PLEASE BE ON TIMEI EDITORIALS American Cancer Society crusade The American Cancer Society has repeatedly pointed out that cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence. Far from it. It is, in fact, one of the most curable of the major diseases. Yet the Society also points out that more than 100,000 Americans, who might have been cured, will die of cancer this year. If their disease had been diagnosed and treated in time, chances are they would be alive and well. Why wont they be? Many perhaps mostof them have doubtless heard of the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Thanks largely to the cooperation of the nations press, the Society has been able to bring its message to the attention of a big percentage of the American people. Great numbers of people know that something should and can be done about cancer. They have gotten the message." The trouble is, too often they dont act f on it. It is not only the annual physical checkup which is involved, of course. Knowledge of the Seven Warning Signals, and the taking of a few elementary precautions can Avoidance of cigalso be arettes and the wearing of light, protective clothing when exposed to the sun for long periods can actually prevent cancer, of the lung and skin respectively. What is at the heart of the matter is obviously not so much a communications The Societys gap as an action gap. messages of sense and safety are reaching millions but all too many of us arent life-save- rs. really listening. The American Cancer Society needs your support to do its job: a job it is doing magnificently well on its part. But the other half of the job is ours: to act on the knowledge given us. No one else can force us to. Saving our lives begins with us. life-savi- a THE PAYSON CHRONICLE Thursday, March 12, 1970 i Letter to the Elected A TO THE Payson City! Why? Why LETTERS of doesnt Payson Citys trucks and Polynesian evening and equipment employees have enough work to do For the city? Why do I see the trucks, loader and, at least, three employees working on private property, for Private Concerns? Why do the people in the city Ask the city to come to their property to do work? Why doesnt the City do the work that they are designed to do? Gentlemen, you who are elected, are you sure that you are acting in the best interest of the citizenry when you permit the equipment and men of the city to do work, Not for the Public, but for a few individuals in our city. Come On! Let the city do the work of the city. There are those in our city who try to make a living by doing the work you permit to be done by the city crews on private property. Joe Lynn Spencer EDITOR Gentlemen, receive the Payson Chronicle about two months after publication so my comments here will have no affect on the present season. But the problem is bigger than just one year or one team. I read with interest and disgust Mr. Cella remarks in the January 8 edition of the Chronicle. Although some of the things he said were justified, the majority of his remarks sounds like those made by a typical Payson basketball fan every time he thinks jump ball, all that comes out is the line blocking for a 31 trap. If Mr. Celia will kindly check the records he will discover that every great basketball player Payson has ever had has also been a great football player or at least that is the case since Ive been around. , As a case in point, take the team I know best, the one I played with. All region ends (2), all region guard, all state defensive safety, and tackle made up our starting five. That was football season 67. Now you might say, But the basketball team that year was only mediocre. True the record was mediocre. But nobody remembers what we did as juniors, sophos; and we were mores, and playing the same teams we played as seniors. The fact is, that after football 67, there was no more football season to get ready for. So the majority of the basketball team showed up at practice every day to preserve their P.E, grade and thats about as far as it went. Of course on Friday and Saturday night everybody gave it their all nobody likes to lose. But apparently they didnt dislike it enough to do something about it, like stop backbiting the coach, observe training rules, think basketball. I am accusing no individual, on this years team or the one I played with of anything. But (if this gets printed) when you read this guys, look in the mirror and think about it for a while. One other thing I might mention, basket- I ninth-grader- ' ball fans, does Payson really have very many real fans. Oh, there are plenty of the typical ones, as has already been mentioned, and I know and am thankful for a few I can think of. But where is everybody else? Sure you say, If they ever won Look at it this way, if wed come out. you ever come out, theyd probably win. Its kind of tough to play a good game when what few cheers you do hear echo off the wall three times. Somebodys got to make the first move. Ive heard a lot of talk about how coach Worthen ought to quit. If he should, there is only one reason Payson doesnt deserve him as a basketball coach. The only mistake he ever made was trying to coach basketball in a gymnasium with chalk lines and yard marks. Lew Alcindor couldnt win in Payson, unless he put on a hundred pounds. Maybe coach ought to play more juniors (or even sophomores). With another football season to get ready for, they might even work up a sweat to stay in shape. , Richard Decker By Beulah G. Bradley Stake Cultural Hall was Santaquin-Tinti- c filled to capacity last Saturday evening when the Polynesian Islands Culture was beautifully portrayed in authentic singing, dancing, instrumental and narration. The Stake Elders Quorums headed by Don Franks, Archie Alexander and Frank Gar- ner were in charge of the entertainment spectacular, with funds to be used to promote special Quorum projects. The BYU Polynesian Club, with Andrew J. Bird as president, presented the full lively and colorful evening entertainment which included marvelous vocal and instrumental application of the delightful customs and cultures of the lovely island people. Ancient dancers of the groups were renditions presented in such as Telling Beautiful Flowers, with male singers and guitars. Beautiful hand and body motions with the instruments of Hawaii gave the beautiful sounds of this wonderful island people. They also dedicated this number to those who celebrate song-dan- ce anniversaries. One number, Beyond the Rainbow was dedicated to retuned LDS missionaries. Another fine one was the Tongan Culture in native dance with drums. Depicted also were the Tongan Travel Dance and the T Spear Dance preparing their men for war with its vibrations to work men into warring moods. The lovely people of New Zealand (Land of Long White Cloud) presented their traditional dance which was one of the numbers presented at their LDS Church Culture Center opening. The Dance to The Samoan Love Song" the Canoes, and their Slap Dance (dance of the mosquitoes) as well as their Samoan Dance of the Knives, and the Twirling Fire on Stick were well received. The Royal Princess of Samoan Ranging Authority Dance was performed in gorgeous costumes of reds, blues, green and silver.

The complete eradication of a disease is a tremendous undertaking, Dr. Spruance declared; but the benefits to our society far outweigh any obstacles we might have to overcome. And really our biggest problem is simply getting the children to the clinics." Parents are urged to bring all children between the ages of 1 and 12 to receive the Rubella vaccine, regardless of whether or not they may have a history of having had German Measles. The clinics will be set up in central locations (usually in schools) in every section of the State. The vaccine guns will be used chiefly in the large population centers, where thousands of children must be innoculated in a short time. Complete details of clinic locations, with the days and hours they will be open will be published several times before V Day, April 11. ur I i ' ' ''' oyr s' In a Better IIS Place to Live . . .

We have scoured the entire country, said Dr. Spruance. Every gun available at that time will be obtained for use in our campaign. Use of the jet guns is the only way we can hope to achieve our goal of innoculating 254,000 children, during the two-da- y drive, he continued. This new method is very fast, Dr. a Spruance explained.
