From 1984-1986 national
comparison data, the rate of cer-
vical cancer deaths in West Vir-
ginia was 5.6 per 100,000 fe-
males., West Virginia ranked
third in comparison to the other
49 slates and Washington, D.C.
This was much greater than the
national death rate of 3.7 per
100,000 females.
"These overwhelming statis-
tics and the critical need to bet-
ter educate wolnen and health
professionals about early detec-
tion were the premises for the
funding request made by the
West Virginia Department of
ttealth and Human Resources,

Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), Ms Willis-Miller said.
The first year award of
$400,000 from CDC will enable

develop linkages with organiza-
tions invoh, ed with breast and
cervical cancer detection, treat-
ment and follow-up care and to
prepare for expanding access to
all levels of service.
"We owe special thanks to
Senator Robert C. Byrd, for
working so hard to secure fund-
ing for this program last year in
a federal appropriations bill. We
are most anxious to begin on
this five year initiative to lower
the rate of deaths resulting from
breast and cervical cancers," Ms
Willis-Miller said.
The Breast and Cervical Can-
cer Program will be administered
through the newly established
Women's Services Unit in the
Bureau of Public health.
Proclaiming October Energy
Awareness Month." G.,)vernor
Gaston Capcrton has called on
President George Bush mad Con-
gress to develop a nauonal en-
ergy policy.
Governor Caperton said. "I
hope that Energy Awareness
Month inspires West Virginians
and the naiion to practice energy
conservation every day."
"Recent events in the Middle
East have forced us to realize the
economic impact of not having a
national energy policy. I call on
the President and Congress to
develop a national energy policy
to reduce our dependency on
foreign energy sources and in-
crease our use of alternative en-
ergy sources, including West Vir-
ginia coal," the governor said.
"The nation should act
quickly on a policy of energy in-
dependence, and Energy Aware-
ness Month will help us realize
the importance of this issue." he
added.
Sponsored by the state's Fuel
and Energy Office, the energy
awareness campaign's goal is to
make each citizen aware el
energy's sources, its wise and ef-
ficient use, and its importance to
economic prosperity and na-
tional security.
"A theme of "Plan It for the
Planet" focuses on the planned
use of energy and resources con-
sistent with environmental pres-
ervation," according to Governor
Caperton.
