If Tumor Occurs in The Nose

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WE do not usually think of tumors in connection with the nose and yet. they may arise here, just as in other parts of the body. As elsewhere, they may l»e cancerous or benign, that is not deadly. They may arise from blood vessels, from cartilage or from lx>ne. Some are in the nature of a cyst, that is. a membranous sac filled with water. Many of these tumors may be present for some time before they cause any symptoms. However, sooner or later they will cause blocking of the nasal passages with, at times, bleeding and some deformity of the nose. The tumor may grow so that it fills up both sides of the nose and even-extend into the sinuses or afr spaces connected with the nose. Deciding on Treatment Before deciding upon the treatment to be used when such a tumor is present the doctor will usually remove a small piece of it and examine it under the microscope to determine what sort of growth it is. The treatment also will depend on the sise, the location of the tumor and the age and general condition of the patient. A tumor that can be easily reached and which is small Is easily removed, merely by cutting it off and using the electric cur rent to cauterise the place where the tumor was attached- A large

the light against the dread desease. o o The farmers are putting in real licks these days. Spring plowing Is underway and sewing of oats progresses as weather permit. Another great crop is in the making and uew wealth is beI Ing produced from the soil. Persons who live in great cities surely must miss the thrill of driving along a quiet country road and seeing first hand the awakening of new life on God's soil. Business men should cease hoping to be as free from government regulation as they were In (he 1330'5. This statement comes from as surprising a source as the National Association of Manufacturers, whose Economic Principles Commission has just pule lished a two-volume book, "The American Individual Enterprise System." Another remark for nil to take to heart is the book's conclusion that free enterprise will not continue unicss the uuempioyincut problem is solved. A local citizen interested in the 4 11 clubs and the youths who comprise the organisations broaches ; the thought that it would be a ; splendid jesture for the community to provide a permanent home for the club's activities. He advances the idea that a building, erected on a site near Decatur, could Ire used for the 4-H club fairs and otherwise developed into a worthwhile project. 4-H work is important to every community, in that it trains the home-makers and farmers of tomorrow. Any step ' taken in that direction should i reap good dividends for the county I that provides the facilities for expansion and enlargement of the young farmer's interest in agriculi turul pursuits. Time was. when gold, silver or I other natural deposits were discovered in a land, that rejoicings were in order. One would expect Australia, then, to be happy over the finding in Its Flinders Mountains of "more than 1.000 tons of uranium," most precious of natural substances. And Australia is trying to put the bpst possible face on her wealth. The Adelaide Advertiser says the country's scientists will be developing the uranium within five or ten years, for atomic energy uses that will be directed toward peaceful purposes. But Australia knows these new underground riches bring with them a staggering responsibility. They might offer a temptation to try the quick road to conquest through the making and use of atomic bombs against other nations, if the wrong bands get control.

. tumor also may Im- removed by j , electrocoagulation, that is, de- , stroyed with the electric current. One of the more serious types of tumors is known as a fibroma and is made up of connective tissue like scar tissue. Buch a growth may form quite a large mass not only in the nose but also in the upper part of the throat. Another Type Another type of tumor is known an a hemangioma and is made np of blood vessels. These tumors may affect either the inside or outslA- of the nose. They often produne a great deal of bleeding and blocking of the nasal passages. Most of the cancerous-like tumors which occur In the nose extend from the sinuses or from the upper part of the throat. However, now and then one of these growths may start in the nose itself. Many such tumors can be easily eliminated if they are dircover’d early and treated pro;..ptly. The treatment consists either in exposure to X-ray or the use of e lee t roc< >ag u lat lon. There are. of course, other causes of blocking of the nasal passages besides tumors. Hence, when this symptom develops It is important that a careful study be made at once by a nose and throat specialist to determine the cause of the trouble. The mere thought that canter can occur in thia locattoa should pregenl aay delay.

