The Fuller Fund, created under the will of the late Egbert c. Fuller of New Haven and Branford for the advancement of cancer research supports number of projects in this field both in the United States and in other countries. In its admins tration the trustees are assisted by Board of Scientific Advisors con- prised by Dr. George M. Smith, New Haven, Chairman, Brigadier Gen. eral Stanhope Bayne-Jones, U. s. A., Dr. Milton c. WinternitZ, New Haven and Professor E. L. Kenn- away, London, England.
 The Tumor Committee of the Staae Medical Society, established in 1883 to promote the extension of clinical resources for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, has con- tributed largely to the development of this field in Connecticut. The hospitals of the state now operate twelve approved clinics for cancer diagnosis and therapy and three for diagnosis only. The maintenance of most of these clinics is aided by funds allocated by the State Health Department under the legislative provisions of 1941.
 Along with the development of clinical facilities for cancer control, material progress in record-keeping statistical analysis, research and lay education has been acheived through the cooordinated program of the State Division of Cancer Re- search, the Connecticut Cancer So- ciety and the Women's Field Army, the Tumor Committee and its As- sociation of Tumor Clinics and through the efforts of hospitals, public health and welfare organiza- tionS. The effectiveness of this state wide program is reflected in the states cancer death rate in the last two decades, which is due in part to advances in accurate diag- nosiS, case-finding and reporting.
 Much hope for the future of can- ceP control depends on education of thS public. Until more is known about the causes of the disease, pro- greSS will be made only through early detection and prompt, ade- quNte treatment. The next logical step in the program is the setting -ur of cancer detection or case finding machinery. The generous gift from the Fuller Fund vii make 1t pos sible to put plans for this new and promising activity into action in the near future.

Schwed Chief Clerk
 In Army Pay Section
Sunlac Street Sergeant Sees That Each Enlisted Man
 in England Is Paid Each Month

A U. s. Army Port, England-An integral link in the giant chain of service organizations which follow American troops into all parts of the world, a Finance Disbursing Section attached to this United States Army port headquarters in England serves as banking insti- tuition for thousands of American soldiers overseas.
 Sergeant Alexander Schwed, son of MT. and Mrs. John E. Schwed of 9 Sumac street, Waterbury, Conn.,, is chief clerk of the enlisted mems pay section. He was formerly chief accountant for the Mccarthy Freight System in Taunton, Mass.
 One of the most important duties of this office is to see that each enlisted man and officer within its jurisdiction is paid each month. The fulfilment of this obligation does much to maintain the high morale among the troops. How ever, its additional services include a wide variety of financial aids.
 American money is exchanged for British sterling soon after new unit arrives in the United Kingdom and the procedure reversed when individuals return to the United States. The. personnel of this 'of- flee played an active part in cross Channel operations, issuing libera- tion currency to invasion troops in the marshalling areas. Servicemen arriving in the United Kingdom from other countries stop at the office to exchange the currency in their possession, such as Italian lira Algerian and Moroccan francs, h. dian rupees, Belgian francs, Dutch gilders, German marks and Gold Seal currency from North Africa.

Two Merry Widows

On the legitimate side of the
ledger we find that the Cass
and the Wilson are trying to
"out-'MGrry Widow one an
other, although there's really
very little competition.
The Merry Widow" at the
Wilson is the real deal. This is
the lovely New Opera Com
pany's production which ran for
IA months on Broadway. 1t not
only has Jan Kiepura and Wilma
Spence in the famous roles of
Prince Danilo and Sonia, but il
has, in addition, the George
Balanchine ballet with Nina
Popova and all those exotic sets
and costumes.

fans, Art McKinnon of the Re- liable Transfer. Leaving here sev- eral weeks ago to seek medical at tention and relaxation, Art went to Seattle where he found both.
 While in the Puget Sound city, he met eight oldtime ballplayers who used to play with him, in 1905, on the Optimos. Russell Fulton of Ketchikan, who happened to be in Seattle at the time, was one of them.
 The eight had reunion lun- cheon at the home of Jim Moore, one of the oldtimers. Art said Moore's wife fixed them a fine lunch but it took three days to get enough beer together. In the states it is impossible to obtain much beer at one time, and then you have to turn in the empties before you can buy a bottle.
 McKinnon witnessed several ball games while in Seattle. The best one, he said, was the game be- tween the House of David and a colored team As for betting on the World Series, Art asid he didn't make any bets. Most people wanted to bet on the Browns and q don't know why"
