Scheele, Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, announced recently. The technique, involving examination of cells which have been shed by the uterus, received its preliminary evaluation on a mass basis in studies conducted in Memphis, Tennessee, during the past two years. ‘These additional pilot projects,” said the Surgeon General, “re present positive steps toward the ultimate goal of totally eliminating this form of cancer which so frequently and tragically attacks women in their early years of maturity.”' The cell examination test is a relatively simple diagnostic pro cedure. A physician or nurse can obtain a specimen of fluid from the vaginal vault both quickly and painlessly. The presence or absence of cancer cells in the specimen can be tentatively established through microscopic examination, and where cancer cells are found present, further study of biopsy is made to establish a firm diagnosis. The Memphis study indicated that uterine cancer could be diag nosed in its early stages and if the tests were applied universally, it would probably be responsible for the almost total eradication of the disorder. In Memphis the tests produced a case-finding rate forty times that observed in the community prior to establishment of the project. In the first seventy thousand women tested, 88.3 percent of the early, highly curable cases of uterine cancer (cancer of the neck of the womb) discovered by this method had not been previously diagnosed nor suspected by the individual. The project locations thus far chosen for further evaluation of the test are: Louisville, Kentucky; Madison, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Charlotte, North Carolina; San Diego, California; Provi dence, Rhode Island; Columbus, Ohio; and Washington, D. C. These programs will be activated as soon as arrangements are completed with sponsoring or cooperating local health and medical agencies. Each project is expected to run for about three years. In some in stances the National Cancer Institute will participate by staffing and equipping local clinics and laboratories; in others, funds will be made available through grants to support work which will be carried out entirely under local auspices. This opportunity for rapid, full evaluation of the cell examination test was made possible by Congress’ special allocation of $500,000 for this purpose, included in the 1956 budget of the National Cancer In stitute. Details concerning the current status of each project are avail able on request. From Around Nebraska Lexington joined with its neighboring town of Cozad last week to buy more pork and bring the pork-eating crown to Nebraska. But the effort was to no avail for the competitor, Audubon, Iowa, won by a substantial margin. Nevertheless, Cozad went all out and everyone concerned had a good time. The Dawson County Herald, published at Lexington, related that residents of that town turned out enmass to help Cozad. Evidently the food store business was good at Cozad last week but the Lexington men got it in the neck for their big-heartedness. An ad in the Herald, inserted by the Cozad bank offered a free picnic ham to anyone over 18 years of age who just stepped into the Cozad bank Numerous other stunts were tried to swell the amount of pork which could be disposed of in Cozad during the week. • * * But at Curtis, Nebraska there wasn’t the pork eating en thusiasm in evidence. A survey of housewives, run by the Curtis Enterprise revealed that the predominating preference was beef. Most of the housewives said their family preferred the beef and they were in accord with the slogan on the new license plates that Nebraska is the “Beef State”. The housewives also told the newspaper that the “Eat More Pork” effort hadn’t stepped up their meat eating of either kind of meat and that they already ate all of the meat they wanted or felt they could afford. • • • The A Capella Choir of Concordia Teachers College, at Seward, is planning a southern tour in April, the Seward Independent has revealed.

The Co-Operatives have tbeen having their annual meetings at which time their profits are made public. At Ogallala, the Junior Chamber of Commerce held a “Boss Night” dinner last evening (Wednesday) at which time the old boys who do the worrying and pay the bills for the other fellows’ mistakes were feted. Each Junior Chamber member acted as a host to his boss and there was an appropriate program to make everyone feel right at home. The 1956 Boss of the year was to be named, also, the Keith County News revealed. • * • * Thirty-three have enrolled in adult education classes at Schuyler, the Sun announced last week. In Blair, 75 signed up for the work. • * • At Neligh over twenty have sought the job as postmaster and applicants will take examinations to determine the right man for the iob. the Neligh Leader has revealed.

Revenue from such a line runs well up into the three figures each month. • • • Six giant cottonwoods in the Dead Timber reserve near Uehl ing have been cut, the West Point Republican has revealed.

Urban League Evaluates Race Relations Progress In Omaha Continued From Page One improving the living and working conditions among the city’s Ne gro and Indian populations. It conducts vocational guidance activities, promotes job opportuni ties, develops neighborhood im provement projects, health educa tion and citizenship responsibil ity programs. It works with city officials, Federal government representa tives, builders, real estate brokers and financing institutions to in crease, conserve and rehabilitate the supply of housing available to Omaha residents. A main feature of the program is that of fostering better inter racial understanding. The im provement of race relations and acceptance of all citizens on in dividual merit are constant ob jectives of the agency’s efforts. The slogan “American Teamwork Works” aptly expresses the Ur ban League’s faith in the demo cratic process. GEORGE H. ROBINSON Executive Secretary Ain't It” So!

QUOTES FROM BRANCH RICKEY ON OCCASION OF 21st ANNUAL SPORTS BANQUET THE 100 PER CENT WRONG CLUB—ATLANTA DAILY WORLD, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JANUARY 20, 1956 “I felt that the time was ripe— that there wouldn’t be any re action on the part of a Great Pub lic if a man had superior skill— if he had intelligence and char acter end had patience and for bearance, and could take it, as of said year. I didn’t make a mis take, there. I have made mis takes, lots of mistakes. A man of exceptional courage and ex ceptional intelligence—a man of basically fine character, and, he can thank his forebearers for a, lot of it. He comes from the. right sort of a home. And I. knew all this. And, when some body somewhere thinks in terms of a local athletic club not play ing some other club because of the presence on the squad of a man of color, I am thinking that! if an exhibition game were to be played in these parts against a team on whose squad was Jackie Robinson, even leaving out all the principle of fair play, all the elements of equality and citizen- j ship, all the economic necessities connected with it, all the viola-' tions of the whole form and- con-j ceptions of our government from! its beginning up to now, leaving all out of the picture, he would be depriving some of the citizens! of his own community, some won-! derful boys, from seeing an ex hibition of skill and technique in the world. And that’s not fair to a local constituency.” The continent of Antarctica is estimated to be an area of six million square miles—approxi mately the area of the United States and Europe combined.
