And justice the principle of dealing fairly with others, of equality under law. For all which means it's as much for your country as it's mine.’ "Since I was a small boy," concluded Red Skelton, "two states have been added to our country, two stars have been added to our flag, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance; ‘under God.’ "Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said. ‘That's prayer;’ and that W ' lid bo eliminated from schools, too?"

During the summer, this type of selling is at fever pitch. Once before, a warning was issued to beware of these tactiCs, but still many are fooled into buying under these great pretenses. When the doorbell rings or the knock is heard, be careful and give careful thought before you become a victim of a high pressure sales pitch. Generally you are the one who gains by the extra caution, use it. 1960 Leonard O. Hewitt Named To

gCTENCEIW Topics M /ill Alcohol Couses Brain Damage CHRONIC CONSUMPTION of alcohol may’ affect one's ability to learn after alcohol is no longer consumed, says a physician at the University of Florida. He said that alcohol and not malnutrition, as generally’ believed, is responsible for the damage to brain function (confusion, intellectual deterioration, loss of recent memory) frequently seen in chronic alcoholics. He observed the same kind of deterioration in sober mice following months of chronic intoxication and a good diet. USING SEWAGE SLUDGE as food-growing nutrients produced edible yeast at one-half cent per pound in tests conducted by biologists at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh. Soya meal, to which, they said, the product is c mparable, costs nine cents per pound. The sludge is tho end product of secondary sewage treatment systems now being installed in many urban areas. It is sterilized, filtered and chemically treated before seeded with baker's yeast. PRODUCERS of cleaners for the metalworking industry have succeeded in substituting other compounds for phosphates in many of their products to reduce the hazard of eutrophication of rivers and lakes. It has been accomplished within the past two to three years and without any significant sacrifice of the cleaning power of the formulations, says the general manager of a Detroit chemicals laboratory and manufacturing facility. "Seven-ty-five per cent of our 'North west cleaners are now phosphate free. Another 18 per cent are within the government's guidelines for phosphate content in plant water effluent, and the 7 per cent that are not being worked on,” he said. MANY MYTHS about cancer are still believed by a number ot people, says a Georgetown University professor of medicine and pharmacology. He said that it is hard to believe that people still ask their doctors, "Is cancer catching?” But they do — by the thousands. Included among the myths are the notions that there must be pain before cancer, that one must look sick before he has cancer and that if y u have cancer once you're less likely to have it again. THICKNESS OF permafrost i'llrie.s widely, says the U. g. Geological Survey. The greatest known thickness, 2,850 feet, has been reported in the mountains of the East Siberian District ot the USSR. Elsewhere in the northern hemisphere the maximum known thickness is beneath land bordering the Arctic ocean Permafrost is about 2,000 feet thick at Kozhenikov Beach near Nordvik. USSR; 1.330 feet neer Point Barrow, Alaska; 1.050 feet in Spitzbergen; and 1.000 feet at Thule, Greenland. It takes a real genius nowadays to make both ends meet.
