Wheeler County Eagle
OFFERS REV. LEDBETTER
: FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Mr. Editor:
It is generally understood that
Hon. J. M. Clements will offer
for the Senate, as this is Wheels
er’s time to name the Senator, I
was thinking over the matter of
who would make us a good Rep*
resentative. Rev. C. M. Ledbetter
has held his voting priviledges
here forabouttenor twelve years
here in Wheeler County. I have
mentioned the matter to ssveral
over the county and it seems to
meet the approval generally and
a good idea would be to draft M-.
Ledbetter and run him for the
House. On account of his wide in
formation, unimpeachable char'
acter and state wide acquain'
ance, he would take a command'
ing position in the legislature
from the beginning.
It appears to me we could do
no better than to ask that this
man represent us in the legisla'
ture. We should just draft him
and put him in the race, and I
would be one of those helping to
pay his entrance fee and ask him
to run, No better man could be
found.
His friend,
J. E. Bomar.

CANCf R ms
Will GET AID FREE
Until further notice all cancer
patients who are certified by
county welfare boards as being
unable to pay for treatment will
be given free medical attention
at one of the cancer treatment
centers located in Atlanta,
Augusta, Macon, Thomasville,
and Columbus.
This decision was reached
yesterday at a meeting of the
conference committee of the
Georgia campaign for the control
of cancer. This group acts as a
liaison committee between the
State department of public health
and the medical association of
Georgia.
The decision to provide free
treatment for indigent patients
was reached after a report on
the cancer control campaign sub
mitted by Dr. J. W. Scheres
chewsky as acting director of
cancer control for the State
health department. Dr. Scheres
chewskjr reported splendid co'
operation on the part of physici'
ans and public generally in a
campaign to inform the public
that cancer may be cured in its
early stages but is fatal if
neglected, and that early diag'
nosis, therefore, is important.
Dr. Schereschewsky repro
sents the state in the cancer
control campaign being con
ducted by the State health de'
partment; the medical association
of Georgia, and the Women’s
Field Army of the Americaq' 1
Society for the Control of Cancer
As a result of the conference
committee's action and the ap'
proval of Dr. T. F. Abercrombie,
head ot the State Health Depart'
ment, indigent patients not only
will receive free diagnosis at the
treatment centers, but also radi'
ation, both x-ray and radium,
surgical service and, if necessary
hospitalization, all to be paid for
out of the state appropriation
for public health.
