CANCER CRUSADE REPORT
Total Delaware Contributions For
Year 1858 is S92,092.46

The total contributions to the
the 1858 Delaware Cancer Crusade
came to S92, 2,092.46, it was reported
by Lloyd R. Leslie, Crusade Chair
man, who pointed out the amount
is the largest ever realized in any
Delaware Cancer Drive. The goal
of the 1858 campaign was $4,000,
and the amount contributed by the
people of Delaware amounted to
1916 percent of the state goal. The
officials of the Delaware Division,
American Cancer Society, are Of
course highly gratified at the tre-
mendous and generous response
that Delawareans made to this
years Crusade appeal. THE funds
contributed will all be put direct
ly into the fight to control cancer,
Mr.. Leslie declared. 1--WE feel that
the drive was just as successful in
its educational aspect as it was its
financial side. In fact the record
amount contributed came from
greater number of people than ever
before participated in a Delaware
Cancer Crusade and this in itself
shows the growing consciousness
of the cancer problem and of the
need for action. 1 want to thank
every individual who contributed
to the Crusade and also every per-
son who served as a volunteer
worker in this years record drive"
