But they feared that the vaccine, unless stored in refrigerators after the theft early Monday, may already have become worthless. Alex Solomon, head of the Quebec March of Dimes, appealed to the thieves through press and radio to return the vaccine. “The persons most affected by this are children,,” Solomon said, “and if the men who took the vaccine have any conscience they will bring it back.” Some authorities believed the vaccine may already have been taken out of Canada. They said it would be almost impossible for the thieves to sell the serum to either physicians or drug distribution houses. The thieves took the vaccine, valued at $50,000, from refrigerators at the University of Montreal laboratory at suburban Laval after tying up a watchman.

0 Lung Cancer Research In Society's Program

Lone Cancer and Research <Editor’s note: From the Adams county chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Fifth in a series of articles explaining the new policy and the Cancer Society’s program.) Less tars in cigarette smoke has been a prominent point in salesmen’s talks about cigarettes recently. During the past few years, the rate of deaths from lung cancer has been increasing rapidly, and a tar fraction in cigarette smoke has been found to be a cause of cancer. But how can an organization working to fight cancer change a personal habit such as smoking, a habit with a wide variety of strong personal needs being satisfied by that habit? It is hard to see how the elimination of smoking could come about, even in the face of the knowledge that eliminatng cigarette smoking as a cause of cancer could reduce cancer deaths by 10 per cent or more. Two other courses of action are open then to organizations such as the American Cancer Society. First, it can simply make public the facts reseachers have found out about the relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Let the individual decide for himself. Eliminate the Tars Sponsoring research into the possible elimination of the cancercausing tars from cigarette smoke is the second way. The first course of action is part of the ACS’s education program, which will be outlined in the next article in this series. The second action is a part of the society’s work to aid research by providing money for research grants, and for studies dealing with the early detection and treatment of lung cancer. Dr. John R. Heller, of the National Cancer Institute, a part jot the public health service, sees little use in trying to change smoking habits, and believes that research in finding the specific tobacco tars that cause cencer and away in eliminating it in smoke is the way to lick lung cancer. Patients Mainly Cigarette Smokers Is this part of the fight against cancer just stiring up a furor for nothing? Twenty-two studies in six countries have shown that lung cancer patients are predominantly cigarette smokers. (No evidence of any kind has ever been produced that is inconsistent with the generally held view that excessive cigarette smoking is one of the principal causes of lung cancer.) Studying the smoking habits and fate of 187,783 men from 50 to 70 years of age has shown that deaths from all causes combined rises with the number of cigarettes smoked daily: rates were more than two times as high for two or more pack-a-day smokers as nonsmokers. Men who stopped smoking had death rates lower than those who continued to smoke. Lung cancer death rates were more than 10 times as high among regular cigarette smokers as among men who had never smoked. Deaths from lung diseases other than cancer were nearly three times as high among cigarette smokers as nonsmokers. In response to tha sharply rising death rate from lung cancer, the American Cancer Society has provided some $2,000,000 for lung cancer research. Kills 35,000 a Tear Lung cancer kills 35,000 Americans every year, having increased its annual toll eightfold in 20 years. Although it is the main cause of cancer deaths in men, in 1958 new studies showed for the first time that women who smoke a pack a day get five times as much cancer as women who do not smoke. The society was supporting research investigations into all phases of the lung cancer problem in 1958, with a group of specialists being organized to review published reports and to try to analyze the benefits of treament by surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Five-Year-Study Begins In November, the American Cancer Society and the Veterans Administration will begin working together on a five-year project to determine whether lung cancer can be detected early through x-ray and other examination. Approximately 12,000 men will be given examinations twice each year., The study will teach researchers whether the examinations such as X-rays can detect significant numbers of lung cancers before symptoms appear, Dr. Dean F. Davies, ACS administrator for research on lung cancer, said, pointing, out, “The disease is insidious; almost always it is far advanced before the person becomes aware of symptoms.” House Approves Cut In Night Club Tax WASHINGTON (UPI)—A Housepassed bill to cut in half the 20 per cent tax on night club tabs today faced an uncertain fate in the Senate. The House approved the admin-istration-opposed measure Tuesday, 209-4. It passed a similar bill two years ago but it died in the Senate when no further action was taken. _ m jfg i /
