How To Get There if the problems of the low income minority group* can be reduced to a word, it must be “jobs.” The combination of un derducation majority of the na tion’s Negro population from sharing in the national afflu ence. David Rockefeller, testifying before the U. S. Equal Employ meat Opportunity Commission the other day, offered a remedy: “Business can and must assist in every possible way," he said. “But the bask; drive, determina tion, and will to succeed must come from within the Negro himself.” 'A Rockefeller, president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, offers ■ • 1 ■ - - ■ -- | What is cancer? All of us are well aware that cancer is a serious health prob lem, one of the major killers. But how many of us really know what •cancer is? A pamphlet of the American Medical Association explains that •during the process of cell division —the basis of normal body growth and repair—cells become differ entiated into the specific kinds needed for each organ or body . function. Each kind of cell divides into its own kind, equipped to do the job it was designed to do. Under certain conditions not yet com pletely understood, some cells do not differentiate in this way. They multiply in irregular and disor derly fashion and compete with normal cells for nutrition and space. These cell masses are called tumors. Tumors that remain local ized are benign tumors and may not be troublesome unless they mechanically interfere with some ■body function. Tumors that grow rapidly and destroy tissue arc known as malignant tumors. These are called cancers. Cancers may affect any part of the human body. They also attack animals and even plants. In man (and molt animals) the unrestrained growth of cancer ceils will infiltrate vital organs and destroy them if not checked. Cancers spread by infiltrating ad jacent tissue, by traveling through the circulatory system and lym phatic system, or by any combi nation of these. The cause of cancer in man is not known. If treated promptly and properly, some cancers are highly curable. One-third of all cancers in the United States are being cured today. Cancers are most readily curable before they have spread from their original locations. To be cured, they must be found early. More than 300,000 persons will die of cancer in this country this year. About one-third of these might have been saved through earlier detection and treatment. 121867 HEALTH and SAFETY TIPS from the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION 535 N. DEARBORN STREET CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60610 Do Your Share: Help Stop Air Pollution The problem of air pollution has been much in the news in recent years. For people who live in metro politan areas—which now means most of us-air pollution becomes more apparent all the time. The American Medical Association points out that there's little doubt that pollutants in the air aren't good for us. Just how serious a health problem is air pollution is a question still being studied. It has been associated with a number of various physical ills. We read about air pollution, but it seldom occurs to us that we can do something about it. Isn’t air pollution merely a matter for the factory with the belching : smokestack, or the apartment building with a smoky incinerator? Actually, there are some things we all can do to reduce air pollution: • Make it a point to know air pollution dangers, and seek from elected representatives legis lation to control these hazards.' • An important source of air pollution is the exhaust pipe on the family apto. Keep the engine in good order. Have the exhaust system inspected regularly. This will not only reduce air pollution, it also will save money on gasoline. • Keep your home furnace in good working order. Have it checked annually, both for your safety and for the sake of the community. • Leaves, trash and rubbish should not be burned in metro politan areas. Arrange for the pro mamr per agency to haul them away to a proper disposal point. Prevention of air pollution is a matter that must be met by the whole community. Proper laws are required where voluntary actions are inadequate. Tight enforcement of these laws is essential. We can anticipate that air pollution will continue to be much in the news in the yean ahead. The problem will be solved much sooner if all of us become aware that it is serious, and that all of us are involved' in its ultimate solution. 8-68 lot in society.

Renew Your Subscription TEATIME TREATS When neighbors drop over mid-morning or mid-afternoon, there’s no nicer way to say welcome than with a cup of steaming hot tea. If you don’t want to use your teapot for making just a couple of cups, make the tea right in the cups, using teabags. And to solve the problem of what to do with the used teabags, which just don’t look very attractive reposing on the side of the saucer, set .a covered sugar bowl on the table or one of those little covered nee bowls sold in Japanese gift shops. They come in white china or bright colored enamelware and are attractive as well as practi cal for the purpose. Incidentally when making tea in a cup, do be sure to let the tea brew for at least 3 minutes. And it’s a good idea to convert the cup into a temporary teapot by placing the saucer over the cup during the brewing period. It helps to keep the tea piping hot and will discourage would-be teabag dunkers. Teabag dunk ing only colors the water—and cools it off, too. To serve with tea, Orange Tea Muffins are delightful ORANGE TEA MUFFINS (Makes 12 muffins) 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons double actir' baking powder hi teaspoon salt hi cup sugar X egg, beaten 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter, melted 2 teaspoons grated orange rind Sift together into 2-quart mixing bowl the flour, baking powder, salt ana sugar; make a well in this mixture. Combine egg, milk, melted butter and orange rind; turn into dry mixture. Stir only enough to moisten well. (Do not beat until smooth.) Divide into 12 greased 2% inch muffin tins. Bake in preheated hot oven (400° *!•). 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops are golden and sides are shrinking from pan. Serve immediately. JARMAN FUNERAL HOME ...
