Jackson Woman Praises Work At
Kansas Cancer Research Clinic
A Jackson woman, Mrs.
Mildred Ballenger, has been so
impressed by treatment she
received at the Mid-America
Immunotherapy and Surgical
Research Foundation, Inc. in
Kansas City, Kansas, that she
has asked that a letter from the
Foundation be printed in the
Progress-Argus in the hope
that her friends and others in
this area suffering from cancer
might wish to make a
contribution to the tax shelter
ed foundation for cancer
research specified by the
donor.
Mrs. Ballenger, a cancer
victim, feels that she has been
benefited immeasurably by
treatment received at the
research foundation and de
sires to tell others of her good
fortune.
Another Jackson cancer
victim, G. Lawrence Morgan,
underwent surgery last week
at the foundation and learned
of the foundation’s exceptional
work in cancer research
through Mrs. Ballenger.
Mrs. Ballenger was a former
patient of Dr. Loren J.
Humphrey who is one of the
directors of the Foundation.

150 Persons Can Be Trained
By GTES Office in Griffin
Georgia Department of La
bor Commissioner Sam Cald
well announced this week that
$138,000 has been allocated to
the Georgia Training and
Employment Service Office in
Griffin to train 150 individuals.
This office managed by Sid
Dell provides manpower ser-'
vices to all (8) counties in the
Mclntosh Trail Area. The
manpower grant, Mr. Dell
States, is designated as the
Jobs Optional Program
(JOPS) to assist employers of
business and industry in their
training costs.
The program aims are to
place Viet-Nam era veterans
and disadvantaged individuals
into meaningful jobs with a
future. The first quarter now in
progress will provide training
to at least 40 unemployed at an
approximate reimbursement
to the employer of SBOO per
trainee.
I would like to point out, says
Dell, that a disadvantaged
person is one whose family
income is under the poverty
level; basically a poor person
with one or more of these
characteristics: no skill, school
dropout, handicapped, under
21 or over 45. Viet-Nam
veterans in most all instances
qualify gs do welfare and food
stamp recipients. He or she
may or may not be a minority
member. However, continued
Dell, an employer may select a
JOPS program to hire 50
percent disadvantaged and 50
percent non-disadvantaged.
Another feature of this man
power training provides assist
ance to upgrade employees.
This is one of the few
manpower training programs
that benefits industry by
reimbursing them for actual
cost incurred to train their

for cancer in March 1973 and
has responded so well thus far.
She feels that work of these
doctors should be publicized
and contributions made to the
Foundation. Mrs. Ballenger
says such a contribution would
be made to a worthy cause and
that such funds will help
someday to wipe out cancer
and other dreaded diseases.
She also emphasized that
donations may be designated
for conditions and diseases
other than cancer.
The address is Mid-America
Immunotherapy and Surgical
Research Foundation, Inc., P.
0. Box 3322, Kansas City,
Kansas 66103.
The letter to Mrs. Ballenger,
reprinted in its entirety, is as
follows:
August 31,1973
Dear Mrs. Ballenger:
“I have obtained the permis
sion of Dr. Humphrey and Dr.
Jewell to send this letter to you.
However, we feel the message
in this letter may be more
applicable to some of your
acquaintances, as so many
cancer-stricken families are
exhausted of funds in their own
private battle against cancer.
employees. Another good fea
ture is that no business is too
small to participate, even an
employer with only one trainee
may qualify. The number of
weeks and amount ud to 50
percent of the hourly wage is
determined by the job skill.
There is a minimum of paper
work; only one report each
month is required.
The apprentice jobs which
are controlled by labor unions
and sewing jobs in the garment
industries are excluded. Any
interested employer who de
sires more may call Mr. Dell at
Griffin, 227-2208 or write the

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Excitement over the pros
pects of great progress against
cancer grew two years ago
when President Nixon signed
the National Cancer Act.
Unfortunately, the influx of
money has not come about.
Furthermore, many private
institutions withdrew support
of cancer research with the
enactment of the National
Cancer Act. For example, the
John A. Hartford Foundation,
Inc., which has supported Dr.
Humphrey and Dr. Jewell in
their immunotherapy pro
grams for five years, will not
continue its support. You would
be interested to learn that the
stated guidelines for cancer
center programs by the
National Cancer Institute
states definitely that the
money they give will be to
initiate programs and that
sources must be sought from
private areas for continued
support of research. Further
more, nearly all the money
released by the Cancer Act
refers to the clinical phase of
cancer care, not research. As
you can see, this poses a
serious problem for the
immunotherapy programs car
ried on by Dr. Humphrey and

Therefore, I am taking this
opportunity to tell you that a
private foundation, the Mid-
America Immunotherapy and
Surgical Research Foundation,
has been established. This is a
tax sheltered foundation in
which contributions by donors
will be used strictly for the
research specified by the
donor. We wish to emphasize
that expenditure of funds from
this foundation can be designa
ted for innumerable conditions
and diseases other than
cancer.
Contributions may be made
to this Foundation at this time,
and if you have relatives or
friends who wish to contribute
to the fight against cancer as
carried out by immunother
apy, tumor immunity, etc.,
please pass this information on
to them.
Thank you.
