PAGE 14 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JULY 13. 1977 CANCER Answerjine Men Cancer Society f L<Editor's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by t{ie American Cancer society, S cooperation with the cHenry County Unit, Eustice &lein, president, to help yve xpur life from cancer) - 21 T -i A high school student writes: have been very interested to '0arn about the body's powerful immune system in my biology ^jass. Why doesn't the system Work against cancer?" ^ANSWERline: It does, but Syhy it is not more successful is a question being attacked by a sjnall army of cancer researchers. Many scientists sjxongly suspect that in the cancer patient the immune system has either been fooled into hot recognizing a tumor as foreign, and therefore Something to be destroyed, or the immune system itself is f icient. It has been observed t cancer incidence can go up to 100 times normal when tients with^Lother health obleihs such \. as those iving kidney transplants given immunosuppressive ugs to prevent rejection of ie transplant. Since cancer is general term for more than lt)0 different diseases, the pattern of immunologic deficiency varies in patients with different forms of the disease. Medical scientists have tried various methods with different levels of success to boost the immune system to fight cancer. In general this approach works best when used in combination with other forms of therapy such as chemotherapy- There are many ways of manipulating the immune system- everything from introducing tubercular bacterial vaccines into cancer patients or even using another patient's im­ munity. This is a very exciting area of both basic research and clinical trials. A woman writes: ^'My elderly uncle is hospitalized in another state after colon-rectal surgery. I have to make all kinds of arrangements for him when he is discharged. But, since I don't know his com­ munity, I am really at a loss to know how to prepare him for his convalescence. What should I do?". ANSWERline: Check with the American Cancer society unit in your uncle's home community for a briefing on all the different local agencies and governmental bodies that might be able to assist your uncle. The ACS can also supply you with sickroom equipment on a free loan basis and tell you about homemaker services. If your uncle needs further out­ patient treatment, an ACS volunteer chauffeur can also be arrange .̂ Also, the ACS may have special volunteers-people who have alsd had surgery for colon-recta) cancer-who might be able to give your uncle practical advice and much encouragement. These volunteers, however, only work with patients on physician approval. A secretary explains: "I have recently read accounts of a brassiere that a woman can wear to help her find breast cancer. Is this true?" ANSWERline: A thermal or heat pattern sensing brassiere has been developed that may be-but has not been proved- useful as a device for detection of possible breast cancer. It is in the testing stage, and is primarily important as a way of reminding women to do breast self-examination each month. Use of the brassiere depends on very exact in­ structions because the wearer must compare the pattern that shows up on the brassiere when she wears it with a photograph of herself wearing it at the time she is given the brassiere by her physician. It's hard to achieve success and keep so- S St. Petersburg Museum called friends from jealous at the same (By Father William 0. Hanner, Episcopal vicar, retired. Father Hanner resided in McHenry for several years before moving to Florida last year.) x There are other sides to St. Pete's. One I have been meaning to write about all year is the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts. You can become a member just as you can be a member of the Chicago Art institute or of the. Field museum. We enjoyed both these cultural spots in Chicago and joined the museum here the first month we were at Suncoast Manor. The buildings for the museum are at 255 Beach drive North. The whole is a stately structure of stone. It is not huge but it is far more than one would expect in a efty of 250,000. Of course it draws on nearby communities. There are fine oils and watercolors. There are old, middle aged, and modern pictures. There is a spendid medium sized library specializing, as you wou)d suppose, in art. There is a well developed garden, nipped by the winter frost. As you might expect, Rose has already signed up to help keep the garden. It will have a stage of comeback after last winter. I help get mailings out. You get a lot of experience with mailings when you run a parish church. We went to the Christmas party last Christmas ̂ It was replete with different examples of how to decorate Christmas trees,houses and help give alia festive quality. There is a large hall with stage that can be dining room, lecture hall or theater. Each fall the museum goes commercial for a bit. It must. Museums are expensive to keep up, just ask E. Leland Webber of the Field museum jbx Chicago or anyone on the board of the Art institute there: They have a Museum Mart. Last year the mart raised just short Of $3 ,̂000 for upkeep of the museum. There were items of every sort in a well run, major, high grade, lowered price sale. Also, there are special exhibits. Not King Tut as in Chicago, but we 9id have a good sized display of Faberge Work, including some of the Easter eggs he did for the Czars of Russia long ago. The czars gave these eggs as Easter presents, to family or favorites. Isn't it strange that wherever you go you can find .things funny, rare, odd, beautiful, amusing, entertaining and worth your time and the acquiring of more knowledge to appreciate. In the midst of the present summer, we are suffering from lack of rain. Everyone in Florida has had plenty of water except the Suncoast. it gets warm during the, day, what with no rain and all. We go often to the Florida State league baseball games. This league is a long way from the big leagues, but we have fun and it is a little cooler. The field where the teams play (A1 Lang field) is brand new and flossy, but it is right on the waters of Tampa bay. Last night as St. Pete's and Lakeland played, a flock of thirty sea gulls invaded the outfield. They were un­ disturbed by the play around them. When a hall was hit to the outfield they took off, wheeling and swooping about. I will .never figure out how those players could keep the ball in view, in focus, and identified amidst those swiriihg birds. But they did, and not a misplay nor error resulted. The first four months of a year, this area has a normal nine inches of rain. This year had less than one Inch. I sup­ pose the grassy green of the ball field was just too inviting for gulls of the sea. And the umpiring-Oh the umpiring! Not that I'd do any better, but how can you call a ball fairthat is a foot foul. Also, how can you rule a home run when' the ball bounces back off the wall and is thrown to the infield while the hitter is still circling the bases. But they make it stick. The umps look to Highway Fatalities On Increase In Area The superintendent of Illinois state police, Lynn E. Baird, has announced the latest figures which indicate that during the month of June, 175 persons died from injuries sustained from be about twenty-two. There are two to a game, one who covers home and one who covers everything else. They never give instantaneous decisions- they think it over a second or two first. In Japan, umpires are treated with great respect. The players bow to them. This custom has never caught on in the American scene. They sell a program, at each game. \ It has numbers for special prizes; a tire, two dinners, a Caribbean tour for two, a weeks motel on the beach. If you get a foul ball and return it you get an $ld ball, a ticket for two games and a dollar - but the fans don't return them. One manager told me they use four dozen bdls a game and balls are $25 a dozen. McHeriry Highlights WM Shop Spiess at Crystal Point Mall Mon. Fri. 10 til 9. Sat. til 5:30. Sunday 12-5.

