Since the snow came rural
roads are hard to travel and
most all of the Yellow River
League basketball games have
been postponed, thus bringing
about a shortage in local sports
news.
It is the policy of the man
agement to bring News readers
the best, in local news while it
is news and with this in mind,
the sport page, edited by Tom
Kinney, will not appear in this
issue.
It is hoped that the weather
will permit playing of games
next week and that the schools
in this county and surround
ing counties will co-operate by
sending in reports on their
games to Mr Kinney not later
than Tuesday each week, there
by making it possible to con
tinue the sport page, which has
won high praise throughout the
county.

Cancer Kills 1J63
In State Last Year
Cancer, which in 1938 wa* the i
cause of 1,929 deaths in Georgia as
compared with 1.763 deaths five
years previous, is one of ihe major
problems in public health today .ac
cording to Dr, T. F. Abercrombie. |
director of the State Department of
Publit . Hea i t h.
During the last 30 years cancer
has advanced from the sixth to the
second place as a cause of death in
this couniry, and the disease exacts
a toll of more than 150,000 lives an
nually in the United States, the
health director states.
He explained that the average age
at death from cancer is 50 years.;
Thus cancer in Georgia deprived;
of a total of 38.580 years of
expectant life in 1938 with a mon
etnry loss of hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
“Unlike other diseases, cancer is
not self-limited; no protective im
mu nity Is developed. The disease is
insidious in its onset and steady in)
its progress, and if untreated pur
sues a relentless course to a fatal
termination. It. is ihe absolute cer
taintv of this course of events that
makes this disease a tragedy un
pqualley by any other aliment that
affects the human body,” Dr. Aber-;
crombie said.
Many difficulties obstruct the
progress of cancer control,
health director pointed out. Princi
pal among these difficulties is the
ignorance of the general public con
cerning the nature of the disease.
its early signs and symptoms; and
delay due to this lack of knowledge
in seeking early diagnosis and treat
ment when the disease is still cur
| able.
other difficulties encountered 1
which obstruct the progress of can
C er control include the lack of wide
( spread interest on the part of the;
general practitioner in giving
{ ic ient attention to preenne?rous
conditions to correct them; lack of!
\ the essential facilities on the part)
0 f the general practitioner, partic
u ] ar ] y ln rural communities to def- 1

the condition whilp it i s earlv and

ability of many persons to obtain
adequate treatment.
