We Guarantee the Fairest Price in Town NYE DRUG STATE DIRECTOR KICKS OFF '63 CANCER CRUSADE mo ' h \ iti; Thomas Babb, the new executive director of the Illinois division, American Cancer society, was scheduled as guest speaker at the kick-off meeting of the McHenry county chapter Cancer Crusade April 17, at the V.F.W. home in Woodstock at 6:30 p.m. More than fifty volunteers from throughout McHenry county, as well as representatives from the area newspapers and radio stations were invited to attend the meeting. Roger Reichert of Crystal Lake is Crusade chairman. Again this year, the society will emphasize "To Cure More, Give More" and "Fight Cancer with a Checkup and a Cheek." - With more than 1,200,000 Americans now alive cured of cancer, and the prospect of saving many more lives, Reichert predicts a very successful 1963 Crusade. "The public is becoming increasingly aware of the urgency of the cancer problem and that something can be done about it," Mr. Reichert said. "In 1963, at least 44,000 men and women will be saved who would have been lost to cancer had they developed the disease ten years ago." Mr. Reichert pointed out that while it is now possible to save at least one out of every two of those who develop cancer, only one of three is being saved. "If present rates continue," he said, "about 88,000 men, women and children will die of cancer this year who PUBLIC AID ' . CASELOAD Ilf ; COUNTY GIVEN Public Assistance inTffifioU rose in February for the third successive month, but at a considerably slower rate. The increase in February totaled 3,674 persons or .8 per cent as compared with 13,690 or 3.2 ner cent in January, Harold O. Swank, executive secretary of !!u; Iillinois Public Aid commis- <"<>n, has reported. The Major rea.se, according to Swank, » curred in the unemployed <;tion of the Aid to Dependent ildren program. Swank said recipients of all six programs totaled 447,- 926 in February, 15,897 persons below the February 1962 load of 463,823. The January 1963 caseload was 444,252. The caseload for McHenry county was as follows: Total, all programs, 858, $33,27J5; old age assistance, 198, $13,530; aid to dependent children, 220, $8,152; blind assistance, 2, $129; disability assista n c e , 1 5 , $ 7 7 2 ; g e n e r a l assistance, 423, $10,692. There are thousands of reasons why women dress as they do -- men. might have been saved by earlier diagnosis and prompt treatment." Because of the unnecessary loss of life, Mr. Reichert said, "the first goal of the 1963 Crusade will be to get more people to doctors in time for early treatment. An annual health checkup is a person's best protection against death from cancer." The second goal of the 1963 Crusade, Mr. Reichert said, "will be more much needed money for research. Only through research can we hope eventually to save the one half of these who develop cancer who can not be saved. There is new hope in the scientific community that cancer can be eliminated as a threat to life. New knowledge of cancer is piling up at a rapid date." Mr. Reichert said that Increased funds are greatly needed to keep this knowledge building toward eventual solution of the cancer problem.
