EARLY CANCER IS
EASY TO REMOVE,
ZONTACLUB TOLD
Cancer Control Topic of Dr.
Sleeter at Regular Meet
ing of Women's Group-
Our main objective If to edu
cate the afflicted to come to the
doctor early a cancer in the
beginning U as easily removed
as bird shot. This was the mes
sage brought to members of
Zonta last night by Dr. Robert
W. Sleeter, who spoke on cancer
control at the regular meeting
of the Medford branch at the
Girls' Community club.
"Cancer Is absolutely not con
tagious, absolutely not commun
icable", Dr. Sleeter stated, men
added that beyond that little is
really known about the cause of
the dreaded disease, which Is In
creasing In Oregon. In 1830
there were 28 deaths from can
cer in Jackson county. In 1935
there were 40, in 1939 there
were SO deaths from the disease.
Oregon Rate High
Oregon's death rate is pretty
high, the speaker added, show
ing that in Oregon there were
133 deaths per1 100,000 while in
the United States as a whole
during the same period there
were 112 deaths per 100,000.
South Carolina has 4he lowest
death rate from cancer and
Rhode Island the highest. To be
perfectly fair In the presenta
tion of statistics, the doctor
added, "these figures may only
mean that more people in some
atates avoid other health haz
ards and thus reach the cancer
age, which Is accepted as the
period from 38 to 63.
"This again does not mean
that all people with cancer have
cancer during this period of
life. It Just means", he explained
to the Zontians, "that more
cancer has been discovered in
people of this age span."
Asked the causes of cancer.
Dr. Sleeter stated "no function
that is normal to the body
should cause cancer, but any
function that is abnormal may.
A portion of the body that is
irritated In any way is more
apt to develop the cancer, which
is a mistake in growth. Why a
cancer cell starts growing no
one knows now anymore than
we know why our fingers grow
to a certain length and stop.
Answer Coming
The young physician did ex
press the belief, however, that
years of research and work will
find the answer. He said he did
not think that the secret of can
cer would someday be discover
ed by accident or luck as many
great findings have been, but
that It would result from the
years of study which founda
tions, schools, clinics, organiza
tions and individual physicians
are devoting to it.
He commended highly the
Women s Field Army for Con
trol of Cancer, which is get
ting a unit well organized In
Medford under the leadership
of Mrs. Ralph Boutclle.
Early Treatment Vital
"The thing to remember Is,"
Dr. Sleeter declared again In
closing, "an early cancer is easy
to cope with, an old cancer is
incurable. If we can lust get
people to realize that, half the
battle Is won".
Dr. Sleeter was Introduced to
the Zontians by Mrs. Lois
loung, program chairman for
the evening. Miss Janle Smith.

business session, which followed

sum and volunteered to give in
addition about $7 worth of cig
arettes for the guardsmen when
they leave for camp.
Emergency Cited
Frank Hull, committee secre
tary, informed the committee he
had been told that some employ
ers were a trifle disgruntled ov
er receiving short notice from
employes that they had enlisted
in the national guard and would
soon leave for camp. Mr. Hull
suggested that the urgent nature
of the situation be explained to
employers. He pointed out that
an emergency exists, that some
youths will not make up their
minds to enlist until the last
minute and that under such cir
cumstances there is liable to be
short notice of employment sev
crance. in number of in
stances. Carold J. Parker suggested
that the boys give as much ad
vance notice as possible and to
go directly to their employers
or supervisors and talk the mat
ter over frankly.

Sam McCee, Hero
Of Service Poem
Diet Long After
Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 10
(CP) Sam McGee, old-time
Yukoner who lived for 40
years after Robert W. Service
wrote a poem describing his
cremation by "the Marge of
Lake Lebarge," died Saturday
at Beisker, Alta., according to
word received here today by
L. B. Jones from McGee's
daughter, Mrs. Ethel McGee
Gramma of Beisker.
McGee, who was to have
visited Jones this month, had
a hard time convincing peo
ple he was the same McGee
of Service's poem. When he
visited the Yukon two years
ago he found that a two-room
shack he built at White Horse
in 1900 had been turned into
tea-room with a sign Invit
ing passersby to "have a cup
of tea with the ghost of Sam
McGee"
he called the "absolute terror"
of sending boys unprepared to
war. He saw much of that in the
World war, he declared, and de
scribed such action as "sheer
murder." It war is to come to
this country, he indicated, it is
for the protection of the boys
themselves that they be ade
quately trained; if war does not
come, the boys will have re
ceived valuable training. He as
serted that men cannot be
trained for war in a few months
after an invasion becomes Im
minent. Speaker! Named
Dr. Divine appointed Lloyd
Williamson and H. J. Meiring
as speakers to address service
clubs this week. The chairman
expressed the committee's ap
preciation of Herb Grey's edi
torials in Monday's Mail Trib
une. He added that the com
mittee was receiving the fullest
cooperation in all quarters.
The meeting was adjourned
to 8 p.m. Friday at the chamber
of commerce.

ford, commemorating the 75th
anniversary of the Institution.

toastmaster for the pleasant af
fair and informal spontaneous
entertainment was enjoyed by
the local bank group. Tele
grams expressing the greetings
and good wishes of local firms
and Individuals were read.
The First National Bank of
Portland was established back
In Civil War days when settlers
were coming to the new Oregon
country over the famous Oregon
Trail. Express companies in
those days acted as depositories
"for the transporting and safe
keeping of gold dust", accord
ing to an attractive brochure en
titled "75 Dramatic Years", is
sued by the First National Bank
upon the occasion of this anni
versary. The history of the First Na
tional Bank is closely linked
with that of the state and the
pioneer banking Institution has
steadily grown in pace with the
northwest. The original charter
to the bank was granted on Sep
tember 8. 1865, signed by Free
man Clarke, comptroller of the
currency. According to a con
densed statement of the First
National Bank, resources now
exceed 128 million dollars and
loans and discounts, represent
ing money at work in this state,
total $46,365,082.

