THE Negro leadership OF the
community ought TO find themselves
interpreting This situation on The
basis OF the facts This riot had for
the white community definite
propaganda value against Negroes
But most Negro leaders who speak
about the incident don't even soc
the propaganda value TO the whites
who were opposed to Negroes in tho
first place.
The propaganda value has work

the Negroes themselves begin to
feel that certainly they must be a

No More Free Suckers
at Pike RiUer Hatchery.

Tower and Soudan folks, in addition
to those from the rural sections, who
have been given rough fish taken in
the nets during the annual gathering
of spawn at Pike River, will be greatly
disappointed over an order received by
Harley Hanson, in charge of these op-
erations. Each year hundreds of these
fish, principally saugers, have been
rationed to any and all who desired
them, and were considered quite de-
sirable, especially when smoked or
cooked inta booyah.
The game and fish department, how
ever, who appear to sit up nights think
ing out ways and means of taking the
Joy out of life, have ruled the rough
fish will do more good by remaining in
the waters of the lake to serve as food
material for pike than to adorn the
table of those who enjoy a fish feed
every now and then. Consequently Or
ders were given Mr.. Hanson this spring
he must refrain from rationing out any
more rough fish. And the game and
fish department are unable to under
stand why many have so little respect
for conservation laws-Tower News.

Plans are now being formulated for
the annual drive for finances to MAIN
tain Boy Scout activities in the Head
waters area, according to Sigurd F.

1t is a national regulation that all

the council which is responsible for all
Scouting in its area territory. Finan-
cial contributions will be asked of all

ford all the opportunity to share in

sential that financial support increase

Nice Inherit Cancer
But Not Human Beings

One of the most important questions
about cancer to many people is this:
Can inherit cancer?
The Minnesota State Medical Associ-
ation'S committee on Public Health
Education today answers the question
in bulletin on malignancy.
Cancer as such is never passed di-
rectly from parent to offspring" says
this bulletin. Furthermore, accumu-
lated research on the subject now in
dicates that heredity Of cancer need
not be a source of worry to any person.
1T is true" the doctors say, that
a hereditary tendency to cancer has
been strikingly demonstrated in mice.
This has been largely due to the close
inbreeding in the mice which has served
to intensity and stabilize the role Of
heredity Such inbreeding does not and
cannot exist in man. We do not at
present know of any specific hereditary
factor in human beings"
On the other hand, a marked ten
dency toward certain types of cancer
appears to exist in some families, the
bulletin points out. This tendency is
not fully explained but members Of
those families should, of course, be
especially careful to report for an ex-
animation promptly if suspicious symp-
toms appear.
The fact that no cancer at all has
appeared in the immediate family does
not mean an immunity to malignancy,
however, and the doctors urge every
body to be informed of early signs and
to seek frequent examinations, especi-
ally when they reach middle age and
after
