He explained that new tuberculin tests are being tried to obtain a quicker reaction than tests in current use to find the tuberculosis germ. From Dr. Dan Morse of Peoria, Illinois TB sanatorium, news has come that “new tuberculosis germs have emerged m recent years, so numerous that they defy classification." Meanwhile testing facilities areN'being provided and research conducted in the field of other respiratory diseases, particularly emphysema. "All of these facts have a bearing on our local problem," Mr. McDaniel said, "and our program for assisting in case finding and adequate facilities for patients is constantly changing and advancing to meet the current situations; All of this tal^es funds and we are grateful for contributions regardless of size, all year round.

I First Crash Figures Released for 1965 Richmond, Va....The 1,059^ traffic deaths occurring in Virginia during 1965 topped the 1,050 of 1965 to mark the second highest annual toll recorded and the fifth consecutive year of increase, Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Chd'irm an of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and Superintendent of State Police, announced today. The year’s deaths were exceeded only by the 1,110 of 1941. Colonel Woodson stated that a rise of about 6 percent in traffic volumes brought a deer ease in the death iate (deaths per 100 million miles of travel) from 5.5 in 1964 to approximately 5.2. That of 1941 was 18.3. The national rate for 1965 was tentatively set at 5.4. Pedestrian deaths dropped from 185 to 162. Crashes killing more than one person each were up from 118 killing 297 In 1964 to 122 killing 303. Non-collision crashes, involving contact with no other vehicle or a pedestrian, were just about ev«h, with 359 killing 417, as opposed to the 1964 figures of 358 killing 418. Here, Colonel Woodson noted that these almost invariable result from excessive speed. Urban deaths were down from 260 to 244, but rural ones rose from 790 to 815. A remarkable drop in the deaths of military personnel, from 89 to 42, was noted. Colonel Woodson added that all 1965 statistics were subject to very slight upward revisions due to late reports and deaths occurring in 1966 from injuries received in 1965. Statistically, later deaths revert to the date of injury. Virginia saw 756 deaths in 1960, 856 In 1961, 974 in 1962, and 989 in 1963. Broken Bones... r Susie Baldwin, ten year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Baldwin of Washington suffered a broken ankle Sunday while riding her bicycle.

