Girl Scouting Alive The Madison County Girl Scouts have had a very active year during 1976-1977. The number of girls served is 90 and in addition, more than 20 adults were actively involved in the weekly troop meetings, service team, camping and other special activities. "In the next year we hope to start new troops all over Madison County to introduce more girls to the world of Girl Scouting," Judy Bartlett, field executive for Madison County, stated. Girl scouting exists in the United States today because more than half a million adults ? 536,000 is a closer count ? devote time, energy, and dollars to serving as leaders and helpers of the movement's 2,623,000 girls. They are the persons who take to heart the challenge to keep the movement firmly rooted in its values and yet sensitive to change and flexible in response Dr. Gloria D. Scott, Girl Scout national president, expressed her beliefs this way: "... we reaffirm the commitment of youth to building the future of our country and the commitment of adult volunteers to helping today's girls grow into tomorrows leaders of com munity, state, and nation." One way Girl scouting helps girls grow is through its moral values. Girl scouting is built on ? and young minds are shaped by ? the inspiration of its promise and law The promise is: On my honor, I will try to serve God, my country and mankind and to HBfli live by the Girl Scout Law. The Law is: 1 will do my best to be honest, to be fair, to help where I am needed, to be cheerful, to be friendly and considerate, to be a sister to every Girl Scout, to respect authority, to use resources wisely, to protect and improve the world around me, to show respect for myself and others through my words and ac tions.

Doctors Urge Self Examination For Breast Cancer Signs Women in North Carolina 1 are going to find it easier than 1 ever to learn how to check their breasts for possible cancer signs. The state's public health departments are sending 300 public health nurses to Duke University to practice teaching breast self examination Nurses from 52 counties have already completed the course. When nurses from the remaining 48 counties are trained, a woman anywhere in the state will be able to arrange for a free demon stration from a course graduate by calling her local health department SELF-examination involves watching for unusual changes in the breasts and feeling with the fingertips for suspicious lumps. If a woman finds a lump, four times out of five, it will not be cancerous But medical tests are necessary to make sure. If the lump does turn up cancerous, the sooner the woman has gone to the doctor the better off she will be Rural women stand to benefit most as a result of the training program, said Dr Josephine Newell, coordinator of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project at Duke where the nurses are learning. Most women visiting public health clinics in North Carolina live in rural areas, she said. No matter where women live, they're going to have more peace of mind after a graduate of the course teaches them, said Don Batts, manager of the state Division jf Health Services Cancer Detection Program The nurses teach by examining women them selves, Batts explained. So women taught by the specially trained nurses are "going to be more sure that if something is there, the nurse is going to discover it," he said. If a public lealth nurse happens to find a suspicious lump or other sign during the teaching session, she refers the woman to a physician. Hie state Cancer Detection Program paid for a training building at the project site. The National Cancer Institute is providing the money for training expenses Public health nurses spend two days at the project near the Duke Medical Center campus. They first review breast function and diseases with instructor Connie Jones, a registered nurse. Then they examine as many as 25 patients with Miss Jones In the past, public health nurses learned breast self examination by finding lumps in soft plastic models. But according to one course graduate, Ann White, of the Pittsboro Health Department, "You need practice with ac tual patients to develop self confidence " Another graduate, Nancy Kelley, of the Carteret County Health Department, got so self-confident after training that she insisted on teaching self-examination to women who didn't want to learn it. Hie woman turned out to have breast cancer. "If I hadn't had the course, I might not have examined her on that visit," Mrs Kelley said. "Any mass in the breast," said Miss Jones, "any thickening, dimpling, color changes such as a very red area or a bruised area, any change in the size or shape of the breasts " The nurses also watch for fluid coming from the nipples and for enlargement of the lymph nodes under the arm and above the collar bone, the instructor said. Next they learn how to feel for lumps with the pads of the fingers. "We have the patient lie down flat on her back and we examine like spokes on a wheel, feelirg from the outside into the center," she said. Miss Jones said she has patients and nurses feel a knuckle as an example of how a breast lump fees The training program has won praise for the 25-year-old instructor, according to Dr. Newell, her boss. "I have a whole folder of letters of appreciation from nurses who've been through the program," Dr. Newell said. "And they're not solicited. Connie is an ex cellent teacher." Others think so too. The North Carolina Association of Occupational Health Nurses has hired Miss Jones to teach breast self-examination seminars to its members on Saturdays. A total of 133 oc cupational health nurses have attended the sessions so far with more seminars schedules.
