But If Is Slower Smoking Like Shooting Self, Noted Cancer Surgeon Warns $12.50 CHECK - Pictured above is Bea Edwards with an excited expression on her face after receiving a check for first prize in The Ahoskie Herald football contest. Out of 15 games she chose 14 winners, the other being an upset game. ROANOKE UPl — “Smoking is just like shooting yourself.” Dr. Alton Ochsner, who has done more lung cancer surgery than any other living man, says: If you can’t stop smoking you should have an X-ray every three months. Dr. Ochsner who i s from New Orleans’ Ochsner Clinic and the Ochsner Foundation Hospital said in Roanoke he as sumes that “everybody who smokes long enough—if some thing else doesn’t get him first— will get lung cancer.” He was here Monday to ad dress the 33rd annual spring congress of the Gill Memorial Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and Foundation. "Smoking is suicide," he said, mildly, at hotel Patrick Henry. Shooting is really better than smoking Dr. Ochsner contends. It’s “quicker.” Whereas death from lung cancer tends to be” .long . . . expensive . . . painful.” “I’ve never smoked.” He said. “I’m afraid to.” He said: “We now have con- Two Foreign Students Like Chowan^ U.S.A. Visitors leaving the Old Columns Building Chowan is fortunate this year to have two foreign students, one from Finland and the other from Thailand. Welcome Projit and Liisa to the campus of Cho wan. FROM THAILAND On the second floor of the new dormitory there is the cutest little girl from Bangkok, Thai land, named Projit Pachimsa- wat. Projit is 23-years-old and not very taU—only about five feet. In August she arrived in San Francisco on an airplane with her sister-in-law. On the way over they made three stops— Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii. She came from there to Chowan. Projit's older sister, Prime, who graduated from Chowan last June, brought her to Chowan to enroll. Upon her arrival she said the campus reminded her of her own country. There are five boys and four girls in her family. Projit’s 18- year-old sister makes her clothes —and how stylish they are. Her father owns a sawmill in the northern part of Thailand. Projit hopes to help him with his business when she grad uates. Buddhism is her religion. The iirst Sunday here some Chowan girls took her to the Murfrees boro Baptist Church. When asked what she thought of the sermon she replied, “I under stood very little, but he talked of God. It is good to go to church.” Projit says everyone here Is so friendly and she likes Chowan just fine. She says, “The men are very handsome and nice, but dating is not the same as my custom. You see, in Thailand a boy cannot go out with a girl unless he knows the family well, and then he has to have their permission. When they do go out, another girl goes with them.” Thailand student, Projit, shakes hand with Finland student, Liisa—two campus favorites. The music in her country is very similar to that in the Unit ed States. "Young and old,” she says, “go to listen to music at the music halls on the week ends." “The country here looks like my own, even the food is like ours. My favorites are chicken, beef, and ice cream." Projit, a very interesting per son, is studying liberal arts. If you haven’t met her, you’ve missed a treat. elusive proof" of the link be tween smoking and lung cancer. The sooner the smoker quits, the better, he said. “The dam age is reversible." That is, your chances for survival soar immediately when you stop smoking. But “one cigarette a day is enough” to keep you ripe for cancer, says the surgeon who regards himself as a southerner because he was born in South Dakota. Forty thousand Americans die of lung cancer each year, he said. Death from lung cancer was almost unknown until the mid thirties. He puts the year at 1934, 20 years after 1914, the year he says Americans first be gan smoking heavily. Now lung cancer is the most frequent of all cancers.” This knowledge has caused on ly doctors to stop smoking, par ticularly theracic surgeons who conduct chest operations. “It is frightening to me to think what will happen in anoth er 10 or 15 years when our smoking habits catch up with us,” Dr. Ochsner observed. Right now it is catching up with women, who are increas ingly heavy smokers, said the youthful, 64-year-old doctor. He foresees the time when the production of tobacco might be regulated as is the growth of opium poppies today, and its use prescribed, exactly as with opium now. What about quitting? “The principal thing is being convinced.” How about switching to fil ters? Filters are excellent if you snip off the tobacco and smoke filter only, the Tulane surgery professor reported. Proud Father One of the proudest men in the Roanoke-Chowan area this summer was The Rev. Oscar Creech, director of development at the college. The August issue of the READER’S DIGEST con tained a four-page article relat ing the dramatic story of a new weapon against cancer. The man quoted in most of the ar ticle was Dr. Oscar Creech, Jr., Chairman of the Depart ment of Surgery at Tulane Uni versity. Dr. Creech is one of the foremost men in America in his field. FROM FINLAND Chowan is happy to have this year, Liisa Keski-Luopa from Keuruu, Central Finland. Keu- ruu is famous for its natural beauty, large lakes and forests. Liisa applied for a scholarship to the United States and was in terested in a school in the east ern part, because she believes this is the heart of the United States and people speak better English. When asked her opinion on how she likes Murfreesboro she said, “I think the town of Mur freesboro is beautiful; it is some thing like a dream and the col lege buildings are wonderful." The food of Finland is like that of the United States, but is fixed in a different way. Her favorite food is summer soup, which is a mixture of spinach, peas, carrots, potatoes, and milk. Dating is very similar to that of the United States, but instead of riding on dates in Finland, they walk. Liisa said the thing that im presses her most is the kindness shown her and the friendlinesa between the students and teach ers. “In Finland we have a large number of colleges and the teachers don’t even know our names, just our numbers.”
