Heads Cancer
Crusade In Alaska
The Rev. R. Holland Armstrong,
field representative for Alaska of
the Board of National Missions of
the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, has accepted the
Territorial Chairmanship for the
Cancer Crusade in Alaska. This
according to announcement made
today by Mildred R. Hermann,
commander of the Alaska Divi
sion of the American Cancer So
ciety. Mr. Armstrong’s selection
and acceptance was secured by a
committee appointed from the
board of directors composed of
B. Frank Heintzleman, George
Danner and Mrs. Donald Morri
son.
“We are deeply gratified by Mr.
Armstrong’s acceptance of this
important post” Mrs. 4iermann
said. “His wide acquaintance in
the Territory, his previous service
on the Territorial Board of Health
Rev. R. Rolland Armstrong
as well as his recognized ability
and the esteem in which he is
generally held make him an ideal
choice for this important position.
We have great hopes for the Can
cer Crusade under his guidance.”
April, Mrs. Hermann points
out, has been designated by Act
of Congress as Cancer Control
month. The Alaska Division will
start its Crusade in April, but ex
pects to do most of the heavy
work in May, she added. The sea
sonal work in many Alaska Com
munities plus the added fact that
the drive for the Alaska Crippled
Children’s Association was on un
til after Easter, has influenced
this pokey, she said.
“In suite of the fact that Con
gress has set aside April as Can
cer Control month” she stated,
“we are extremely reluctant to in
fringe upon the time set locally
for other drives.”
“The Alaska Division of the
American Cancer Society is the
only agency working on a Cancer
Control program that is permitted
to keep a portion of the funds
raised by it in Alaska” Mrs. Her
mann said. “Sixty percent of all
money collected remains in the
Territory to be expended for the
primary benefit of Alaskans. We
haven’t yet raised funds sufficient
to enable us to hospitalize cancer
patients, but we have made real
progress in our educational pro
gram. which has now been ex
tended into 175 communities. The
results of our crusade this year
will determine to what extent we
can help cancer patients, but we
are gradually accomplishing our
major objective—teaching Alas
kans to recognize cancer’s 7 dan
ger signals before it is too late.’
