Solid progress in whipping the trend for self-destruction through smoking cigarettes provides a happy springboard for the 1969 Cancer Ctuaade m^^Hgiry cyupty,
workers and many have begun the two - fold drive to (1) Maria the public on how to be alert to signs of cancer and to take steps to whq> it, and (2) ask people to contribute towards the Cancer Crusade in the struggle to conquer the conquering disease.
David Ladd, Crystal Lake builder who heads this Cancer Crusade seek¬ ing more than $20,000 says Uie trend among teen-agers to stop smoking or to avoid starting is evi¬ dence that the American Cancer Society's factual message on t h e dangers of cigarette smoking is get¬ ting through.
A recent nationwide survey of more than 4,000 teen-agers indi¬ cated that the proportion of teen- aged smokers had grown smaller over levels reported during the past decade.
The most recent "survey indicated
25.6 per cent of fhe IT-Jrear-old boys queried said they smoked. A decade ago the percentage was 34.7 per cent. For girls, the figures were:
15.7 per cent now, 25,5 per cent 10 years ago.
Ladd said that American Cancer Society studies "definitely ^low"- that cigarette smoking is harmful to heMth, not only in making cancer of the lungs a greater possibility but in causing heart trouble and other diseases.
Ladd announced the township chairmen who have been appointed. Some townships still need help, he pointed out:
Chemnng, Jerry Powers; Hebron. Joe Horeled; Richmond, Frank Moravec; Burton, Gordon Sargent; Dunham, Mrs. Harry AHen and Mrs. Carl Peterson; and Greenwood, Mrs. Audrey Pittman.
McHenry, Anthony Pintozzi; Ma¬ rengo, Robert Edtsteadt; Grafton, Mrs. Richard SeUer; Algonquin, Jack Curran; Dorr, Arthur Stolzke; and Nunda, Dick Aston.
