Cancer Fund Campaign
Scheduled for October
Women's Field Army To Unite with War
Chest in Drive; Education Program Starts

For the first time since its estab-
lishment the Ann Arbor unit of the
Women's Field Army for the control
of cancer will not hold its annual
fund-raising drive during April, na-
tional cancer control month.
The drive will be held in October
as part of the Ann Arbor War Chest
campaign, Mrs. H. Marvin Pollard,
commander of the Ann Arbor Fidid
Army, announced yesterday.
Although the financial drive for
the month is being delayed, the edu-
cational campaign will be carried on
as usual. The aim of the campaign
is to inform the public concerning
cancer cause and prevention.
Dr. Riecker To Speak
Dr. Herman H. Riecker will open
the campaign at 2 a.m. today, speak-
ing on cancer over radio station
WKAR, under the sponsorship of the
Women's Field Army of Ann Arbor.
Members of the Neighborhood
War Clubs will cooperate in the can-
cer educational drive by distributing
literature on the disease with copies
of the war clubs' publication, "Cues",
in a house-to-house canvass in the
residential districts. Mrs. Poltard
said that this distribution will be
made about May 1.
To Inform Public
The Field Army has also made lit-
erature concerning the progress and
prevention -of the disease available
to visitors in St. Joseph's and Uni-
versity hospitals, two of the organ-
izations to which the Field Army
regularly contributes a portion of
their funds.
In the past four years Ann Arbor
Field Army has raised approximately
Chas. Witting Ends
27 Years of Service
After almost 27 years of faithful
serviced as janitor at the University
Observatory, Charles Witting has re-
tired at the age of 88.
Much admired by everyone in the
astronomy department as a thor-
ough and conscientious worker, Mr.
Witting has served that department
since 1915.
The late Dr. Heber D. Curtis, head
of the astronomy department, once
said, "I wish I could be as fine a man
as Charlie."
"He kept the building especially
clean, and was a. reliable and fine
man," Miss Mary E. Lindsey, seis-
mologic assistant, said.
At four or five each morning he
arrived to do his work and was done
by noon, according-to Miss Lindsey.
Before coming to Ann Arbor he
was a farmer in South Dakota, but
when his youngest son entered the
University of Michigan the entire
family moved here.

$6,000 in the annual campaigns. Of
this, $1,650 has been divided equally
between St. Joseph and University
Hospital over the last three years
for diagnosis of suspected cancer in
semi-indigent patients and research
work on cancer, Mrs. Pollard said.
To Help Research
The remainder goes to the state
office, two-thirds being spent on
educational efforts in Michigan and
one-third being forwarded to the
national office to help finance re-
search work, she said.
In commenting on the campaign
to be held in the fall, Walter A.
Geske of the Ann Arbor Community
Fund said that the united drive will
include all war agencies and other
local agencies and the quotas for the
various groups of the funds raised
will be set later by an executive com-
mittee.
