'C.O.,.P MAY 'CUT' JOSEPH DELUCA
Party Resents Independ- ents' Failure to Endorse
 Republican Ticket

Political circles today reported that Republican leaders had or dered party workers to "cut" against Joseph DeLuca, Republican and In- dependent Democratic candidate for the board of education, because of an alleged violation of agreement on the part of the Independents.
 MT. DeLuca told The Democrat that the reports were news to him. He has been on the most cordial terms with c. O. P. leaders, he said.
 The reports said that the Repub- licans had agreed to nominate MT DeLuca and renominate Coinmis- sioner John J. Kearney only after receiving assurances that the Inde- pendents would endorse most of the Republican ticket. At their nom- mating caucus the Independents nominated candidate of their own for the principal offices, endorsing only G. o. P. candidates for minor posts.
 MT. DeLuca, secretary of the h. dependent Democratic town conl- mittee, said that no pledges had been made to the Republicans about general endorsements.
 A c. O. P. move to defeat its own candidate, MT. DeLuca, would re- quire large number of cuts, since even a scant number of Independ- ent Democratic votes, plus regular Republican votes, will insure his election.

 Dr. Kirschbaun discussed tab- ulation of the causes of delay in visiting Q doctor, which always handicapS and sometimes prevents successful treatment of the dread disease. His figures showed that 64 per cent of such procrastination was due to ignorance and negli- gence, 21 per cent to incorrect ad- vice; 3 per cent to financial consid- erations - though there are many free clinics throughout the state; 25 to fear, and the rest to various incidental causes.
 He stated that the chances of a successful cure are enhanced by 50 per cent if a patient visits the doc tor before the disease has had time to make appreciable headway.
 Dr. Oughterson urged a complete physical examination once a year by 8 competent doctor as the most satisfactory way to prevent the dis ease from making unsuspected h. roads in ones health. The mair items in control of cancer, he said are recognition of the symptoms early diagnosis, prompt treatment and adaAuate treatment.
 He introduced comparative statis- tics for deaths from automobile ac- cidents and those from cancer tc show how great a menace the lat ter is. In the last 15 years, he said cancer has killed over two million people, and accidents less than hall of one million.
 Danger signals which should leat well-informed person to consult a physician he listed as follows any persistent lump, especially 1T the breast; sudden changes in thu form or rate of growth of mole or wart; persistent indigestion; any sore that does not heal, especially about the mouth or lips: and any irregular bleeding or discharge from any of the body's openings.

T,OOO,OOO Hunters
 In Safety Campaign
Accidental Shooting Season Opens; Ten Cardinal Rules Given to Avoid Mishaps; 700 Deaths Expected

70 per cent of all gunShot accidents in the field are self-inflicted.
 That would indicate, N. R. A. ot- ficials believe, 8 need for greater familiarity on the part of the once or twice-a-year hunter with his gun. It is pointed out that exper- fenced men who know how to- carry their guns in the field are very like ly able to control the gun in case of a slip or fall.
 A third warning is directed prin- cipally toward the shotgun hunter. More than 80 per cent of the gun accidents in the field are inflicted by this type of weapon, according to 1940 figures.
 National observance of the N. R. As ten cardinal rules of gun safety in l940 is largely credited with the drastic reduction in the number of accidental gunshot deaths last year to a point where less than 24s per cent of the total of all fatal acci- dents could be blamed on firearms.
 The ten cardinal rules of gun safety,
 1. Treat every gun with the re- spect due loaded gun. This is the cardinal rule of gun safety.
 2. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your automobile, camp and home.
 3. Always be sure that the bar rel and action are clear of obstruc- tions. .
 4. Always carry your gun so that you canscontrol the direction of the muzzle even If you stumble.
 5. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.
 6. Never point 8 gun at anything you do not want to shoot.
 2. Never leave your gun unat- tended unless you unload it first. 8. Never climb tree or a fence with loaded gun.
 g. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water.
 10. Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol
