Lip Cancer Easy to Diagnose

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. D. IT is Duw generally believed that no person should succumb from a cancer of the lip. because such cancers are easily seen and. if properly treated early enough, can be eliminated. Cancer of the lip may be preceded • by what Is known as Leukoplakia This is a condition in which there is an overgrowth of the lining membrane of the lip causing a flat white spot. It is thought that Leukoplakia may be brought on by such things as diabetes, anemia, lack of vitamina poor mouth hygiene, and the excessive use of tobacco. However, even after all of these contributing causes have been taken care of. the leakoplskla often persists. • If the flat spot caused by the leukoplakia suddenly becomes rate ed. is should be removed rurgicaily. This condition should not be treat ed by X-ray. Many person* with cancer of the lip bare a history of repeated track ’ ins of the HP which oc urs in the winter and heals in the spring, or they may have bad a so-called coid M re -which has persisted for longer than soar weeks. Either of these * eoadiucns should prompt a person U> consult a doctor at once Cancer of the HP >* more nmon in wen than in women It ITZw tUt x 43s ■ •

Two of the able leaders in our state government are newspaper men. Lieutenant • governor Jolyi i Watkins is owner and publisher of the Bloomfield World and Marlon T. Ayers, the new director of the Indiana State Department of Commerce and Public Relations, is former general manager of the Shelbyville News, one of the very successful dailies in Hoosierdom: These men are civic minded and their past records attest to their high appreciation of public serf ice. The newspaper fraternity is proud of the recognition that has 1 come to these two esteemed gentlej men of the press. o • —- Law And Weather: I The lawmakers of the state of Washington have been asked to) do something constructive about i , the weather. Two representaiives have brought before the legislature a) bill which aims at the creation of a state commission which would act to prevent such cataclysmic ' performances as have recently been put on in the west by the I weather. “Supervising, controlling and changing the weather” would 1 * ’ » be the duties of this commission' if the bill became a law. While the bill may have been ' drafted with tongue in cheek, the j effects of this winter's unusual ) £ weather performances have been no joking matter. Experts in meteorology claim they are due to the battling of air currents far above the earth, presumably out of reach of commissions and lawmaking bodies.

Restoring Plymouth: The W’illiamsburg idea is spreading. The restoration of this colonial Virginia capital in. its entirety has added much to American knowledge of the ways of life in this country before the Revolution. Now a community, Plymouth, Mass., is planning to restore its past, for the education of all Americans. A foundation is trying to raise $1,500,000 to reproduce the original town. Unlike Williamsburg, this will not be done on the original sites tout three miles south ot the town. A sample Pilgrim house has already been erected to serve as an information center. Next is to follow the construction of. the first village street, with its twelve houses, for, common store house, and governor’s house. The project propses Ceremonies such as the mounting of the guard proqession of the Pilgrims to meet the friendly Indian, Squanto, who first bade them welcome to the new land. Plymouth has the rare distinction of having complete records available as to what buildings were | i in the original village, and their I I ownership. When completed, the recon-1 strutted town should be a rich addition to our collection of sites

to the fact that men are -more ex- i posed to the rigors of weather. Far j mers, sailors, policemen. and fire-1 men are the indst frequent victims.: The lever lip is -more often affect-1 ed by cancer than the upper. Cancer of the lip is treated in two ways, by X-ray or surgery.' X-ray treatments may cause some; changes in the lining membrane and skin around the area treat'd. When the tumor is removed surgially, a scar is left. However, ff considerable defor nity follows the operation, plastic surgery can be used to correct it Unless the X- ray treatment is properly employed, recurrence is like iy. There have been many more recurrences following X-ray treat jient than following surgery. FoI1ot!ex an operation for the removal of lip cancer, the patient I should return to the physician st monthly Intervals for examination w that It there is a recurrence it may -be detected at once and treated.

i ' CHAPTER FORTY-ONE “WHY didn’t David say something to Dad?” Donna asked Mark. “Dad would have listened to him." “I told him to but he said you couldn't say things like that to your own father, especially a swell guy except for making such a fool of himself like your dad. He wanted me to talk to him, remind him ot his duty. Me! Why, I’d ? as soon have tried laying down the Irw to Moses! Then he wanted me to flirt with her, try to wean her away from Dad." “Why didn't yof?” "Because my affections were otherwise engaged. And 1 was too nobk to be untrue to you, even in as good a cause as saving your father. We made it tough for them though." Mark smiled reminiscently. “What did you do?” Donna’s eyes, dead-black, were intent upon his face. “We sleuthed. We found out there was a certain secluded corner where, on nights your father was presumably staying in town, . e would* pick her up and take her driving. So we made that corner one of our hangouts. And as soon ae he'd pull up we d go racing down and ask tor a hitch home. He would stand her up and take us, too. Once he had her in the car before we could get there. He said, sure, he’d just taken on one passenger, why not two more ? He took her home first and didn’t go out again that nighL He was careful. I’ll say that for him. Don't you see how much better it would have been if you had talked to us? You could have helped us sleuth. A girl's fine touch was all we needed."

