APRIL AS CANCER
MONTH

MONTH
WASHINGTON President

as Cancer Control Month. He
urged Americans to unite in eff
forts to stamp out the disease
which claims 100000 lives a
year and threatens millions more
in the future.
The proclamation said the con-
quest of cancer depends upon Wig
orous programs of medical re-
search and public education.
Progress in these fields already
has increased the rate of survival
of cancer victims Significantly,
he said. adding that continued
public support, encouragement
and cooperation Is needed.
