An Island friend living in Texas has sent me papers describing the Rose festival held in June. Texas is the state where more roses are groit'ii than any other state in the union. and I will share this Texas Rose Show with you.... National Rose Week was celebra- ted by a showing of 100.000 rose blooms and when we remember that twenty million rose plants are shipped out of Texas (Tyler) an- nually we can understand Texas being called the "Rose State."

That Body of Yours By James W. Barton. M. D. ADVICE ABOUT BREAST CANCER Several years ago I first wrote about three middle-aged women who each had a lump in the breast but had not consulted their physic- ian. They thought the lump was likely to be cancer and as their hus- band had planned is lengthy holl- day for the whole family they felt the holiday would be spoiled if the physician diagnosed cancer and so did not consult him until they came home. Fortunately. in these three instanc. the lumps were due to enlarged milk glands and not. cancer. but the delay might have been fatal if it had been cancer. Today physicians and surgeons are no suspicious of a lump in the breast that they consider it. if not cancer, as likely to develop into cancer and so take no chances. They iemove not just the lump but. in most casu, the entire breast. In Geriatrics. Dr. Clarence E. Gardner, .Ir.. states that "Cancer occurs in the breast twice as often as in any other organ. Since women are aware of this fact and are being taught early signs of cancer (malignancy) they are presenting themselves to their doctors in in- creasing numbers when any obnor- mallty occurs in the breast." until recent years. cancer of the uterus stood first, but now it in cancer of the breast.

Yes, unless you really want nothing further to do with the per- son extending the invitation. "I'm Sorry. but I have another engage- ment" is usually good form. Q. If tea is served and a guest does not care for it. would it be all right for this guest to ask for a. cup of coffee? A. Not unless the hostess asks if he or she would prefer coffee. Other- wise, drink the tea, or part of it, Burma Women Menls Equal By DAVID CHIPP RANGOON. (Reuters)- Burma's cigar-smoking women look with sympathy at the efforts of their sisters in Japan and other parts of the world to obtain equality. For in Burma the woman has always been regarded as equal to her husband and there has never been any need for suffragette movements or demands for equal- ity. The wife knows that she is equal and perhaps even "more than equal." A paragraph in the constitution should give encouragement and hope to those militant fe ale fighters for equal pay in Wes ern countries. It reads: ”Women shall be entitled to the same pay as that received by men in respect of similar work." Nor is this an iniiovatlon in a constitution which was written only seven years ago. It merely re- lates, like a similar clause rela- ting to religious toleration. the in- herent beliefs of the Burmese. Although most Buddhist women believe that they cannot achieve Nirvana and thus hope to be a man in their next life. yet in mat- erial things they have little doubt as to their equality and even su- periority over the male. BETTER. AT BUSINESS Great. numbers of them engage in business and are said to be far better at it than their some- what indolent. happy - go - lucky merilolk. In the bazaars. using their in- evltable cheroots to emphasize a point. they do business fast and well. although they have been up since before dawn working in their homes and will have more to do once business is over. A Burmese women has equality before the law and may vote at the age of 18, the same age as men. When she is of age. she may get married to whom she pleases and divorce her husband when she wishes. keeping both her property and her children. There is no religous ceremony attached to a Buddhist wedding. for s phongyi monk could not give his blessing to anything so worldly as marriage. Bnt there is often a big party to which rela- tlves and friends are invited to watch the couple' eat out of the same bowl to symbolize unity. DOROTHY DIX and , no pref . Q.