| Points To Increase In 6. E. Business Wilson In Report At Annual Meeting Schenectady. N. Y.. April 16 — .The Geneal Electric company’s performance in the first quarter of 1947 is evidence of the "dynamic pattern for the year.” president Charles E. Wilson told stockholders at the annual meeting here Tuesday. The G. E. president cited examples of many products made and delivered in tremendously gieater volume than in a comparable prewar quarter. Mr. Witaon also revealed that the company's efforts to maintain "the lowest possible prices" has resulted in an average selling price of ail its products which is today only 28 percent gieater than in 1940. compared with a general increase of all manufactured product* of about 75 percent during the same period In January and February, Mr. WHson said, billings of the company's largest manufacturing department were two and three-quar-ters limes those for the same two months in 1940. Turbine sales for these two months were more than two times for the same period in 1940. and the figure for locomotives and other transportation equipment is nearly three limes as large. Mr Wilson emphasized that the figures reflected products actually made and delivered. Mr. Wilson also compared eales billed for a number of home appliances in the first quarter of 1947 with the same three months In 1940 as follows: Radio and television receivers, an increase of 3o<i percent; home laundry equipment. an increase of 180 percent: electric clocks, 550 percent higher; heating devices and small appliances, 590 percent higher; vacuum cleaners, an increase of 300 percent; electric ranges, 80 percent higher; electric water heaters, 120 percent higher; cord sets, 330 percent higher; construction materials such as wire, switches and relater devices, an increase of 150 ! percent. "Only in refrigerators do we lack a few percentage points of i equalling the prewar figure, directly due to the steel shortage," Mr. ' Wilson said. "One very real factor that should add considerably to the foregoing figures." h«- added "is the slowly I accelerating rate of domestic construction. IJtterally millions of customers for the home products of your company cannot buy what they want until they nave a place to put it." Continuing shortages of materials are among the "highly visible obstacles” in the road ahead, Mr. Wilson said. He pointed out that copper and steel “will be available in the quanities we need during the next several months.” Discussing the company's labor relations. Mr- Wilson said: "when prepared these comments, we were engaged in our regular negotiations with the unions representing our employes, and therefore, on this point, i would only remind you that as a by-product of our traditional policy of paying equal or better wages on the average for a given classification of work in any community in which we have a plant, we necessarily become subject to a national wage pattern." , o — 30 Japanese Die In Railroad Fire Tokyo, Apr. 13—(UP>—Mote than 30 Japanese were killed today when the railway coach In which they were riding caught tire in a tunnel between Osaka and Nara, the newspaper Maiakhi reported. , ...

World Flight ! Record Set By Bomber Plane Historic Flight Is Ended, New Record Set By Reynolds New York. April 16. —(UP I — Milton Reynolds, who rode around the world sitting backwards In his converted bomber, will go to Washington today with the other two crew members of his globegirdling bombshell to receive the congratulations of President Truman for his record-breaking flight nt 78 hours. 55 minutes and 56 seconds. The historic flight ended at 12 06 56 a. in today when Capt. William Odom, pilot of the Bombshell. set the plane down on runway four at Laguardia field, where It took off at 5:11 p m Saturday. The Bombshell's beater was out and Its oxygen supply was exhausted. but its two engines were running as smoothly at the end ot the 20,006-mlle journey as they were at the takeoff. The black exhaust streaks beneath the motors were the only evidence that it had completed a gruelling flight over four continents and two oceans, covered in a total ot 62 hours and 55 minutes actual Dying time. The Bombshell lopped 12 hours. 18 minutes and four seconds oft the record of 91 hours, and 14 minutes set by movie-maker Howard Hughes in 1938. Hughes’ route across Russia was some 6.000 miles shorter than that flown by Reynolds. "1 wouldn't make that trip again for a hundred million dollar," the 54-year-old millionaire pen-maker said as he stepped down from the piano. All three fliers showed the effects of their three days in the air. But they were happy an they emerged from the cockpit and waved to the crowd of 2,000 persons waiting at the field and pushed through 250 reporters, photographers and newsreel men. Reynolds said the worst part of the flight was the 2.<»<B> miles from Edmonton to New York. The plane ran into ice and fog between Minneapolis and Detroit. Prior to that the heater broke and the oxygen supply gave out. forcing them to come down to 11.000 feet and cut their speed for the final run. Only 300 gallons of gasoline remained in the Bombshell's fuel tanks when it set down at Laguardla. Trouble plagued the plane almost from the outset of the trip. Its radio went out over the Atlantic and the front landing wheel became loose at Cairo. In addition. It was forced to turn back and land at Adak in the Aleutians after fighting strong headwinds over the north Pacific. o Trade In ■ Good Town —Decatur » SIO,OOO Suit Is Venued To County Standard Oil Co.

