Unions Asked to Help
Combat Dangers of
Industrial Cancer

NEW YORK-Cancer turks in
some chemicals. Cancer hides in
some rays. For this reason, the
American Cancer Society say, this
week, many industrial workers,
Negro and white, have big stake
in cancer control.
It behoves organized labor, as
well as management, to establish
safeguards for workers, the A.S.C.
asserts.
More than 200 substances have
been found to produce cancer it
they are allowed to irritate organs
of the body. These chemicals an
compounds, known as carcinogen&
(cancer-producing substances) in
clude principally the by-produc
of coal, such as tar, SCOT, pitch ar
anthracene, petroleum and its
products, arsenic and dye-stuffs,
the rays from radium, x-rays and
products of atomic fission.
DR.. John Moseley, nationally
known Negro radiologist at M
Sinai and Sydenham Hospitals in
New York City, pointed out tina
workers in industries using tar
may have a higher than normal in
cidence if they. do have habits of
cleanliness and personal hygiene.
Workers in the coke, coal-gas,
road-making, cable, tile manufac-
uring and boat building occupa-
tions are often exposed to cancer
producing chemicals.
DR.. Moseley stressed the impor-
tance of periodic medical exami-
nations, facilities for frequent
change of clothing and daily bath
ing for these workers.
Occupational skin cancer among
workers manufacturing insecti-
cides has been traced to careless
use of arsenic. Until recently
cancer of the bladder was not un-
common among persons working
in the dye industry. Preventive
measures have been taken to elimi-
nate much of the danger due to
inhaling carcinogenic fumes.
CANCER of the bone occasionally
developed among workers using
luminous watch dial paint con-
tanning a small amount of radium.
Eliminating the habit of moisten-
ing the brush with the lips practi-
cally halted this hazard.
In the fishing industry cancer
of the lip and mouth was reported
among fishermen who held tarred
threads in their mouths while
mending nets.
In its program of cancer educa-
tion, the American Cancer Society
warns that even over-exposure to
the suns rays may prove danger
Gus. Cancer of the skin is most
frequently found in people who
work for long hours in the sun
and wind. Society literature urges
everyone to have frequent medical
examinations as the best protec-
ton against cancer.

brought can food for those boys
and girls who were left homeless
by fire recently. The food was
given directly to the children.
The children gave us their pic
lures and letters to put in the Jun
ior Red Cross Correspondence AL
buns. We have two albums: one
for the Primary Grades and one
for the Upper Grades. We had
drawing contest among the rooms
to select a picture for the cover Of
our Correspondence Albums. The
winning pictures were: Primary
grades, William Hill, grade three.
His picture was of a blimp. Upper
grades, Raymond Hill, grade four.
His picture was of a postman. Miss
Dickey, Mrs. Warren, Miss Peter
son, Mr.. Hutchings, and Mrs.
Wheeler were the judges.
The children and teachers have
brought money to help buy articles
to go in the Junior Red Cross gift
boxes, which are sent to children
over seas. The members of the Jun
sior Red Cross are making wooden
toys for the gift boxes. They are
also having Hobby-Art Show at
the school February 10 and II to
help raise funds to fill the, gift
boxes.
The Dunbar School Junior Red
Cross Council has attended two
city wide Council meetings. The
first meeting was held at Mary Be-
thune School in October; the sec
ond was held at Emerson School in
December. The hostess groups pro-
vided an interesting program for
those who were attending. Mrs.
Gordon and Miss Miller are teach
er-sponsors of the Junior Red
Cross.

on ones personality. over-conid-
ence on the other hand can Hardly
be perceived In ones personality
and can seldom be recognized un-
less the individual having it be-
comes talkative and braggy in
their conversations, and boasts.
Therefore, shyness cannot be con-
eealed, but over-confidence can be
concealed by keeping ones mouth
shut.
Also of the two traits shyness is
more difficult to overcome. 1t
necessitates a change of the entire
personality, activities, and some
cases a complete change of en-
vironment. 1t requires intensive
cultivation in poise and social con-
duct. These steps are difficult,
and it is not uncommon for indi-
viduals who are shy to never over
come it. Over-confidence on the
other hand can be overcome by a
change in attitude and the determ-

ly our shyness has prevented our
ever beginning or getting started
On the other hand, however,
over-eonfidence will build up in us
a certain amount of initiative or
drive in our undertakings, al
though this initiative or drive
would not be as great if we were
not SO over-confdent. With all of
this though, over-confidence would
be better than shyress because al
though we are oger-eonf;dent we
lave made SOME start although
we may be too sure of success, but
shyness would prevent our making
any initial beginning at all.
1t is to be admitted that the
end result or the attainments and
individual desires to be reached
will not be as satisfying if one is
shy or over-confident.
Either shyness or over-confid-
ence is a tremendous handicap in
any individual regardless of the
work to be undertaken.
OF the two, shyness would be
the most damaging. Shyness is a
trait which is stamped on the in
dividual by actions, and before
word has been spoken, in other
words shyness is clearly stamped
