GAIL ESKEW, Clerk,
District Court, Bastrop County,
the recruiting of thousands of wo-
men this month, and WAC personnel
in Austin assume that if wonvrn do
not voluntarily enlist, drastic mea-
ures will be taken to meet the requir-
ed quotas.
The technician quotas filled an
essentially the high skilled ones.
Still open are dozens of fields for
medical, surgical, and dental tech-
nicians.
No previous medicul experience is
required. The army will train any
woman between the ages of j0 and
40 with two years of high school
education who passes the initial en-
trance examinations with no expensv
whatever to the applicant.
Women who have had nurses aid
training will not be required to take
additional training, but will be as-
signed directly to a hospital after
completing their basic training.
Lt. Pauline R. Sternenberg, officer
in charge of recruiting in Austin,
said, "For six months now, the ar-
my has been trying desperately to
get medical technicians for hospi-
tals. Their efforts haven't brought
too good results. Although thousands
have enlisted as medical technicians,
so many more thousands are needed.
Women just don't seem to realize
that they can help save live-, yes,
lives of men just like sons and broth-
ers and sweethearts. They just don't
seem to realize the war is so clost
to home, but if only they, individual-
ly, would visit any army hospital and
see the thousands of maimed boys
and men—battle weary with legs
and arms gone—literally babies who
have been through actual hell on the
fighting front, some with only parts
of their faces left—others trying to
be cheerful while waiting so patient-
ly for their turn to get treated by
a doctor, or too busy, or over-worked
nurse. If women could see those bt.y--
they would know there definitely i*
a crying need for them—not afte> the
war. but now—when. our casualties
are being returned in surh great num-
bers. We need women- the array

Many Rumored
Causes Of Cancer
Found False
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 14 — Many
false ideas and misconceptions re-
garding the cause of cancer are re-
sponsible for an unjustified fear of
this disease according to a statement
released by Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
"We receive many inquiries as to
what is the cause of cancer," Dr.
Cox said. "In order to reduce the to-1
tal of 160,000 cancer deaths in the j
United States each year it would bej
well for the general public to be
more fully informed about the estab-
lished cancer facts.
"The more common cause of can-
cer," Dr. Cox asserted, "is some form
of chronic or prolonged irritation
such as friction. Constant friction of
a mole or wart or of an old burn
scar may produce cancer.
"Cancer is seldom caused from a
single bruise. A type of bone can
In commenting on some of the old-
fashioned ideas about the causes of
cancer, Dr. Cox said it is time for
the average person to realize thai
aluminum cooking vessels, electri • ic-
frigeration, or certain food groups
cannot be the cause of cancer.
"Certainly aluminum vessels and
electric refrigeration has nothing to
do with it. and there is no known
food or combination of foods that
have any influence on the cause or
cure of cancer," Dr. <"ox said.
Cancer can often be cured if diag
nosed in time. If the earliest symp-
toms such as enlargement or change
of color in any mole or wart, bleed-
ing from any body cavity or chronic
indigestion with an aversion to mea
are heeded as warnings, and early
diagnosis is secured, x-ray, radium,
or surgery may save the life of the
patient.
More Cattle Shipped
From Texas In 1944
AUSTIN, Texas.—Shipments of
tattle, calves and sheep in Texas
in 1944 surpassed totnl shipments in
1SJ43, but shipment of hogs was less

ness Research reports.
