Lavaca County
Again Exceeds
Red Cross Quota
In the recent Fund Cam-
paign Drive of the American
Red Cross Lavaca County was
given a quota of $2,160.00. With
the fine cooperation of every-
one including workers and con-
tributors the sum of $3,270.05
has been raised to date. This
simply means that we have ex-
ceeded our quota by 51.4 per
cent.
As Chairman of this drive for
Lavaca County I appreciate
very highly the fine spirit that
was mahifested in this worthy-
cause. You have worked faith-
fully and given liberally. Many
gave to this cause just as they
did when we were in the mid-
dle of the war. It has been both
a pleasure and a privilege to
have had a small part in this
drive.
The work of the American
Red Cross must go on whether
we are at war or not.
I want to express my thanks
and appreciation again to those
who have helped in any way to
make this drive such a success.
E. S. (Pat) Kelly, Chairman,
Fund Campaign American Red
Cross.

Veterans School For
Shiner Virtually
Assured
Twenty-one ex-service merg,
met Monday night, April 15, to
organize a Veterans Agriculture
School in Shiner. Those pres-
ent included men who are at
present on the farm or soon
plan to be.
Mr. W. A. Eilers, the County
School Superintendent, ex-
plained the program and an-
swered many questions asked
by the men regarding the pro-
gram. He expressed his desire
to have twenty-five (25) men
sign up for the program as soon
as possible so the County Board
of Education can have sufficient
time to make necessary ar-
rangements for early opening of
this school.
Those interested ex-service
men who think they can qualify
for this training should contact
Emil J. Polasek, at the City Hall
every Thursday, or J. M. Yater,
Vocational Agriculture Teacher
of the Shiner High School. Both
men will be glad to answer any
questions concerning this pro-
gram, or give assistance in fill-
ing out applications for this
school.
If you have not already
signed up for this school but in-
tend to, please do so at your
earliest convenience as many
are anxious to have this pro-
gram in operation as soon as
possible.

gave a few musical numbers
which was enjoyed very much.
We wish to thank Mr. Yater
and his class for the nice en-
tertainment. The meeting then
opened for its regular business
session. Mrs. Boyle in her pleas-
ing manner gave a short report
on the Schulenburg meeting.
She complimented our president

sulted in the following being

Cancer Control Month
Proclaimed For April
AUSTIN, Texas, April 15. —
By proclamation of President
Harry S. Truman, the month of
April is Cancer Control Month
throughout the nation. Dr. Geo.
!W. Cox, State Health Officer, is
asking each citizen to consider
the danger signals and secure
medical advice at the first ap-
pearance of any suspicious sym-
ptom. There are many cause^f
cancer; the most common forai
of which is chronic or pro-
longed irritation.
One of the questions often
asked is whether or not cancer
is hereditary in human beings.
Tendencies to form cancer may
possibly be inherited; however,
since the method of inheriting 9
such tendencies is obscure, the
presence of cancer in one or “both
parents should be merely a cause
of greater alertness in looking
for and recognizing suspicious
symptoms on the part of family
members. There is no need of a
fatalistic attitude. The facts
concerning heredity do not
justify them.
At the first warning signs!
recognized, consult your phy-
sician. The early symptoms are
any sore that does not heal,
particularly about the tongue,
mouth, or lips; a painless lump
or thickening, especially in the
breast, lip, or tongue; irregular
bleeding or discharge from any
natural body opening; progres-
sive change in the size or color
of a wart, mole, or birthmark;
persistent indigestion; persistent
hoarseness or difficulty in swal-
lowing; and any change in nor-
mal bowel habits. See your doc-
tor about any of these signals.
Early recognition of cancer
symptoms will lead to early
diagnosis and treatment, and in
many cases the victim can be
entirely cured and live out a
normal life span.
