Baptist Hospital Doctors Cure Girl Afflicted with Rare Tumor of Skin Recently recovered from lymphangioma circumscriptum after two years of treatments, Mozell Farmer of Lincolnton talks with her pastor, the Rev. Eddie Reynolds, in his study at Southside Baptist church, ^incobiton. Mozell suffered from the malady nine years. Winston-Salem — Lymphangioma circumscriptum is so rare that few persons have even heard of it. North Carolina Baptist hospital doptors find only about three such cases a year among some 17,000 bed patients and 150,000 patient visits to its clinics. Rare or not, it was the constant companion of Mozell Farmer of Lincalnton for nine long years, an noying and embarrassing her un (til she dropped out of school and almost quit attending church. Today, she is well because of the skill of physicians, the helpfulness of her pastor, and her own pa tience and determination. The disease is a tumor of the skin involving vessels Ihrough which lymph fluid flows. Although it is benign and seldom becomes malignant, the tumor can cause great discomfort. It is made up of small blisters which drain when they are irritated. Motell's trouble began with a rash which appeared on her shoul der when she was 10 years old. Doctors told her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Farmer, that it was notiling to be too concerned about and was not dangerous. In spite of treatments the breaking-out re mained and spread until it cover ed a wide area of her shoulder and arm. She tried to go to school and en joy the life of the community, but it was no fun being with friends when she never knew when the draining would start and her clothes would be ruined. Finally, when she was in the eleventh grade, she decided she would nev er get rid of the ugly rash and that she hade taken about all she coitid. She quit school and prac tically withdrew into a shell. Had it not been for a chance vis it to a friend at Baptist Hospital, she might still be in near seclu | sion. But this trip resulted m an [examination at the hospital’s out j patient clinic and two years of treatments. Doctors warned her that treatments would require many many months, “My doctor told me,” she said, “that I mustn't give up hope and that if I would come to the hospital regularly they would work with me and finally I would be cured.” She went to the hospital weekly, semi-monthly, and then less fre quently for two years. Then late in July her doctors pronounced her cured. “You can’t even see a scar,” she explained a day or two after this visit. The distance from Lincolnton to Winston-Salem is 85 miles. Trans portation for every appointment was provided by Mozell’s pastor, the Rev. Eddie Reynolds of South side Baptist church, who also ar ranged with the hospital for her care and kept close watch on her progress. On several occasions her treat ments necessitated her being kept at the hospital for a few days. Mr. Reynolds . vvoqld return for her when JshO^wffS 'able to go’'back home. ‘-Withoat preacher Reyn olds, I don’t .see how I could have taken advantage of my chance to get well*” Mozell says now. Mach more than physical health has come out of the two years of treatment. Mozell, who had just aobut given up, has returned to high school and has graduated. She is active in church work, has a job as a dental assistant, and is thinking seriously of college for the fall of 1961. But best of all perhaps—“I can wear short-sleeved dresses now— and swimming suits.” A caravel is a light-tonnage ship; originally a fleet vessel of Spain and Portugal in the 15th Century.

The way he’s holding his head in his paws, he’s probably sleeping off a hangover. Nothing could be crueller than to be awakened from such a sleep, but that is what happened. The choice spot for a snooae is coveted by Scrappy, who crawled aboard, let fly with a fistful of claws, and imbedded the yowling Chris. (Photos by Reginald Lewis) How to Best Use Freezer Space You cannot "exactly stretch the freeaer but you con at retch your mind and think up ways not to waste the space you have. You may be wishing for more space now so you can get more of those big, ripe peaches in the freezer. Miss Nita Orr, frozen food spe cialist for the NC Agricultural Ex tension Service, advises you to count the corn cobs now. Corn on the cob is an extravagant user of space. However if you feel you must freeze some on the cob, use the corn with small cobs for exam ple, Seneca Chief. Large bones have no place in the freezer. Boned meet is easier to carve, easier to serve, and easier to eat. Miss Orr says you can store three turkey rolls or one tur key with its bones in the same space. A good freezing bag in a sturdy carton uses space well Cornered pans for cakes, pies and other cooked foods are better than round ones. They wrap easier and stack better. “Extra wrapping on meat and poultry slows up freezing and does no good in storage," says Miss Orr. “Use just enough to cover the food and to make a tight closure.” Keep your food moving in the freezer. Keep up with what you put in and what you take out. If you manage your freezer space right, you can put more food into it.
