Public education programs
received about 16 percent or
$11.3 million. The emphasis is
on impressing upon the
American people the necessity
of periodic health checkups to
discover cancer at its earliest
and most curable stage as well
as informing them about
cancer's warning signals.
Another 10 percent or
seven million dollars is devoted
to professional education.
These programs provide physi-
cians, dentists, nurses and
other medical personnel with
information on the latest
methods of detection and
treatment of cancer.
Patient and community

percent or nearly $13-million
jr easing the heavy burden
cancer imposes on its patients
and their families.
Another 21 percent, or
some $15-million, supported
fund-raising and management
of the Society's activities.
To date, the ACS has made
more than 8,000 grants for
research programs at the major
cancer centers were developed
with the aid of these grants,"
Mrs. Jesse said. “There are
now 22 eminent scientists
holding lifetime ACS profes
sorships in leading centers of
learning and research through-
out the country.”
During its history, the
ACS aided in supporting the
development of procedures like
the Pap test that has helped cut
the death toll for uterine cancer
in half in the past 25 years.
Advances in drug treatment
and radiation which is taking
Hodgkin’s Disease out of the
hopeless category were also
aided by ACS funds.
'These Figures show the
use of the ACS dollar in each
phase of the campaign to save
lives, and carry forward the
battle against cancer on
different front,” .Mrs. Jesse
said. “This combination of
research, education, and ser-
vice is produced by the money
you give to the Cancer Crusade
in this crucial war of the
American people against one of
the scourges of humankind.
Remember, ‘we want to wipe
out cancer in your lifetime.”
