Since April of last year when
Cancer Month was observed
several local people.have been
victims of this disease. Others
attacked are alive, some
because they were treated In
time, others being fortunate In
that the malady was not Internal
and therefore difficult or
Impossible! to deal with. These
cases remind us that cancer is
still a problem. Great gains
have been made Against the
disease and further progress Is
Indicated.
Research has produced major
advances In recent years. Scl-
, entlsts are coming up with new
and encouraging findings. This
accounts for the feeling--as
one scientist has -wtd - - that
cancer might be conquered In
our lifetime.
The hopeful facts 'are that
this year the lives of 48,000
people will be saved from can -
cer--people who would have
died of the disease had they
developed It a decade ago. An-
other hopeful fact Is that half
of those who develop cancer In
any year can he saved If the'
disease Is diagnosed early and
treated promptly.
We are saving only one out of
ed prestige to the ancient cities
where they were located. One of
the most famous of these cen-
ters of knowledge was the
library at Alexandria. Every
civilised country 16 the world
lists among its assets public
libraries. The largest and one
of-tiie most famous Is the Libr-
ary of Congress In Washington.
