With new life springing up all around us, it's an inopportune time to be talking so much about the H-bomb. 0 0 At the moment there is some concern over the problem of unemployment. Full employment is related to consumer demand and _ if ways pan be found to get people to buy more consumer goods the rate of unemployment will decline. One way to achieve this is by putting more purchasing power in the hands of consumers by lowering federal taxes. 0 0 Three large Eastern railroads have reduced passenger fares on long trips, to see if this will increase the number of riders. The Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio are reducing fares between Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore; also between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The reduction averages 50 per cent. It w .. will be in effect from April 15 to September 30. Proportional reductions will reduce the cost of shorter rides. The Nickle Plate has made similar cuts between Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis. ——o-—o—- — Roosevelt will not have the support of the Democratic na-, tional committee in his race for congressional nomination in a California district. Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell said that party support would not be extended to Roosevelt, advising the former president's son to retire from the race. Roosevelt received the endorsement of the California state committee, but has to run in a primary to win the nomination. Apparently Roosevelt has troubles enough and in our opinion he should follow Mitchell’s advise. , o —— 0 Doubt has been expressed by Republican senators as to the qualifications of Samuel f. Sears to act as Impartial judge in the scrap between Sen. McCarthy and the army. Sen. Mundt called for a~ meeting of the investigating committee today and unless opinions change, there will be another delay in. the case which has created national importance. The charge against Spears is that he is pro-MeCarthy and in 1952 made a speech in favor of the Wiscon-

Experts Say Cancer May Be Due to Many Different Causes

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. CANCER is believed by many experts to be a disease due not to just one cause, put to many different causes. That is why there may be so much difficulty in treating it. We do not know the exact causes. ; / Before a treatment for ahy disease is found, the cause must be determined in most instances. A good example of this is a typical infectious disease. Once the genn or bacteria causing the disease is found, treatment becomes a relatively simple matter. Wild Cells It Is believed that cancer cells develop from normal cells with some process of growth changing them Into abnormal cells. These cells do not grow in the orderly banner of normal cells, but rather in a wild, uncontrollable way. they invade the normal tissues of the body. Practically any cell In the body is capable of changing into a cancer cell. ‘ There are many things that Can cause ceils to change from formal to cancer cells. Excessive radium and X-ray exposure or exposure to radioactive substances are frequent causes. Cer|aln chemicals such as betanaph-

A native of Italy, Mr. Toscanini rose from sheer poverty to a world place in music. In announcing that he was putting aside the baton. Gen. Sarnotf in commenting on the director’s retirement, said: “I am saddened, along with millions of people in America, indeed all over the civilized world, at the thought that we shall no longer be priviledged to look forward to your broadcasts and concerts which for so many years ennobled our lives”. There will be successors to Toscanini but no man will ever fill bis place. ' 0 . o—— War Intrigue:— The masterpiece of World War II espionage was neither German nor Russian, however much these two nations may have excelled in the art, but British. The story is told in a new book, "The Man Who Never Was.” The aim was to persuade Germany that the Allies' next move, after gaining North Africa, would not be toward Sicily, the obvious place, .... 7 • » ' i but elsewhere. Accordingly a corpse was chosen, disguised as a British major, dropped in the sea and allowed to float to the Spanish shore, where it was picked up. in the pockets were faked personal papers which looked very convincing, and also plans indicating an allied landing somewhere else in the Mediterranean. The scheme worked perfectly. The Nazis were completely fooled. and troops were diverted from Sicily to Sardinia and Corsica. This made landing much easier, and saved many fives. The sfory sounds like romance born of an ardent invention, but is vouched for, as', true. It indicates that many of the fantastic yarns of fictional Intrigue may not be hny more improbable than things which actually happened.

Adams county has sent about 25 Democrats to the annual dinner for the last several years and indications are that at least that many will attend this year.

thylamlne, benzene, tar, soot, petroleum products, chromates and arsenic can also* induce cancer. ' Although viruses have never been < proven to cause cancer in human beings, they do cause cancer in animals. Hope in Sight Scientists are steadily adding to their knowledge of cancer. When they find all the causes, they will surely be able to find preventive measures as well as a cure. In the meantime, those who show any symptoms of cancer should not delay in seeking a physician’s advice Furthermore, all middle-aged and elderly persons should have physical exami- ; nations regularly, once or twice a year, so that cancer, if present, may be detected early and proper treatment Instituted. If this were • done by all, many Ilves could be saved. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. T. B.: Is it true that the , heart beat of an unborn baby speeds up when its mother smokes? Answer: Yes, this is true.

