EDITORIALS WHAT PROGRESS CANCER RESEARCH?

How soon can we expect a cure for cancer? It is a disease of tremendous complexity, v/t research gains already made scientists to predict we will see the problem solved within our lifetime. There is reason for this hopeful outlook. Within the short span of 25 years, we have made such progress as this: A drug has been developed in treating a rm-e type of cancer found , in women after pregnancy. It is the first solid tumor • spend favorably to chemotherapy. . Ti e “Pap” smear was developed, making it possible to discover uterine cancer cell- in an early and curable stage.

THE COST Os WELFARISM

jnd, the rallying cry of socialist and other left wing groups everywhere has been nationalization of industry, The goal was to make all enterprise of any size and basic significance the property of the state. • But nt>w, writer Richard E. Mooney in a New York Times article, a profound change in attitude is found on the European continent. There, he says, “ . . . not even Socialists make even more than a perfunctory clamor over the question of ample in Germany where that nation's big United Electricity and Mining Company, a government property, is being partially denationalized through the sale of shares constituting a,45 per cent interest to the public.

FARM i NOTESiffisra

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL is the best deep-rooted, long-life perennial legume for use in permanent pastures in Indiana It does very well in conjunction with bluegrass. It has the ability to withstand both extreme wet and dry weather. It has one drawback and that is it is hard to get started. Two methods have been fairly successful. One is to seed with oats in the spring and then pasture ch* dip the oats. A second method is to use a chemical grass control to remove the competition. The procedure is to use Dalapon on bluegrass sod in September or October. Then disc early in the spring to get a good seed bed and hand seed right after the disking. The grass will come on later and it should give an excellent combination for a long time. Trefoil resembles a fine stemmed alfalfa and it reproduces from its own seed. The root system is both a tap and bunch root, not going as deep as affialfa. but deep enough to be drought resistant It must have! a sweet soil and must be inoculated, t The use of trefoil plus a nominal expense for lime could cause acxnej of our bluegrass permanent pastures; to produce as much as five times the carrying capacity that they now j have. Another big advantage is that!] there are no known cases of cattle 1 bloat caused by trefoil and the feed-11

cure for ledkemia. but the lives of patients are being prolonged with new combinations of drugs, and many scientists believe that cures will be found for this type ot cancer sooner than for any other cancer. Hundreds of scientists in many branches of cancer, research, are working long hours in laboratories across the country to find new clues to fathom the mysteries of a disease which takes the lives of more than 800 Americans a day. The head of one of the largest research centers has said, “People think there is a lot of money available for cancer. There really isn‘t.

The economic causes that they promote are more ordinary web fare causes, designed to increase personal incomes.” The trend away from nationalization is all to the good —history tells of the failures of governments whose philosophies were rooted in that old idea. At the same time, ominous signs remain. Private enterprise is of value to the welfare state as a producer of tax revenues, as well as of goods and -services. But state controls can be. and often are. extended to the point where there is only a technical difference between state and private owner- - freedoms are circumscribed and political power is supreme.

Ball State will open an eight-story residence hall, Studebaker-East, for 450 women. With Ball Memorial Hospital phasing out its three-yeor nursing program, one floor of the Maria Bingham nursing residence will be rented by Ball State. "Our Campus housing has been filled for months," said Dr. M. C. Beyerl, vice president for student affairs. “And the off-campus housing in critical. We are doing everything we can to meet students’ housing needs. At this point, we can only encourage students who can’t find housing for fall quarter to enroll winter or spring quarter.

(SECOND IN A SERIES) Some very good things come out of birthday observances somej times. Indiana celebrated its cen- | tennial in 1916 and as a result of the Centennial Commission’s work, there was bom our present system of state parks. - A report of the doings of this Indiana Centennial Commission of 50 years ago reveals some information in regard to good tilings coming out of such (programs. For instance — C .“The Commission early called attention to the subject of permanent memorials, as is shown elsewhere in this report, one of the most far-reaching results of its activity has been the promotion of a system of state parks as a great many places over the state have done good work m marking historic spots, and in thus memorializing men and events in our history . . . the results will, by no. means be limited to 1916 . . . certain worthy projects hare been launched this year m the hope of future fulfillment. "The following may be cited .. . “Fort Wayne, erected a monument in memory of Johnny Appleseed. “St. Francis of the orchards.” South Bend placed a tablet on the home of Schuyler Colfax.

I houses will stand as centennial projects, and in Parke, a new Carnegie Library ... “One of the most worthy features of the many celebrations, one common to nearly all of them, was that of the collection of pioneer relics. Excellent exhibits were made in nearly every county. Many of these could easily be made permanent, were there a place in which to house them properly. What better and more appropriate Centennial memorial could be made than the erection of a building as the home of a county museum and of a county historical society? Efforts are being made in some places in this direction and deserve hearty support... “The Commission is convinced that the concensus of Hoosier opinion is that some dignified and worthy permanent memorial should be established. Os the various propositions suggested none has met with such general and hearty comj mendation, or seemed so likely of successful accomplishment, as the creation of state parks .. . they would prove to children and youth an educational asset of great interest and value.
