In a panel discussion Monday night on “Th? Smoking Controversy." seven physicians agreed they would emphatically advise their patients to give up use of tobacco. „ Dr. E. Cuyler, Hammond, of New York, researcher for the American Cancer Society, urged both doctors and patients to give up smoking. — Dr. E.E. Rockey, of the New York Medical College, who urged labeling of cigarettes as "harmful to health." also proposed “legislation against advertising through

any medium for the sale of tobacco products?* - ~ Reports on Experiment Earlier, at a session on chest diseases, Rockey reported on a six-year study of the effect of cigarette smoke ingredients on the Tung tissue of aogs. ' The research indicated the dogs developed tumors, pre-cancerous changes and various types of cancer," Rockey said. “The evidence is sufficient to warrant preventive measures,” Rockey said. ‘“I dare anyone to say smoking is not harmful.” Hammond said "every study” by the American Cancer Sbci?ty has shown cigarette smoking is a major cause of coronary disease. “Smokers have more of virtually every physical complaint," Hammond said, puffing on his pipe. He was the only panelist

who smoked during the discussion - The panelists agreed that cigar and pipe sm ok in g were less harmful than cigarette smoking and that those who do not inhale the smoke are less likely to be harmed by it. Dr. Oscar Auerbach, of East Orange, N.J., told the panel that lungs change toward the normal after a patient gives up tobacco. Results of Research Other research papers delivered at the llith annual AMA meeting revealed: —Evidence that total fasting for periods up to two weeks can bring quick weight loss for the obese without harmful after effects, when done under close medical supervision. —Development of an "omnifocal" eyeglass lens which provides for both near and far vision with-

out the sharp break between lens segments of bi-focals. —Repetitious highway markings, such as white guard posts and broken white center lines cause fatigue ip motorists and possibly contribute to accidents.

Educational Loan Plan Is Approved Forrest E. Duncan, genetai manager of the Eastern Indiana Production Credit Association, reports that because of changes, constant and rapid in recent years, the need for a better educated and better farm-trained operator has been ei&phaslzed. In years past that need has been apparent in most other fields of endeavor and is now a must in the field of agriculture. Recognizing this fact, PCA has developed a new type loan especially tailored for educational purposes. Duncan says that any dependent bf a farm family is eligible to apply. The plan is so designed that almost any qualified applicant can secure for himself a college education and choose to major in any subject he desires. Repayment is ‘geared so that the farm family who so desires can help their child or children obtain this very important and almost essential schooling. Complete details of the plan may be secured from any PCA office.

Street Fair Opens Here Monday Night Approximately 75 youngsters on bicycles and many more walking around found uptown Monday as the Red Men sponsored fair moved into town. They were a little slow in setting the rides and concession stands up because of the delay in obtaining state approval to close highway 33. The amusement people were able to begin getting the rides ready about 9:15 Monday morning. Several people had comments about the fair. One was heard to remark that this was really a “rat race.” Several girls were of the opinion that when they came up later in the day to ride on the rides “they would not wear their dresses.” It seems that they prefer to wear slacks. Many adults feel that the fair is “all right for kids.” Such a state of excitement has not been seen among the kids for a long time. Second street is blocked off from Monroe street to Court street. Rides and stands are also found on Madison and Court streets. The local Explorer troop has a stand which sells popcorn, hot dogs, and cold drinks, The Jaycees are sponsoring a basketball throw. The old-favorite among the kiddie rides are found here this year. There are five more rides for the older youth and adults and also a fun house“jail.” Anyone who is hungry for salt water taffy, candy apples, snow cones, or cotton candy will find them available at the several concession stands. Those who want jewelry can find it in a stand by the court house. Three games of chance are also here for those who want to try their luck to win something for their girls, kiddies, or themselves.
