Show One Million Fund Raisers Prepare For ACS Campaign More than one million volunteers volun-teers will spring into action on "C Day," April 1, when the 1950 Cancer Crusade launches a double objective drive for cancer can-cer control. Under command of national campaign chairman Major General Gen-eral William J. Donovan, former form-er chief of the Office of Strategic Strate-gic Services, volunteers in- all the 61 divisions of the Society are planning the most extensive attack ever launched against cancer. The first objective is a goal of $14,565,000 to finance the work of the American Cancer Society So-ciety in its numerous activities, including research on more than 280 projects. The second great objective, and one which General Donovan Dono-van describes as equally important, impor-tant, is the alerting of a maximum max-imum number of people to cancer's can-cer's danger signals. "During April, Cancer Control Con-trol Month," General Donovan said, "the whole nation should be made cancer-conscious. During Dur-ing the coming year an estimated estimat-ed 350,000 Americans will get cancer." |