“1 still don't like it,” she said, though the ghost ot a smile touched her lips briefly. "Neither did we. Dave especially. Don’t you remember how thin he got that year, lost fifteen pounds and they wouldn't let him play football? That's what your father’s philandering did to him. And don't you remember, whenever there were dances or parties at the clubhouse, how we'd always hitchhike home from college to be on deck for the goings on ?“ **l thought you came to be with me.” “Not at all We came to keep your mother from feeling neglected and to be sure she had dancing partners. And also we came to cut in when your Dad was dancing with the redhead. We took turns doing that. We nearly danced the legs off her. She was game about it but m bet thj sight of us, and she saw plenty of us, almost turned her tummy. Davs said after ths way your mother went through the crisis, if he ever did or said one thing, all his life, to cauM her a minute's pain or worry, somebody ought to take him out and shoot him. He was proud because she was the one in a million who put her children and her home before her own hurt feelings. God, he was proud ot her!" "Mark, will you do something for met Will you go upstairs and •U Mother what you have just toM me?" • "Oh, Donna, I couldn't do that! H's different, talking to you. I couldn't My tboee things to your mother.* That's odd. Dsd could talk to IMr but not to me... But please do It, Mark, to please me. Mother deserves it Ten her every word Dave Mid and how prove he was of her. I was rtauf vicious to Mother, Mark. She has a right to knew that om ot Mr children WMBI • tool" .

He held her in his arms a while, thinking it over. “Maybe you're right, Donna,” he said uneasily and sighed deeply. “I flatly refused to tackle your father with it and now I have to rehash it with your mother. But maybe you're right and she deserves to know. Try to take it easier, Donna. Don't get so .lervous, don't teel so angry. It doesn't do any good. 1 know it’s tough, but take it as easily as you can. There's nothing we can do now but wait, so let’s not make the waiting any I harder than we have to.” “I'll try, Mark. I'll do my best You go and tell Mother." The waiting was not easy. Mark came down some time later and nodded his head curtly, brief acknowledgment that telling her mother had been nghL She asked no questions. Conversation was forced and desultory, for the most part a monologue by Mark on the affairs of Sammy and Red Islip. Donna tried, not very successfully, to manifest an interest she did not feel and both were relieved when Mrs. Collwell came down and rejoined them. "Is it too late for you to run down and see a movie?” she suggested helpfully. "I'll answer the telephone.” "I'd scream! I’d jump up and down and scream!" Donna protested. "They would call the cops and evict me.” Mark reverted grimly to conversation again but it was less difficult now, for, although it was perhaps assumed, Mrs. Collwell showed persistent interest She made pertinent and suggestive comments.

"1 never heard ot a model mar- , rying a minister." "Beauty is a frightful handicap for a minister's wife.” “She had better stick to girls' classes in Sunday school. Mothers with adolescent sons are very suspicious ot beauty.” She asked questions, too. "Is she interested in that Kind of work or just interested in him?” “Is he a spiritual man or a good orator in search of an audience?” “Has her experience tn the apartment given her pointers on getting along with other people? Getting along with people te very Important for a minister’s wife." Donna too, almost against her will, was drawn into the discussion of the Reverend Red and his prospective spouse. But beneath all the words they were acutely conscious that after all they were only waiting for the telephone to ring. Once it rang. Donna, deadwhite, sat motionless. Mark and Mrs. CoilweU waited. "Shall I take it?” Mark suggested. She shook her head. “No. I want to. Helf me up. Mark." She was a dead weight under his hand as she got to her feet It was a wrong number. “If they give us another wrong number call, I'll throw the telephone right through the window!” she said passionately. “If you do, we couldn't answer if your father called,” Mrs. Collwell reminded her. The wrong number, infuriating as It was, suggested a new train of consideration. 'What are you going to say to your father when you get him?” Mrs. Collwell Mked. “I'm going to tell him to come acme,” Donna said. “But why? What reason are you going to give? We never ask him to come home from bis bumness trips. How are you going to explain that you nave beta looking fee kun? if you say saytaisg

about this matter, he will hang up on you. He will not talk.” "Hang up on me! Dad? Why, he wouldn’t hang up on me.” Then she added more thoughtfully, "Did he ever hang up on you, Mother?” “No. I never mentioneo unpleasant things over the phone. But a couple ot times when I kept talking about things he did not want to discuss, ne got nss nat and walked out ot the noute and did not come back that; mghL Men always run away from unpleasant subjects if they get a chance." Donna looked imploringly at Mark. “You know he wouldn’t hang up on me!" she pleaded, “Not on me!” "He might at that," Mark admitted reluctantly. "Since ne nas made up his mind not to discuss this thing, the chances are he isn’t going to tiscuss iL And hanging up on you would be the easiest ouL"

