O' '•'••• I —and one of the reasons why IN THfc past pew years, our knowl edge of the nature of cancer, and how to treat it, has grown encour agingly. Patients, who would have been considered hopeless cases even five yean ago, today are being completely cured. And even those who apply for treatment too late can usually live longer — and less painfully —because of modern palliative treatment. All the same, there have been defeats as well as victories. We do not know —to take a single ex ample —why so many more men are now dying from cancer of the lung. In 1933—just twenty years ago —lung cancer killed 2,252 men; in 1953, some 18,500. That's a great increase—which even our expanded population, and other known factors, can’t possibly ac count for in full.

C„ THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1954. more of the answers to cancers Not only because cancer is an immensely complex problem: dif ficult to diagnose, and difficult to treat; challenging to the best re search minds. All that is true enough. But there is another reason: w* Jo net have enough money. Last year your gifts to the American Cancer Society were more generous than ever before. But they were not enough. You gave the Society almoet twenty millions to fight a disease that —at present death rates will kill twenty-three million liv ing Americans. Less than one dollar for each American destined to die from cancer. Much more is needed for r-srarch, for education, for serv ice to patients.

A small boy had the habit of com ing to the dinner table with a dirty face. His mother, repeatedly, sent him back to wash before he was per mitted to eat with the rest of the fam ily. One evening, nearly losing her patience, his mother asked. “James, why do you continue to come to the table without washing? You know I always send you back.” “Well,” said her son, “One time you forgot.” —o — That which we see in this small boy is found in the grown-up. The desire to resist force and authority is a part of all of us. When it is impossible to overcome authority, we try trickery. Trickery or out-right revolt, keep the chains of authority rattling constant ly. There is an answer to this problem. It is found in education. When a man learns that it is best for him and those he loves that he act in a certain man- j ner, he will. But he acts because he ] wants to, not because authority de iULpi 100 PROOF LIQUEUR SOUTHERN COMFORT CORP. I ST.
