Re cent studies have shown that blacks are getting some forms of cancer more than ever before and that a black person with cancer is more likely to die from it than a white person with the same kind of cancer. In the past 25 years, the overall cancer incidence rate for blacks went up eight per cent while for whites it drop ped three percent. During this period, cancer mortality for blacks increased 26 percent; for whites it rose five percent. , Most of the differences in black and white cancer rates have been attributed to envi ronmental and social factors rather than to inherent biolo gical characteristics. For example, blacks generally have a greater risk of expo sure to industrial carcinogens and are more likely to live in cities where the rates of all forms of cancer in all races are higher than in rural areas. is the use of good medical care. In general blacks have had less access to regular medical care and have not taken full advantage of medi cal facilities that are avail able. More blacks could be ' saved if they were to: 1) learn about available tests for can cer and the importance of early detection; 2) have regu lar check-ups; 3) contact a doctor as soon as a warning signal is noticed; and 4) know that many forms of cancer can be treated successfully. The American Cancer Society has committed itself 1 to developing a method of 1 combating the problem of ris- < ing cancer incidence and < death rates for blacks. f National ACS President ‘ LaSalle D Leffall, Jr., M.D. of Howard University has re- < quested that each unit i throughout the nation partici- ' pate in an effort to reach the I black members of its commu- i lity. "Our Mecklenburg Unit t s organizing a Task Force c chaired by Tolly Kennon, t ment a comprehensive pro gram to educate the local black population about the dangers of cancer and ways to protect themselves from it,” Dr. Leffall stated. He concluded, “We will be contacting you soon about this vital committee and hope that you will be as enthusiastic about its potential as we are It is only through the joint participation and cooperation of various sectors within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg com munity that the success of this program can be realized." tommon Use Of Vaccinations immunizations against the childhood diseases have been one of the most important medical discoveries of the iwentieth century. The com mon use of vaccinations igainst diseases such as polio, neasles, whooping cough, itc., has freed almost every ne from the crippling if not atal complications of these liseases. With the memory of the iffects of these diseases grow ng dimmer with the passing ears many forget that unless hildren are adequately mmunized the possibility of hese diseases recurring be omes more probable. Sadly nough, every case will have een avoidable. While infants receive “pas sive immunity" against infec tions from their mothers, this protection does not last This is why it is so important that children receive immuniza tion against the childhood di seases. There is no reason to expose them to diseases that are entirely preventable When a person is immunized a mild form of the particular disease is produced and the body reacts against it without becoming sick Immunity ac quired in this way, or by having the disease itself, is known as active immunity. It is also long-lasting since the bodv cells have learned how to resist later invasions of the same disease-producing germs J / gpyP*?*i* >* ► ^iv5'JfaK n TN HUOUVU6I WthUP'l YOU LL DO UClin WrrH A*PS groceries dairy products EIGHT O'CLOCK IQ fflTWrt mom-dairy creamer ,,-ofl19 CHBISI* »oi.$|29 You’* Do better with A* P'1 " \ action prices_ [ ■ Bij-jjja UJl #1 uniw ALL PtJftPOM WHITE POTATOES 10 £>99* NECTARINES 3i£ *1°° TOMATOES t. 49" LIMeT"* 6 a 69* CAULIFLOWER 77" AVOCADOS 25S 99"CELERY SSS 49 __ .
