Local Hospital Tumor Registry Report Submitted The first annual report of the Sacred Heart hospital tu mor registry has been sub mitted by the hospital's com mittee on cancerJt was pre sented to the hospital staff "according to the directive and as a prerequisite for aiv ceptance by the American Col lege of Surgeons." All patients admitted . to Sacred Heart between June 1, 1957 and May 21, 1959, with a diagnosis - of cancer are included in the report. Of the total of 233 cases, 226 were confirmed histologi cally, giving a microscopic confirmation percentage of 97 per cent. At the end of a two-year period, 78.9 per cent of the total cases survive. Thirty-nine cases were pre sented in eleven staff confer ences attended by an average of 20 physicians, according to the' report.

The association was aided last year by a $108 outlay from the United Medford Cru sade.- A $165 quota for the ASHA has been set for the Crusade's fund drive this fall, according to Howard B. Cook, Crusade executive secretary who appeared with Clarke at the luncheon. Confidential Surveys The confidential- surveys, Clarke said, are directed from a New York office to which the investigators reply directly. The survey results, he con tinued, are forwarded for in formation and corrective ac1 tion to mayors, city managers, chiefs of police, state ' attor neys general and boards of health. Clarke said after the lunch eon that a survey of Medford had been made in the last two or three years, he was not sure exactly when. Medford is now a "clean" city, he said. But he warned that it could become vice-rid den again if officials and citi zens relaxed their vigilance. He said there used to be a huge vice 'ring operating throughout Oregon and the west coast. Survey Results Asked if the results of the recent survey he referred to might be available locally; Clarke said he thought the re port would probably (be found at tne state level, several city and county officials Tuesday said they were not familiar with any such report. "I can state categorically-," Clarke told the small group at the roundtable, "that you do not have commercial vice without graft. Somebody is getting something out of it. Somebody is being paid off." "One of the best methods of prevention" is to keep a community "informed and alerted," Clarke said. He later stated, however, that while vice survey reports favorable to a community are often released to the press and public, those disclosing unfa vorable conditions are usually submitted to local officials, in confidence. He said such un favorable reports would be made public only "as a last resort" in cases where the of ficials failed to take action on their own. Vice and Graft Asked if he considered this the best practice-since, if as he said, vice and graft went together it was possible the officials who received the re ports in confidence Were in volved in. graft themselves- Clarke replied that public of ficials were assumed to be honest and sincere in all cases until proven otherwise. Some -police chiefs, he as serted, are honestly not aware of vice conditions in their own communities. He explained this by citing the devious methods of underworld opera- J tors. - On the nation's venereal disease problem and its in roads into' the ranks of teen agers, Clarke reported that a new infection takes place" at least once every 11 minutes and possibly as often as once ever three minutes. One in ev ery 200 American teen-agers will acquire venereal disease this year, he asserted. Clarke ' said the Oregon state board of health has re ported an increase of 3V times in the number of teen agers incurring venereal dis ease in the past decade. Ille gitimate, children, , he added, are also on the rise. , i Voluntary Service Agency The ASHA, he said, is a 47- year-old yoluntary community service agency dedicated to social health primarly through preservation of the family.
