Cancer Campaign
Reaches All
Time High

what seemed like fair success
to the yearly cancer campaign in
Richland county turned into firsts
on two fronts last week as the
state goal neared its quota.
Richland county reported again
to exceed all its other gains in
the campaign period and was one
of 81 counties which did this.
Special tribute goes to II coun-
ties, Richland being one of the
IL who reached an all time high.
The county quota was $1,5O7
and we have 800 or $1,469 at the
present time according to our
treasurer, Charles Evanson. This
leaves us only $4,000 short of 1909
of our quota.
Mrs. v. H. Ross, county COM
mander, thanks all the block
workers who assisted her in the
campaign. Special thanks goes to
Mrs. Soren Peterson, co-chair-
man, to c. p. Fulkerson, bust
ness chairman, to Charles Evan
son, treasurer and his helpers,
and to Mrs. Ruth Mako secretary
for the group. Special tribute goes
to Mrs. Grace Gunderson of Fair
view for her fine guidance and to
all of her workers at Fairview;
to the Crane Homemakers club,
Savage club, 8 Buttes, Girard,
Brorson and Sioux Pass Country
Women's clubs who braved bad
roads for this good cause. Mrs.
Don Lobdell of Lambert did a fine
job there also. The county super
intendent of schools and the Lii
brary assisted and the Rainbow
girls under the guidance of Mrs.
Woodrow Hall turned out a fine
job of distribution of educational
Thanks also to the 10 teams of
men who solicited the business
district, Mr.. Suckstorff for movie
shorts, Mr. Krebsbach for radio
time, and DR.. Harry Carlson as
advisor and to everyone else who
may have had a part in this 1855
cancer campaign.
Add to my personal thanks the
thank of thousands who may re-
ceive medical aid for cancer in
1855 and the research workers
who are at all times on the lob
searching for the cure to this
dread disease and we have a NIGH
ty force of humanity working for
the eradication of the disease.
Rlchland county can indeed be
proud of the near 1907 Job she
turned out this year.