Phelps. The Droposed change in the fishing regulati6n would add a section of Big Cedar Creek in Russell County to the list i of fish-for-fun streams. In these areas only artificial lures with single barbless hooks may be used and all fish caught must be immediately returned to the water. The fish-for-fun section of Big Cedar Creek would extend one half mile downstream and onetenth mile upstream from the Route 19 bridge. The stream is not publicly owned and the fish-for-fun facility here would be made possible through cooperative agreements with local landowners. If this proposal is adopted the Commission plans to stock the designated section of the stream with big rainbowsfrom Commission hatcheries. The Commission also plans to draft a proposal setting up dates and open counties for a spring gobbler season in 1966. Last year a 7 day season was approved for 63 counties during late April and early May. Hunters bagged 436 of the big birds during this season. 'Sportsmen’s groups desiP ing to approach the Commission regarding - opening counties not opened last year should do so at this meeting since once a county is omit ted from the listing in the proposal, it may not be added later," Phelps said. The meet ing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Commission room, 7 North Second Street, Richmond. Board Rejects Salary Increases; 'Approves $125,000 School Addition High on the agenda of the January Rappahannock County Board Of Supervisor's meeting held Friday at the courthouse were school construction and the salaries of- county officials. Sub-division exceptions, parking lot for county employees, livestock claims and current bills filled out the business. Salary increases have been requested by the Treasurer and deputy, Commissioner of Revenue and deputy. Commonwealth’s Attorney and secretary, Sheriff and Custodian of the jail. The Sheriff’s office also requested a full time deputy and a request was made for a full time secretary who would work in the offices of the Commonwealth's Attorney and Sheriff. Tentative increases have been approved by the State Compensation Board in Richmond, and are as follows: Treasurer $5250, an increase of $250; Treasurer’s deputy $3120, an increase of $360; Commissioner of Revenue $4700, an increase of $300; Commissioner of Revenue’s deputy $3120, an increase of $240; Sheriff $4800, aifcincrease of $400; Custodian $J®00, an increase of $180; Commonwealth’s Attorney $4400, an increase of $400. A full^ time deputy for the Sheriff’s department with a salary of $3600 and portion of salary of secretary $1800; Commonwealth’s portion of secretary $1800, an increase of $480. The costs of salaries in the officefe of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, Treasurer, and ComWheat Growers Have Choice in ’66 Program . Jfee .1966 voluntary ..wheat program offers several options to farmers so they ca.n best plan their individual operations, according to James E. Warren, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) State Committee. The options include planting wheat on all allotment acres, diverting allotment acres from production to conserving uses for’payment, overplanting the allotment by up to 50 percent and storing the excess production for bad crop years. Substituting wheat for feed grains or feed grains for wheat Farmers should investigate each of the options to see which is best for their own farms, Warren said. Full details of the program are avaiF able at ASCS County Offices. Mr. Warren said the signup period extends from January 17 to April 1, 1966 in Virginia. missioner of Revenue are paid half by the state and half by the county., The salaries in the office of Sheriff are paid two-thirds by the state and one-third by the county. The total cost of these increases to the county would be $3008.33. Though these requests have been tentatively approved by the State Compensation Board they failed to meet with approval of the local supervisors and the Rappahannock Supervisors have requested a hearing with the Compensation Board. When the hearing is held in Richmond, the county officers concerned and the members of the Board of Supervisors will meet with the Compensation Board. School construction was discussed at length with Mr. Robert Leonard of the Warren -Rappahannock School Board present to present plans for immediate construction and discuss future needs concerning facilities. The Supervisors had previously approved an addition to Rappahannock County High School which would cost $110,000. This would include four classrooms and a Vocational Agriculture shop. The shop program has had increasing enrollment and in order to take care of expansion of the shop program the Board approved $125,000 for the addition rather than the original $110,000. This addition is designed to take care of the complete integration of the high school which must be done by 1967. This entails taking care of students who are now sent to high schools in adjoining counties. No action was taken on elementary school construction, but two plans for construction were considered. One plan woultT'Be to cori&f ruct a 14room school with facilities to accommodate all first, second and third grade students of the county. This would be constructed on the recently purchased land near Washington. Construction costs would run in the neighborhood of $488,000. A second plan considered is the construction of a 30room school on this same site to accommodate all elementary children in the county. Cost of this structure would run $783,000. An exception was made in the sub-division rulings to allow the construction of a parsopage by Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville on the lot next to the church. The building site does not conform to all subdivision rulings. A parking lot for county (Continued on page 3) RCHS Student Is Assembly Page Wade Wallihan Massie, an Eighth grade student at Rappahannock County High School has been selected to serve as a page in the Virginia House of Delegates for the 1966 session of the General Assembly.

