Orso, is shown with Bill Tammeus, 1967 Cancer Crusad© chairman. ' Wanted: An Army of 500 to chairmen; now he needs workcarry out a two-fold campaign. The Army will carry a message of hope-and an invitation for financial help in the 1967 McHenry County Cancer Crusade. Normally held in April, the Cancer Crusade will not start until the last half of the month. Two important referendums of prime concern to citizens are scheduled early in April, Bill Tammeus, Cancer Crusade chairman, said this week. However, Tammeus is forming the Army now and seeks volunteers in every county community. Most areas now have ers, people to distribute informational literature on ways to whip cancer and showing how the Seven Danger Signals can be used successfully by all careful citizens. Studying the needs of the ACS and McHenry county population charts, Tammeus has established a 1967 Cancer Crusade goal of $27,790. Tammeus studied McHenry population figures and assigned a total equal to one-third the population. He has established each township quota on a* ^imiliar basis. fthile this amount represents a slight increase over last year* goal of $21,000, it still is a mod-1 est amount to invest in the research, education of doctors and others able to aid in the fight, the education of the pub* lie with literature and other informative tools. The stakes are high, svah* marized Tammeus. Applying cancer statistics locally, we can expect 430 new cases under care in McHenry county during 1967. Of that total, 150 will die of cancer. A total of 280 citizens will develop cancer during this year. Ninety-three will be saved because of advances made in research and education of the public to be alert to notice signs of cancer. Here are the township quotas, assigned as targets for workers in this effort to raise money when the Cancer Crusade begins in mid-April: Chemung, $1,800; Alden, $300; Hebron, $480; Richmond, $620; Burton, $260; Dunham, $420; Hartland, $310; Greenwood, $1,000; McHenry, $5,700; Marengo, $1,300; Seneca, $260; Dorr, $3,200; Nunda, $3,200; Riley, $270; Coral, $470; Grafton, $1,300; and Algonquin, $6,- 900. Total-$27,790. GOING TO THE FAIR? Ticket orders for entertainment attractions at the grandstand and coliseum at the 1967 Illinois State Fair will be honored after May 15 Franklin Rust, general manager of the exposition, said a meeting of state fair officials, including the auditor and ticket superintendent, had decided on the May 15 date. Orders will be filled about July 1. An increased demand and numerous inquiries as much as eight months before the fair opens prompted the new regulation on tickets, Rust said. Only modern electric heat is as clean as the sun Electric heat is unlike any other type of home heating. It> flameless--it burns no fuel, and it keeps your whole house cleaner, more comfortable. And because an electrically-heated home stays clean longer, wall washing and redecorating are kept to a minimum. With electric heat, you can pick the type of heat you want. There are 5 basic types of flameless electric heating equipment. Depending on your heating requirements, one system may be used separately, or several may be teamed together. If you're planning a new home or thinking of converting your present heating system, check into electric heat. You'll find that it's the most modern, convenient type of home heat today. And it's clean. For more information about electric heating, call our nearest office.