When a girl is walking along the street with a man and he speaks to someone she doesn’t know, should she speak also? A. She should smile and nod her head. This holds true also for the man. should she speak to an acquaintance. Q. Should one always change his fork over to the right hand after cutting off a portion of meat with knife and fork? A. This is known as “zig-zag” eating, and is not necessary. It is better to be able to use either hand interchangeably while eating. Q. Is it necessary to send a gift when one is invited to a church wedding, but not to the reception? A. In this case, it is not necessary. Only an invitation to the reception requires a gift.

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX THE CARRS looked blankly from one to another, thinking in unison of the telephone message which had come that morning—from Stephen. He was in a hospital in San Francisco, and after a check-up would be on his way he had not been able to get a call through to Shelly, so he had called his father. “Don’t tell Shelly I'm coming. I want to do that when I reach her. I suppose she’s gone to see her mother. If I can’t reach her down there, I’ll surprise her ..." That was how the Carrs had learned she had gone into the city; they had called the hotel where she usually stayed. She was not a guest. They remembered that she had been down to the city a week ago—two, at the most. All this had happened before and after church; they had been debating their next move when Eleanor paid her visit. Now Willard Maupin said something about damn fool women, but he didn’t specify what women, and none present protested his verdict. “Well, there’s just one thing certain!” said Everett heavily. “We must find Shelly and’ bring her back.” “But, Papa . . May Anna gasped. “We must,” he repeated. “For the boy’s sake.” “Well, I’d think," declared Ruth, "that you should let her stay right where she is—for Stevie’s sake. The others watched Everett to see how he would reach “Ruth,” said her father sadly, •Tm afraid you are a fool!” Technically, Eleanor had told only the truth at the Carrs’. She had seen Shelly leave —with baggage. If their minds suggested anything else, she told herself virtuously, it was no affair of hers. Head up, she drove into town and stopped her car behind the blue one parked in the street where Craig Talboy lived. It was two-thirty: she’d make him come out here to talk. As she went up the steps of the apartment house, she heard him at the piano. Koanyer Than Springtime came the melody. Eleanor’s eyes snapped. In answer to her finger on his bell, the music broke off, and he came into the hall. “Who is it?” he called down the stairs. “It’s Eleanor,” she answered softly. "Come down—l want to talk to you.” “Won't you come up?” ■ “Definitely not.” “AU right.” He came down the stairs, Donald at his heels. Eleanor went back to her car, and the man joined her there, his eyes on his little dog among the -neighbors' shrubbery. But quite soon Donald went to the apartment house stoop and lay down. “He knows what Sunday afternoons are for,” Craig chuckled. He had lit cigarets for Eleanor and himself, and now leaned back in the scat. He was wearing a yellow cashmere slip-on over a dark blue shirt, gray slacks. “Raining just enough,” he grumbled, “to spoil niy golf.” The girl beside him smoked in silence. - .. . ■■ ■ - “Why wouldn't you come up?” he asked. “I'd have made you a drink.” bhe looked at him, her eyes •

Shining. “Not today," she said emphatically. “What did you come to tell "I believe it-is customary,” she said slowly, “for the principals of * juicy story to be the last to know there is a story. Eh?" His head tilted and there was the suggestion of a patient smile In his dark eyes. "Now what?" •Tve just come from Carr Circle;” she said blandly. “From Everett Carr’s house, where the family is in conference. All the family—except Stevie, of course—and—” she glanced at Craig, “Steve’s wife.” Craig said nothing. He stretched his legs and crossed his brown and white shoes under the instrument paneL “I’m waiting,” be said, after a long pause. “I wasn’t too surprised that such a conference should be going on,” Eleanor continued. "Perhaps I should fill you in on a few preliminary details." “I may not need them, but go on.” “Well, you see, the family have never been too happy about Stevie’s marriage to a night Club singer." She broke-off to glance at Craig. “Did you know that Shelly was one?” “She must have been a very good one, too,” he said calmly. His face was as smooth as polished wood. “Yes, she did do well last night, didn’t she ? But if you knew the Carrs as well as 1 do—Of course they didn't show their feelings last night, but that doesn’t mean —I suppose they’ve been afraid for two years that she would do something of the sort!” "Something of what sort? You said you’d fill me in on details/’ “I don't need to there. You helped her.” “You mean, I played the piano while she sang . . .” “You two must have practiced for weeks, you were so good.” Craig laughed and lit a fresh cigareL “But the real thing is, CraigShelly’s left.? . He turned now and looked at Eleanor. “Oh, she has!” Eleanor assured him. “And the town, I’m afraid, is saying that she went away with you.” ' ’ “Well, obviously that's not true. Because—here I am!” Eleanor’s smile was sweet As sweety as that arsenic and sugar paper put into little saucers to attract flies. "I do feel so sorry for Stevie's family,” she purred. ’ “Why?" "Oh,'l suppose it’s difficult for a person like you to realize the vulnerability of the ultra-respect-able ...” „ Now, Craig’S white teeth flashed in one of, his rare smiles. "But it’s true!” Eleanor, insisted. , "They have always done the right ■ ’ thing, the honorable and correct : thing. They have asked that of ; each member of the family . . .” i "And Shelly’s broken the code!” drawled Craig. “Why, of course! You can’t imagine any of the other Carrs i doing what'She did, Last night!” “I can’t imagine any of ’em ’ being able," he said flatly. “To i get up and sing — sing like an angel, Eleanor! And She looked i like one, too.”

