Are you the man that wrote the State Board of Health? “Dear Sir; I apologize for not giving to the Cancer Drive in years gone by. I thought it was just another drive and When 1 was approached, I al-' ways used the excuse. I don't have the money to spare. Last week we lost our brother with Cancer. I want to help others now because I failed my own brother. Sincerely. Bill.” If you are “Bill” please send in your contribution to Mrs. Duvid Ringer. Campaign Trea"’”- r. New berry, S. C. The contribution ot ‘ 7p three vital phases of the Societv's Can cer Control program is education, research and service to patients. It is dependent on the success of the 1954 crusade.