Why Choose A Small Grain Variety itt.. Farmers are urged to choose & tlu-iety simply because all varieties of farm crops on the market are not adapted. Since seed costs represent such a small part of the total crop production costs why gamble (Mi a variety that is known to be inferior or on a variety which has no performance history under production conditions of the area. . For example lets take a look at recommended spring oat > varieties. Andrew, Clarion, r Missouri 0-205, Newton and \ Nodaway are recommended. Missouri 0-205 at Orange madp a yield of 67.2 bushels averaging 30 lbs. to the bushel and only 3% of the plants were lodged at harvest. c.I. 7690 which is not recommend-* ed on the otherhand made a yield of 75.5 bushels per acre which is considerably higher, however 85% erf the plants r lodged by harvest. ^vEvery farmer realizes the • loss from lodged grains. At this point I can’t help l recalling General Noce’s com: ment on measuring yields, • quote, “I measure bushels in • the bin, not what is left in : the field." ; Full details of research re; suits are available at the of; fice for anyone who will come : by and look them over. After making selections basi ed upon research at our Ex; periment Stations ef several ; varieties then measure performance on your farm and ; select the variety that does ; best for you. Here you must exercise care r and not trust an eye-ball mea•' surement. I recall a firm visit where the operator had planted three different varieties of corn. ■One variety was-an ‘unkhown’ • and upon asking why this variety had been chosen the farmer replied, "We tried it for several years and like what it did for us." Mind you he was sincere and truly felt it was a good corn variety for him; BUT an actual measurement of performance, sampled in a pre-determined manner, showed weight in both ears and stalk and percentage of ear weight as compared to total weight, showed this corn to be inferior to his other two varieties. In conclusion may I urge that all farmers whose goal is to attempt to maximize profit from their business eliminate as much gamble as possible. Start with an adapted variety. Nor. Va. Power Will Change Name Northern Virginia Power Company will change its name to The Potomac Edison Com - pany of Virginia, it was announced today by Charles D. Lyon, president of the electric utility. The change is effective with the filing, scheduled for today, of required notice with the State Corporation Commission at Richmond. The change is a change of name only, Mr. Lyon said, and will not affect corporate organization, personnel or procedures. Physical changes, sucl/ as building and vehicle identi\ fications, will take place over an extended period of months. The parent Potomac Edison Company is a Maryland corporation which serves portions of that state, as well as Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. In compliance with the various state laws and regulations, the operation I in each state _is accounted for separately. Until today’s filing, each state operation bore the namfeof a predecessor company, usually dating back to the beginnings of the modern electric utility industry. “Many of our friends in Virginia have long been aware of the corporate ties between Northern Virginia Power and Potomac Edison in Maryland*" as well as the adjoining Potomac Light and Power Co. in West Virginia,” Lyon said. “Thj change of names will emphasize this relationship, and we hope further that it will serve to remind our Virginia customers that they participate directly in the economic benefits resulting from many of the programs under-; taken by the Potomac Edison organization.” The name Northern Virginia Power dates from 1913 when the Winchester and Washington City Railway and the Winchester Gas and Electric Company, formed in 1889, were merged. The Virginia property became a part of the Potomac Edison System in 1921. Presently, Potomac Edison of Virginia serves an area of some 1,895 square miles located largely in Clarke, Frederick, Greene, Madison, Orange, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren Counties. Smaller sections of Albemarle, Culpeper, F a uqu ie r and Rockingham Counties are also served. Population of the service area, according to the 1960census, is over 94,000Potomac Edison of Virginia has its main offices at Winchester and Luray, with local offices at Berryville, Strasburg. Front Royal, Madison and Shenandoah. Lyon emphasized that the name change does not mean any change in present operating policies or procedures. *We want to assure Potomac Edison’s customers in Virginia,” he said, “that our goal continues exactly the same: to provide adequate and reliable electric service at the lowest rates consistent with our corporate Obligations. We tried hard to do this at Northern Virginia Power and we will try just as hard now that we are Potomac Edison of Virginia.” Highway Dept. To Consider Rt. IS Imp. Richmond -- A public hearing on the proposed improvement of US Route 15 in Warrenton will be held at 10:30 a.m. February 9 in the Warrenton high school auditorium, the State Highway Department said today. Citizens’ views will be sought on two proposals. One would provide a four-lane road way with a 16-foot raised median, the other a six-lane roadway with a four-foot, flush median. The project would extend from .14 of a mile south of the intersection of Route 211 to a point .92 of a mile north of the intersection of Route 17, a distance of almost two miles. The Department said {he project irtoctuded in its current schedule for construction and it expects work to begin as soon as plans can be completed and right-of-way can be acquired. Crater Lake, Oregon, has the bluest water of any known place on earth. Library Lines... Recently a considerable ad appeared in several national magazines offering a bonus of three of the great classic works, of the past to those wishing to Join this national Book of the Month Club. This is interesting from several points of view. One is that the Club must have felt that there is a renewed interest in rereading the classics, and that such an offer would appeal to large numbers. Another interesting point may be that the Club is hard put to find a widely accepted contemporary work that has not already been made available in many forms. The third point, one that seems very sound, is that the pendulum is swinging back, as it does periodically, to those great works of the finest minds this world has ever produced. It is in the great literature of the past, tried by many peoples over long periods of time, and tested in marly changes of government, economics, and philosophy, that man can find anchor age in what is true and good. The people of Rappahannock do not need to join the Book | Clubs to get such fine bonuses | as the classics being offered, nor will it be necessary to go out and purcha|e them. Your County Libraay has a large assortment of the great literature of all time. The Greek and Roman classics, drama, poetry and prose are well stocked in our library. There is much history, philosophy i and biography of the great ; renaissance writers, also the best of English works of the 17th and 18th centuries. A goodly number of our own early American authors, (whose works are becoming collectors items) are on our shelves. Mark ‘Twain Snd Stephen Crane are two novelists who will always be up stage among our 19th century Americans. Winter nights are times we can revisit, or visit for the first time, with the , great men of the past through their books. Library open: Monday, Wednesday and Friday - 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Coast Guard Reserve Offers Commissions U. S. .

