The discovery of the first drug which stopped the speedy and usually fatal black cancer, Melanoma, was of a new pill which stops leukemia temporarily, but not permanently, The drug which stops Melanoma, also works only for a time but it has banished this dreaded form of cancer for as long as a year in one patient. Up to the present, no other drug or treatment (other than surgery) has had much effect on Melanoma. The new.drug is nicknamed TEPA. cee nie BA The pill which checks leutiemia, temporarily, is nick- named M.P. M.P. is not the first drug-which checks leuke- mia, but it is one which prolongs thé liyes of victims when the other drugs have been used to thé Minitiof their powers. M.P. has been used on a number of children with acute, or fast-acting leukemia, and temporarily knocked out the disease in some, substantially improved others. The good effects lasted only one to six months, when the disease reoccurred as the patients became resistant to the drug. The fight.against cancer, and several other grim reap- ers, is continuing daily, although an answer to these dreaded diseases is yet to be found by medical science. The discovery of each new drug, ev@h though it helps only temporarily, gives new hope that soon the answer to many of our most deadly diseases will be found. It is sometimes discouraging to realize that even with our super-modern civilization of mechanical robots, jet planes and atom-bombs, we still cannot save the life of a little child afflicted with a disease which has been known to man for centuries. Elders seldom approve of the new habits of the rising generation, Then there are those people who brag about the sum * they pay in taxes, The dictionary, like your Bible, can do you no good unless you make use of it.

There also is a possibility that Crusade Leaflets Distributed Free By Cancer Society Five thousand copies of the cru- sade leaflets of the American Can- cer Society were distributed free in the schools of Key West, Bob Daniels campaign chairman an- nounced today. A cash prize of $5.00 is to be given the classroom with the highest donation. The school with the largest donation will win the American Cancer So- ciety citation. The schools are re- quested to have their donations in by Friday May 8. “This is one of the ways that the public is being alerted to cancer’s seven danger signals in Key West.” On the cover of one of the leaf- lets is a striking drawing of a young mother, saved from cancer, and her daughter. The drawing was contributed to the drive by Amos Sewell, well known Westport, | Conn., artist. The leaflet explains that the mother was saved through her knowledge of cancer’s seven dan- ger signals, but points out that each year more than 60,000 young- sters under 18 lose a parent to cancer. The seven danger signals, which the American Cancer Society urges everyone to memorize are: 1, Any sore that does:not heal. 2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. 3. Unusual bleeding or discharge. 4. Any change in a wart or mole. 5. Persistent indigestion or dif- ficulty in swallowing. 6. Persistent hoarseness or cough. 7. Any change in normal bowel habits. “These symptoms may not mean cancer but anyone of them should send you promptly to your doctor,” the ACS said.

We have just received a letter from National Headquarters, Tul- sa, Oklahoma commending our club as being one of the elements responsible for the huge success of the contest. On behalf of the Key West Junior Chamber of Commerce, with much sincerity, gratitude, and deep appreciation I pass that commendation on to you for your cooperation in our recent local contests, as without your help the contest’ would have not been suc- cessful even at the local level.
