Rev Topp Named Cancer Crusade Chairman in Butler County
Rev. Rueben Topp of Clarksville is named chairman of a two pronged educational and fundraising cancer crusade to run in Butler County this April. Mrs. Harry Miller, Butler County American Cancer Society chair, says plans aim to reach every adult with life saving cancer information during the 1975 April Crusade. State Chairman Robert Moorman of Cedar Rapids says the group seeks to wipe out cancer in a lifetime and that the annual check up can be a lifesaver. Crusaders will stress the message during home to home visits as more than two million ACS volunteers nationwide, including 53,000 locals, will conduct personal visits in April.
