APRIL NAMED
CANCER MONTH
Mrs. William ]. nj. Wroten To
Head Local Drive; 416 Can
Ger Deaths in State in '48
STATE GOAL S51,3OO

April has been proclaimed as
Cancer Month throughout the Ma.
tion, and Delaware opens its cam.
paign with the goal this year SET
at $51,300. OF this amount. &C
percent will remain in the State
to be used for research, service and
education. During 1948, cancer
was second in the cause of deaths
and claimed the lives of 416 per-
sons in the State, but in addition
so-called allied diseases (such as,
lukemia and Hodgkins) brings the
total up to AL. The fact that this
is the highest number of cancer
deaths ever reported in Delaware
does not necessarily mean that
cancer is killing more people in the
State than it did before, however.
According to DR.. John w. Spies,
Director of the Division of Cancer
Control of the State Board of
Health, the increasing mortality
may mean the reporting of cancer
deaths is becoming more accurate
that many deaths previously as
signed to other causes are reported
now as cancer deaths. Another
factor in the increasing cancer
mortality reports is the aging of
the population, says DR.. Spies. AS
people live to middle old age,
higher proportion of deaths are
due to cancer, which strikes older
people more frequently than
younger ones. However, many of
the deaths caused last year by
cancer need never to have occurr-
ed, points out the State Board of
Health, had these cases been found
and treated early and adequately
A high percentage of cancer usual
ly can be cured in it's earliest
stages. DO not wait for pain before
consulting a doctor about possible
cancer, warn health officials. Pain
is usually late symptom. After
It appears, cure is more difficult
and may not be possible. Speed
n diagnosis and treatment is es-
sential. Any of the following
signs are danger signals" of can /
GER. 1. Any sore that does not
heal. 2. A lump or thickening, in
the breast or elsewhere. 8. Unus-
ual bleeding or discharge. A. Any
in wart or mole. 5. Per-
sistent Indigestion or difficulty in
6. Persistent hoarse-
ness or cough. z. Any change in
normal bowel habits. Having a
regular physical examination by a
once year is one way
to find cancer in the early stages.
It is especially important that this
examination cover all the sites
where cancer is likely to occur.
The State Board of Health warns
people about consulting persons
who claim to have special "cures"
for cancer. Such "cures" are in
may be dangerous.
x-ray, radium, and surgery are the
three accepted ways of treating
this disease. The chairman for the
local drive this year is Mrs. Will
liam ]. M. Wroten, who will be as
sisted by Mrs. Marion c. Johnson,
co-chairman, Mrs. Raymond D.
Pusey, Mrs. Chester Banta and

Yacht COrsair Grounded After Striking Rocks

ACAPULSO, Mexico. (P) - The luxurious yacht Corsair, once the private ship of banker J. Pier Morgan, struck rocks and went aground early Saturday in Aca- pulco harbor.
 Passengers said there was mo panic" and mo great excitement" About 55 passengers and a crew of TT were taken off in lifebOats and small harbor craft.
 Port officials said the 343-foot vessel struck rocks a few minutes after midnight. Although she was going slowly, a large hole was torn in the bow. It had left ifs dock only about Is minutes previ- ously.
 Capt. H. Nedden of Vancouver B. C., who has skippered the for mer Morgan yacht since July, l947, pointed her at a small near by beach, "Ensenada de los Pre- Sos' CBay of the PriSoners). The vessels bow is submerged a short distance off shore and shipping men said if the captain had not acted quickly the boat would have sunk, she was shipping so much water.
 It was while the CorSair was being beached that passengers were assembled at their boats and when the boats touched water they had only a very short distance to go.
 Among those aboard was John M. Allen, Seattle, general passen- ger agent of Pacific Cruise Lines, Ltd., which operates the "Corsair. Allen telephoned David E. Skin ner, head of the Seattle firm from Acapulso with details of the acci- dent.
 Allen attributed the crash to steering engine failure, although he said the exact cause had not been determined.
 The "Corsair" operated as lux ury cruiser between Los Angeles and Acapulco in the winter and between Vancouver and Alaska in the summer.

