Society Official Urges Mobile Cancer Testing By William C. Patrick Tribune Medical Editor Use of mobile units to obtain Pap smear tests of women to detect early cervical cancer was advocated Tuesday by Virginia Graham of New Yoik. national crusade chairman of the American Cancer Society. She came Here to attend a volunteer eonterence of the Utah Division. ACS, Monday and Tuesday at Hotel Utah.

Miss Graham, in private life Mrs. Harry Guttenberg, is herself a cured cancer patient, having suffered uterine cancer 17 years ago. In one capacity or another she has been associated with the cancer society since then, and is now touring the country, preaching the doctrine of early diagnosis and treatment at regular intervals and have the test made. "The greatest obstacle, she declared, is the feeling of false modesty on the part of women, it is necessary to break down the old taboos so that women will seek these tests. It would greatly facilitate the effort.

Miss Graham said, if there were mobile units that could take the tests to the women, because many of them are not well enough motivated to seek a doctor, while others are prevented from obtaining medical help because of domestic duties. More and more services ol various kinds are being taken to the people, instead of the people having to seek them, she added. Miss Graham praised the women volunteers of the American Cancer Society, declaring they are going to help us find a cure for cancer. In its early stages most cases of cancer can be cured by surgery and tadiation (a few by chemicals), and Miss Graham expressed her confidence that a cute for the late disease will be found. "I am going to live to see the Anieii-can Cancer Society go out of business, she told a luncheon audience.

Twenty-three-vear volunteer service pins were presented to Mrs. Flora Brim and Mrs. Sadie Patience. Mrs. Audrin retiring as service director for the UtaF Divison, received a silver tray.

And, I'll admit, progress can be quite convenient. But with every automated advance, there is a loss in personal relationship with other people. Im talking about the fast-disappearing clan of elevator operators.

At oqe time, every large office building and hotel in Salt Lake City had a crew of friendly elevator operators. NOW, THE elevatois are operated by push-buttons. for one, kind of miss these operators. They became symbols of fiiendsbip for their buildings. They always had a cheery good morning for everyone at the start of the day and a smile when the days work was through.

Many buildings, and most of the hotels, had pretty young girls to greet the elevator passengers. They wore smart uniforms and brightened up the elevator cars with their smiles. Modern-day elevators are cold, drab, efficient, unfriendly things no wr.imth, no heartbeat, no friendly smile. Just one more price we pay for progress. TODAYS VALENTINE An extra special double Valentine today to two 16-year-old Salt Lake girls who did something extra kind the other day.

They are Robin Spiker and Patti Hooper. Both are students at Olympus High School, and both are 1 unteer workers at the Veterans Hospital. While driving to the hospital the other afternoon, the two girls noticed a cat on the highway that had been run ove: The animal was in great pain. They stopped the car, gently placed the cat in the seat and scouted up a nearby veterinarian. Sad to say, nothing could be done for the suffering animal.

So the girls paid tire vet $3 to have it put to sleep" and out of its misery. A fine, humanity! ian thing to do and a Valentine to you. Patti and Robin.

That's a lot, isnt it," replied the soft-spoken princess.

TALKING TO MYSELF: I have always firmly believed that married women are tetter looking than single women.

(At least, most of em) And I've always considered it quite unfair (and, maybe even unconstitutional) that most beauty contests are limited to single-girl participation.
