The “Relationships of the Australoplt- heclnaei the Great Apes, and Man" will be traced by James N, Spuhler of the University of Michigan, while findings based on "The Snldanjrm Skull from Hopefleld, South Africa” will be detailed in a paper by Ron­ ald Singer of the University of.

Curcton, J.*., of the Uni­ versity of HJinols’ School of Phy­ sical Education, on “Physical Fit­ ness of Former Athletic Champions {Compared with Normal. Young j Men." And new hope for bald-headed men may have been found In a paper on “Scalp Thickness and the Fat-Loss Theory of Balding" which S. M. Gam, Samuel Selby and Richard Young, all of Pels Research Institute, presented. Possibly “The Increasing Body Size in Civilized Man,” by Edward E. Hunt, Jr., of the Forsyth Dental Infirmary In Boston, gave overweights a new alibi. Registration began a t 9:30 Fri­ day at FcLs.

This plognant quotation from Whittier's poetry has a tragic ap­ plication to the nationwide battle against cancer, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY In 1953, an estimated 73,000 A- merlcan cancer victims were saved by modem treatment administered in the early stages of their illness. But the sad sequel is th a t another 73,000 died from cancer who might have been cured had they received prompt, effective treat­ m ent The American Cancer Society, pioneers in the fight to conquer cancer, has geared its public edu­ cational campaign to the two-fold mission of telling Americans the most easily recognized cancer sym­ ptoms and of persuading everyone to have a regular physical check-up. We believe th a t everyone should know the seven common danger signals of cancer which the Society is stressing In Its educational prog­ ram. They are: 1. Any sore tliat does not heai. 2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. 3. Unusual bleeding or discharge. 4. Any change in a wart or mole. 5. Persistent Indigestion or diffi­ culty In swallowing. 7. Any change In normal’ bowl habits. Lest anyone feel th a t cancer is a remote threat to his or her, life, let us remember th a t America's number two killer will strike an estimated one in every five Ameri­ cans a t some time during their one was caused by cancer—the slay- lives. Of every seven deaths last year caused by cancer — the slayer th a t er that took a fatally toll In the Unlt-d States In 1953 estimated at 227,000, This Is the dark side of the pic­ ture. Byt remember th a t about half of those stricken by cancer could be saved through early diagnosis and effective treatment. Might have been cured is not much help to those who have lost a loved one. To strike out the might b are been wc most strike back a t cancer and the best way to do It is to support the American Cancer Society. Its research programs — totaling more than 129,000,000 since 1940 — already have meant much In years of life to many patients, And this brings us to the crux of this editorial message. The Society cannot carry on Its three-fold pro­ gram of public professional educa­ tion, service to patients and re* I search without adequate funds. This month has been designated Cancer Control Month during which l the Society conducts Its annual , fund-raising drive. When an ACS volunteer calls for your contribu­ tion to the'cancer crusade, we hope th a t you will open your heart and your purse, And meanwhile, why not have th a t physical check-up you may have been postponing? -------------->■—..... .........
