Show State Heeds $1,500 Immediately To Continue Vital Cancer Services Utah has fallen short by $1,500 of its $50,000 quota for the 1950-51 budget of the Utah Chapter of the American Cancer Can-cer Society. This has happened despite the fact that the society so-ciety annually spends more than $85,000 in Utah nearly double its quota each year in research grants, cancer medical med-ical services, and in education. For more than three years, according to Mrs. Emil de Neuf, state commander of the Utah Cancer Society, the Society has never increased its annual bud- get, despite spiralling increases in costs of equipment and service. ser-vice. It has operated on the same budget, with the same services, by increasing its economies. econ-omies. The end has been reached, reach-ed, according to Mrs. deNeuf, and any deficit in the budget must be met by reduced services ser-vices both in valuable education educa-tion and in the number of extremely ex-tremely important cancer symptom symp-tom centers which can be provided. pro-vided. To prevent the loss of valuable val-uable sevices to the state, now that it has become apparent that the Cancer drive of April will not produce the necessary sum, a supplementary push, a new appeal has been added, according ac-cording to Mrs. de Neuf. The $1,500 may be obtained, Mrs. de Neuf continued, if the public will contribute voluntarily, voluntar-ily, small sums by placing them in the mail immediately. A dollar dol-lar bill, placed in an envelope and addressed to "Cancer," Salt Lake City, will reach the office promptly. The money will be used to provide free cancer symptom clinics for the public where cancer can be discovered early and it has been proven that cancer can be cured nearly 75 per cent of the time when discovered dis-covered early, Mrs. deNeuf concluded. ,)Tt , jut - V I -r" 1 DIPLOMATIC FORAT . . .
