Bastrop County
Leads District
In Cancer Deaths
A meeting of District seven,
of the American Cancer Society
of Texas, was held in Taylor on
Tuesday, September 20, with
Mrs. L. J. Linenberger, Mrs.
Otto (]est. Mrs. J. R. Pfeiffer
Sr., Mrs. H. H. Litton and Mrs.
J. G. Bryson of Bastrop attend-
ing.
District seven consists of
10 counties, including Bastrop,
Lee, Caldwell. Hays, Travis,
Williamson, Blanco, Llano, Bur-
net and Lampasas.
Cancer deaths listed in the
counties last year are as fol-
lows: Bastrop, 38; Lee, 14; Cald
well, 23, Hays, 19; Travis, lf>8;
Williamson, 47; Blanco, 9; Llano,
! : Burnett, 15; Lampasas, 13. It
was pointed out that Bastrop co-
unty has the highest percentage
of cancer deaths in the district,
according to population.
Statistics show that 9,144 Tex-
ans died of cancer last year. Out
of this number 3,000 lives could
have been spared, had the seven
danger signals of cancer been
known and heeded.
Among the services that can
be offered by a permanent co-
unty cancer organization, such
a.s a number of the counties in
the district maintain, are dres-
sings, transportation, home visit-
ing and loan closets. The loan
closet being the most valuable
perhaps, at it contains all items
that are necessary for car-
ing for a patient that the home
ordinarily does not have. Bastrop
County so far does not have
a permanent organization, but
renders service through annual
cancer drives and by furnishing
dressings made by several local
clubs and societies, which are
available to patients through
their physician.
Needless to say. a county in a
district leading in the number
of cancer deaths as Bastrop Co-
j unty is, would be at an advan-
! tage if a permanent organizat-
| ion were maintained through
, which more service could be
1 rendered to cancer victims.
