The first amendment to the Constitution prevents
Congress from passing any law “...abridging the freedom
of speech or of the press...”, thus insuring the right to
a free press created apart from the government. It was
the responsibility of the new nation to guarantee to its
people the freedoms they fought to gain through in-
dependence from Great Britain. Although we gained
the right to a free press, we also took the responsibility
of informing the public through honest and accurate
reporting. It is the tradition of a free and responsible
press that we strive to uphold today. We work to bring you
the latest news from around our community, our nation
and the world. We believe that our responsibility includes
informing you with in-depth articles exploring all of the
issues that confront us each day. We also try to enlighten
and entertain you with feature articles about people,
places, sports, food, books and the arts. We like to
assist you in shopping with classified and display
advertisements. A newspaper best serves the community
by bringing its readers into closer contact with the world
around them. This is the responsibility and the tradition
of a free press in the United States of America guaranteed
by the first amendment to the Constitution.

teen-age girls smoke?”
ANSWERIine: No. According
to the latest study, done for
the American Cancer Society,
only 27 percent of teenage
girls smoke cigarettes. How-
ever, most teenagers believe
incorrectly that it is far more

A grandmother notes: ‘‘I have
heard of something called
“black cancer” that starts
with a mole on your body.
What is it?”
ANSWERIine: You are refer-
ring to a malignant melanoma,
a form of skin cancer that
commonly arises from a pre-
existing mole. Although ma-
lignant melanomas may be
red, or blue or white, they
are most often dark growths,
hence the name you mention.
These growths can be very
dangerous and that is why
the American Cancer Society
teaches the public to heed
the warning signal—an obvious
change in a wart or mole.
Early diagnosis and treatment
are crucial to saving lives from
malignant melanoma.

There are some of the laws of
the Bible we take lightly. We
say they don’t apply today or
that we are living under grace.
Even though we are living under
grace there are certain laws that
must be followed.
The philosophy of Joe Flet-
cher is very close to the law of
grace...his is simply the “Laws
of love” if it is in love and
doesn’t hurt anyone it is “OK.”
Let us take a look at just a few
today and more in the future.

far as Exodus 21:15-17. “Who-

A reader asks: “Can you tell
me of any recent advances in
treating children who have
cancer?”
ANSWERIine: There has been
progress in treating several
forms of childhood cancer.
Here is a recent example of a
dramatic improvement: as re-
cently as 1966, a child with
cancer of the lymph system
rarely survived. Now the latest
follow-up done on children
given intensive drug treatment
and radiation at the Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
in New York City shows 64%
of the young patients free of
disease and off therapy for
more than four years. Best of
all, all these are active, thriv-
ing children attending school
regularly.

it be good to have?”
ANSWERIine: There are a
number of cancer policies on
the market, but the companies

mitted to use American Can-
cer Society informational ma-
terials, and the ACS does ndt
endorse them. The ACS be-
lieves that medical insurance
is essential but ordinary cov-

A businessman explains: “I
gave up cigarettes for good
last week after my newspaper
caught on fire because I was
dozing. I had a close call, but
I bet it happens to a lot of
people. How much are ciga-
rettes costing us just in pre-
ventable fires?”
ANSWERIine: It has been es-
timated that smoking costs
the country a minimum of
$9 billion (in addition to what
the public pays to buy ciga-
rettes) because of building and
forest fires, and of course,
higher insurance premiums.
