Dealing With Skin Cancer

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. CANCER occur* in many parts of the body. A fairly common .location for cancer is on the fare, particula ly about the none atid eyes Medical men know most of them akin cancers ae basal cell epithelf. oma» Quite fortunately, this type* of cancer differs from others in. that it does not meta<tosixe. This means ’.hat the tumor cells are not carried by the blood or lymph to other parts of the body to net up new growths tn hidden and inaccessible places as in the case with so many other types of cancer. In other words, a skin c ancer is moat likely to be a local dbcturlcanca, which with proper treatment can readily be done »way with They Grow Slowly Everbody should realise that these skin cancers grow slowly, so it is wise not to disregard a dan gerous growth simply icecause it seems at the time to be making no particular trouble. Some such cancers may even take years to reach a site from one-half to an inch •cross. The growth usually begins on a reddened, acaly spot which becomes a little thickened and shiny. The thickening may be ao slight that It is irnreiy notu-sable Th* central part of the growth becomes covered with < rost and when M is knocked off or imi’cd off there

tors on the splendid showing made by them In oratorical contests held over the week-end. j Roger Scbnepf won first place In the Rotary district contest at 1 Warsaw and becomes the repret sentative of the clubs in this dist- ■. rict in the regional contest to be 1 staged at Fort Wayne In the near future. I t Miss Karlann Striker, winner in four previous eliminations, includ- ’ Ing the zone finals, placed second in the American Legion State Ora- ' torical contest held at Frankfort. The youthful forensic students ; who made such a creditable show- ' Ing, are members of the speech j class of the Decatur high school. Besides gaining personal benefits and experience, these young people brought further honors and recognition to their school and j city. It was a job well dune! Q— O — Holy Week

From the joyous hosannas of I Palm Sunday ami the commemora tion of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we enter the solemnities of Holy Week, the most sacred period in Christianity’s observance. The last days of Christ, the Redeemer, on earth will be observed In religious fervor. The ! tragedy of Calvary. His suffering in the Garden, the ignominious death on the Cross, all will be fervently commemorated, augmented with religious rites and word of pastor and priest from pulpit and sanctuary. Climaxing these solemn days will be the community observance of the Three Hours on Good Friday, from 12 to three o'clock, in j memory of the crucified Christ. 1 A union service of all Protesi taut churches will be held at the Zion Evangelical and Reformed 1 church. During these same hours the faithful will gather at St. Mary's Catholic < hurch. where i services also include the making of the Way of the Cross and meditations at the stations followed by } Christ more than two thousand years ago. An evening service will be held at the Zion Luth 1 eran church. | Stores, business houses and offices have been asked to close during the Three Hours and following custom, worldly affairs will be laid aside during that period when the Son of God was nailed and' died on the cross. To get the full meaning of Holy Week, one must reflect and meditate on the Redeemers supreme sacrifice for mankind, then the joy of Easter morning, the reality of salvation, and the commemoration of Ills glorious Resurrection becomes all the more teal and satisfying to the human soul.

However, in treating skin cancers two main idea* mu*t lie kept in mind Hist, to destroy the growth itaseif completely and. second, to keep from damaging the surrounding tissues According to Dr Jerome P. Webster of New York the two main methods of treatment are Xiwy and surgical removel. ,The tyi>«- of treatment to be used will depend upon the loccation of the growth and Its extent.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE it JANET CONTINUED, "I would ' not give up. You can’t realize the I torture of not knowing whether |r someone you love is dead or alive. I' I wrote Claribel, and she had Mad- 1 Ison investigate, but he sent word 11 that it was impossible for Father < to be alive without the vaqueros t hearing about it. Finally, I learned 1 that the Rubber Division wanted to < open the New Dixie plantations, and I went back to Washington to see if I could get them to send me ’ down. When they found out 1 had lived here, ft was easy to persuade < them I might be able to help you.” 1 •Tell me one thing." Cliff interrupted. "Was it about your father you wanted to talk with Vicente the night he captured us?" "Yes. The first day I saw Vicente at Wade Carroll s. I was sure he knew something. I still think I he does. But he would only say he had known Father long ago.” "Have you spoken of this to I Madison since you came back?" Janet shook her head. "Father and Madison never liked each I other. Father hated the way Madison's vaqueros treated the people up the river.” Watching her. with her head thrown back beneath the light, ar.d earnest eyes on his. Cliff realized that at last she had dropped her guard against him. For the first time there could he full trust between them, tut even now—perhaps now more than ever—he was powerless to help her, and sudden sympathy swept over him. More than anything in the world he wanted to say some word that I might hold out hope to her, but he knew it was not hope she wanted —it was certainty—and to tell her 1 the truth at thia time might mean , disaster.