At the end of the year, Lou Witaker, P.E. teacher, conducted a survey to find out how the students viewed this change. Mrs. Whitaker polled all the students involved and found these results. 96 percent of all students feel co-ed classes have made the units better. When asked to rate the classes on a scale from poor to excellent, 73 percent of the boys and 76 percent of the girls rated them good to excellent. As many as 63 percent girls and 55 percent boys felt classes should all be co-ed, offered to both sexes. With Co-Ed P.E. classes it is possible for girls and boys to receive instruction from both men and women teachers. Locker room facilities, however, still remain separate. Seventy-one percent of the students indicated a great deal of satisfaction with the wide choice of course selections. Students are able to choose among several different physical education activities every four and one-half weeks. Available activities include the following: swimming, life saving, water polo, diving, flag football, handball, tennis, badminton, flickerball, golf, basketball, Softball, social dance, folk dance, square dance, creative dance, rollerskating, gymnastics, archery, and camp craft. » A part of . the 1972 Educational amendments tells public schools that a number of changes must take place in their operations to insure equal opportunities for both sexes. Our P.E. program is one such example of this and is now offered on a co-ed basis. Reactions of students, as indicated by this survey have been very positive and indicate the great success of this new program. Lou Whitaker, P.E. teacher who conducted this survey, indicated her delight and excitement with the results and stated, "The administration, faculty, and kids were very pleased with the success of the program, especially since this was its first year." traffic accidents on Illinois highways. A breakdown of the counties shows that in June of last year, Lake county had four fatalities; McHenry county had one fatality; DuPage county had six; Kane county had nine and DeKalb county had one. For June of this year, Lake county had eight fatalities; McHenry county had three; DuPage, eight; Kane, ten and DiKalb county, none. Nine hundred eighty six persons have been killed in the entire state since Jan. 1 of this year. There were 952 persons killed during the same period last year, showing an increase of twenty four. District 2, which covers Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, and Kane and DuPage counties, reports 150 persons have been killed in these counties .since Jan. l of this year. There were 123 persons killed during the same period last year, showing an increase of twenty-seven fatalities this year over last year's figure in the five-county area. _ The Illinois state police reminds the motoring public that whenever they are chiving on the expressways and want to exit, move to the proper lane well in advance. Do not dash across lanes at the last minute. If ah exit is missed do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the next exit. ' I V.A. NEWS i If you're a veteran going to, school full-time under the GI bill and you receive an allowance for at least one dependent, you've got lots of company. The Veterans administration has released figures that show two out of three veterans training under the GI Bill are in a family way, so to speak. The average for. part-time college students is even higher - 84 per cent have one or more dependents. Part-timers among students at schools below college level run neck and neck on the dependency scorecard and 70 per cent of full-time veteran college students have at least one d e p e n d e n t . , • • r , h i ' i t t i O VA calculates that full-time GI Bill training predominates among veterans going to school, with 54 per cent of all trainees in that status when the latest count was taken in November of last year. If you eliminate on-the-job training and cooperative training students, who don't train in classrooms, and those taking correspondence and flight training - which are part- time courses - the percentage of full-time students on GI Bill . rolls rises to 60.7 per cent - 58.6 per cent of the college students and almost three-quarters of the non-college students. Going back in time, a total of 56 per cent of all veterans who have been trained under the so- called post Korean conflict GI Bill have had one or more dependents. This compares to 54 per cent of both the World War II GI Bill trainees and the Korean conflict veterans who " took advantage of the schooling. State Lottery Gov. Thompson recently named Richard W.
