Hermann, and te in the election of a to participat board of permanent directors for the organization Plans for future activity of the American Cancer Society in Alaska were evolved by Mrs. Hermann in| conjunction with the staff of the national office during Mrs. Her- mann's attendance at the Society’s annual meeting in New York last October when she represented Al- aska as a lay-delegate. Stressing the cooperation of the national office of the society in underwriting the expenses of the Alaska division and in developing new material suited to Alaska’s unique needs, Mrs. Hermann also pointed out that as a result of her visit to New York a liason with the American Cancer Society’s committee of Federal employees, headed by E. L. Bartelt, of the Fed- eral Treasury Department in Wash- ington, D. C., had been effected and that B. Frank Heintzleman Regional Forester and Alaska Com- missioner of Agriculture had ac- cepted the important post of chairman of the ACS committee of Federal employees in Alaska. Dr. Territorial . C. E.

Shattuck Agency Phone: 249 Seward Street | Commissioner ~ of Health, spoke briefly to the group emphasizing the value of the voluntary work of the organization to the entire health program of Alaska. Finance officer Alan G. Marcum's financial report showed the new Alaska division of the ACS to be fully solvent. The report which covered only the fiscal year end- ing last August 31 showed voluntary | contributions of over $3,000. Assis- tance from the national office had contributed materially to the work of the cancer group in Alaska. Mrs. Hermann pointed out that most of the work done in the Ter- ritory is voluntary, that a part time secretary is the only paid employee of the Alaska group. It was pointed out by Mrs. Her- mann that of the money collected in Alaska, 60 percent remains herc to finance the program of service to cancer victims and to expand the educational program regarding cancer so that people of Alaska may “learn to live.” Twenty-five percent of the funds | collected in the Territory go in- to the societ; natfonal research fund as Alaska’s contribution to- ward finding a cure for the dread affliction Members of the executive com-| mittee and board of directors as| ubmitted by the nominating com- rittee and unanimously approved are: Members of Executive Commit- tee: Dr. Wm.
