GIVE TO CONQUER CANCER . • •
Tens of thousands of families face cancer each year
and triumph over it. This heart-warming fact is too
seldom reported because a tragedy averted is not
news. We rarely hear of the victories over this
disease.
What most of know about cancer has been learned
from advance cases where the disease reaches beyond
the patient to his family and to his community.
Months of care and treatment, heavy expenses, the
pain and need may create cruel problems. The patient
and all those near him share a terrible burden.
It is reassuring to us to know that we are not
helpless against cancer, and that we need not teel
hopeless and our wills need not be paralyzed v hen
we face this picture. Medical men and scientists are
working around the clock in an effort to find a cure
for this disease.
You can help fight cancer by giving freely to the
campaign which is now underway in this commun
ity. Sponsored annually by the Black Mountain Wom
an’s Club, the drive will continue through the month
of April. The quota for Buncombe county is $8,288.75.
In North Carolina 3,197 people will die this year
of cancer. It is believed that one-third of these could
be saved by early diagnosis and treatment. Your dol
lars, many dollars are needed. Give to conquer
cancer.

DOGS QUARANTINED
From Page 1, this Sec.
of rabies, the furious and the
dumb. Usually in the furious form
the dog will become nervous and
easily startled by noises. Restless
ness is common. Sometimes there
is a tendency to hide. In a few
days the dog becomes vicious and
as a rule will run for miles, bit
ing other dogs, animals or per
sons in its path. There is a def
inite mad look in his eyes. Then
paralysis sets in, effecting the
mouth with drooling, inability to
swallow and affecting the hind
legs, followed by complete para
lysis. In the dumb form of rabies
one or all of the early symptoms
of furious rabies are noticable
but usually paralysis of the lower
jaw and tongue are most prom
inent and first noticed. The lower
jaw hangs down and the tongue
out. Mr. Parris also cautioned
against the handling of strange
animals.
The May Faircloth-Dixon Hu
mane Society is assisting the
board of health in getting out the
quarantine notices and informa
tion to the public. Mr. F. W. Dixon,
president, said today that the
Society will be glad to help in any
way possible. Dogs should be con
fined so that they may get exer
cise, with shelter from the weath
er and with fresh water, Mr. Dixon
stated.
