Facts On Cancer

more common and the basis for the
development of uterine cancer is
thus laid down.
Negro women suffer less from
cancer of the breast than do white
women. The prevalence rate for
this type of cancer is so per
cent higher in white women than
in Negroes. Cancer of the breast
occurs most often, although not
exclusively, in women who have not
had children. This is quite con-
trary to cancer of the womb which
occurs far often in women who
have had children than in those who
have not. Since the birth rate is
higher in Negroes than in whites, il
is not difficult to understand the
greater frequency of cancer of the
breast in whites.

Cancer of the uterus (womb)
occurs about twice as frequently in
colored women as in white women.
This is, in fact, the critical point
in our attack against cancer in Ne
groes. Not only do twice as many
colored as white women have can
Ger of the uterus, but this disease
attacks Negroes at an earlier age.
It is a common occurrence in can
Ger clinics to see young Negro
women in their tWenties with adj
vanced cancer of the cerviX Open
ing of the womb.
This difference between the two
races, in the prevalence rate for
cancer Of the uterus, is not believed
10 be the result of any inherent or
biological disSimilarities. 1t is be-
iieved rather than those conditions
which are predisposing to cancer are
more frequent among Negro wo-
men Most clinicianS believe that
cancer Of the cerviX is more likely
TO develop when tears and infec-
tions resulting from childbirth are
not properly cared for.
MIDWIVES. ACTIVE IN SOUTH
The Bureau of the Census re-
ported in 1899 from a cancer sur
vey conducted in the South, that
midwives delivered about 20 per
cent of the birth to colored mothers
in southern cities of 10000 or more
population. These 20 per cent of
deliveries by midwives to Negro
mothers may be compared with
about 3 per cent of deliveries by
midwiVeS to white mothers in the
same area. In northern cities, less
than l per cent of white and col
ored babies are delivered by mid
wives. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that colored mothers in the south
receive less adequate care at child
birth than do white mothers. La

of age. | have not consented fol-
her to receive company and last
week she ran away. She was found
in a nearby city with a distant
cousin who is much too much OF
the same type to give her any
sound advice. I wouldn't mind
some fellows coming to see her but
the man that she has 'crush" on

associate with her. feel like plac-
ing her in boarding school. Perhaps
it vii help her to get her mind off
the young man. She is my only
child and I have great plans in
store for her. What would you
suggest that I do?
Disturbed Mother
Dear Disturbed Mother,
The first task that cOnfrOnts you
is the establishment of a bond OF
/, understanding between you two.
She must be led to believe that you
know best and that she can cOnfide
in you. Until that bond is created
you will find that she will seek
guidance and advice from the out
side You can't thrust principles
down the threats of young people
without reasoning with them. If
you object to the young man that
she likes it is better not to show
your dislike openly for it will only
serve any of them in your own
parIor rather than on the street
corner away from your supervi-
sion? Win her confidence and make
her know that you are her best
friend. Sending her away without
understanding between you will
only complicate matters.

AMERICAN UNIONS
HELPED EUROPE'S
UNDERGROUND
By MATTHEW O


Relaxation of censorship in Europe
brings the unwilling of American labor's
unstinting financial aid to workers OF
the underground.
This money, allocated by the National
War Fund and administered by Labor's
War Relief Program, salvaged hundreds
Of union members and other refugees
from the clutches of their German op-
pressors during the dark days preceding
victory.
The daring members of the under
ground were helped immeasurably by
these funds, which were used for relief
of those in hiding, rescue of the hunted.
and aid to the families of those exc
cuted or deported to Germany for slave
labor.
Although this particular story on
Germs Norway, similar programs were
carried out during the cruel Nazi occu-
patton of Belgium, Czdohoslovakia,
France, Holland, Luxembourg n Po-
land.
The mountainous terrain of Norway,
the long frontiers with neutral Sweden
and the sea areas common to the two
countries made favorable conditions for
the relief and rescue of refugees. Direct
and continuous contact between under
ground workers in Norway and labor
relief representatives in Sweden was
established, and a well-organibed pro-
gram Of relief was in constant operation
Lars Evensen, vice president of the
Norwegian Federation of Labor. ana
Martin Tranmael, a member of its ex-
ective committee, have kept detailed
monthly reports Of this work, which until
now has been blacked out. The reports
show that a steady stream Of money
and supplies flowed from Sweden into
Norway, and a steady stream or refu-
gees came from Norway into Sweden.
In the mountains of Norway 10000
or more citizens lived in hiding from
the Gestapo and the Quisling police. Their
capture meant death or forced labor in
Germany. These refugees were main
tanned in their hideouts by American
labor funds and assisted to escape into
Sweden when flight became imperative
In return they aided the Labor Relief
Program by acting as couriers for sup
plies, and as guides over the difficult
mountain trails for their countrymen in
who the Gestapo showed such a per-
sistent interest that they we're forced to
flee for their lives.
The number of Norwegians rescued
during the occupation varied between
500 and 1900 monthly.
American labor's money financed the
charter and equipment of several hun
dreds Of small vessels in which the fugi-
tiyes were struggled from the Norwegian
cost to the safety Of Swedish ports. NOW
and then a boat was caught by the
Nazis, who exercised an eve%r-tightening
control Of Norwegian waters. Capture
mean concentration camps or worse. for
those on board. Most of the refugees
Montana labor news., 1945-08-30

evacuated by water got through safely
however, and the fact is a tribute to the
courage and seamansrnp of the rescue
crews.
The extent Of the material aid sent
across the Swedish border is revealed by
a glance at any of the monthly reports.
part of this aid could be sent in III
cersed packages with the consent of
the enemy. In January, for example,
1880 packages were sent to families of
persons in Jail or in hiding. They con-
tanned some 42,678 pounds of foodstuffs,
$500 pounds of clothes, and $50 pairs
of shoes. Through underground chan
nels the trustees sent 26,6OO pounds of
food, GAO pairs Of shoes, and a eonsid-
cradle quantity of of miscellaneous ar
ticles such as flashlights, laundry and
toilet soap, tooth brushes and paste,
shaving soap and brushes, razor blades,
cigarettes and smoking tobacco, pipes
and matches.
Thus, month after month, the aid sent
by the workers of the United States to
their Norwegian brothers saved lives, al
leviated the hardships due to systematic
piIlage by the Nazis, and help to main
tain the health and morale of fugitiyes
and the families of men jailed, deported,
or fallen in the struggle for freedom.
The record of rescue and relief be-
hind enemy lines is one Of which Amer
lean labor may be justly proud. With
the unflagging cooperation of the War
Refugee Board and the European Labor
movements, we have cheated the Nazis
many victims and helped to sustain
the morale of our European brothers
an ordeal whose full horror be-
came known to the civilized world only
when uncovered by the advancing armies
of liberation. That phase Of our work
is now ended. It's success should in
spire renewed devotion to the task
ahead-the task of help and encourage
ment to our fraternal movements abroad
in the rebuilding of their lives and their
labor movements; to make sur that their
suffering and sacrifice in lives shall not
have been in vain.
