Breast
Cancer
Prevalent
Breast cancer, the most
prevalent form of cancer in
Georgia women, is actually
one of the ‘“easiest” cancers
to detect, and in its early
stages, can often be cured,
Dr. John P. Wilson, Medical
Vice President of the Georgia
Division of the American
Cancer Society, reported this
week.
And yet, according to Dr.
Wilson, the death rate from
breast cancer since 1950 here
in our state has climbed
from 7.7 to 10.2 per 100,000
population, and last year
(1966) nearly one-in-eleven
cancer deaths was from
breast cancer,
This cancer, Dr. Wilson
explained, carries its own
built-in warning system.
“The practice of regular
monthly breast self-exami
nation can do more to give
women an opportunity to
discover at the outset any
lump or thickening. This
simple yet effective self-ex
amination can do much tc
turn this rising death rate—
more probably than any
other control measure avail
able at the present time.”
Dr. Wilson revealed an es
timated 1,100 new cases of
breast cancer for Georgia in
1968. Nationally, 27,000
deaths are expected, making
breast cancer the leading
cause of cancer death in
American women.,
Dr. Wilson pointed out
that not all breast tumors
are cancer, but said that a
trip to the doctor is neces-
fl h o n
even fish like a choice.

Pardon us for carping on a tired subject, but anybody likes a
choice. Fishermen will tell you even the finny tribe wants variety.
And we think people deserve better than that!
So it behooves us all to keep advertising alive. For as adver
tising flourishes so flourishes competition. And where there’s
competition, you, the consumer, fare better. And that's no
fish tale.

sary as soon as a new un
usual formation in the breast
is discovered accidentally or
in the practice of self-exam
ination.
Cancer of the breast, he
added, occurs most often in
women over 40, but may
occur in younger women. It
is found only rarely in men.
Treatment today usually
consists of surgery, radiation
and chemotherapy as neces
sary.
“Despite the threat of
breast cancer,” Dr. Wilson
concluded, “it still remains
one of those types of cancer
against which women can
personally do something to
defend themselves.”
He urged women to ask
their doctor for instructions
in self-examination or to
write for the American Can
cer Society leaflet PER
SONAL MEMO that outlines
the procedure for Breast
Self-Examination. The ACS
also has a 16mm film BSE
available for free loan to
show to women’s groups,

Milner Falcons Win
Over Forest Park
‘The Class C Milner Falcons apparently didn’t read the
team statistics of Forest Park before their game with them
Thursday night. Or if they did, the Falcons must not have been
too impressed.
They demolished the AAA Panthers, 47-34 to take home the
winners’ trophy in the annual Flint River Tournament at North
Clayton.
“I definitely think we won be
cause of our defense,” said Mil
ner coach Chuck Miller. “Our
man-to-man stopped them, and
they cculdn’t drive in and- shoot
the way I imagine they were
used to doing. Our defense beat
Fairburn last night (Wednes
day), and I think that gave us
a boost. A lot of people picked
them to win this thing.”
The Panthers, who came into
the tournament with a 4-1 rec
ord, got off to a fast start, tak
ing a commanding lead, 18-6.
But the Falcons fought back into
contention and trailed 18-16 with
four minutes remaining in the
first half. Forest Park scored
twice and Milner scored once
to run the score to 22-18 at half
time.
After another period of play
the Falcons trailed by a mere
point, 30-29. On several occa
sions they had had opportuni
ties to take the lead, but never
could make the try count.
Then with 5:53 remaining Mil
ner took the lead, 33-31, and
Forest Park’s hopes were
smashed. Two quick jumpers by
Bobby York put Milner ahead,
37-31, and the Falcons went into
a slowdown offense.
THE PANTHERS were un
able to work against the pre
cision ball-handling of the Fal
cons and completely fell apart.
In desperate attempts to get the
ball Forest Park committed
fouls that served only to add
insult to injury.
With 46 seconds left to play
Milner led, 39-32, but the Fal
cons added eight more points
while the Panthers could get but
two.
“All these boys — York,
(Tony) Laney, (Wayne) Vaughn,
(Randy) Buffington, (Skipper)
Brannon, and (Arthur) .Ether
idge—did a tremendous job,”
said Miller. “We lost seven
boys from last year’s team, and
these boys have really been
working hard.” :
“Right now we have a 12-3
record, but we’ll be right in
there when the season gets go
ing strong,” Miller added.

TRANSPLANT OF HEART
(Continued From Page 12)
On the cross Jesus died of
a broken hcart. When they
jabbed in the spear, out
came water and blood. Sci
entists tell us that this re
sulted from the great emo
tional concern for others
and actually brought about
His death.
His death on the cross
makes possible new life for
us. In His dying, He re
‘deemed mankind, and set
them free. This transaction
was performed over nineteen
hundred years ago, but it is
available for any human be
ing who will receive this gift
of God. When we are saved
by Christ, we are also saved
for Him.
The gift of God is eternal
life. It begins now with new
concepts, new joy, new hope
and really a new life. Paul
writes to the church at Cor
inth and says, “If any man
be in Christ, he is a new
creature, old things are
passed away behold all
things become new.”
