Cancer Crusade

Leads Nation
How docs the Alaska Division ol
the American Cancer Society spenc
its money?
Every nickel of the 1949-195C
budget was accounted for at tht
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Alaska Division at the Bar
anof hotel Monday night, but the
item that those present found most
interesting, most yevealing of the
good accomplished by the Cancer
Society, was the expenditure ol
$250 fund for direct service to
cancer victims.
As Mrs Mildred Hermann, com
mander of the Alaska Division ex-'
plained, only $250 was budgeted
for direct service last year because
the cancer program in the terri
tory was just getting under way
and there had been no calls for
such service the previous year.
And none this year until near
the year’s end. Then the $250 was
spent on one cancer victim. Fot
one little girl who had hart a can
cer removed from a kidney. The
operation on the child—she is only
five—was performed in Anchorage
and her physician prescribed ra
dium treatments. That required a
trip to Seattle and money for the
treatments and family funds had
been used up by the little gin's
illness. Morrison-Knudsen Com
pany provided transportation south
for the child and her mother on a
company airplane. There were rel
atives with whom the two could
live in Seattle. But it was the
$250 of the Cancer Society's fund
budgeted "direct service to cancer
victims” that provided the neces
sary life-saving radium treatments
for this small sick child.
“She will recover now, the doc
tors ray,” Mrs. Hermann told
the board members.
Next year, Mrs. Hermann said,
a greater sum will be budgeted for
direct service.
This will bf possible because the
1950-51 Cancer Crusade in Alaska
raised half again as much money
as last year, she explained.
$30,000 Raised
Total of the 1950-51 crusade will
pass $30,000. Contributions already
received amount to $23,930.54, ac
cording to the tentative report for
the drive. •

I CALIFORNIAN’S DREAM COMES
TRUE IN ALASKA VACATION
Her trip to Alaska was the real
ization of a dream to Mrs. Edna
Stanford, of Los Angeles, who left
for the south on the Princess
Louise after visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Norbert Ottkc lor ten days.
Mrs. Stanford is with the Los
Angeles Veterans Administration
! where Mr. Ottke was stationed bc
i fore coming to Juneau as chief of
I the VA claims division.
While north Mrs. Stanford made
the Whitehorse trip and was
reatly impressed by all she saw
of the “fabulous northland” she
i had dreamed about.

other government agencies.
McGrath Top Town
There were contributions from
60 more communities in 1950-51
than the previous year, Mrs. Her
mann saic^ and ranking first of
all communities in the territory is
McGrath where $700 was raised
among the town’s 110 permanent
residents—giving McGrath the
highest per capita rating in the
United States.
The year’s drive will afford the
Alaska Division $18,000 for carry
ing on cancer work in Alaska next
year, it was explained by the so
ciety’s commander.
Greatest accomplishment of the
year, she said, was bringing a team
cf cancer specialists from the
states on an educational and clin
ical tour of principal towns in Al
aska.
Short Course for Doctors
One of the prfncipal items bud
geted for the coming year will be
professional education and the Al
aska Division of the American Can
cer Society will participate in a
program to send 13 Alaska doctors
to Portland to attend a short
course on cancer treatment at the
University o f Oregon medical
school later this month.

mann were elected delegates to at
tend two meetings of the ACS, the
Northwest Conference in Portland
Sept. 23 and the annual meeting

Dr. Blanton also will be one of the

mann’s report: Mrs. C. C. Carter,
