HERBERT RAWLINGSON
Cancer Team
On Radio
Thursday AM
The ‘“combined operations” of
medical men in many specialized
fields, all working together to save
cancer victims, will be the subject
of the next “For the Living”
broadcast, heard over * station
WGAU on Thursday at 11:30 a. m.
How this “cancer team” goes to
work, diagnosing, identifying and
then treating different types of
cancer by surgery, radium or X
ray, will be dramatized by Edward
G. Robinson and Herbert Rawlin
son, stars on the program, Special
music has been eomposed for the
program by Jeff Alexander and is
conducted by Lyn Murray.
“For the Living” is being »nre
sented as a public service by
WGAU in cooperation with the
American Cancer Society which!
has prepared the entire series of
broadcasts as part of its continuing
educational campaign against the
dangers of cancer. Statistics show
that more than 200,000 Americans
will die this year of this deadly
disease—many of them needlessly
because they waited too long be
fore seeking medical help. The
American Cancer Society seeks, by
means of these programs and in
many other ways, to acquaint men
and women everywhere with basic
knowledge that will prevent such
tragedies. All the principals ap
pearing on “For the Living” broad
casts have donated their talents to
further this purpose. .