More Farm Families Get FHA Loans Family farmers throughout • the United States and Puerto Rico during the first four months of fiscal year 1966 - July through October - borrowed more money from the Farmers Home Administration to improve their farms, buy land or refinance debts than in any similar period in the agency’s history, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L, Freeman reported today. He explained that the nearly $105 million in credit extended to 6,725 farmfamiliesduring the first third of fiscal 1966 is $26.5 million more than the $78.5 million loaned to 4,269 families in all of fiscal 1963 when the previous high level was reached.

Secretary Freeman said, "It Is interesting to note that besides the 6,725 families assisted this fiscal year, more than 82,000 farm families who might otherwise have been forced to leave the land and seek city employment during fiscal 1965 continued to use farm ownership credit obtained in previous years to strengthen their economic position.' A recent progress study of a representative group of family farm owners assisted by the FHA showed that their gross income was boosted from $8, 491 annually to $16,078 in 5 years. Their standard of living was increased by about $2,600 a year while the average net worth of these farmers was raised by some $11,000 during the same period. Secretary Freeman also explained that the group of FHA assisted family farmers covet1 ed by the progress report includes, some families previously living under poverty conditions. “The necessary resources acquired through USDA’s supervised credit is now making it possible for these farm families to have a decent standard of living,* the Secretary declared.

A New Name Asked For Virginia Tech A proposed change in name for Virginia Tech will be placed before the General Assembly by the Higher Education Study Commission when the state legislative body convenes this month. Possibilities for the new name include Virginia Uni versity, Virginia State University, Polytechnic University, The University of Virginia at Blacksburg or Virginia. The commission, in a report to the governor and the General Assembly released in December, made no recommendation of what the new name for Tech should be, but "certainly the word ‘university’ should be incorporated in the title of the_institution, and it should be spelled with a capital ‘U’ " The Commission noted that Tech’s name "is unique among the recognized state-controlled land-grant colleges and universities in' the United States. . .The name Virginia Polytechnic Institute does nor convey to the average citizen of the United States an accurate conception of the role and scope of the program mainta ined at Blacksburg.* The commission recommended that Tech officials emphasize choosing a name “that will indicate its historic importance as the land-grant university of Virginia.* The commission also recommended a similar change in name for Old Dominion , College in Norfolk, which is rapidly attaining the characteristics of a university.

From The Home Agent*t Pen By Doris Daugherty Permanent Press Clothes Clothing bearing the "wash and wear” tag has had a long, interesting, and shaky history. Earlier wash and wear garments left a lot to be desired, and as a result there is some skepticism about more recent versions. Now, however, manufacturers are claiming an advance in the wash and wear industry —for permanent press has come on the market. According to one of the popular consumer magazines, by next spring 40 per cent of women's and children's lightweight clothing, and a higher percentage of men's clothing, will be sporting tags with claims for permanent press, hold-acrease, or never wrinkle. Permanent press is achieved by a new method which involves treating the material with a resin and then curing the fabric after it has been made into garments. Creases and pleats are baked into the final garment. As with any new product, there are problems to be aware of when buying. It is important to buy a size that fits, for once the pleats and cuffs have been set by heat, alteration is almost impossible. When 100 percent cotton is treated with a permanent press finish, the cotton is weak ened and the abrasion resistance lowered. To counteract this loss of strength, many permanent press finishes are put on blends of cotton and synthetic fibers. Another problem is in color changes. Occasionally, a white fabric will be yellowed by the finish, and because of the nature of the finish, chlorine bleaches should not be used. There may also be some lightening of a dark color at the crease line in some instances. Miss Barbara Wain, Clothing Specialist at V.P.I. advises, check labels for careful instructions and follow these to protect the garment. Hints It takes one acre of healthy forest 20 years to grow the lumber for a 5-room frame house, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. ************ Allow 2 inches of space on a closet rod for each dress, jacket, trousers, shirt or rain coat.

