Rusty Dow recently received
mention in the Chicago Sur.
Times column, “No Man’s Land.” :
The columnist, Betty Walker re
cently made a tour through Alas

Teturn to that city. In speaking
of Alaskan women and their ac
complishments Miss Walker said:
'‘There’s also “Rusty” Dow, an
artist now living on the road to
Palmer, who drove trucks on the
Alcan Highway during the war.”
Many other Alaskan women were
mentioned in her column which j
ended with: “Alaska may be a
man’s country, but the women j
run it.”
SUTTON CHURCH
TO HOLD PICNIC
Following the Sunday morn
ing services at Sutton Commun
ity Church, all church members
•and their families have been in
vited to attend the annual pic
nic being sponsored by the Dor
cas club.
The site of the annual picnic
has been tentatively announced
as Barry’s Lake. However, in
order not to conflict with the
Little League party planned on
that same date, the picnic area
may be changed. Final announce
ment will be made during church.
Cancer Fund Returns
Slow; Campaign to
Close Next Week
Total collections in the Can
cer Campaign held last year ex
ceeded $400, Mrs. Catherine Wil
son said this week. This year,
she added, we have not yet reach
ed the half way mark to that
figure and have but one week
left in the campaign.
The sum of $171.00 has come in
so far this year, she said. Many
individuals will perhaps be re
minded, by this announcement,
that the campaign is drawing to
a close and send in their contri
butions.
Scientists in cancer research
are working on a thousand and
one different problems.
The hardest of all is cancer in
children, Mrs. Wilson pointed out.
Cure rates for most kinds of chil
dren’s cancers—as those of the
bone, muscle or nerve,' eye, kid
ney and genitourinany system
are such that parents should not
despair on learning that a child
has cancer. Dismal as the pros
pects are, enough of these can
cers are being cured by surgery
and.x-ray to justify some hope.
Scientists—aided by American
Cancer Society research grants—
laboriously are tracing the effect
of various acids, compounds and
recently isolated hormones on the
chemistry of cancer. Hundreds of
scientists are working on various
aspects of children’s cancers. Any
one of them might change the
somber picture.
By giving to the American Can
cer Society, Mrs. Wilson said, we
are all doing our part to futher
the education of these men and
help them in their advance of the
field of learning.
Part of the funds collected lo
cally will be used during the
next year to help those who may
require assistance. All persons
who have not mailed their, contri
butions are asked to get them in
the mail this week if possible.

property. His request also includ
ed an acceptance by the city of
a street that he wishes to dedi
cate to the ctiy. No definite ac
tion was taken at the meeting.
Meiers
Because water meters on hand
are of the % inch size, it is im
possible to install them in busi
ness establishments immediately,
it was announced at the meeting.
However, the council did go on
record as approving the installa
tion of water meters in all busi
ness places and commercial es
tablishments in the city as soon
as the meters are available. The
installations will be made by Ted
Buzby who was recently hired by
the city for work with the water
distribution department.
Asks Sidewalk Permit
Steve Ward has requested per
mission to construct a six-foot
sidewalk in fi'ont of his building.
The request was referred to the
Planning Commission when it
was brought out that if the city
would give him permission to do
so, he would extend the sidewalk
at his own expense another four
feet. These four feet would be on
city property.