"Think of something! Think quickly, before the phone rings. What can 1 say? « know! 1'1) tell him Mother is sick. That will bring nim posthaste." • You will do no such thing," Mrs. Coliwell said firmly; "Your father chose his own way ot taking rare ot this matter and 1 will not be a party to such subterfuge." "Not even to save my father’s life!" Donna accused her. "Not to interfere with what he considers the right thing tor him to da You most certainly may not tell him I am sick.” "I could say 1 am sick,” she said, more doubtfully. "He would hardly believe you are seriously iU it yoh are up answering the telephone" was the quiet reminder. "Mark, think of something! Think quickly! What shall I say?” Mark strummed his fingers together uneasily. "There's another nasty angle to it, too," he said slowly. “Now i don’t believe tor one minute that Dad Collwell anil do this thing, it just isnt ms nature to do this sort ot thing. And he wouldn't walk out on Mrs. Collwell like that; you know ne wouldn't Maybe for a while, when he was upset, he thought he would, but when he came to ms senses he would never go through witn it But suppose he is still pretty much upset and hanging onto his crazy obsession. He didn't know Mother Coliwell was going to tell you, Donna. He was going to enlighten you himself, by letter, when it was over. Now if he gets wind that you are wise to it and determined to prevent it, mightn't he—it’s only a thought, ot course! —but mightn't be Just leap off the deep end and do It right away? M.ghtn't it hurry things up instead the stopping them? There's qpt much point to his writing the letter now that you already know."

Scott Says 6.0. P. Parly Fight Ended Promises To Work With Congressmen Washington, Feb. 17 — (UP) — Chairman Hugh D. Scott, Jr., of the Republican national committee, told the United Press today that the Republican wars are over. “The Republican party has had a good cry,” Scott said. “The time has come now for a vigorous dethe 80th (Republican) congress and a coordinated effort to contrast its achievements with those of the present 81st (Democratic) congress.” t Scott was the center last month pt one of the roughest party brawls in recent Republican history. It took place in Omaha, Neb., where an effort to oust him from the chairmanship was defeated by a 54-to--50 committee vote. Shortly thereafter Gov. Thomas iE. Dewey of New York made a Lincoln day speech in which he said Renublicans might as weM face up to the fact that the partv was snlit wide open. Scott discussed party prospects in response to an inquiry about hew he planned to unify the Republican party. He said he had felt that the party row’ at Omaha had to come. “I feel there has been a clear airing of the division within the roarty,” he told the United Press. "Now I feel strongly that the time is here for cohesion and the closest cooperation between the national committee and the party leaders In the senate and in the house. “I already have assured Sen. Taft and former speaker Joe Martin of that. They were the first two persons I saw here when I got back from Nebraska. 1 wanted to assure the house and senate ledershlp that the national committee would do its upmost to work in harmony with Republicans in congress.” Scott was under fire in Cmaha as a Dewey man. He was charged with packing the party’s national executive committee with Dewey supporters. In the trwo-day battle royal which grew out of those charges, Scott said Dewey would not and should not again be the party’s presidential candidate. Scott and others who had been Dewey’s partisans disavowed him during the committee chairmanship row. And Scott is not looking for any more trouble. “1 will not provoke nor initiate

any fight or any difference within the Republican party,” he said “I’ll do everything humanly possible to harmonize the various elements of the party and to weld them into a compact spree all going in the same direction. “I am convinced we have got to earn our 1950 congressional election vjetory on merit and on the record we made in the 80th congress and the record we will make in the 81st congress between now and 1950. “We .expect to draw a clear contrast that record and the already woefully bad record of the Democratic congress which lias done nothing about President Truman’s program, but has passed a bill to raise his salary and give him a $90,000 tax-exempt expense allowance.” Scott said he would call the Republican executive committee to meet here the latter part of March. Its membership has been changed somewhat to meet protests that it was packed against some elements of the Republican party. Scott also said he is anxious later in the year to obtain a meeting of a representative conference of responsible Re publicans to formulate a statement of party policy. For the immediate future, Scott said, Republicans will take advantage of the inability of the Democratic congressional leadership so far to get going on a legislative program. • The state of Oregon has almost one-half of the more than one billion feet of timber standing in tne dates of Cregon, Washington and ’allfornia.
