dents were to open today and con-
tinue throughout the month at seven
hospitals in line with President Tru-
mans proclamation naming April as
National Cancer Control Month.
DR.. George G. Rutland, District
health officer, urged all citizens to
visit the hospitals for check ups. He
stressed the fact that delay in dis
covery and treatment of the disease
too often proves disastrous, while
many cases detected early can be
cured.
He said cancer caused 1870 deaths
here last year and was outranked
ouly by heart disease as a cause of
death.

ITO be strong, we must necessar-
lily be healthy" the Chief of Staff
said, land cancer presents a terrible
challenge to our national health"
Opening the national campaign,
Eric Johnston, drive chairman, last
night asked the American people for
$12,000,000 to fight the disease,
which, he said, claimed life every
three minutes
At New York dinner, Mr.. john
ston said $3,0O0,O0O of the sum would
be used to develop a research pro-
gram. OF the remainder, he de-
clared, S7,200,000 would be retained
by State and city divisions for local
programs, s1,080,000 for a Nation

Caution Urged on Drivers
When Traffic Liqhts Fail

The failure of electric bulbs in
traffic signals makes it necessary for
local motorists to observe extra eau
ton in crossing streets where the
lights may be temporarily out. of
order, Acting Traffic Director M. o.
Eldridge warned today.
Director Eldridge reported that
each day between 20 and 25 of the
5000 bulbs in daily use in the city
become defective. In the past, he
said, efforts were made to replace
these bulbs before they failed but
inability to obtain an adequate sup
ply of requirements has greatly cur
tailed this program. The high per-
centage of burned-out bulbs each
day may result in an increase in
intersection collision unless addi-
tional precautions are taken by mo-
torists, Director Eldridge said.
