Pap Test, Breakthrough
In Control Os Cancer
By Dr. John T. Godwin
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This Is one
in a series of articles by medical
members of the Georgia Division
Board of Directors to alert people
to the dangers of cancer and to
what they can do to protect them
selves from needless suffering
and untimely deaths.)

One of the most significant
contributions In man’s efforts to
control cancer has been the dis
covery of the uterine cell exami
nation test—the “Pap” test. This
simple and painless procedure
can assist physicians find signs
of cancer of the uterus while
it is virtually 100 per cent cur
able.
A recent Gallup Poll survey
of American Women revealed that
48 out of every 100 women have
had a "Pap” test for uterine
cancer at least once.
In 1961 a similar survey in
dicated only 30 of 100 to have
had this examination. Since 1937
the mortality rate from uterine
cancer in this country has
dropped by 50 per cent.
The Inexpensive "Pap” test
should be a part of every woman’s
annual cancer detection exam-

and the United States reveals an
average of six cases of pre
viously unsuspected cancer of
the uterus in every 1,000 women
who receive the "Pap" test for
the first time.
For example, in a special
screening program conducted In

1964, of a total of 3,178 slides
examined over a four month per
iod, 51 showed "positive” or
"suspicious” cells. The total
number of cancers in this group
has not been ascertained at this
time.
These results, nevertheless,
give evidence that the "Pap”
test if of great assistance in
detecting early uterine cancer.
It has led to the saving of thou
sands of lives from what was
formerly the number one cause
of cancer deaths in females.
This test is based on the fact
that living tissues constantly shed
cells. The late Dr. George N.
Papanicolaou proved that shed
cells may give clues to certain
diseases. This cytological test
for early cancer bearshlsname.
A sample of cells shed by the
uterus is prepared on slides.

It Is believed that cancer of
the uterus if usually a relatively

The women receiving the "Pap”

that if cancer does develop, it

Rapid Growth Anticipated For

The Oxford Manufacturing
Company, with offices in Atlanta

special report by the New York

cipates rapid growth for Oxford
in the years just ahead.
One of the reasons for this
favorable outlook is the in
creasing importance of the 15 to
24 year age group — one of the
fastest growing portions of the
U. S. population. Teenagers and
youg people in their early twen
ties are the country’s prime ap

Extension Subscriptions.
Count Big Votes This Week
Extension or second payment subscriptions now count the
extra large numbers of votes in the big “Everybody Wins”
prize subscription contest, fast drawing to a close.
For example, a subscriber might have paid a yearly subscrip
tion during the first part of the contest and now wishes to extend
that subscription another two years at the special extension rate
of $6.18, now in effect for the primary purpose of boosting his or
her favorite contestant to the “full limit.”
That extended subscription NOW would not only give your
favorite the remaining votes due on an original subscription but
if that original subscription was turned in during his or her first
week, they would also be entitled to double feature special votes
as stated in the opening announcement of the contest, plus of
course, the 50,000 extra votes given on each and every S2O “club.”
So, if you — and a couple dozen other good friends like you —
would extend that original subscription to the “full limit,” it
would mean more thana million and a half votes for that contestant
in his or her effort to win that grand prize 1966 Ford Fairlane 500
worth $2829.25, a small fortune indeed.
Mr. and Mrs. Subscriber, this message is addressed to you.
Your added "bit” right now might be just the very encouragement
needed to help some deserving contestant "go over the top”
in a big way.
Then, you too could enjoy your satisfying “inner glow” that
comes from having done your share — at actual saving to you —
in making someone very happy, for a long time to come.
Don’t turn your back on a friend.

product line includes young
men’s slacks, shirts and jackets
and young women’s dresses,
blouses, slacks and other sports
wear. It Is also well - situated to
capitalize on the popularity of
stretch fabrics.
The apparel industry presently
consists of an estimated 30,000
concerns, many of them quite
small. The number of large,
financially strong companies has
been growing, while the number
of small firms has declined. This
trend is expected to continue.
The surviving, highly diversified
companies like Oxford should
capture a steadily increasing
percentage of the rapid sales
gains anticipated for the entire
industry.
For the fiscal year ending
May 31, 1966, Oxford profits
should reach $2.00 per share
which would be up 15% from
fiscal 1965.
SPRAY-ON STARCH
If you use spray-on starch,
spray the garment on the wrong
side, roll it up for a few minutes,
then iron it on the wrong side.
This suggestion is from Miss
Lora Laine, Extension home
management specialist. If any
touch-up is needed from the right
side, she suggests using a press
cloth to avoid shine.
Jaycees View
Cancer Film
The American Cancer Soc
iety’s new film “Who Me? ” was
viewed Tuesday night, Oct. 5
by the Newton County Jaycees
at the Elk’s Club.
The film, aimed primarily at
adults, emphasizes the import
ance of giving up smoking, point
ing out that adults’ habits affect
youngsters who will “follow
suit”.
Some 47,000 Americans die
of lung cancer each year, most
of them caused by cigarette
smoking, the Society points out.
The film takes a light, yet
poignant approach to the plight
of the heavy smoker. Its hero
is “George”, a typical Amer
ican, a devoted family man and
father of two. Like many smok
ers, George does his best to
rationalize his habit, but when
he sees what can happen to his
children, he carries out a truly
agonizing reappraisal.
