The students of Wheeling R-4, Southwest R-l, Chillicothe R-2, and Bishop Hogan will be issued envelopes for contributions used in purchasing mice for cancer research.

The American Cancer Society has learned in its research program, seeking the answer to leukemia, a form of cancer that strikes many- young children, that mice are the best means to study this disease. Also the mouse has proven to be the best live form of test to. learn the effects of cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
