Breast Cancer Can Be Cured
If Diagnosed Treated Early
Do you know that 85 per cent
of breast cancer cases are
curable if diagnosed and treated
in the early stage of the
disease?
Are you surprised to know
that 95 per cent of all breast
cancers are first discovered by
women themselves?
These are figures released by
the American Cancer Society to
encourage women to do their
part in the early detection of
breast cancer. Breast self-ex-
amination at regular monthly
intervals has long been recogniz
ed as the best means of finding
breast cancer in its earliest
stage. Still physicians continue
to see patients who do not know
about proper breast self-ex
amination or practice tihis
simple and valuable technique
at regular monthly intervals.
It must be understood that
not every breast tissue change
(for example a lump or thicken
ing) is due to cancer. However
the woman who notes such a
Glhange by monthly breast self-
examination can and should
make an appointment with her
physician. The physician can
then determine whether the
change is due to cancer and
provide for the indicated treat
ment.
Learn the simplicity and value
of breast self-examination by
viewing the American Caancer
Society film "Breast Self-Ex
amination" and benefit from
an
following the film. You will have
opportunity to ask questions
during the discussion period.
All women of the Ft. Hood
area (military dependents
iv an a
women of the local communities
adjacent to Ft. Hood) are in
vited and encouraged to attend
one of the four sessions schedul
ed for Feb. 9 and 10 at 9 a.m.
and 1 p.m. The sessions will
be held at Theater 1 on Head

ST. CATHARINES Canada
(AP) —Two of the recommen
dations of the royal commission
on the status of women were la
belled respectively "stupid" and
"crazy" recently by the woman
chiefly responsible for the es

Laura Sabia of St. Catharines
called "stupid" the recommen
dation that mothers be paid $500
a year for each of their children
under 16. And she described as
"crazy" the suggestion that a
married man's tax deduction
for his dependent wife' be re
duced from the present $1000 to
$600.

According to Herbert E.
Brice manager of the Ft. Hood
Laundry Installations "the
trend indicates that the new
hanger service is being received
very well."
The hanger service is handled
in the payroll deduction plan
which permits the soldier to
have 26 items cleaned a week
with the cost ($5.40) deducted
from each month's pay check.
Coupled with the hanger
service is a two-day service
whereby the customer can hand

assignment to the division but

"With this service we can