Continued from Page One) mum monthly pension payments to workers aged 65 who have serv- ed 25 years.
 The workers do not have to pay into the fund, but they do con tribute to Federal Social Security which is added to company pen sions ot make up the $1O0 total
 Workers with fewer years of service will receive proportion ately smaller pensions. The agree ment also provides for a five cents an hour social insurance program. That cost is shared equally by workers and company.
 Asked if the settlements now signed with about 50 large and small companies would bring higher steel prices, Murray de clared: I can't answer that, of course"
 Industrial peace in steel towns brought imprOmptu celebrations.
 In Lorain, Ohio, where National Tue Company, a U. s. Steel sub sidiary, employees 10000 unionists, the revel turned out to be an auto horn blowing joyride. Celebrats damned the streets in that Lake Erie port.
 In Homestead, Pa, near Pitts burgh singing men and women filled sidewalks from curbs to Storefronts.
 Over the nation, the strikers lost an estimated $27O,OOO,OOO wages during the six week long strike. Added to that strike loss figure is the 8,000,000 to 1O,OOO,O00 tons of steel production which would have been produced if the work CTS had not struck.
 Some of the laid-off workers will be slow in returning to work. In the auto manufacturing indus try, where 43,OOO employees are idle, several weeks will be reQuir- ed to build steel stockpiles.
 President Benjamin F. Hairless of big steel, who led the industry's fight against the unions demands. said in a prepared statement:
 "We welcome the conclusion of the strike and resumption of steel operations which will enable us to do our part in meeting the steel needs of the nation"

 He added a note of caution: that the flyer may have fallen over cliff or been. swept into the river. It'd be foolish to raise hopes of his family unnecessarily"
 Brownfield had reached the halfway point in his journey back to civilization after crashing his plane, Weed said.
 Wreckage of BroWnfield's plane is 80 miles northwest of the Vogel cabin where the note was found. He would have another 80 miles to reach Gold Creek, on the Alas ka Railroad.
 "I'm amazed at his stamina and pluck" Weed said. with no equipment, no food, low-cut shoes, very light clothing at the time he set out from the plane, he was able to cover 80 miles of rugged wilderness in an estimated five to seven days"
 Weed said he figured that from ashes in the stove, and the fact there were only three empty vege- tables cans found in the yard, BroWnfield spent only a short time in the cabin, possibly only one day.
 The possibility BroWnfield went downstream from the Vogel cabin has not been overlooked. Weed said that in that case, hopes would be lessened that Brownfield would be able to survive because the downstream terrain has many steep gullies and sliffs.
 Yesterday, Week secuted the area carefully in the helicopter. He said several times his hopes were raised by seeing footsteps in the snow.
 "But-going lower I found they were bear tracks, swhich are al- most the same as human tracks at a distance"
 The 49th Star, newspaper, re- ceiveed word from Gulkana Sat urday that two trappers are head ed into the upper Susitna wilder ness-some 50 miles northwest of hereby dogteam in hopes of finding some trace of Brownfield.
 Ben Medley took his dogteam into the country near the west fork of the Gulkana River where he will visit trapline cabins.
 Johnny Tyone is moving into the Tyone Lake section, where he owns trapping cabins, and where there's about one foot of snow.
 Brownfield's wife and his father Murl Brownfield of Sequim, Wash, visited Gulkana recently and made several flights over the area

Mrs. Lula B.
West Prominent
Citizen Passes

The citizens of our commune
ty were stunned last week upon
announcement by DR.. E. w. West
that his wife, Mrs. Lula Pell West,
one of the educators of our state,
had passed. Funeral services were
held at the st Luke A.M.E.
Church, Hensley, Monday, January
10th. Ministers ]. G. Nixon, pas
tor and G. G. Atkins, officiated.
DIR. and Mrs. West resided at
North Little Rock, Arkansas, in
which city and Greater Little
Rock, DR.. West enjoys an enviable
praticce as a physician.
Mrs. West was a retired teacher
of the Pulaski County school sys-
TEN, having retired more than
eight years ago after having head
ed the schools in Hensley, Arkan-
sas, for more than forty years.
She was born in Columbus, Geor-
gia, and graduated from Spellman
College, Atlanta, Georgia, moving
to Arkansas upon marriage to DR..
West. She was a member of vir-
tually all of the fraternal benefit
societies of our state and held
high offices in many of them
prior to the fraternal society de-
bacle in the early 30's. Many who
were connected with the knights
and Daughters of Tabor, the East
ern Star, Court of Calanthe, Roy
al Circle, and other fraternal So
cieties recall with clear vision the
helpful manner in which Mrs.
West aided the members regard
less of station in life.
At a very early age she became
identified with religious work and
at the time of her passing was a
devout member Of st. Luke Am. E.
Church, Hensley, Arkansas. where
the last rites were held.
One of the outstanding extra
curricula achievements was the
successful fight waged by Mrs.
West with the MissourI-Pacific
railroad company for increased
and better passenger facilities on
it's train from Little Rock to Mon
in the fields that heretofore have
been dominated by the other
group. 1t is his opinion that dem
ocratic institutions like the Ar

portunities to the race, should be
