A list of the five movies is as follows: "Warning Shadow" True documentary of the first surgeon sur-geon who performed a lung cancer can-cer operation in 1933. "Breast Self-Examination" (for women only) This shows with restraint and good taste how to perform a simple examination to detect early symptoms of this type of the disease. "Man Alive" A technicolor, animated cartoon picture, which in a warm, human way demonstrates demon-strates the lack of good sense behind the wrong reaction to the fear of cancer. "The Traitor Within" It re veals in full color how normal cells function, how cancer cells develop, their uncontrolled growth, and how they spread to other parts of the body. "Crusade" A color film; it tells the whole stirring story of the ACS battle and the fronts on which It is being waged. Spencer Spen-cer Tracy Is the commentator. The fund-raising campaign throughout the nation will get under way on April 1 and a quo-to quo-to of $1500 for Iron County has been set, Miss Rollo said. The money raised will be used to carry on the integrated program pro-gram of education, research, and service to patients. Figures reveal that lung cancer, can-cer, particularly among men over 45 has registered an increase of 411 per cent since 1930; 50,000 women in the United States will develop cancer of the breast this year. "Everything is not bleak, however," how-ever," she said. "Some 75.000 Americans will be saved from dying of cancer and many more could be saved If everyone knew the facts about this disease. These motion pictures are designed design-ed toward that end. They will give new hope and assurance to many, and they will amply illustrate il-lustrate why the ACS will seek $24 million next month." |
