Cancer In Women Studied
Further studies of a new method for detecting uterine cancer,
the second most deadly form of cancer in women, will be conducted
in eight communities throughout the country, Leonard A. 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.

and another at Giltner exceeded $50,000. 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.

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

QUOTES FROM BRANCH

THE 100 PER CENT WRONG

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.”

estimated to be an area of six
million square miles—approxi
mately the area of the United
