Laura Betts of Payson, a licensed practical nurse at Mountain View Hospital and Crusade area chairman of the American Cancer Society, said there is a definite link between eating habits and incidence of cancer, and the pamphlet gives details on what families can do to have a healthier life. "Diet is suspected as an important cause of as much as 35 percent of all cancer deaths, and research continues to uncover more information on which foods may help reduce caricer risks," she pointed out. The pamphlet being distributed during die Cancer Crusade also lists how families can fight cancer through diet: 1 Watch your weight; 2 Cut down on total fat intake; Eat more high-fibfoods; 4 Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C, and choose more cabbage-famil- y alcohol if you drink; 6-- Eat d, less vegetables (some are also high in vitamin A or C); foods. smoked, and nitrite-cure- d "Funds donated during the Crusade will be used for a variety of programs sponsored by ACS," Betts said. "These include public education, research, patient services, community services, and professional education. Only eight percent is spent on management and general costs." Funds going to research help in finding new cures through highly trained scientists and laboratory facilities throughout the United States, she said. More than $86 million was allocated by ACS for cancer research in 769 university and other research facilities last year. 3-- er imit salt-cure- Sophomore Baseball Team Report "We just need to put a whole game together," said PHS Sophomore Baseball Coach Chad Beck after his team returned from Las Vegas with two losses then lost on Monday in a squeaker to Lehi.
