  • Page 10 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Our Health by J. M. Amberson, M.D. Cancer Nearly 300,000 people will die of cancer this year. Many of these deaths will "be needless for, though the cause of cancer remains largely a mystery, the disease itself is often curable. In fact, there arc an estimated 1,400,- 0 0 II p (■ o p l c alive in the United States today who once had cancer and who now are cured! Cancel' is characterized by the abnormal growth and spread of cells. It begins when a cell nucleus mysteriously changes. This altered cell then multiplies rapidly, until eventually the neighboring normal cells are choked and starved by the abnormal ones. The process ran he checked, however, by surgery, x-ray, and radioactive substances. Ami re cent discoveries in biochemical research have led to new treatments with drugs, chemicals and hormones Which have already shown encouraging results. At the iH'gintling of the disease, the altered cells remain "localized" and when it is discovered in this stage cancer is almost always curable. Bui even if it escapes detection and continues to the nc\t stage the invasion of other tissues it still can be treated successfully. Obviously, therefore, it is essential to stop cancer in its earliest stages, lie on guard for the seven danger signals: unusual bleeding or discharge; a lump or thickening in any part of the body; a sore that doesn't heal; change in bowel or bladder habits; hoarseness or cough; indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; change in color or size of a wart or mole. Any of these conditions may be a sign of cancer. If any one of these danger signals lasts longer than two weeks, see your family doctor. Better yet, get in the habit now of having a complete medical checkup at least once a year. If you wish FREE copies of recent Our Health Columns you may have missed, write to Dr. J. M.

Powers, a 5-10 1/2, 17(1 lb. junior from Lincolnton, N.C. starts at defensive right end. He intercepted a pass in the first quarter against Catawba that led i:o the Cat's only score. He has played right side strong man all season long and is one reason for the Cats effective defense against the running game. Sales is the Cat's defensive left safety at 5-11, 190 lbs; he is from ''.re ■ ird, N.C, Ho has played sound defensive ball all season and did an exceptional job against the surprise shotgun offense Catawba jpranr, against the Cats. Sales was kept busy all afternoon as Catawba attempted 56 passes.

This would show that the players feel that the offense was lacking in its usual sharpness. One reason was that they had their backs to the wall all afternoon. Let's hope they can operate on more promising turf against Emory and Henry.

Dogs who roam the neighborhood usually do so because they are ignored by their owners. They get liuivil and form the habit of roaming almut. And mire the habit is formed, it is hard to break. So don't let your dog begin. HOBB1K SA1 I'.r .outstanding back. am LON POWERS ...outstanding lineman.., «- C0DGILL MOTOR CO. Sylva, N. C. Your Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and Dodge Truck Dealer See The New 67's Complete Body Shop Homecoming Edition, 1966 WNC Ghost Stories From Page 8 At the head of Grassy Creek Falls there is an old house which also claims a bloody legend. Five men who had furs to trade with the Indians slept upstairs in the attic one night. Two of the men strangled the other e three with log chains and made off with their pelts. When the owners came back to occupy the house they were frightened out of their bed when nightfall came and log chains started rolling down the stairs. The man and woman started back up the stairs with the chains when they noticed blood all over the floor. Try as they might it would not wash out. Even after they would fasten the chains to the wall, at night the chains would come lumbering down the stairs. It wasn't long before the couple moved out and no one has been able to live in the house since. Similar occurences are connected with the old Holden House up above Spedwell. At night one can hear the moanings and groanings of an old man. How about you guys up on third Moore late at night when you're walking through the hall and everyone else is asleep, have you ever seen Cathey? A few years ago Cathey and another girl were staying in the dorm over Christmas holidays as they were from up north and couldn't get home due to all the s now. A man broke into the dor m and slit Cathey's throat. The other girl who was down on first floor heard a scratching at her door and was so terrified that she locked the door and moved the dresser against it to barricade it. The next morning when .she ventured out she found Cathey dead on the floor. Splinters were logged in her finger nails where she had scrated on the door. Have any of you men on third Buchanan ever wondered why the lights go off and on at night? An electrician was killed there and at night it is said that he comes back to avenge his death. Helen of the Royal Pines is also said to come back and avenge her death. Helen was once a beautiful woman with long Rapunsel hair. A jealous lover set her hair on fire and she was to have burned to death. Yet, if on a night with a full moon one takes the condemned narrow road up to her abode and calls out three times . . ."Helen, come forth," she will appear in a blue mist, and if one reaches out to touch her, his hand will burn. In Haywood County a frightening thing happened to a Florida couple who came up one winter to occupy their summer home. They lit the fire and went to bed. In the middle of the night the wife awoke the husband with her screaming. Rattlesnakes were all over the house. They had been hibernating in the chimney and when the fire was lit they thought it was summer and came out. Neither the wife nor the husband lived until morning. Others who have lived there and lit the fireplace have also died in the night. The cause is unknown as the house has long since been vacated of rattlesnakes. Spirits are said to be disgusted with the misuse of Kitchen's Cave in Sylva. At one time this was used as a passageway from Cherokee and several people can remember when the entrance was a good ten feet. Now it is even impossible to crawl in it. It is the scene of many deaths as a large room in the center is a vac- cuum and no one ever makes it out alive. This is the month of spirits and ghosts and don't be surprised if you have an encounter of your own.
