HIRSCHE ISSUES
 FACTS ON CANCER

No greater proof of the slogan "only early cancer is curable" could be presented than statistics quoted by Herbert F. Hirsche research stat istician of the state department of health's division of cancer research, in the departments current monthly bulletin. His data are of particular importance to women since they concern cancer of the breast.
 Cases of breast cancer can rough ly be divided into three main stages: CD those cases in which the disease is localized to the breast; CD those in which some degree of involvement has occurred in the glands under the arm; (3) those in which the disease has spread to in volve distant vital organs.
 Among 100 women adequately treated about 70 would be alive and perfectly well five years later in stage CD, only about ten to 20 in stage CD, and none in stage (3). These figures, MT. Hirsche declares, portrays more eloquently than words what early treatment really means in terms of life expectancy.
 Cancer of the breast is one of the most common types. It is easily recognized because it starts as 8 small painless lump in that region. Most women recognize this fact, yet few apply the hard and fast rule that the presence of such condi- ton must be considered cancer un- til definitely proven otherwise. To abide by such rule, MT. Hirsche states, requires courage, and to visit a physician for the necessary proof requires initiative. Reasons for de- lay are understandable and neceS- sitate the most sympathetic consid- eration. he says, but none are justi- fable in the presence of a disease which is cold and merciless.
 Necessity for early diagnosis and treatment is today advocated for practically ali diseases. The untreat- ed cold may lead to pneumonia, measles to middle-ear infection, ap- pendicitis to peritonitis. Untreated cancer, however, leads irrevocably to death! Yet the number of cases of breast cancer submitted for treat ment, which do not involve the glands of the arm, are relatively small, and hence the final outcome, even in the best clinics throughout

VALUABLE TIMBER
 TREES ENDANGERED
State Names Force of 30 Men to Protect $1l,.
 OOO,OOO Asset

The protection of an asset of the state of Connecticut conservatively valued at $11,000,000 is the concern of a statewide Works Progress Ad- ministration project known as the White Pine Blister Rust control project. With force of 30 especially trained men, the work of eradication of the disease which threatens the states most valued timber trees with destruction is going forward on a wide front in determined effort to prevent a duplication of the plight which befell our chestnut trees some years ago.
 Early History
 Like most of our serious insect and fungus pests, the blister rust is of foreign origin. It was first heard of in 1854 in Russia, where it was discovered or pines and cur rant and gooseberry bushes. It was then believed to be two distinct Spe cies' of fungi but in 1888 a scientist discovered that they were one and the same.
 The currant and gooseberry in this country are regarded of compara- lively little economic value, while the white pine is characterized as "the most valuable species of tree in the forests and could not be replaced with satisfactory substitutes" This quotation is from a Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin. Hence the protection of the white pine in Connecticut be- comes an issue of great importance economically.
 Study Required
 The first essential is to determine where the pine stands which are worth protecting are situated. In or der to know this the men must be trained to type-map, not only the pine but the control area of soc feet surrounding it. Once the maps are prepared it is necessary to paint the bounds showing the outer limit of the control area. This is done by placing thin strip of paint on the trees 300 feet away from the infected pines. Crews following up in the summer thus are shown where to stop pulling up the cur- rant and gooseberry bushes.
 The WPA crews have type mapped a total of 54,748 acres of land in and around white pine stands in Connecticut and of that number 30,152 acres have been cleared of currant and gooseberry plants.
 The average 60 year old stand of white pine will yield about 25,OOO board feet per acre. At $500 per thousand, the value of the stand per acre would be $50. With the aver age annual cost of protection for the white pines running from 35 to 45 cents per acre, it would appear that the work is fully justified from an economic point of view, both to the state and to the private owners of the trees.

 has been widely copied through
 out Europe.
 Skiing is easy to learn. If you can walk, you can ski. Modern equipment is so much better than that of even a few years ago that the beginner now has big advan- tage over the skier who started some time back.
 Of course how good you get to be, after the first easy but import ant lessons are matter of practice on ski slopes. Unlike many sports, in which practice is tiresome, ski practice is fun. From the first the beginner will know why skiing has been named 'The Sport of Thrills.
 The first thing the future ski enthusiast must learn and all skiers become enthusiasts almost from the first moment-is how to put On the bright new skis for which she or he was measured.
 Skis should be of 8 length suf- ficient to reach the palm of the skier's hand when the arm is stretched overhead.
 Beginners are taught to do everything themselves. My teach CTS and I show the student what to do and correct mistakes, as they are made, but we believe that stu dents should help themselves and be independent.
 When students fall down, we tell them how to get up, but we do not help them.
 The modern ski, because of ex- cellent boots and bindings, really is part of the skier's foot.
 Before putting on the skis, the
