RECENT researches are peinting more and more to connection between the sex hormones and certain types of cancer. So far, however, the connection seems to be definitely established only in the case of cancer of the prostate gland. r As is well known, one of the grave and complicating difficulties of cancer is the formation of socalled metastases. These are sec- | ondary cancer arising from cells of the original cancer which came | loose. and drifted through the § blood stream to new sites. 2 If a cancer reaches the stage of metastasis before it is treated, then surgical removal is likely to give the patient only a brief lease on life because the secondary canBut in the case of a primary cancer of the prostate ‘gland, it has been found that the development and

‘Rescue’ at Fall Creek QUITE A crowd gathered around Fall creek near St. Vincent's hospital Sunday when the police emergency squad drove up with its police boat. The police got out, lowered the grappling hook into the water and pulled out a bicycle. Then they put the bike into the car and went on. The crowd seemed disappointed. The bicycle was believed to have been stolen property. ... The Civic theater, Ruth Rolff tells us, is experiencing the biggest week of any season this week. .The production which is drawing all the crowds is “Kiss-and Tell.” And because of the great demand for seats, the play will be held over Saturday night. Every night except last Monday the boxoffice sold extra chair seats which were set up in the back of the theater. And for quite a while before each performance ticket-seekers stood in the lobby, hoping for a cancellation. ... A woman shopper came into Block's the other day and bought a pair of boots.

They come in, headed west from Cuba, East from Mexico City, north from Central America and south from New Orleans, : Yucatecans once were used to having little contact even with the rest of their own country. Now they are growing accustomed to rubbing elbows with citizens from the four corners of the earth. So far Pan American and Mexicana have dominated the airline picture at this Yucatan crossroads. They pioneered the routes and developed the airport.