State Health Department To Aid in Administration of SS Insurance The Virginia State Department of Health has been designated as the state agency to help administer the Social Security Administration's new health insurance program, the Department and two federal agencies announced jointly Friday at a press conference. The announcement was made by Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner; Dr. Emil E. Palmquist, Regional Health Director for Region III of the U. S. Public Health Service; and Jessie L. Lynn, Regional Representative of the Social Security Administration's Bureau of Health Insurance. The agreement, which was completed recently and which has been signed by Dr. Shanholtz, spells out the Health Department’s role in determining which hospitals, extended care facilities and home health agencies in Virginia meet requirements for participation under the socalled Medicare provisions, and in helping other institutions to qualify. The hospital'insurance and supplementary insurance provisions of the lawfbetome effective July 1. -Services in extended-care facilities--including skilled’nursing homes and convalescent sections of hospitals--won’t be available until January 1, 1967. Lynn noted that the 1965 amendments have been characterized as the most comprehensive that have been made since the original Social Security Act was signed by for a painting class at the home of Mrs. Helen Kilby’s 4-H Schedule Sperryville I - January 17, at 2 p. m.

He said the amendments will cover two basic programs: the hospital and related care features, which will include almost all citizens aged 65 or older; and the voluntary medical insurance program, covering doctor bills and related costs. The recipient provides a $3 monthly contribution to finance the latter program, and must sign an enrollment form in order to participate. Lynn urged that all past-65 citizens sign for the supplemental benefits. He indicated that the program is expected to have a $52 million impact on the State in 19o7, including $35 million under Part A (the hospital provisions) and $17 million under Part B. Dr. Shanholtz said both the Health Department’s plan of operations and a budget have been approved, and the Department already has received some federal funds. He said its responsibilities include certification of participating hospitals and nursing hdmes; consultation with agencies and parties concerned; and cooperation both with federal officials and the providers of patients’ services. “I think there will be some problems in carrying out the program," the Commissioner indicated, but expressed confidence that they all would be solved. The first problem anticipated, he said, will be the recruiting of additional personnel. He said about 11 new staff members will be added to the Department for work involving specialized medical services. Dr. J. E. Kenley, Director of the Division of Specialized Medical Services/"will be assigned over-all supervision of the additional work occasioned by the medical and hospital insurance program, he said. Dr. Kenley said tlje efforts of local health districts will have a part in determining the success of the program in Virginia—to which Dr. Palmquist added the observation that it is "a partnership, all the way up and down the line."

Clarifies Status Dependent Students Most people have been informed that the 1965 amendments to the Social Security Act extended the age limit for a child’s benefit from 18 to 22--provided the child is a full-time student. Therefore; if you were getting benefits on either of your parents’ social security accounts and those benefits were stopped when you reached 18, you may be able to start getting benefits again--if you are a full-time student under 22 years of age and have not married. If you are now getting benefits, they can continue after you are 18...if you are a full-time student. If one of your parents has retired, become disabled, or died, you may now be eligible for social security benefits...if you are going to school and are under 22. Only full-time students be tween the ages of 18 and 22 are entitled to these benefits. You are a full-time student if you are enrolled in a day or evening school for a course of study which will take at least 3 months and you are carrying a subject load suffi cient to complete the course in the time normally required by a day student. The schools included under the provisions of this program include high schools supported or operated by State or local governments, or by the Fed eral Government...vocational schools operated or support ed by a local, State or Federal Government..state universities and colleges and com munity colleges...p r iv a t e schools or colleges accredit ed by a State or national accrediting agency. Schools and courses that do not qualify you for benefit payments Include part-time courses, some night-school courses, and most unaccredi* ed schools. Any student between age 18 and 22 who feels he may be entitled to social security ben efits should contact the near est Social Security (Jffice' be fore January 31, 1966. Failure to do so may result in the loss of some benefits due them.

