Cancer Causes
Death of One in
Every l6 Negroes

The fact that cancer was the cause
of death of approximately one in
every 16 Negroes who died in 1943
makes this disease serious topic
for National Negro Health Week.
March 81 - April z. Many types
OF cancer can be cured, but the
National Cancer Institute of the
U. S. Public Health Service, Federal
Security Agency, emphasized to-
day that treatment must start in
the early stages of the disease.
Cancer was the fourth highest
cause of death among Negro women
but ninth among Negro men. The
total number of deaths from this
cause was 1869 of which more
6,387 were women and 4,271 were
men. Cancer may affect any part
OF the body, but more than half of
the deaths among Negro women
were due to cancer of the uterus
and breast Among men, the most
important site affected was the sto
mach with 1884 lives claimed by
cancer of the stomash.
The. largest number of cancer
deaths in both sexes occurred in
the age group from so to SO. But
no age is free from cancer. A baby
may be born with it. However it
is principally a disease of adult
life and occurs most often between
the ages of 40 and 70.
Cancer is not a contagious di-
sease and is not transmitted from
one person to another. 1t is a dis
orderly growth of cells of the pa
TENTS own tissues and begins as
a new disease in each Individual.
Therefore the individual is the first
line of defense against it.
Certain danger signals pointing to
the possibility of cancer should
lead to immediate visits to a physi-
clan. Watch for these indications:
Any persistent lump or thickening;
any irregular bleeding or discharge
from any of the body openings;
any sore that does not heal, parti-
cularly about the tongue, mouth or
lips; persistent indigestion, espe-
cially when accompanied by dis
taste for meat; persistent hoarseness
which lasts for a month or longer;
sudden changes in the form or rate
of growth of a mole or wart. These
SYMPTOMS do not necessarily indi-
cate the presence of cancer, but
they should be checked through an
examination by physician.
Authorities emphasized that pain
does not manifest itself in early
stages of cancer when chances for
cure are best Thus, examinations
should not be delayed until pain is
suffered

Price Bourd Lists
Dollar Savings On
Sugar During War

Mississippi housewives may not
get all the sugar they want under
current rationing but, at least, they
get it at a price they can afford.

out today.
Efforts of price control officials
and cooperative grocers have held
the price of sugar at less than
cents per pound remarkable
contrast with experiences immed-
diately following the last World
War when sugar prices scared un-

By the Asseeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Barney
Ross, 81. hero Of Guadalcanal and
former holder OF two world boxing
titles. started out today on the
toughest battle Of his life-to cure
himself Of . drug habit.
Because I have been a cham
pion. I suppose I am an idol Of a
large number Of kids and / don't
want to disillusion them by wind
ing up a drug addict" the former
Marine corporal said yesterday as
he voluntarily surrendered to Fed
eral authorities in order to take a
drug addiction cure.
Ross will take the cure at the
United States Public Health Hos
pital at Lexington, KY. John F. X.
McGohey, United States attorney,
explained that because the hospital
is crowded, voluntary submission to
arrest was the only way Ross could
get In.
The former ring champion was
placed under technical arrest on a
charge Of illegal possession of drugs,
but McGohey said Ross would not
be arraigned and no bail would be
asked.
Ross said that through no fault
of mine," he began taking drugs
after he was hospitaiized for shock
and malaria at Guadalcanal.
"A couple Of friends Of mine" he
added, "corpsmen in the service, who
meant only good, began giving me
treatments for the shock I suffered" /"

charged from the Marines In April,
