Low Passed Against
Discrimination
In Miomi

MIAMI BEACH - An anti
discrimination ordinance making
it illegal to display or maintain
advertising which promotes racial
or religious discrimination was
passed unanimously by the City
Council of this resort city. The
ordinance is the first such passed
in the South.
Providing for penalties up to
a $500 fine and 80 days in jail,
the new law is the elimination
of an intensive education cam
paign carried on for the past
three and half years by various
Florida civic agencies. The Flor
ida regional office of the Anti
Defamation League and the Flor
ida State B'nai Birth took an
active part in the campaign.
Adoption of the ordinance oy
the City Council was facilitated
by passage of an Enabling Act
by the Florida legislature which
specifically empowered the City
Council to adopt such a measure.
ADJ officials helped draft the
Enabling Act.
Public officials and represen-
tatives of business, labor and ed
ucational organizations hailed the
City Councils action as a major
step forward in the fight against
racial and religious bigotry.

to order the construction of a

President Weizmann, in his mes
sage to Mr.. Landau, regretted
his inability to attend the dinner.
Mr.. Hoffman reviewed the
work of the J.T.A. since its in
ception. Il wish that our news
agency shall live and prosper

from the countries outside of the

said. Joseph Sprinzak, speaker
of the Knesset, stated that it is
a good omen that the J.T.A. an

NV second reason is because the

It is independent of any govern

was almost evangelical about it.

and womb. Cancer of the womb
kills about 1900 women in this
country annually, but about rs
percent of those deaths could be
avoided if the cancers were de-
tected and treated in time.
Everyone should have a COM
plete physical examination at least
once a year. But for women
over 35, especially those who have
had children, it is doubly import
ant. If cancer of the womb
should develop, the woman who
regularly goes for her physical ex-
animation has a much better
chance of finding it and having
it treated in an early stage.
There are a number of tests
doctors make to find out whether
Or not a person has cancer. Re-
Gently, there has been developed
a new test for of the womb and
certain other organs that is
simple and comparatively inexpen-
sive. 1t consists of swabbing the
body openings involved, smearing
the material on the swabs on glass
slides, and looking at the stained
slides under the microscope to see
if any cancer cells are present.
This test is proving very valuable
because it can detect the cancer
in a very early stage, when it is
easiest to cure.

THE ROAD
To HEALTH
S. r. FRAZIER, M. D.

AT a medical meeting, l attend
Ell recently, the subject OF cancer
came up IN our discussion. We
talked mostly of cancer research
and, of course, most of us had
stories of cancer cases we had
treated.
Cancer would be taking few
err lives among women if there
we're many people like Marie
JONES'" one of the doctors re-
marked. We listened attentively
as he continued his story.
MRS. Jones moved to our city
from a rural community in the
SOUTH" he said. "Her two small
children had been delivered by
midwives because, she told me,
theree wasn't a single doctor for
miles around. All seemed well
with the first child's birth, but
after the second child was born,
it was longer than usual before
the mother got back on her feet.
"Shortly after they moved to
the city, Mrs. Jones appeared at
my office one evening. She ex-
planned that she noticed a slight
bleeding that seemed to come
from her womb at irregular inter
walls. There was no pain, she
said, but she was sure something
was wrong"
The doctor said he examined
Mrs. Jones and found that she
had been slightly injured, prob
ably during the birth of her Sc
cond child. The wound had not
been cared for properly and can
Ger of the cervix of the uterus
(opening of the womb) had de-
veloped.
"But," the doctor went on, "the
story has a happy ending. By
her prompt visit to my office
when she first suspected some
thingwas wrong, we detected her
cancer in an early stage, a stage
when we had a good chance OF
checking it.
"Mrs. Jones was operated or
without delay and the cancerous
growth was removed. That was
six years ago and she is still per
fectly well.
"Yet as you know, we would
have been helpless if Mrs. Jones
had put off her visit to me unit
she was driven to it by the great
pain which comes from the ad.
vanced stages of cancer"
A cancer is a malignant (bad)
tumor of the body. These wilo
cells continue to grow, crowdine
and starving the "good" or nor

tai bodily functions.
Cancer develops in various parts
of the body, but among women, il
