ISRAEL FIGHTS CANCER

A few weeks ago Israel 'in-
augurated a free clinic for the
diagnosis of c an c e r at the
Strauss Health Center in Tel
Aviv . . . The project is spon-
sored jointly by the Israel Can-
cer Society and the Department
for Preventive Medicine of the
Tel Aviv Municipality ... Actu-
ally this clinic is not the first
of its kind in Israel, for, five
years ago the society established
a clinic for detection of breast
cancer in Haifa . • . When we
read the news item we became
interested in cancer statistics in
Israel and found several rather
interesting figures • • . During
1955 nearly 1500 Israelis died
of cancer . . . This figure, ac-
cording to Prof. I. Berenblum,
world r en o w n e d cancer re-
searcher of the W -sizmann Insti-
tute, is about as high, 'percent-
age wise, that in other coun-
tries . . . In other words, says
Prof. Berenblum, the frequency.
of. cancer is practically the same
all over the world . . . The dif-
ference in the statistics is due
to the varying medical knowl-
edge in the community.
• Berenblum mE.de an in-
teresting point . ... He states
that the organs struck by can-
cer do differ in different peo-
•
_ ples . . . And, there is also a
possibility that some people in
certain geographic spots are to
a great extent immune . . .
Thus, it would appear that there
is little incidence of cancer
among the Yeminite community,
and in general the 0 .iental com-
munities seem to :row evidence

of cancer only when they come
in contact with western com-
munities . . . However, Dr. Ber-
enblum cautioned, it may be
that it is only when they come
into such contact that there is
a greater possibility of detect-
ing the disease.
Israel is recognized today as
contributing solidly in experi-
mental research on cancer • • .
Israel's Cancer Research centers
are at the Weizmann Institute
of Science and the Hebrew Uni-
versity ... Fourteen Israeli sci-
entists are busy in their labora-
tories working on causation and
cures for cancer . . Dr. Beren-
blum, who heads the Depart-
ment of Experimental Biology
at the Weizmann. Institute is
generally acknowledged as one
of the world's five outstanding
authorities on cancer ... Born
in Russia, he was for years in
charge of the research center
for the British Cancer Campaign
. . . Seven years. ago, on the in-
sistence of the late Dr. Weiz-
mann, he settled in Rehovoth
and since then has been doing
-research at the Weizmann In-
stitute • • . Next month a semi-
nar on cancer problems for phy-
sicians will be held under the
sponsorship of the Hebrew Uni-
versity - Hadassah Medical
School and the Rambam Hospi-
tal of Haifa and the Israeli Can-
cer Society . . . Israel in , the
midst of a great political and
economic crisis, is devoting time,
energy and talent t_o scientific
research which may be of bene-
fit to all mankind.

Hydrate q.4.h. (every four
hours) t.p.r. (temperature, pulse

din tablets, bed rest, vitamins,

above medications and rising
fever is none other than your
well known and well liked
columnist Danny Raskin. . .

shouldering the gun and shoot-
ing this week's news to you ..

The phone rang at Sinai Hos-
pital the other ayem. and a
voice demanded a connection
with the nurse in charge of the
seventh floor (Gold Coast).
"I'm calling to find out about
Jack Markowitz," this nurse
was told when she picked up
the receiver. "How's he pro-
gressing?" "Just fine," said the
nurse. "And when will he' be
allowed to go home?" the voice
continued. "Saturday morning,"
said the nurse, "and may I ask
who this is calling?" "You
may," said the voice, with a
chuckle. "I'm Jack Markowitz.
Nobody would tell me a damn
thing around here!"

It looks like V.P. (Virus
Pneumonia) has' lost the battle
with D.R. only because Danny
took heed- of the seriousness of
the infection and followed the
Doctor's orders by placing his
health first on the batting order
followed by his business activi-
ties , . • Danny will be back
at the good old typewriter for
his column next Friday.