41 branches throughout the
state of Oregon, three of which

U. S. BE SPARED
Klamath Editor in Talk to
Pro-America Says Un
filled Promises Menace-
"God save us from super
men," said Frank Jenkins,
Klamath Falls publisher, as he
concluded an interesting talk
Monday noon to members of
Medford Pro-America club. Re
publican men, and others in the
Hotel Holland.
Continuing, Mr. Jenkins named
Napoleon, Mussolini and Hitler
among the "supermen" and said
that if dictatorship comes to this
country it will come out of the
reaction of disillusioned people
to the promises made over a
long period of years and not
fulfilled, and not by armed
revolution or fifth columnists.
He asserted that "a common
ordinary person, representing
the homely virtues of ordinary
people like Wendell Willkie,
Republican presidential nomi
nee, should be elected for presi
dent, and not a 'superman',"
Influence Suggested
The publisher, who is author
of a daily column titled "In the
Days News," said that prior to
now he hadn't cared much
about trying to influence people
through writing or talking.
Reason for the change, he said,
is "Pro-America for America."
He suggested that members of
the audience Influence the In
dependent voter.
Mr. Jenkins spoke at length
on the "doctrine of planned
scarcity" which has been preva
lent in economic affairs of the
country during the present ad
ministration and the rising na
tional debt, ceiling for which
has now been set at fifty billion
dollars- At this point, the pub
lisher compared the spendthrift
ways of the ruling Stuarts in
the 17th century to those of
Roosevelt.
"The basic principle of gov
ernment is close at home and
close to the people," Mr. Jenkins
recalled.
Mrs. Weiihaar Presides
Mrs. H. M. Weishaar presided
at the session in the absence of
Mrs. Raymond Driver, president.
She welcomed several Ashland
members of Pro-America includ
ing Mrs. H. C. Galey. president
of the Lithia group. Mrs. Galey,
in a brief talk, mentioned the
number of tasks to be accom
plished by Republicans In the
present campaign.
Several local club members
volunteered to donate flags to
the recently opened Republican
headquarters here and the club
was invited to attend a lunch
meeting of the Central Point
organization September 27-
Kenneth Denman, president
of the Republican men's organ
ization, suggested that as many
Medforditos as possible Journey
to Klamath Falls on September
22 to hear Wendell Willkie
give a scheduled train platform
speech.

REAL
FOR
Payments Continue More
Than Double Second Day
Last Year's Bargain Days
At the close of the second
day of the Mail Tribune's an
nual Bargain Days period yes
terday, subscription - payments
continued to be more than dou
ble those of the corresponding
second-day checkup of last year's
Bargain Days, according to Ger
:U T. Latham, circulation man
ager. In citing reasons for the sharp
Increase in the number of sub
scriptions received this year.
Mr. Latham pointed out that
persons apparently were realiz
ing more and more the actual
bargain offered them by the
Bargain Days rates. He ex
plained that, on the $8-a-year
carrier rate, the Mail Tribune
costs but 50 cents a month, and
on the $4 50-a-year mail rate in
Jackson, Josephine and, Siskiyou
counties the paper costs but 37V4
cents a month.
2,980 Papers Monday.
Mr. Latham said that 27 city
carriers, who are authorized to
accept Bargain Days subscrip
tions, delivered 2,980 papers to
regular customers yesterday.
The average carrier delivers 110
copies a day and complaints on
paper delivering average less
than two a month, Mr. Latham
stated. This means, he explain
ed, that the average carrier will
deliver 2.860 papers with only
two complaints or misses.
"In addition to operating their
own routes," Mr. Latham said,
"the 27 city carriers run their
own complaint service. Instead
of having a messenger deliver
misses, each carrier has office
duty once a month and handles
all delivery of unsatisfactory
deliveries that evening. By
having their own system they
are not charged for complaints."
Carriers are little business
men, Mr. Latham explained, and
therefore are interested in mak
ing money the surest and sim
plest way. Subscriptions paid
by the year gives the carrier
the same amount he would re
ceive if he had to collect each
month.
Ambition Shown.
A fine example or the ambi
tion possessed by all carriers.
Mr. Latham said, is Edward
Evanson, who is handling route
10 in the city, which covers
West 10th street from Laurel to
Lincoln streets. Mistletoe and
South Newtown between 10th
and. Main streets, the 200 and
300-blocks of South Orange and
part of King street. Ed deliver
ed 122 regular subscribers yes
terday and hopes to have 75
per cent of his customers pay
by the Bargain Days rate, Mr.
Latham stated.
In addition to delivering his
paper route, Ed has been doing
the Janitor work at the Mail
Tribune for the past two years.
He started carrying papers in
July of 1936. and is the tallest
carrier employed by the paper.
He is six feet four inches tall,
and 19 years old.
He was graduated from Med
ford senior high school last year,
and has supported himself
through school and saved mon
ey. He is undecided whether to
attend business college or re
turn to Minnesota and take up
farming.
