Cancer is a local disease at the
start,Ut was stated. Successful
treatment depends upon the pa
tient’s presenting himself when
the cancer can be completely re
moved by radiation or surgery.
With improved surgical tech
nique, the development of more
powerful x-ray machines, and a
wider and more scientific use of
radium, the field of treatment has
been materially enlarged and
much can be done to help the
advanced cancer patient as well.
In many cases, the extension of
the disease may be arrested and
the patient relieved of distress
ing symptoms.
According to the most recent
figures from the U. S. Bureau of
the Census, 17,152 women died
from uterine cancer and 16,379
from breast cancer in 1944. There

of the mouth and throat, and

Resolutions
Of Respect
In memory of Brother Muncey
Steadham who died April 9, 1947.
“Leaves have their time to fall,
and flowers to wither at the north
wind’s cold blast; but thou, oh
Death! hath all seasons for thine
own.”
Once again a Brother Mason,
having completed the designs
written for him on life’s trestle
board, has passed through the
portals of Eternity and entered
the Grand Lodge of the New Jer
usalem, and hath received as his
reward, the white stone with the
new name written thereon.
And Whereas, the all-wise and
merciful Master of the Universe
has called from labor to refresh
ment, our beloved and respected
brother, and he having been a
true and faithful ■memt'er of our
beloved Order, therefore be it
resolved, that Sparta Lodge, No.
423 Ancient, Free and Accepted
Masons, of Sparta, N. C-, in
testimony of its loss, tenders the
family of our deseased Member
sincere condolenee in their deep
affliction and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family.
