6 THE CAROLINA TIMES SAT-' JANUARY 10. 1976 .'lr by Otto McClarrin ft? rZJ wil Government Planning Cancer 4 erf; Since one of every four Americans probably develop cancer, the Government is working on a cancer alert to tip off the public about suspicious chemical agents that may cause cancer but have not yet been thoroughly tested. Ever since recent studies showed 25 per cent of all Americans will get some type of cancer during their lifetime, there has been pressure to get quick publication of laboratory findings about tested chemical agents and compounds. .The Health, Education and Welfare Department is considering a plan to public memos about research. "The idea is to let people know results exist, but we don't know what they mean," said Dr. Ian Mitchell of the agency. SMALLPOX NOW ONLY IN ETHIOPIA: The battle to eliminate smallpox around the globe is almost won, according to an announcement by the World Health Organization. The organization said Asia is now free of the disease and Ethiopia is the only country still reporting cases. Bangladesh, the last Asian country with smallpox, was declared officially free of the disease on November I 2. WHO. a specialized agency of the United Nations, began its eradication campaign nine years ago when 31 countries were considered breeding grounds for the disease, suffering more than 2.5 million cases each year. "In the ninth year of the ten-year campaign, Asia has been cleared of smallpox and Ethiopia is the last country in the world with infection,'" WHO said. "This is a very historic milestone - this was a great killer disease, there was no cure for it." WHO said the program will have cost S83 million by the time it is completed in early 1978, compared with the more than SI billion all nations spent annually in the past just to keep the disease in check. h-:;- Dr. Eugene Braunwald, head of the Department" of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, says modern skill and space age instruments in cardiac care units have cut the death rate from the fatal arrhythmias, or abnormal flutterings that often . turn a heart attack into a permanent stoppage. Heart failure, or a general weakening of the pump to the point where circulation falters, is a complication that has resisted the advance of science. Braunwald and other researchers knew that when a heart attack occurs, blood vessels nourishing the pumping rnuscle are blocked, leading to death by starving 6f large areas of muscle. And the greater the amount bf muscle tissue death, they noted, the more likely thtpMart would fail. Until recently it was believed that once the crucial blood supply to the heart muscle was blocked (usually by clots), the damage was done and irreversible. BREAST CANCER: Treatment of breast cancer with radiation has proved to be as successful as mastectomy in some women studied at Harvard Medical School. Drs. Eric Weber and Samuel Hellman reported recently on treatment of 100 patients with localized brease cancer over a five-year period. Most of the patients were elderly and infirm and unsuitable for massive breast surgery. A few were wives of physicians or young women who refused to have a breast removed. Weber and Hellman's report follows similar reports from other centers which have showji that radiation therapy may be as successful as radical surgery in the treatment of breast cancer. Local J.C.

Trade. Medicare and Medicaid. ' Medicare is an insurance program wliich pays part (but not all) of hospital and medical costs for people who are insured. Medicare is financed by payroll contributions, monthly premiums paid by insured persons, and monthly premiums paid by the Federal Government. ' Medicaid is an assistance program which pays for many health . services including hospital care and doctor's fees, it can pay what Medicare does not pay for people eligible for both programs. Medicaid is financed by Federal and State Governments. Since Medicare is a Federal program, it is the same all over the United States.
