first of four dispatches telling what
medical science knows about can

of cancer victims.
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
New York - (CPU - Thanks to
tremendous advances in med
ical science and despite the
continuing mystery over the
.cause, cure and prevention of
cancer-you can in this day
and age lick some forms of
this dreaded killer.
Just consider: 20 years ago,
ix out of every seven per
sons afflicted with cancer
died; 10 years ago, three out
of every four were doomed.
Today, one out of every
three cancer patients is re
stored to health.
"With present knowledge
and resources we should be
able to save one in two," says
Dr. John R. Heller, director
of the National Cancer Insti
tute, Betheda, Md.
"The challenge is to over
come the lag . between what
we know about cancer and
what we do about it."
One Great If
There is one great If to this
matter of reducing cancer
deaths to 50 per cent or less.
That "if" is you-if you con
quer the unreasoning fear of
cancer that grips so many of
us; if you take certain simple
precautions; and if you con
sult a cancer-alert physician
and cooperate fully with him.
Today, cancer deaths in the
U.S. total 225,000 a year. But
today, also, 150,000 persons a
year who once would have
been given up as hopeless are
meeting cancer face to face
and beating it.
Dr. Lowell T. Coggeshall,
president of the American
Cancer society, points out
that "the most recent increase
in the number of persons
saved from cancer ... has
netted an additional 38,000
lives a year.!
But, he adds: "Seventy-five
thousand persons still are dy
ing needlessly."
No Magic
There is no magic in these
dramatic figures telling the
story of how not to die of
cancer. But there are require
ments: The curable cancer must be
diagnosed before it has spread
to the point of no return.
Your doctor must find it.
To try to save those addi
tional 75,000 lives, the Ameri
can Cancer society bombards
Seven Signals For
Cancer Danger Listed
New York-4UP&-The Ameri
can Cancer society lists these
seven danger signals of can
cer. '
1. Ununusal bleeding or dis
charge. .
2. A lump or thickening in
the breast or elsewhere.
3. A sore that does not heal.
. 4. Change in bowel or blad
der habits.
5., Hoarseness or cough.
6. Indigestion or difficulty
in swallowing..
7. Change in a" wart or
mole.
If your signal lasts longer
than two weeks, see your doctor.
laymen and practicing physi
cians with cancer-alerts and
bulletins.
Thirty times a ' year, the
average person hears or reads
about the "seven danger sig
nals" of cancer and is urged
to get an annual cancer-seeking
checkup:
If you know the common
danger signals, and if you
get that yearly checkup, you
are contributing intelligently
to prolonging your own life.
But that's not the whole story.
Depends on Medics
"It seems obvious," Dr.
Coggeshall said, "that the
public education program can

succeed only to the extent
that proper facilities for de
tection and diagnosis exist.
Largely this depends on a
medical profession which
also has an 'awareness of
cancer."
Where do you come in?
"I know nothing more dif
ficult on this earth," said Dr.
Coggeshall, "than the task of
trying to tell people what is
good for them. Most Ameri
cans have a peculiar built-in
resistance to advice.",
Yet, 75,000 Americans who
died in the last 12 months
might be alive today if they
had taken the advice that
was available to them.
It's something 'to think
about.

McNeil Warns Residents
About 'Fast Buck Artists'
A number of photography
schemes conducted by fast
buck operators have been re
ported in the county during
recent years, Don McNeil,
manager of the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce,
warned residents this month.
Although most photograph
ers earn favorable recognition
in their community through
the artistry "of their work and
customer satisfaction, McNeil
said that the photography
field had been invaded by
swindlers.
He mentioned that these
"fast buck artists" had cheat
ed the public out of millions
of. dollars and cast an unwar
ranted stigma upon an honor
able business.
Babies Target
The photo swindle schemes
vary, the manager said, but
the most prevalent are aimed
at families with new babies.
Some secure lists of families
with new babies and subject
them to high pressure tele
phone while others display
samples of beautiful pho
tography and lead victims to
believe that they can obtain
a photograph of the same
high quality by buying a cou
pon for from $1 to $2.
McNeil added that the work
is almost never done in
"studios" since many of the
outfits using this scheme do
not have one.
Other of these operators
promote phony baby contests
while some offer "free" al
bums for the mother to keep
a record of the baby's pro
gress. ' ,
Also reported was a scheme
where the operator offers to
enlarge a customer's old fam
ily photograph and finish it
in oils for the mere cost of
the materials used
Customer Protected
Anyone of these methods
may be used legitimately, Mc
Neil explained, they become
rackets only when they em
Hfoy the abuses described. .
Consumers can protect
themselves from the pho
tographers they know by ex
perience or reputation to be
reliable; be wary of free of
fers; question coupon deals
or other gimmicks which
would lead a person to be
lieve that they can buy a
single photograph for a very
low price; avoid contests
whose sponsors require the
customer to have a picture
taken by them; be on guard
against the telephone pitch
man who offers 'something-
for-nothing,' and watch out
for solicitors who falsely state
that a local hospital has au
thorized them to photograph
the baby at their expense.
Read Contracts
McNeil said that photo
graphs should not be bought
because some salesman says
the child is photogenic, and
don't forfeit a priceless family
photograph to any unknown
salesman who offers to en
large and color it without full
investigation of the total price
of the delivered article, frame
and all.
The local chamber of com
merce manager stressed that
in buying photographs do not
sign any contract until it has
been read and all mutual ob
ligations are understood. If
in doubt about a photographer
ask the local chamber of com
merce.

In the same way that sterling on silver signifies
a standard of known value', so is the A.B.C. em
blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of
newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu
lation so identified is measured according to the
rules and standards of the Audit Bureau of
Circulations
The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit
association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these
buyers and sellers of advertising brought order
out of advertising chaos by setting
tip standards for paid circulation
and establishing rules and methods
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A.B.C.,
of which this newspaper is proud to
ue
be a member, provides you with a direct and.
valuable service. You can buy advertising as you
would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known
values.
At regular intervals one of the Bureau's large
staff of experienced circulation auditors makes a
thorough audit of our circulation records. The
results of this exacting audit show: How much
circulation we have; where our circulation goes;
how it was obtained; and many other facts that
you need in order to know just what
you get for your advertising dollars.
This audited' information is pub
