Now we won't make It without running at night." The gas station attendant grinned helpfully. "You won't have any trouble. Use your searchlight on the shoreline. On this end of Larramore there's a blinker." "I didn't plan to run at night," Kay explained.

"Isn't there a good anchorage this side of Larramore Island?" "Well, there's one or the attendant said. "But you can make Larramore without any trouble."

M. Primer, health unit director here. The letter explained the increase Justified a warning at this time against quacks and so-called cures. Dr. Primer said 35 deaths in Amarillo last year were caused by cancer.

"As elsewhere, cancer deaths have been increasing in Amarillo," he added. The letter from Dr. cox said: "While newspapers, as a rule, do not carry the type at advertising, there are many other ways for misinformation to reach the public. Undoubtedly there are persons who, being thus deloured from seeking proper advice, unnecessarily become cancer victims, while others not having cancer are fleeced out much money for a cure," Dr. Cox continued.

"There are but two ways of treating cancer. First, by surgery; and second, by the use of radium or X-ray. Treatment must be started early and In the hands of a competent surgeon. Surgery is relied upon to remove cancerous and Is used in nearly two-thirds of the cases. X-ray or radium Is used to advantage in one-third of the cases, frequently the two methods arc combined.

Self-medication, serums, colored lights, pastes, salves and diets are valueless. "The great bulwark against cancer Is early diagnosis.

'Court of Missing Heirs' Is Now Heard Over Station KGNC Monday Nights at 8:15 The Court of Missing Heirs, a new radio program, which is performing a new type of public service in attempting to help locate missing heirs to unclaimed estates, has found two potential helps as a result of Its broadcast and the distribution of several hundred thousand weekly bulletins which list additional unclaimed estates exclusive of those dramatized on the broadcast. Estates totaling $87,000 are listed in the first bulletin, and one of the cases is that of Michael Cuslck who died July 27, 1936.

Rather, the annual physical examination and an immediate reporting to your physician of any symptoms which may be suspected to be the beginning of cancer, should be relied upon. These symptoms are: any unusual bleeding from any body open- Ing, any lump In the breast or other part of the body; any persistent iore, particularly on the face or mouth, and chronic indigestion.

"Not only here but elsewhere the last three months of the year Invariably top all others in street and highway crashes ond it Is because of shorter days and soon drivers will be confronted with seasonal conditions to which they have not been accustomed through the long summer days." declared Captain Harper.

The traffic squad captain pointed out five deaths have been caused already this year in Amarillo by car accidents. "Any time Is a good time to check your equipment, right now is a better time and then perhaps you will feel safer when the first severe freeze comes along." added Captain Harper.
