Benson, Pro vo insurance man, as chairman of the American Cancer Society's Central Utah County Unit was made today by Walter M. Jones, Utah division president. The president said that the aim of the cancer unit is to con duct year-roupublic education programs, to offer service to cancer patients, and to plan and assist the annual Cancer Crusade in April. The society's immediate educational program, Mr. Jones said, is based on the fact that cancers of the skin, lung, uterus, colon and rectum, breast, and oral cavity account for over 60 per cent of all cancer cases agnosed, and almost 48 per cent of all cancer deaths. With early detection and treatment a large number of these cancer cases could be prevented entirely by taking certain precautionary measures, he said. With present day medical knowledge, much of it resulting from research studies sponsored oj the American Cancer Society, one out of two cancer victims could be saved. As it is, only one out of three is being saved -b- ecause so many people don't know or heed cancer's danger signals, Mr. Jones said. Films, educational literature, and talks by physicians will be made available by the Central Utah County Unit. The support of press, radio, and community leaders will be enlisted In furthering this program, he said. nd 26-3- 0; 30-2- 32-3- company are filled by the follow i n Commander, Capt.
