HOSPITAL PATIENT AGAIN I
E. D. Payne, Mason County
Christmas tree firm proprietor,
was roe-admitted to Shelton hos-
pital Monday for medical atten-
tion.
In this mechanical age every
citizen knows the danger of driv-
'ing an automobile with worn—out
lbrake-bands, a knock in the mo-
tor, or a leak in the fuel lines.
The danger signals that a car
gives are recognized promptly and
an expert mechanic is consulted
at once. It is unfortunate, but
true, that the danger signals
which may indicate the presence
of cancer are far less well-known.

sore or tumor of the human body
may be ignored for months.
It is an established fact that
many types of early cancers are
curable in a substantial percent-
age of cases if treated by quali-
fied experts, yet too few people
in the average American Com—
munity are aware of the fact that
this disease can be cured and are
even less informed concerning
the responsibility of the indivi-
dual in the fight to control it.
As citizens we know much about
the machines that carry us around
Ion four wheels; we know too lit-
tle about the more delicate and
more important actions of our
own bodies that move on two
legs.
In 1937, according to the Na-
tional Safety Council, more than
39,000 persons were killed in mo-
tor car accidents. Last year, the
Council estimates that the death
[rate was slightly more than 32,-
‘000. In other words, 7000 peo-
Iple were spared from death and
disaster through education, law
enforcement and common sense.
IA reduction of almost 18% in
deaths due to motor vehicle acci-
dents within two years is a worthy
achievement. Every person is
familiar with the value of educa-
tion to the public and its rela-
Itionship to this reduction in traf—
fic accidents.
Mortality from cancer last year
was nearly five times that from
automobile accidents. If it is
important to carry an on intensive

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ABOUT
CANCER! SERIES STARTS NOW
Army of the American Society for
the Control of Cancer, and with
recognized cancer clinics being
organized by qualified and train-
ed experts, the clouds of fear are
being scattered. Thousands of
people have been cured of cancer
and many of their histories are
now on file with the American
College of Surgeons.
Progress is being made. As
an individual you can help speed
I
one of our busy highways with-
gout first becoming familiar with
Itraffic regulations. In the same
‘manner we should inform our—
selves on the regulations for liv-
ing and for maintaining health.
ICommunities protect themselves
Iby setting up driving tests which
must be passed before a license
to operate a car is secured. In-
dividuals may protect themselves
by learning enough to pass a
cancer control information test.
Laws of public health are just
'as important as traffic regula-
tions. The majority ,of people
realize that sanitary regulations,
Ithe inspection of foods, milk sup-
ply, etc., are all vital to our
Welfare. We know that without
these rules disease would increase
and epidemics would again ravage
our communities. Vaccination,
quarantine, and physical exami-
nations are matters familiar to
most of us. It should be pointed
out that the public has played a
major role in [popularizing rules
of public health. This same
splendid cooperation of physicians
and the public, together with our
system of American Medicine,
brought this country
health record and the lowest death
Irate in its history for. the year
'1939. Conta ious diseases have
been controlled, but cancer re-
mains today a challenge to the in-
telligence of the individual.
Cancer is apparently as old as
man. Records of it are found in
i
Egyptian history of 1500 B. C.I
and in the medical literature of
India of 2000' B. C. Successful
medical efforts to control this
disease, however, are not more
than fifty years old. It is now
known that cancer is a wild
growth of body cells thought to
be caused by chronic irritation.
This ancient enemy of health,
described accurately as the great-
est of all the natural hazards in
the adventure of living, is now
I b e i n g fought by modern
ltechniques on three major fronts:
research, treatment, and educa-
tion. Great progress has been
made in research in studies of can-
cerous tissues and the relation of

is also known that cancer is cur-
y able in the early stages. The
,disease is not contagious and
Iis not due to a germ. Cancer
cannot be transmitted by dishes
or clothing and is not transmit-
ted through the blood. It has
not been proved to be inherited in
In treatment,
Isurgical procedures have been
perfected and developed to in-
clude types of cancer which have
been incurable in the past. The
use of radium has been stand-
ardized and experiments are also
being conducted with million volt
x-rays.
The outlook for the control of
cancer is improving each year.
However, it is true that unless
cancer is found in its early stages
the prospects of cure are not good.
The function of cancer education
is to teach men and Women the
vital importance of early diag-
rnosis and prompt treatment. The
{work of the laboratory and the
physician is fundamental to can-
cer control,.but outstanding medi.
cal and research .men agree that
the most important thing at the.
present time is to educate the
general public. We must replace
fear with courage, and where
there has been ignorance or in-
difference, we must instill life-
saving knowledge.
National health is an essential
part of national defense. This is
.not the time to slacken efforts
to maintain the health of our citi-
zens. .. Cancer is. a disease that
usually affects thdse over forty
years of age. With the draft of
young men, the health of older
workers in industry and on farms
takes on greater significance. It
-is vitally im'ortant, therefore,
that the healt and the Well-be-
ing of the mothers and fathers
of our youth be preserved.
Just as knoWledge and commu-
nity action have reduced the haz-
ards of our existence in many
other‘s‘ituations, so knowledge will
reduce the hazards of cancer,
which today is unneccessarily the
second major cause of death. Just
what should the individual learn
about cancer for his or her own
protection? What should be
Iknown to pass a cancer cbntrol
information test? In short ——
what should you do about can-
Icer?
I To answer these questions and
to see that sound facts reach the
greatest possible number ofpeo-
'ple is the goal of the Women's

Iciety for the Central of Cancer.