Lane, together with Dr. ^Miller, Arthur Hamilton, General Manager of the Corporation; and the legal and engineering broadcast consultants for SVETV. The petition request the assignment of frequencies which will utilize various alternative combinations in order to cover the large area which SVETV proposes to include. Hamilton stated that it would be absolutely necessary for the assignment of more than one channel to have proper blgnal coverage of the entire area which will be served by the new television facility. Shenandoah Valley Educational Television, in its petition to the FCC states that it will provide non-commercial educational television service! to the twelve counties of Au-i gusta, Bath, Culpeper, Greene, Highland, Madison,! Page, Rappahannock, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren as well as the five cities that are also members, Buena Vista, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Staunton, and Waynesboro. Television service is intended to be provided not only for the elementary and secondary schools, but also institutions of higher learning, and the general public throughout the entire service area. The Shenandoah Valley Educational Television Corporation further stated, in its petition that its requests were based upon its ability as an organized, well funded, chartered corporation, having in its employ an experienced general manager, ready " to proceed as soon as the necessary approvals were received. SVETV is a non-profit, nonstock Virginia corporation established to operate non-commercial television broadcasting facilities. The membership of SVETV is comprised of public school systems, institutions of higher learning, and cultural, industrial and civic organizations, as well as civic minded, public spiritual citizens, located and residing within the Shenandoah Valley area. The affairs of the Shenandoah Valley Educational Television Corporation are managed by a 25 member Board of Directors who represent the membership. The Corporation has been working in close co-ordination with the Governors Advisory Council on Educational Television, and has its full authorization and support. The planning for the new Valley area television facility represents the coordinated effort of the two organizations inorder to assure complete compatibility with the overall state plan for the development of educational television. There ard educational television stations on the air in Hampton (WHRO-TV), Washington (WETA-TV) and Richmond (WCVE-TV). Hamilton stated that the fund raising activities of the nonprofit corporation have been successful. The organization has attained more than 75 per cent of the goal which was established at the campaign outset. He indicated that there are a sufficient number of potential additions to membership which will enable SVETV to meet the {foal. As reported earlier the studio and office center for SVETV will be located on property set aside for that puipose in Harrisonburg by Madison College. Location of the transmission facilities will be dependent upon the final decision concerning frequency assignment by the FCC. <^> SERVICE LIME and FERTILIZER SPREADING Magnesium or High Calcium.

Signup Period for ’66 Diversion Program The signup for the 1966 programs for wheat, feed grains, and cotton will start on January 17, James E. Warren, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation State Committee, announced today. The signup deadline will be April 1, 1966. For the long-term Cropland Adjustment Program (CAP), the signup will begin on the same date as for the commodity programs, January 17; the signup deadline for CAP will be announced later. Producers who file intentions) under CAP but do not enter[ into final agreements will have i 15 days to file applications to | take part in one or more of; the annual commodity pro-! grams after applicants withdraw or after the County Committee notifies them that no agreement will be available. The Chairman explained that for 1966, a flexible schedule of signups has been adopted throughout the country, with each A SC State committee determining the most appropriate period for the activity. In most States, the signup period is uniform in all counties. In general, both the commodify programs and CAP call for diversion of crop acreage into an approved conserving use. By meeting provisions of the programs, farmers become eligible for various benefits in the form of payments -- and also for loans under the commodity programs. Most ASC committeemen and county office managers in Virginia are keeping busy these days familiarizing f a r m e r s with program details so that they may make the right choice when ready to sign up. However, Mr. Warren reminded farmers that participation in the various diversion programs is not automatic -- filing an application which shows the operator’s program intentions is the first necessary step in qualifying for program benefits. All of the signups are conducted at ASCS County Offices. Quintuplets Born A collie type cur which was dropped in the woods above the residence of Miss Helen Fuller last spring produced a litter of five pups this week.

