Moseley, Chairman Harlem Committee American Cancer Society) Cancer among Negroes has registered more than a 50% increase in the death rate between the years 3930 to 3940. Cancer among the general population also registered an increase during this period. In fact during the past generation, cancer lias risen to take its place next to heart disease, as one of the two greatest killers of mankind! Why are we seeing so many earner eases today f Some of this increase is only apparent. Extend ing to the Negro people some of the benefits < f modern mdical ear, ae* no doubt been responsible for some of the increase. Better diagnosis by doc tors themselves, is responsible for some of the in crease. Previously many Negro and white cancel- 1 cases ha' e either gone undiagnosed at all or have been incorrectly diagnosed. Now new diagnostic instruments and procedures better enable the doe tor to say more accurately what the disease it. The advance in conquering the infectious and con tagious diseases also accounts for some increase— Ijotli because it searates cancer cases from the in fectious diseases, and because it has increased the span of life generally. Since the beginning of the 1900s tremendous strides were made. The remark able development of the sulfa drugs and the recent discovery of Penicillin have given doctors real weaons to fight infections. AAntitoxins against diptheria and scarlet fever were developed. Vac cinations against small pox and inn< filiations a % gainst typhoid have all saved hundreds of thous ands of lives. As a result people who formerly were dying in their adolescence of contagious dis eases, or later from pneumonia and streptococcus infections, now live to middle and late middle age. While cancer strikes at every age, it does strike more heavily at older people. This is another rea son for the apparent increase in cancer. It is a fact however, that the increase among recorded Ne gro deaths is about 1-3 greater than among white. Here is a challenge to all Negroes and to all public health agencies. The benefits of newer drugs and newer diagnos tic procedures have come to Negroes more slowly than to others. In many sections of this country. Negroes receive no medical or very inadecpiate medical care. The life expectancy of the Negro today is where that o ftlie white was 40 years ago. While the average white male lives to the age of 63, the average Negro male lives only to 52. While white females live to 67 on the average, Negro fe males live onlv to 55. * The Negro must be aware of many advances that j have been made in medicine generally, so that he! too may be able to reap the benefits. He must i learn to go to his doctor or clinic for periodic medic al examinations. The examinations should be thor ough. Cancer can be cured when caught early. Some of the increase in cancer cases among Negroes can be brought down by early and prompt treat ment. _ Announcing The Grand opening of The Lake St. Grocery 2531 Lake St. Ja-1041 Friday & Saturday Oct. 5 th & 6th 1945 PROMPT FREE DELIVERY Formerly the Montgomery Grocery has been taken over by Mrs. Bertha Bell, Mr. Neely Williams and Mr. Wardell Brown, and hereafter will be known as The Lake St. Grocery. v October 5th and 6th will be bargain day for you.

There’s the pleasant myth of Santa Claus — all right for chil dren. But even Santa Claus must have a financial backer. Certain dreamy politicians have sought to cinch their jobs by creating the myth of a Santa Claus government that could plan everything and take care of everybody — sorta wrap every body in cotton forever—at no cost to anybody.
