MAJOR MEDICAL INSURANCE

This completely new type of coverage can pro-
tect you and your family against catastrophe,

average family in debt for years.
Major Medical works on the same principle as
your auto collision insurance. That is, you

your protection to start Then, when your
medical and hospital expenses rise above this
sum, your benefits begin paying for a large
percentage Of your remaining bill Wkle your
regular hospital policy would probably pay a
large part or all of the deductible sum.
While there are literally hundreds of health
insurance companies, Major Medical is avail

Hope 10 Top 1855 Cancer Fund Total

We hope to top last years figure of $417.10 in the 1856 campaign, said Mrs. c. A. Brewer, local unit chairman.
 Saving lives is the most i'm portant job of the American Cancer Society, Mrs. Brewer stated this week. Of the money raised during the fund cam paign which is under way this month in the Palmer area, the largest percent will remain in Alaska.
 Educating the public through literature, films and lectures, to encourage them to seek early diagnosis and treatment, is the first big step", said Mrs. Brew CT. Other services of the Can- cer Society in this field include the Professional Education Pro- gram for Alaskan doctors, den- lists and nurses, and scholar ships at the annual Refresher Course in Cancer in Portland. To date 57 doctors from Alaska have attended this course, she pointed out.
 Since Alaska has at present no treatment eentefs for radium, Xray and isotope therapy, a large percentage of local money is used to make this type of treatment available to Alaskans. With the cooperation of the pa tients' own physician and the unit chairman, the Society can help finance transportation to treatment centers in the States, and in some cases, part Of the expense of the treatments.
 We have been able to give generous aid to cancer patients in the past emphasized Mrs. Brewer, however the Juneau central office warns us that if our fund drive falls short of last years total, that service may have to be curtailed. The Pal mer area contributed S41710 last year. and we hope to top that mark in the 1856 drive, she added.
 Mrs. Brewer was appointed unit chairman for 1856, replac- ing Mrs. Stewart Durrant who spent the winter in Utah. Mrs. Durrant returned to Palmer just in time to accept the job of campaign chairman, and has been busy mailing the hundreds of personal requests for dona- tions which make up an impor- tant part of the fund drive. Both Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Durrant repeated their request that any one who does not receive such a letter send their donation to
