It’s some thing very real, something 250, 000 Americans died of last year.” Cancer has been very real for Mrs. Edwards. She has been a victim of the dread disease. “I am thankful to say I’m one of the 800,000 Americans saved from cancer.” The charming Wake Forest ma tron did not realize she was a vic tim of cancer. She went to Duke Hospital in Durham for an arth ritic condition. She wanted to know if this arthritic condition would keep her from having a baby she and her husband wanted co miioVi At the close of the consultation, Mrs. Edwards was assured that she could have a baby. But they also told her she had an infected thyroid. There was a possibility .that the growth on the thyroid might be cancerous. She couldn’t have cancer, .she thought. It was impossible! And she was to be hostess at a house warming. The housewarming of the new home for her and her hus band. Could she come in immediately for surgery? the doctors wanted to know. But couldn’t she wait? At least until the housewarming was over? Her doctors did not ad vise it. Mrs. Edwards finally consented to the operation. She spent the greater part of the day on the operation day on the operating ta ble. It was over. Now came the waiting. Would it be successful. Waiting, waiting, waiting. After many months the doctors assured her it was successful. The malignancy had not metastasized— spread into the lymph and other (Continued on Page 2) Back At Work Dr. Zyba Massey has resumed the practice of dentistry at the L. M.

Both Roderick Strickland young men are in the 10th grade at Wakelon, and both were win ners in the local Science Fair. Massey exhibited a display of Newton’s three laws of motion, consisting of inertia, acceleration and action and reaction. He had a panel illustrating each law.

Colter, head of the psychology department of N. C. State College, told the patrons of Wakelon School PTA that more attention should be paid to the unusually bright child. The psychologist said that a great many of the schools in the nation are revising their curricu lums so that the unusually intelli gent children may profit from them. “The unusually bright child has been neglected,” Dr. Coiter said. “Educators have known this for a long time but were unable to do anything about it until recently.” He did not put too much empha sis on intelligence tests. He said these tests, no matter how thor ough, cannot accurately determine a child’s intelligence. They may fluctuate because a child is nerv ous, has had an unusually trying time at home, or other factors. The psychologist revealed that the speed-up of the missile pro gram has brought the highly in telligent student to the attention of educators and government offi cials. Dr. Coiter complimented Wake Ion School on its program for re habilitating retarded children. The speaker used terms the lay man could understand and spoke a great deal from 'practical experi ence in the field of psychol ogy, having four youngsters of his own. Approximately 200 persons at tended the meeting, according to Mrs. Bob Sawyer, president of Wakelon PTA.
