Mrs. Schroller
Will Head
Cancer Drive
Mrs. Noel Schroller of Port-
land has been named chairman
of the San Patricio County unit
of the American Cancer
Society's 1971 educational and
fund raising crusade. The
appointment was announced by
Richard Hatch, president of the
San Patricio County Unit who
said that Mrs. Schroller had
accepted the position “because
of the high cancer statistics and
the fact that she had had cancer
in her family and most of the
families she knew.”
Mrs. Schroller in accepting
the position in this county said
that, “last year insufficient
funds hampered important
cancer research programs. The
society was overwhelmed with
requests for grants, many of
which merited scientific sup-
port but could not be funded
because of lack of money. While
ACS increased its research
expenditures, some promising
developments in the search for
the causes and treatment of
various types of cancers are
marking time.”
Mrs. Schroller brings to the
post an energetic commitment
to the fight against cancer. She
was born and raised in Dallas
but has lived in Portland off and
on for 9 years. Her husband is
part owner of Data Sciences,
Inc., of Corpus Christi. They
have three children: Kimberly
Ann. 10years old; Brian David,
7 years old; and Theresa
Dianne, 4 years old. The family
attends St. Christopher’s
Episcopal Church of Portland.
Mrs. Schroller is the immediate
past president of the San

chairman of the Republican
