Cancer Drive Drawing To Close Crusade Ends This Week
The $974 American Cancer Society drive ends soon with volunteers still seeking donations through Mrs. Ronald Volk, crusade chairman, at El 4, Corry.

It outlines warning signals, the value of annual checkups, and emphasizes breast self-exams for women. The 1974 theme is We want to Wipe Out Cancer In Your Lifetime.