Panama was classed as part of Columbia, and thus, part of South America, before it declared its independence in 1903. Now, it is classed as part of Central America, which is classed as part of North America. Cancer Soc. Issues 1966 Fact Booklet There are 1,400,000 people now alive cured of cancer in the U. S. according to the American Cancer Society in its recently released booklet, *1966 Cancer Facts and Figures.* This is the largest figure ever, the Society reports. And more people are being cured each year. Many cancers are being prevented by correcting precancerous conditions and changing living habits. Actually, the Society's publication says, there are more than 2,000,000 alive, cured of cancer. Some 700,000 patients with cancers diagnosed within the last five years will live to enter the ranks of those Cured. Usually a person is not considered cured until five years after treatment without recurrence of the disease. Other significant figures emerge from *1966 Cancer Facts and Figures.* Cancer of the colon and rectum will strike about 73,000 Americans in 1966, more than any other type except cancer of the skin which is 92 per cent curable if treated when there is no regional involvement. Cancer of the colon and rectum will take the lives of 43,000 in 1966. It is estimated that almost three out of four colon and rectum patients could be saved by early diagnosis, particularly through wider use of the proctoscopic examination. Lung cancer in 1966, will kill approximately 50,000; 42.000 men and 8,000 women. This is 3,000 more than the estimated deaths in 1965. It is the leading cause of death from cancer among men. Only 5 per cent of lung cancer patients are being saved today, but it is estimated that upwards of 75 per cent of cancers of the lung could have been prevented if people had not smoked cigarettes. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women, with an estimated 63.000 new cases in 1966. It will cause 27,000 deaths. “Despite all efforts to date,* the Society's booklet reports, “The breast cancer death rate remains high. This could change for the better if more women regularly practiced breast self-examination and consulted their physicians at first symptoms. Delayed treatment is not only dangerous for the individual, but frustrating to the physician. . . .the five year survival rate for localized breast cancer Is 82 per cent as against 47 per cent when there is regional spread beyond the original site. Uterine cancer presents a far brighter, yet still tragic picture, according to the book let. About 44,000 new cases will be diagnose,d in 1966. The bright side of fhe uterine cancer picture is that the death rate from it shows a steady decline — 50 per cent in 25 years. It was once the leading cause of death from cancer among women. The dark side of the picture is that most of the 14,000 expected to die of the disease In 1966 will die unnecessarily. An annual .checkup, which Includes the "Pap” smear test could virtually eliminate uterine cancer as a major health problem and, in some cases, correct conditions that might lead to uterine cancer. Over-all the cancer picture for 1966, according to. the Society's *1966 Cancer Facts and Figures,* is this: If present trends continue, there will be about 570,00<r'tiew cases diagnosed for the first time; 870,000 will be under medical care for cancer and about 300,000 will die of the disease. There will be about 190,000 saved in 1966. The Society estimates that 95,000 cancer patients will die needlessly in 1966 unless present trends can be reversed and patients can get to their physicians in time for early diagnosis and treatment. The “Facts and Figures* booklet reported that the Society’s income from all sources in the 1965 fiscal year (August 31,1964 to August 31, 1965), was more_than$45,200,000, the highest ever. The Society through its annual Crusade raised more than $36,800,000. Another $8,400,000 from bequests and legacies. As for its research program appropriations in the fiscal year, 1964-65, for research grants, institutional grants, fellowships and research professorships, etc., amounted to $14,993,368. Again a new high. In addition to this research effort, the Society has invested more than $9,000,000 since 1948 for the training of more than 2,000 young physicians and dentists In their responsibility in cancer control. The program now exceeds more than $1,000,000 a year. The Society provides post-graduate training at more than a million dollars a year for physicians and dentists at approved teaching centers in the hope that these specialists bring the special knowledge and ability gained to the areas in which they -practice, sharing their experience with other physicians through tumor clinics and medical societies, and making it of benefit to cancer patients in local communities. Adding it up “1966 Cancer Facts and Figures” says more men will die of cancer in 1966 than women. This has been true since 4949. The ratio in 1966 will be about 55 men to 45 women.