i Jewish Underground Members Are Hanged Troops Alerted For Expected Reprisals Jerusalem. April 16.—(UP! — Dov Gruner, a British army veteran. and three other Jewish un derground tnen were hanged in Acre prison today while 100.000 British soldiers stood guard against expected reprisal attacks. Irgun Zval Leutni. the underground organization to which Gruner and the other three executed men belonged, has warned repeatedly that It would wage a veritable war against the British If Gruner died. Hanged with Gruner In the grim stone Crusaders castle 25 miles north of Haifa were Dov Rosen baum, 21. Eliezer Kashani. 19. and Mordechai Aloshl, 20. All three were arrested I>ec. 29 while trying to crash a road blok and were sentenced to die for carrying firearms. Strong army forces blocked all roads of northern Palestine leading to Acre. The hangings were secret without advance public warning. They were witnessed by the British district commissioner and a few other officials. A curfew was imposed on the Jewish quarters of Palestine almost simultaneously with the execution. All Jews in the area were told not to leave their houses. Military searches were carried out in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa at the same time. Jerusalem streets were empty -in the dawn hours us armored cars mounting loudspeakers announced the curfew. The case of the 33-year-old Gruner had created world interest because it came- to symbolize the struggle Icetween the British and the violent underground groups. Gruner's war record as a British lance corporal in Libya. Italy and northern Europe added s|giiifi-1 cance to his fate. Legal efforts to save him were carried in vain all the way to the judicial committee of the privy council in Umdon, highest pudicial authority in the British Empire. He was condemned to death by a British military court for participating in an underground raid on the Ramat Gan police station five w<<-ks after his release from the army. Communist Brand Is Placed On AYD House Committee Offers Expose Aid Washington. April 16 —(UP) — The house unAmerican activities committee today formally put the Communist brand on th* American youth for Democracy and offered to help expose AYD leaders on campuses where the organization is active. j In a documented 20-page report to congress, the committee said the AYD claims 16.194 members in 60 colleges In 14 states. It did not name the colleges. But later in the report it said AYR claimed members in 17 states -California. Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana. Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan, .Minnesota. Missouri. New Jersey, New York. Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin — and the Distrii t of Columbia. Lairelling the organization a direct arm ot the Communist International. the committee said AYD poses a threat to national security "as critical as any in history." "The spectre of Communism •talks our college campuses masked under the cloak of the American youth for Democracy twhichi is neither American nor Democratic in its origin or purposes.” Committee chairman J- Painell Thomas, R., N. J., said copies of the report will lie sent to every college and university in the nation and to each of the 48 governors and state legislatures What should lie done with AYD was left up to them. But the report did say that colleges and universities where AYD is active should "thoroughly expose" the organization's connection with the Communist party. "ita members on campus should be made publicly known and registered as such." it said. "Parents, fellow students and faculty memItem should be provided with those membership lists together with a candid explanation of the true nature of the organisation and its affiliation with Koviet-dominated Corninuniim in America." Thomas said the committee would offer its help in exposing leaders of the organization, which -Iras branded by the report a* a direct offspring of the now-dissolved young Communist league. The report listed the organisations headquarter* *a 150 Nassau St., New York City and named Naomi EiUaou as national chair-

man and John Gallo as national vice < chairman , The “acid test" of AYD's connec- ; tion with the Communist party, the report said, was that it never once has deviated from the Russian foreign policy line. It charged " a determined effort to disaffect our youth and to turn them against religion, the American home, against the college authorities and against the government itself.” o Sees 50 50 Chance For Steel Strike New York, April 16 —(UP) Unless conditions change radically, there Is a 50-50 chance that the steel industry will be shut down by a strike on May 1, the Iron Age said today.
