HUMAN RIGHTS

How many definitions does it
take to make men free?
We didn't stop with the -four
freedoms" of war-torn d ays.
Someone proposed six, then nine,
then twelve.
And now the United Nations is
at work on AZ. One of its SUBJ
commissions is forging the out
line Of an international bill of
human rights. The estimates are
that it will take some 20 free
doms" to define and to safeguard
the meaning of liberty"
For to one man, liberty is pri-
marily freedom of speech. To
another, it is the right to partici-
pate in Government. To another,
it may be the prohibition of slave
labor. To some, it is the right of
property; to others, the right Of
petition. Still others will hold the
right of religious worship to be
the cornerstone of a free society.
All are a part of liberty lose
one and the others are endanger-
ed.
The important thing is less the
detail of definition than the fact
of definition. When the United
Nations Charter was being draft
ed at San Francisco, it originally
contained no references to human
rights. General Smuts and other
statesmen incorporated within
the broad provisions of the pre-
amble a recognition of the dig
nifty and worth of the human per-
son."
This is now to be given more
definite form. Human rights are
becoming, for the first time in
history, a direct matter of direct
international concern.
To give effect to such defini-
tions will be the work of centur-
les. But the beginnings will stand
as one Of the glowing records Of
the present age. Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

Training courses for volunteer fire
fighter crews as we'll as educational
programs play an important role in
the program. 1t has been suggested
that rural and urban schools could
contribute a great deal by devoting
at least one hour in both the spring
and fall 10 review of fire as an
enemy. Mr.. Gustafson, Extension
Service, Bozeman, will be very glad
to furnish materials and information
for this work to all groups during
the l947 fire season.
The coordnated efforts OF trained
personnel and equipment from all
agencies are important and neces-
sary. However, OF equal if not great
er importance is fire consciousness
and willingness of rural residents to
volunteer their services when and
wherever smoke is seen and fires
occur.

methods of catching fish. The osprey
hovers over the water. plummets
down, hits the water with splash
and catches his quarry in his talons.
The kingfsher sits in a tree and pa
tlently watches, catches it in

swims underwater to catch his prey,
while the eagle robs the osprey Of
his captured fish by forcing him to
drop it in flight. The eagle then

The moon is responsible
for those spicy Lenten
cakes. They were first
baked in her honor
THANK the moon for the hot
Il cross bun. Thank Selene, the
moon goddess of strong wings,
wearer of the golden diadem, who,
in centuries past, rode the skies in
a chariot drawn by white oxen,
their horns a counterpart of the
moons crescent. Selene was quite
a girl in her time, beloved by many
peoples, known by many names.
The Romans called her Luna,
again they would speak of her as
Noctiluca, the bright by night"
But throughout Italy she was
generally known as Diana. In
Phenicia the moon goddess was
known as Astarte and in Baby
lonia she was usually called
Ishtar.
Her worshippers could be num-
bered by the tens of thousands.
On the special days set aside for
her honor r. the days of the new
and the full moon - her followers
baked moon cakes to bring to her
temples, these imprinted with the
oxen's crossed horns. They called
the little cakes bon, meaning OK,
Evening star., 1947-03-23

later the name became boun, still
later, bun.
The Greeks baked similar cakes
to honor the goddess but styled
them with crosses either as an
allusion to the four phases of the
moon or for easy breaking when
Evening star., 1947-03-23

The early Christians tried hard
to abolish this custom of baking
cakes for pagan gods. But those
who joined the new faith were
devoted to their festivals and chung
to them.
Gradually the Christians took
over the most alluring of the pagan
customs and gave them new mean
ings. The mark of the cross on the
bun no longer symbolized horns
but became a sign of Christian
faith. In the medieval church, buns
were made of the dough for the
consecrated Host and were dis
tributed to communicates after
Easter Mass. The making of the
buns was a rite that belonged ex-
clusively y to the church.
Ran Was Removed
BUT in England, as far back as
1852, bakeries began baking the
buns in commercial competition
and stamping the bread with cross
lines. A forbidden practice, yet
these unhallowed buns sold like
hot cakes. Housewives, too, began
to bake the buns for private con-
sumption. With the rise of Prot
estantism, the ban against cross
bun baking was removed and the
bun was no longer holy bread. But
the world loved this spicy sweet
and has continued by centuries of
habit to eat it every Good Friday.
Bakers We'd with each other in
bringing the Lenten bread to its
most delectable perfection. About
a century ago in England the pop
ularity of the cross bun had reached

offered as sacrifice. Early Saxons,
too, ate cross bread in honor
of their goddess of light. The
Mexicans and the Peruvians had
a similar custom but which god
dess they honored, history hasn't
been able to tell us.

A Hundred Thousand Mice
New York Timesl


 Is cancer hereditary? If the genetcists cer- tain that it is not in the that color blindness hemophilia white black skin hereditary, it is partly because of the experiments that they have been able to carry on with mice which they obtained from the Roscoe B Jackson Memorial Laboratory and which had been inbred for quarter of a century so that their lineage was known. Compared with these mice, kings and dukes upstarts if pedgrees are measure of aristocracy When fire swept away many of the residence of Bar Harbor the laboratory de- stroyed and one of the most precious collections of experimental animals in the world perished Already Dr. c. C. Little director of the laboratory, has received S10000 from the Maine Cancer Society and $50 COG from the Damon Runyon Fund, doubt the first of many similar, substantial contributions to come from committees philanthropc organiza- tions and scientific foundations Though it will not take another quarter of a century to feed another colony of mice dhe Jackson geneticists know where to look for some of the arocratc descendants of the original stock, research in one field will cer- tainly be retarded becuaSe Of the fire.
 It with these Bar Harbor mice that Dr. John J. Bittner. of the University of Minnesota, discovered what called the milk factor" in In 1885 he transferred the newborn young of a hybrid cancerous strain to resistant foster mothers and noted astonishing reduction in the incidence of mammary cancer. When he reversed the procedure by transferring to foster mothers the born young of resistant stock the incidence of mary Because he knew exactly with what kind of pedigreed material he dealing he was forced to conclude that something in milk ried cancer producing agent. Thus the ing virus theory of cancers origin strengthened With cut strains of mice of unquestonable purity Bittner could not have produced the hybrids that he wanted and drawn the proper conclusions from the exchange of mothers It is because it has made such dis coveries that the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Lab oratory must be rebuilt.