Mutely he touched her hand, and in that Simple, inarticulate gesture she sensed the offer of his friendship, for tears were in her eyes. She gave a tremulous laugh. “You don't know how much it means not to sail under false colon any more. From now on, whatever comes. you’ll know why I’m here, and if it has to be war between you and Madison, yoc i know where I stand." '1 hope you won't ever regret it" He sat down behind the desk. ’•Just now things look pretty dark, and it's no use denying that wc snav be beaten " Standing beside his chair, abe laid her hand on his shoulder. You won t ever be beaten—you couldn t be beaten." The steady voice held a world of quiet trust and assurance. "I remember the night they took us eapttvs. how ycu carried me for miles to tne river.

to know she believed in him, and was standing very close to him. Raising his head, he brushed her arm with his cheek, and almbst without breathing felt the warm, living softness of her. He did not stir. Stronger than any will of his own, far stronger than any strength to resist or deny, the need for her surged over him like an engulfing wave. His cheek still lay against her arm, and turning, he touched ft with his lips. Her body trembled, he heard the faint intake of her breath, and in that I second he was on his feet, hia arms [about her. I "Janet!" Within the hush of the little offlee he held her through a timeless [fragment of eternity whose only measure lay in the quickened beating of a heart that matched the racing rhythm of his own. Her arms, moving upward over his khaki shirt, encircled him; the [palms of her hands pressed him close tn a caress that, even while It yielded, had all the fierce glad glory of possession. "Janet!” The mass of coppery hair lifted as she drew back her head. Her eyes, luminous beneath the lamp, were on his eyes; her lips, half parted, rose nearer, almost touched—then suddenly her eyes changed, and with a cry she I gasped. '•Cliff! The window—some- • one's outside.”

He jerked open the door, but the night lay black and empty, and at a run he rounded the building, then stood listening. "Were you sure!" he called. "I saw .a face pressed against the pane, and then it was gone. I remember the eyes staring—" Janet stopped. The long-drawn howl of a jaguar came to them from from the darkness. "It’s Plato," Cliff said, and the i name thought flashed across the minds of both—had it been Ulli at the window?

But the spell of that moment was shattered. The shock of intrusion had thrust itself like a barrier between them, and Janet looked up at him with a tired sm.ie. "I'm dead, Cliff Mind if 1 run .along to bed? Too much has hapI pened today.” I “I know." He walked with her ■town the path to the door of her [shack, then with both hands he I raised her face and kissed her lips, j -Remember thia," ho whimpered. •We can t lose now—you and L” Up in Ciaribel’s office Madison sat white-faced and brooding. For nearly an hour after Janet left him he did not move. Ms slate-gray eyes fixed cm the window. Then as is reaching • decision, be left the house and rode to the quarters of Ms vaqueros. The smoke-ffiled.

(Rev Carey R. Moser, First Baptist Church I “OUT OF THE DEPTHS” Psalm 130:1 Our text for the day speaks of the soul overwhelmed by sin. ret revealing the ray of hope left through repentence and prayer. Oh the depths to which sin has brought men. It has separated us ’so far from God. that only the Eternal Son could reach us and bring us safely back to the Father. Sin has Impoverished and Immobilised men How poor we are. with no horn- of anything better in the future If left to ourselves. How helpless we are. with mt hope of ever reaching God anti Heaven through any effort of our own. "The wages of sin 1s death. Rom 6 23." and a dead man never docs anything for himself. Also we learn In Romans 3:23. that "All have sinned an-1 come short of the glory of God." therefore this awful helpless and hopeless condition w universal and personal. But as above suggested. God’s Eternal Hon of only One who could do something aln.ut 11. died something about it. The last part of Romans 6:23 declares, "but the gift of God is eternal life." through Jesus Christ «>ur Lord. God sent His Son to become the Saviour of the World, and now "whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Psalmist sensed the forgiving love of God. and even in His day cried unto God for forgiveness. God heard his cry so that he could say with joy. "This poor man cried anti the Lord heard him and delivered him out of all hl.’ troubles.” As Jonah cried out of the depths of Sheol and God hoard him. s<i today, even though the depths have closed In and oter you. you may cry penitently, ami God will deliver you.

What do you want done that us boys can't handle?" “I want you to crack down on Cliff Bogard." Sloan’s eyes widened. “Tou mean—?" “I mean smash his camp •I’'* drive him out." "What’s the sudden l‘L-a, Boss? I thought you was waitin' for the Blacklanders to tangle with him first.” "I'm done waiting." "Ain’t it kinda risky? Now If we waited until—" •To heck with all that. I'm fed up. understand, fed Up! Either he goes or I go, and this la as good a time as we'll ever have." Sloan looked thoughtful. "If that's the job, I guess we'll need all the Vaqueras we can round up.” "We'll need every man." Sloan flicked his cigarette across the floor. “Okay. Wt’U start tomorrow.

Madison spat out an oath. "We’U start right now. It's going to take three or four days to bring them in from the upper ranges, even if we work fast, end I'm going with you. By midnight we can be at the river camp. By dawn we'U be in the upper range.” Sloan looked into Madison's face and reached for his spurn. "Whatever you say. Boss.” Skirting the village, the two men rode down the river trail, and an hour later Jiey were passing Wade's clearing, a light tn the window of Hie main shack caught Madison’s attention. He reined in his horse. *T though Wade and Lilli were living at the rubber camp.” "They were.” A shadow passed across the winclow, and Madison recognized Lilli. Hq raise d his hand for silence, then leaned toward Sloan. "I’d say she's alone. You stay out here and keep watch. I want a word or two with that lady." Dismounting, Madison walked toward the shack. Twice he stopped to listen, then certain that no one else was within, threw open the door. At the sound Lilli turned, and beneath the lamplight he saw she had been weeping. Terrified, the girl drew back. "What do you want?” Her voice was trembling He seated himself comfortably just inside the door.
