MOST MOUTH SORES ARE
NUISANCES, BUT FEW
ARE SERIOUS
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
(Editor’s Note: This Is one in
a series of articles about your
health which will appear regular
ly in the Jackson Progress-Argus
as a public service feature.)
We’ve all probably had sores
or small ulcerations in the mouth
at one time or another. Unless
these sores are accompanied by
fever or disease, they are usually
of no great significance. Many
of these pesky little sores are
called canker sores and are
thought to be caused by a virus
infection or an allergy. They
usually heal in 14 to 21 days.
One type of sore in the mouth
can be quite dangerous, however.
Oddly enough, it is one of the
painless types of mouth sores.
Oral cancer of the mouth and
gums is almost always painless in
the early stages. They begin as
small sores, gradually grow and
often ulcerate. They occur more
often in persons over 40 than in
persons under that age. A white
patch, called leukoplakia, often
precedes a cancer of the mouth
or gums. These patches are com
monly found in persons who
smoke heavily or use snuff. The
white areas may be present for
many years before becoming
cancerous.
If cancer of the mouth isn’t
treated in time, it will spread to
the lymph nodes or glands in
either side of the neck and to
other parts of the body.
Poorly fitting dentures are
thought to be one possible cause
of cancer of the mouth and gums.
Dentures should fit well enough
not to rub against the gums as
this will cause chronic irritation.
If treatment is begun early,
the majority of sores or cancers
of the mouth can be cured. They
are treated with surgery or radi
ation or both. When the disease
has spread to the lymph glands,
it is much more difficult to treat.
Sores on the lip are much like
those in the mouth and are treat
ed in much the same way.
DOC MAG SAYS:
1. Any sore or ulceration in the
mouth that does not heal in three
weeks should be examined by a
physician.
2. The only hope of cure of
cancer of the mouth lies in early
diagnosis and treatment.

topic of particular interest to

Kiwanis Observes
41st Anniversary
On Tuesday Night
Jackson Kiwanians and their
ladies observed the 41st anni
versary of their club Tuesday
evening and heard Bob Price,
lieutenant governor of the 12 th
Division, of Fayetteville, deliver
a stirring challenge for more re
sponsible citizenship as the great
est individual role a Kiwanian
may contribute during 1963.
J. W. O’Neal, one of the four
remaining active charter members
along with Elwood Robison Sr.,
David Settle and R. P. Newton,
recalled highlights of Kiwanis
history, including the meeting of
the Georgia District in Jackson
in 1930. At that time, Mr. O’Neal
recalled, there were only six di
visions in the state and Jackson
was in the Ist division. Walter
Roper was president of the Jack
son Club that hosted the state
convention in a three day session.
Mr. O’Neal paid tribute to
“Skeet” Coleman, G. E. Rice,
Park Newton and J. D. Jones Sr.
as the motivating forces behind
the formation of Kiwanis in
Jackson, these men principally,
with the help of others, securing
51 charter members for the club’s
inaugural meeting on January 17,
1922.
President B. Y. Lunceford wel
comed the ladies and visitors.
Park Newton missed his first
ladies night in the club’s 41 years
because of illness. Lt. Gov. Price
presented retiring president John
M. Hutcheson a past president’s
pin.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA
Sponsored by Qa. Dept, of Commerce & Oa. Press Assn.
GEORGIA HERITAGE!—EarIy in July, 1742, a force of about
3,000 Spaniards landed on St. Simons Island bent upon capturing
Frederica and dislodging Oglethorpe’s colony from Georgia. A
series of marches, attacks, ambushes, and counter-attacks kept
the invaders out of Frederica. The climax of these engagements
was the Battle of Bloody Marsh (July 7), in which about 200
Spaniards died or were taken prisoner. Shortly afterwards, the
invaders sailed away from Georgia, influenced probably by the
surprising resistance of Oglethorpe’s men, the possibility of
British reinforcement, and the oncoming hurricane season. This
ended the most immediate serious outside threat to the 9-year
old colony.