New Tax Tokens
To Be Green and
Made From Fibre
Changing its original plans both
for color and material, the state
last week placed an order for ten
million tax tokens to be manu-
factured by a Seattle concern at
a cost of $1.80 per thousand, ac—
cording to press dispatches from
Olympia.
The new tokens, to be used in

be made 0f fibre m—
stead of the originally planned
plastic and will be green instead
of orange.
Fiber was selected because the
government has priority rights
over plastics, now in great de-
mand for use in connection with
idefense activities. Public de-
mand for the change to green
color was heeded.
Fch million of the new tokens
will be delivered by April 25, the
remainder of the order later.
Fifteen tons of fiber will be
used in manufacturing the entire
order of tokens, which will be
slightly smaller than the present
metal disc.
The tax commission said $110,-
000 had been spent on metal and
paper tokens, used in collecting
the present two per cent tax.
They probably will be called in,
in the near future, and junked,
regardless of whether the voters
approve a graduated net income
tax, in which case the three per
cent tax will be automatically
scaled down to the present rate.
For Insane Care
I Olympia, April 3. — Counties
Ihave been requested to withhold
Ipayments to the state on its
,claim for costs of maintaining in-
digent non-violent insane cases in
state institutions, Lew Selvidge,
executive secretary of the County
Commissioners Association, said
today.
The request was made by the
executive committee of the asso-
ciation until the legal liability of
counties can be “completely ex-
plored.”
Care of these cases has been a
source of controversy for several
years, betWeen the state and the
counties. The recent legislature
passsed measures relieving
counties of such costs for the per-
iod between January 1, 1938, and
April 1, 1941, but the measure was
vetoed.
Another bill, relieving the coun-
ties of such expenses in the fu-
ture was approved by the govern-
or.
Selvidge Suggested the execu-
tive committee's request may
place a “cloud” upon the state’s
claim’imt‘il the 1943 legislature.
About $2,000,000 is involved in
the vetoed measure.

4. Persistent indigestion, espec-

5. Sudden changes in the form

If suchsymptoms are present
a physician should be consulted.
The individual must remember
that it is important to avoid all
forms of chronic irritation and
chronic inflammation and that
the best protection against can-
cer is a cOmplete check-up
or physical examination by a
qualified physician once a year-
The individual must remember
that the only acceptable methods
of treating cancer today are by
surgery, or by x-rays and radium
in the hands of qualified experts.
The individual must realize that
it is a personal responsibility to
take part in cancer education.
Such agencies as the Women’s
Field Army of the American So-
ciety for the Control of Cancer
and cancer clinics of local hos-
pitals deserve your support.
Finally, the individual must ob-

cancer by securing pamphlets
from and attending meetings of

shall have even greater success
in controlling cancer than We
have had in reducing other haz-

and automobile accidents.

Forest Census
Shows Increase
All classes of big game animals
on the national forests of Wash-
ington are increasing in numbers,
according to the 1940 game census
estimates prepared by the U. S.
Forest Service.
“The mild open winter of 1939-
40, followed by favorable spring
and fall seasons, has been re-
sponsible for better range con-
ditions and better breeding sea-
sons for practically all kinds of
game, says L. H. Douglas, assist-
,ant regional forester in charge of
wildlife and range management.
An unusual occurrence was the
appearance of a lone bull elk on
the Chelan forest, Which was 75
to 100 miles from any known
Irange population by these animals. .
Elk are reported to be crossing
the Canadian boundary from Cali-
ada along the main Pasayten Riv-
er. The principal herds of Rocky
Mountain elk are found on the
east side of the Snoqualmie forest,
the Wenatchee forest, and the
Umatilla forest in southeastern
Washington.
The rounded estimate figures for
the national forest lands in Wash-
ington showed 49,000 mule deer;
14,000 blacktailcd deer; 1,800
whitetailed deer; 9,000 Rocky
Mountain elk; 3,500 Roosevelt elk; I
5,400 mountain goats;
tain sheep; and 8,000 black bears.
The Chelan forest shows the larg-
est population of mule deer — 20,-
000 and the Columbia forest the
largest blacktailed deer popula-
tion, 4,000.
Blue grouse were reported to
have shown a very substantial in-
crease over 1939.
