THAT'S YOUR WORD' Miss Juanita Cotton likes to adopt children Adoptive Mother In Wheelchair: 'It Isn't Difficult' CHARLESTON, W. Va: (AP) Juanita Cotton is single and confined to a wheelchair. Yet she has adopted one child and is in the process of adopting another. Being an adoptive mother isn't difficult, she says, but becoming one is. "I've been the object of every kind of prejudice racial, religious, professional, says the 41 year old Negro art teacher.

"But the prejudice against physically handicapped people is the most vicious. I get pretty tired of being told what I can't do because I'm 'handicapped. Most of the things I'm not supposed to do are things I've been doing all my life," she says. The Children's Home Society agrees. It permitted Miss Cotton to adopt Yvonne Marie now 2, in March 1968, and currently is in the process of giving her a second Negro child.

"Througlrour experience with her and her care of the first child, we feel comfortable in saying she is ready for second," said Mrs. Malmarie Sulek, director of the agency. Miss Cotton, an instructor at West Virginia State College in nearby Institute, has been confined to a wheelchair since the age of three when she was stricken with polio. But she used to babysit for as many as eight children at once, she says, so caring for Yvonne Marie is no problem. "I bathe her, I feed her, I love her," she said.

"I do things a little differently from the way other mothers would, but I do them." Like 5nany working mothers, Miss Cotton retains a babysitter to take care of Yvonne Marie during the dav. Miss Cotton instructs classes in art appreciation, history of art. sculpture and related subjects. She holds two degrees from Oklahoma University. Her application for a second child has been approved.

"I want a little boy so much, but I'm going to take another girl because I think a boy really needs a father when he gets older," she added. "I couldn't guarantee some knight in shining armor is going to show up to be a father." A Stronger Body Can'Fight Cancer national authority on cancer says he hqjjiad success at finding ways' to strengthen the body's" naturald ef errs ers against cancer. Dr. George E. Moore, director of the Roswell Park Memorial Institute of Buffalo, N.Y., said'Wednesday he was able to grow large amounts of white cells taken from cancer patients.

He added that some skin cancers were eliminated with this new approach to cancer, called immunotherapy, showing that at least In some types of cancer it is possible to make the body's natural defenses attack malignant tumors. Dr.

Moore revealed his results at the Americ an Academy of General Practice meeting here. He said it would be several years, perhaps four or five before the techniques can be practically applied. fir. Moore is currently testine the safety of injecting large amounts of white cells vanced cancer. To date, the treatment has not been dangerous, but the" tumors haver been so large even large lymphocyte injections could not be expected to eliminate the cancer, he said.
