No More Shall Children Be Shushed— Theyre To Be T old The Truth About Cancer!
By ROSEMARY REDDING
CANCER IS TO BE STRIPPED of all its taboos and bugaboos and taken right into the public schools for children to understand. No more are curious children to be “shushed” or spoken to in whispers about this dreaded disease. It is a brand new front in the battle against cancer. For several years now, the American Society for the Control of Cancer and its affiliate, the Women's Field army, have been fighting away at great cost with conventional propaganda for adults only. Now it is making a fresh approach, as well, in a virgin field—youth in the schools. There, curious-minded children are to be told the basic facts about cancer through lectures and the distribution of an attractive pamphlet, effectively entitled “Detectives Wanted.” It is a nation-wide movement begun only this year. The local work will be carried on through the medium of high school health classes. Today the local chapter of the women's field army is launching its annual drive with a tea for workers at the governor's mansion. Throughout the month of April a large corps of women aided by local physicians will put on a concerted campaign to tell the public something CAN be done about cancer.

The lessons which the cancer control authorities are teaching to the young people are simple but quite as practical for their elders. They are being told that cancer was known to the Egyptians more than 3000 years ago; that no generation that ho cure for advanced cases has been discovered but that the possibility of curing early cancer has been clearly shown; that thousands are being saved every year by early diagnosis and proper That’s where youth comes in.

Be Economical, But Don't Brag About It
By RUTH MILLET ALL RIGHT, we've all got to economize, to cut corners and watch pennies in order to meet rising prices, pay our taxes, and buy defense bonds. ; That's the way it is and that's the way it is going to be for quite a while. But we don’t have to TALK economy all the time. It's enough to buy a cheap cut of meat and make it taste like something better. We don’t have to say it is a cheap cut when some member of the Ruth Millett family brags about it. It's enough to make over last year’s dress, so that it looks like this year’s without telling everyone who compliments us on it that it is last year’s model made over. It’s enough to decide to entertain as inexpensively as possible; there’s no need to explain to guests that having a spaghetti supper instead of a steak dinner is an economy measure, a 2 a
TOO MUCH TALK about personal economies is not only boring, it’s depressing. And it can make guests uncomfortable. If we tell them we're economizing in this way and that way, they may think we begrudge the money we've spent entertaining them. So let's economize—but do it quietly. There's nothing very interesting in the fact that we've given up this or that for the duration, anyhow. Everybody else is cutting down. But living séems more gracious if we keep our economies to ourselves, instead of proudly calling attention to them. A good goal to strive for is to economize as much as we can and
