Mr. Hanks served the City of Salem as Mayor from 1950 to 1958 and was a member of the city council prior to that. While Mayor, he organized and bought the first fire equipment Salem ever had.

Cancer Fund has no connection with United Fund A statement was issued Tuesday by volunteer leaders of the American Cancer Society explaining why there is no connection between the April Cancer Crusade and the Health Foundation of the Utah County United Fund. Ralph J. Hill, Salt Lake City, state chairman of the Cancer Crusade, said the national policy of the Cancer Society prevents local units from joining United Funds or Community Chests. Chief reason for this policy, he explained, is the educational programs conducted by ACS volunteers which would be jeopardized if local units were to affiliate with the United Fund. Moreover, he asserted that the amount of funds raised to fight cancer would undoubtedly suffer without the intensive nationwide campaign conducted by the society. The importance of this effort is underlined by the fact that cancer is the nations number two killer. One person in every four now living will some day have cancer. Two out of three of them will die. No family is immune from the ravages of this cruel disease. The Health Foundation of the United Fund does not represent the American Cancer Society, Mr. Hill said. The ACS does not accept funds from this source, he said, but relies on the annual April Cancer Crusade for its revenue. Claudius Stevenson, chairman of the South Utah County unit of the ACS, said that some confusion had been apparent in the minds of some citizens in the county area. life-savi- ng Firemen re-elect- ion A campaign to beautify the Pavson area will be started in a public meeting scheduled for Monday, May 9, 8 p.m., at the Payson Junior High School, to be followed by a full week, May 1, when citizens will be urged to improve their property through a program of cleaning and planting.
