Norman Ervin of the Family Clinic li ier. Ing at tbe resource physician for the articles. By TINA B. II A I IN News Editor So the doctor has delivered the feared verdict: a tumor has been discovered. Be concerned sure, but don't give up hope.

A tumor, Dr. Norman Ervin explained, is a mass but not necessarily a cancerous mass. Tumors or masses are discovered through several methods. Routine physical examinations, chemical and X-ray Nagging cough or hoarseness. Whenever a tumor is discovered.

Dr. Ervin said a tissue diagnosis has to be conducted to determine what the abnormality is. When a doctor confirms that a patient has a tumor, it does not necessarily indicate that surgery is needed. Different tumors require different therapy. That's where the confusion arises, Dr.

Ervin said. An individual diagnosed with a tumor may know of another person who was given different treatment. There are different types of tumors found even in the same organ. If determined cancerous from tissue tests, some tumors depending on the type can simply be blocking any function of the body or that it is not going to grow, there is no need fur it to be removed. However, even if the tumor is benign sometimes it may block another body function, "It may be deadly just from being there." Dr.

Ervin said. One example would be if a benign tumor was putting pressure on a part of the brain. So what if the tumor is malignant and is surgically removed, what next? Dr. Ervin said fairly frequently the patient still has to have other therapy depending on the tissue type, location and size of the tumor. Metastic disease has to considered and also the lymph node involvement.

See CANCER, page 7A of a polyp in his colon was the only therapy required. Early detection of the cancer prevented the need for drug therapy. If determined benign or not cancerous from tissue tests, a physician may recommend that a tumor not be removed. If it is determined that the tumor is not handled through surgery. Others, such as blood leukemia and one type found in the lungs, may not be treated at all through surgery.

Some types of tumors respond only through chemical or X-ray therapy.

A property bond was put up, but law officers discovered on Friday through records filed in the chancery clerk's office that there was debt against some of the property owned by signers of the bond. According to the Marion County District Attorney's office, property used for a bond has to be free of liens in order that the state would be the first creditor if the requirements of the bond were not fulfilled. Sheriff Webbie McKenzie, who was out of the state picking up a prisoner at the time the bond was posted, said when he returned to the county he "didn't believe there was enough security there (with the property)." "On that big of bond I just wanted some more people on it," the sheriff related. Although Sheriff McKenzie declined to give names, he said he called the defendant's legal counsel Thomas McNeese to get additional people to sign the bond.

The informant had recognized the children from information printed on the side of a milk carton. After the Sheriffs Office had contacted DeVivo, she flew down from New York on Tuesday, July 16, with custody papers and a New York warrant for Bur-rell's arrest. County attorney Forrest Dantio and Sheriff Webbie McKenzie reviewed the papers and found them in order, and the children were released to the custody of their mother on Tuesday afternoon. DeVivo and the children flew back to New York the same day. Burrell was not arrested, since the New York warrant was an arrest for a misdemeanor and was not applicable in Mississippi.

Beverly Goodlia, director of Childfind, Inc. in Missouri, said that a great majority of cases of child abductions are "parental abductions." These are cases in which a parent who has not received custody of a child "kidnaps" the child. Goodlin said that the parent from whom tbe child was abducted often contacts authorities who designate the child as Children returned to mother in N.Y.

Honoring past. While bringing bigger rodeo here The Marion County Sheriffs Office has recently helped resolve a situation involving a Columbia man and his two children which he had abducted from his former wife in New York. According to the sheriffs office.

Special Deputy Ed Bals was first alerted to the situation by an anonymous informant who had noticed that a child sbe had seen in her neighborhood fitted a description of a child she had seen'in an advertisement concerning missing children. Bals informed Chief Deputy William McNeese of the situation. McNeese, Bals and Deputy Thomas Echols picked up the children on Sunday, July 13 and contacted their mother, Linda DeVivo of Brooklyn, N.Y. The children were then released into the custody of their father, Freddie Burrell of Columbia. According to Deputy Echols, Burrell had apparently taken the children from New York in July of last year after he and DeVivo were divorced.

DeVivo, who had received custody of the children in a court hearing in New York, reported the children as missing and contacted Childfind, a national organization for locating and returning missing children. According to Childfind's Missouri director, Beverly Herring said that the parade would possibly be held in downtown Columbia and that there would be a trail ride afterwards which would be open to all riders. Herring also said that specialty acts and an authentic rodeo brass band would be featured. Specialty acts include Capt. E.V.

Foy, a trick rider from Sweeney, Texas whose act includes jumping horses through a ring of fire. Herring said that this year's rodeo will be held in honor of Earl Bascom, who staged Columbia's first rodeo in 1935. Bascom is known throughout the United States and Canada as a rodeo rider, rodeo producer, and as the inventor of several innovations in bullriding equipment. Bascom is also known as a Western artist, Herring said, and has produced bronze sculptures which have been placed in museums throughout the U.S. Bascom has been invited by the MCCA to participate as an honorary guest in this year's rodeo, and according to Herring, this year's rodeo will be dedicated to him.

Bascom, according to his Marion County Cattlemen's Association (MCCA) member Moley Herring said that this year's 50th anniversary MCCA rodeo will be "an event that won't just be for Marion County, but a statewide attraction." Herring said that the rodeo, which will be held Aug. 2-3 at the Marion County Fairgrounds on Highway 13, will feature events such as calf roping, bareback riding, team roping, bull racing, mule racing, and bulldogging. Also featured at the rodeo, Herring said, will be the first wild cow saddling event ever held in the state of Mississippi. Herring said that the wild cow saddling event would involve roping a wild cow, holding it, putting a saddle on it, and riding it across a finish line. According to Herring, this event would be held both nights of the rodeo.

Edward Kendrick, president of the MCCA, also said that there would be a pig scramble for children six and under, and a calf scramble for children from six to twelve. According to Kendrick, a rodeo parade is planned for Saturday, Aug. 3 at 9 a.m..
