Happy New Year, Everybody!

Over the Christmas holidays I received a vury interesting letter from a lady whom we shall call Mrs. B. I am taking the liberty of publishing, and answering her letter today, The letter reads: Dear Miss Hill:

I have been hearing so much about this subject callrd Nutm- tion lately. ihat I finally deczdcd to write and ask you to explain the meaning of it to me. ‘ Is it a new stibjcct? Another llllnfl that has been our . g me is: Why do we nerd for. I knoxv we nccd it to keep olive, but why is there 5o much talk about it’?

And no one day gathered the family at Alderlea together for Christmas. And there wu as well the day following when mos’. of this same family spent some hours with The Old Folks at Home. in the house by the Strait. We sometimes wonder as we approach the spot. what the like of Rob or Jock finds there. Probably only a place where some of their kin-folk dwell or forgathcr on 0c- cnsion. For oursclf, grey-haired and a grandmother by virtue of Jamie and our small ones. each return is a pilgrimage — and in the faccs of Ellen. namesake to us and the others of newer gen- erations we see the children, that dwelt Ihcre in the long .120. l‘. 1S a privilege indeed for folks to be able to spend Christmas at home. This fact was impressed upon us. by the cars assembled about this or that farm-ho e wc vH-“fd- 0" our wziy thit. -:' —~ (‘lilldffll and childrenls chil n COIllC home for

This year as in past Christmas seasons. we came to an alert cou- ple that has the interests of their children down now to a fourih generation, much a! heart. As at ‘Aldcrlea. thcv . ' like to giithcr I about an old armchair, occupied bv lone wno. in an old fashioned Yet ‘vgry "e way. ls ever regarded ‘and res; ‘cted as the head of the house. . id all find it interesting to look back with him along tho years. It ls often his pleasure Io contrast present-day methods 0f farming with those of his earlier years and the current and more casual wavs of living with U105? imore restricted (WW5 of the long iago. And somctimrs he gives onc gems of thought from an old Book, a choice bit that one had almost forgotten. and with inter- est and very graphically, with not a detail missing, he brings from the lives of past generations. lessons to be taken to hcart for the future.

One rite. unimportant in a “'8?- and yet missing from the Christ- mas ceremonies at table is tha‘. he no longer carves the roast.

And what of the one small lady. who rising long before dawn had attended to most of the prepara- tions for her family's Day? Once daughters and feminine ln-laws appear on the scene. her duties are given over to these. though tt is not an easy role for her to as- sume.

CANCER 0F THE LUNG

What marry of u: forget ll that nearly all synaplzoms of various all- ments clear up of themselves with- in a. reasonable time. If symptoms continue. with or without treat.- ment. for an "unreasonable" tlime.

then the cause of the symptoms should be investigated. I have in mind at this time

tumor 0r cancer of the lung. in which the early symptoms may be only a slight cough or perhaps a wheezy sound resembling asthma to some extent. It may be easily overlooked because the early symp- toms are so ntlid.

When we think of cancer. we usually think of cancer of the stomach. intestine, and brain. and the breasts and uterus in women. yer. research workers report that. cancer of the lung accounta for about eight pcr cent of all cancer cases.

In “Tho Amcrican Review of Tubcrculc Dr. R. Adams states that the three most valuable ap- proaches to early diagnosis of lung cancer are: (l) education of the public to consult a physician for any cou-gh lasting more than two wccics; i2) (out-alien of the pro- fcssion to inquire for symptoms, to flurosctipc (X-rayi) every new pat- ient. and to advise X-ray films when necessary: <3) Stopping the practice c-f m-aiing cough symp- toms and plcurisy without trying to find the cause.

Unfortunately. the early symp- toms of cnnccr of the lung are so “ordinary” that they are likely to be disregarded by both patient and physician—cough. pain ‘m chest: coughing up mucous and slight a-niounf of blood and wheez- ing. Later symptoms are shortness of breath collection of fluid in plural sac llower part of sac in which lungs he). severe pain. hoarscncss. loss of weight and weakness. The X-ray gives the most lung cancer, and the next. most valuable is the use 0f the bron- chosccpe. “which. if handled by a seasoned expert. will, in 90 per cent of cases give the proper diagnosis."

Removal of the section of the lung affected by cancer is at pres- cnt the only hope of cure. BY U115 cpcratinn. the records show 64 per cent alive at the and of one year or more. and 28 per cent five years later.
