Speaks At New
Legion Home Here

ers and adjutants of local Legion
posts of the seventeenth district
held Friday night at the Legion
home in Pascagoula. Wayne La
cey, commander of the seven
teenth district, presided and in
troduced officers and represen-
tatives of various posts.
Commander Armstrong stressed
the Importance of placing tn e
Legion in favorable relations
with its members and the public,
pointing out that the primary
purpose of aid to disabled veter-
ans and their families should be
well coordinated with the pro-
grams of community development
and aid to schools and youth.
Help for the unfortunate vet
Grams is a greater duty than build
ing stone monuments or memo
rials, and contributions to the
encouragement and improvement
of youth will mean more to the
country than acknowledgements"

Rotarians Hear
Talk By Health
Educator

The startling death rates of
cancer were revealed to the Moss
Point Rotarians by Miss Claire
Melton, county Health Educator
of the Jackson County Health
department, at the meeting on
Thursday.
Cancer is rated as second in
the causes of death in the u. S.
and Mississippi and third in the
causes of death in Jackson coun-
ty, Miss Melton stated. Further
more, Miss Melton said, one out
of every six women in the U. S.
will die of cancer and one out of
every eight men.
Miss Melton explained the adj
vance of lancer on the death
rates as due to the fact that so
many of the other diseases had
been reduced in death rates by
research and cures and that can
Ger was still being studied in re-
search laboratories.
However, she emphasized, it
can be cured in the early stages.
The important thing is the dis
covery of the disease in the earli-
est stages, the recognition of
symptoms and competent medical
attention.
Cancer appears most frequent
ly in an adult over forty years of
age, however anyone may de-
velop it. The fact that adults do
not as a rule drink much milk is
one of the factors named in the
development.
To reduce the human toll of
this disease team work is neces-
sary, with cooperation between
the doctor and the patient.
