Fight Against Cancer.

Local representative of the Wom-
ems Field Army, American Society
for the Control of Cancer, call atten-
ton to their drive this month for
memberships. Arrangements have
been made for accepting your dona-
tons to this worthy cause at the
Askov Variety store.
From available literature the fol-
lowing is quoted: Cancer raises
questions everyone must face; it is a
democratic disease in that anyone,
whatever his class or race or religion,
may develop it. In all, 100000 per-
sons die of this disease annually in
the United States. Perhaps one out
of seven with cancer now are being
cured. With effective cooperation,
between one-third and one-half
should be saved. OF the thirty-six
million persons now alive and over
40 years old, at least one out of every
eight will some time develop cancer"
From this statement it will readily
be understood that definite action is
essential, for the statistics reveal that
about 80 per cent of the cancer cases
are durable if detected in the early
stages.

Aid Sale A Success.

The committee in charge of the
Danish Ladies' Aid food sale Satur-
day at the town hall, made its final
report at the regular meeting yester-
day afternoon. They enjoyed fine
business all day and naturally had
neat surplus to turn in-approxi-
mately SGT. The delicious odor of
the Danish "Ebleskiver" around the
town hall was a constant attraction
for potential customers and resulted
in the sale of several hundred of them.
Inasmuch as the organization had
no immediate use for the money they
very nicely decided to give $25 to
the church to be applied on the fur
mace debt. This makes total of $225
that they have given toward the new
furnace.
