It is hard to believe that twice many Americans died of cancer during the than died in combat Cancer fatality statistics startling The study of its control IS one of the most expressing in medical history During the month of April extraordinary attention is to be given to the consideration and study of cancer control.
 The national control chairman Eric A. Johnston, states that American dies every three minutes of with @n annual death rate of 175000 Every American community will have duty this month Cancer Control Month to assist in the raising of $2OOOOOO for the treat ent research and education concerning this bafng d. sease It will become the special duty of every community join in the national to know about the disease and to help to combat it.
 vast program is nauguated the research work alone allotted $3000OO0 Over $100O00O will be needed for nationwide educational program And is safe to that however large the amounts for treatment and research they will not be sufficient.
 MT. Johnston has said "It's everybody's job every where in both public and private e to do all they can to fight There only two sides to this ght-cancer is on one side, all the rest of us the other"
 The increase in fatalities is shocking to many They cannot understand why the individual with much better understanding today target for the disease This is explained in part by the fact that the fespan of is Ten years ago ncreasng and today it is also increasing, though accurately diagnosed The more important thing today is not to know that IS cancer but to know WHEN it starts and HOW to cure it.
 Medical science has done wonderful things In the future treatment and study of the profession hopes to do even more wonderful things.
 That is why April has been set aside to consider these what has been designated the first fatal disease the United States.

 Admiring the engraved invitation Truman said 1t reminded him of a story he had read lew nights before.
 T was waiting up for mother (his wfe)," the President said, and started reading book on the history of The White House. One part that inter- ested me very much about the wedding of Grover Cleveland here Cleveland didn't send out formal invitations as they do now.
 "He sat down and wrote invitations to cabinet members and other friends in longhand. He must have been bear for punishment"
 Truman then reminisced with COP Congress man Bender, famed in Congress for his singing voice, about the song sessions they used to enjoy while the President was in the Senate. On these oc- casons, Truman usually provided the piano accom- paniment.
 Remember how we used to sing Bringing Tn the Sheaves'?" reminded Bender
