rather than the specialised ones.

Yes.

In January of '73 the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society jointly announced that they were opening three of a planned 20 breast cancer centers, detection centers.

Yes, These are really like individual -- they could take place in doctors' offices, at a university or medical school or hospital, but they don't, they are not supporting the comprehensive detection of cancer. Breast cancer is by far the biggest killer of women. They're trying to detect it early so that -- because you have a better chance of survival if you have a small tumor than if you have a large tumor.

Yes. And have they opened more during the year, other than the three?

Yes, it's going on well.

These are free clinics, are they?

These are free, yes.

Are they beging well attended?

I'm sure they are. I have the feeling that it's going on well. I can find out for you, but I haven't any really very recent information, except that there's a great deal of enthusiasm for it on the part of the Cancer Society.
