VITAMlNS PROVE
FOE OF CANCER
B Complex Variety Has
Many Uses In Treat
ment OF Diseases

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 70 =
Preliminary findings in cancer re-
search indicate the use Of Boom
plex vitamins may help special
cases of male sterility and femin-
inc disorders, it has been found by
DR.. Gerson R. Biskind, p~athologist
at Mount Zion hospital.
Reviewing ten years Of cancer
research based on the theory that
vitamin deficiency may cause Ger
tain types of cancer, DR.. Biskind
said his findings came as a result
of focusing his research on sex
hormone deficiency.
Male sterility and feminine dis
orders, he said, often tend toward
cancer development.
Seeking proof that certain COM
binations Of vitamins will give i'm
munity to some types Of cancer.
the 38-year-old scientist cautioned
against extravagant claims for his
findings.
ut would be premature to call
our loosely knit theoretical struc-
ture a significant advance in the
understanding of all cancer" he
said.
"But if we are right" he added,
1--WE will show how to diagnose GER
tain forms OF cancer and, most
important, how to correct nee
producing conditions even before
the cancer itself is manifest"
DR.. Biskind's associates explain
that findings to date have shown
for the first time in medical his
tory that, as a result Of expert
ments in producing ANGER in the
ovaries of experimental rodents,
B-complex vitamins will preserve
the necessary balance between
male and female sex hormones.

Benson said that currently funds
given cities by the state from this

to the state highway department
which appropriates them to high

Soldier Blinded By German Land Mine

to study journalism at Butler

righted:
His Letter
Dear Santa Claus:
Aren't we all children Can't all
Of us, though some Of us are adult
in mind, ask for the things which
we want most in life? 1 can't re-
member ever writing to you before,
but I have found it 50 increasingly
difficult to obtain this thing which
I want, that I thought perhaps YOU
could held.
AS a small child, / can remember
wanting playthings and candy: as
a teen-aged youth / wanted smart
clothing and athletic equipment;
now, I want something entirely diff
terent. It's not as childish as a
playing or, as temporary as a piece
OF candy; nor is 1t as ostentatious
as smart clothing, or as energetic
as athletic equipment. It is practi-
cal. Most people would think it a
necessity. 1t isn't. Only the person
who doesn't have it a understand
that. He knows, it is a God-given
lurury.
In asking for this, l have to think
OF you as an intermediary between
God and me, for I have already
said that it is God-given. He gave
it to me once before. when 1 was
