Religious Educators
 Pick Harold Stassen
Minnesota Governor Named International Council
 President; Succeeds J. L. Kraft, Industrialist

Election of Governor Harold E StaSsen of Minnesota as president oi the International Council Educa- ton has been announced in Chicago by Dr. Roy Roy c. Ross, general secretary of the council,
 Long active in Christian service, Governor StasSen was a logical choice for the presidency of this internominational organiZa tion which is composed of more than 70 denominations representing 90 per cent of the Protestant churches in America.
 Governor StaSsen succeeds J, L. Kraft, Chicago industrialist. who has served as acting president since the death of Russell Colgate of New York. Mir. Colgate, one of the na- tion's leading e:lurchmen, had Serv. ed as president Of the council for l; years.
 Just now, more than ever before we have need of an extensive pro- gram of religious education Gov ernor Stassen stated when advised Of his appointment As I see it, there are five things which We must have and do if we are ever hope for worldwide freedom"
 First, we must maintain the freedom of religious truth. We must make that truth the basis for the human freedom and the highest human achievement,
 Second, we must realize that serv- ing the common good is one of the great responsibilities of freedom. Those men who would be leaders must willingly be servants Of all, All of Us mus: be ready to do for others what we would like to have

State Cancer Job
 Reports Progress
Increased Use of Facilities Noted; Treatment Effected
 on Larger Scale Than Ever Before

According to Connecticut records. the life span of cancer patients is increasing steadily with the appli- cation of scientific knowledge. In l940 the average age reached by cancer patients was 64 years as com pared with 605 years ir 1920. The only other disease that effects mere people is heart disease.
 One important line of defense against cancer is largely a matter of individual responsibility. the speakers emphasized. Prevention of chronic irTitations, prompt medical care of suspicious lesions. diagnosis and adequate treatment applied at the earliest possible stage of the disease are essential to effective con- trol. This requires that the in dividual go to physician as soon as he notices that he is less well than usual or that he has an ab- normal appearance. The state has excellent facilities for this purpose Modern equipment ard specially trained men now make possible tEe adequate treatment of cancer to a greater extent than ever before.

l them do for us,

them do for us,
 Third, through our religious teaching we must create homes m which freedom is prac,iee6-in which love rules. Only such homes will produce in our citizens of tomorrow the characters which are in6iSpen- sable to a free democratic society,
 Fourth, We must make ourselves responsible for seeing that each lo- cal community becomes a lahoga- tory for the working out of the ideals or freedom and democracy,
 Lastly, we must make sure that worldwide freedom is based on the religious concept of personality, We must respect the rights and liberties of all peoples and all groups, what- ever their race, color or creed,
 If our people will accept re- sponSibility for carrying out these five things" he added, If we can match our all-out effort with an accelerated program of religious education, such as the United Chris tian Education Advance, We shall have gone far toward laying lasting OA AACN0O4Al>
 In making the announcement of Governor StaSSen'S appointment, Dr, Ross stated that devotion to re- ligious causes is an integral part of Governor StsSSeniS program and time for service to the church is regularly allocated in his schedule,
 During his college years at the University of Minnesota, Governor StaSsen was active in student re- ligiouS work, Now he is a member and regular attendant at the River view Baptist church and Sunday school in St. Paul.
 He served as president of the Northern Baptist convention for the term l9ll-42. For several years he has assisted the International Coun- cil Of Religious Education in its public relations program and was elected to the governing body of the Council last year.
 When Governor StaSSen was elected for a third term as governor of Minnesota, it was with the un- derstan6ing that he would enter ac- tive service in the Navy next spring, At present he is lieutenant com mander in the United States Naval Reserve.
 The International Council has agreed to make other provision for his duties as president when his service in the Navy makes it neces- Sary.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-11-23

Records accumulated over a period of years indicate the program to control cancer in Connecticut is progressing, Matthew H. Griswold, M. D., chief, and Eleanor Mac donald, research Statistician, Di- vision of Cancer Research of the State Department of Health, point cd out Saturday evening in radio discussion sponsored by the Medical Information Bureau of the Hartford Medical society and the Hartford County Medical association.
 The insidious nature of cancer reduces the likelihood of spectacu- lar success against the disease from year to year. It was disclosed. how ever, that treatment is being ef- fected on a larger scale than ever before. Hospitalization of cancer cases has increased 63 per cent since 1885 when the Connecticut Cancer Control program was inaugurated. In 194l. over 5000 cancer cases hospitalized throughout the state. Nearly 300 of these were between the ages of twenty and thirty mine. slightly more males than females. Over HOO were between the ages of forty and sixty. Fifty cases were under twenty years of age. With present knowledge, about TOO of these individuals can be cured and enabled to carry on normal activi- ties.
 Records from one of the largest hospitals, where an active tumor clinic has been conducted for over ten years, show that the average de- lay ftom symptoms to treatment during the past few years has been about six months. As soon as in- dividuals become more aware of their responsibility and seek medical advice earlier, there should be a substantial increase in the number of cancer cases cured or prevented.
 Systematic collection of cancer ase records from hospitals has been in progress over a year. Nearly twenty thousand of the completed records are now in the central files where they are being carefully an- alyzed. From this statewide source. the i'll scope of the work in cancer by physicians. hospitals, and the in- terested public is being studied as a means of effecting progressive tni- provement in the Connecticut Cam cer Program.