Eleanor turned in the jseat to look at him. “You are in love with her. aren’t you?" c Craig, a little pinched about the lips, opened the door, and stepped out of the car. “I hate,” he explained, “and fear a jealous woman." Eleanor took this calmly. “Then you must also hate—and fear— Shelly." His face darkened until it was as black as thunder, and she drew back involuntarily. • “What in the devil ate you trying to say now?” She relaxed, and leaned toward him again. “Why,” she asked silkily, “do you suppose Shelly sang last night? She’s never done it before." . •'> Craig rubbed his hands up and down the back of his neck. “I think she did it because all at once she had got a belly-full of being married to the Carr family —that as being different from her marriage to Stephen. Last night she found herself lonely, and young—a terrible combination — and, on an impulse, she let herself express all the feelings she’d been keeping under control—" He broke off to look sternly at Eleanor, who had laughed. She touched the starter. “Shelly sang,” she said Itmpidly, “because I wore a red dress last night. Remember?" He stood staring at her, one brown hand clenching into a fist which, unconsciously, he beat against the edge of the car door. “You are a beautiful woman, Eleanor,” he said slowly, quietly. And it >as as it the words beat their force into her smooth cheeks, into those somnolent eyes. “But you are not desirable. You are * clever woman, but you’re without any mystery to a man. Or honesty. And a Successful woman must have one of those things. The lucky ones have both.” The engine purred more loudly under her touch. "Are you going after her?” she asked coolly. She drove away, and he stood watching the car until it disappeared down the tree-lined street Then he cursed beneath his breath, and stomped into the apartment bouse, up to his rooms, his black hair glistening with the few rain drops that had sifted through the tree leaves, He sat down at the piano again, but his hands rested upon his knees. He was afraid to express his anger upon anything so fragile as a piano. And he was angry. Angrier, he thought, than he had ever been in his life—angry at many people. Even at Shelly—a little angry that she had ever attempted to mold herself to the Carr pattern. Obviously, they had been told nothing of her real background; they had taken the statement that She was a “night club singer," and had'assumed the rest, though what they knew of any night club singer could be graven on the head of a pin! ~ And Shelly had let them go on being mistaken about her, go on expecting her to "do something like this." Her foolish, blind pride! Os course he was angry at all the stupid Carrs. At Stephen—for going away and leaving Shelly m this difficult position. He was furious at the townspeople .of Norfolk who would use Shelly to hurt i the Carrs, just as Eleanor—l (To Be Continued)

Eisenhower Defines Fears Facing America

WASHINGTON UP — Here is how President Eisenhower defined the five fears facing America and what he said about them:, Russia “We’re concerned about the nien In the Kremlin." The Russian leaders "love power” and know that “when dictators overreach themselves and challenge the whole-world they’re very likely to end up in any place except a dictatorial position.” There are “factors” that make war “less likely." But “there remains a possibility they might do this in a fit of madness or through miscalculations.” Atomic Age “We’re concerned about the atomic age." The H-bomb is "dangerous" because the Russians also possess it. ‘'But we know with respect to that bomb we’re not going to start a war. Os all the sobering effects on the men in the Kremlin none is greater than the retaliation that would certainly be visited upon them if they were |o attack . . . our nation or any part of our vital interests aggressively ..." The nation is building up its continental defenses “to make certain we have the best possible chance to live through such a catastrophe.” Communist Subversion "We are Worried about Communist penetration of our own country. Now along with this . . . comes another fear that’s related to it. the fear that we will use intemperate investigative methods, particularly through congressional committees, to combat the Communistic penetration.” The fear of Communist penetration has been “greatly exaggerated.” There are about 25,000 "doctrinal Communists" in the United States said “the FBI knows pretty well where they are”. Regarding congressional committees, “t think that there can be grave offenses committed against an innocent individual if he’s accused falsely." But public opinion in the lohg run will prevent any “real violence” to our rights. Loss of Allies “We’re concerned about the loss of our international friends in the exposed areas ,of the wbrld. the loss of them to Communist dictatorship.” — No nation has’ ever gone Communist by the vote of its people but by violence or “some slick political move” by a small minority. “We •' ■ b
