One Day Cancer Drive
Sunday, April 25th has been designated as the 1954 one-day crusade to conquer cancer.
The four-hour drive for funds between 1:00 and 5:00 p. m. in East Cleveland will be in charge of co-chairman Mrs. William E. Forsythe, 2117 Mt. Vernon blvd. and Mrs. Stanley Salter, 15811 Oakhill rd.
Mrs. Sherman F. Fromer, 1516 Hillcrest rd., will serve as vice-chairman.
Assisting in the house-to-house drive for the American Cancer Society will be Mrs. P. H. Fallaghn, 1845 Marloes; Mrs. Steve Taylor, 15903 Brewster rd.; Mrs. Joseph Prevatil, 1746 Shaw ave.; Mrs. Allen Armstrong, 1093 Carlyon rd.; Mrs. Lyle Rick, 1868 Rosalind, and Mrs. Gerald Henry, 1849 Rosalind.
Cuyahoga County is aiming for a $475,000 goal, the sum necessary to carry out the local service and education program and meet its share of the national research program.
Mrs. Forsythe said last year the Society dispensed more than a half million free cancer dressings and hundreds of items of sick-room equipment, home calls and furnished transportation to and from hospitals.
Cancer has taken the lives of more than 2,400 Greater Clevelanders since last April. "The statistics are indeed grim," said Mrs. Forsythe, "but there is a ray of hope. Research programs of the American Cancer Society are making slow but steady progress against the disease. Much can be done today that could not have been done six years ago."
The Cuyahoga County Unit of the American Cancer Society is located at 337 The Arcade. Persons wishing to be aided by the Society are invited to visit Headquarters or call CH. 1-1177.
Lee C. Howley, general counsel of the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. is county campaign chairman.
