A Cancer Belt In Wayne County Illinois
W E Curtiss reports from Wayne County south of Canton a 30 by 12 mile belt seen as ripe for hygienic research. He notes a claim that one in six women in the district are afflicted with cancer and many die, with explanations scarce and no scientific study. The area is described as Democratic, with local lore on voting loyalty and politics. He recalls a hotel stay and dinner, and a landlord’s view that Democrats remain dominant despite views on money questions.
