CANCER NEED NOT BE FArAL


At least third of the persons in this
country who will die of cancer during the
year 1850 could be saved if they are given
treatment in time, declares Robert D.
Thorpe, national director of public educa-
ton for the American Cancer Society.
Accordingly, the Society plans an in
tensified educational drive among all
groups. Already the Society devotes a
third Of its annual budget to public i'm
formation. The effort will be made to
broaden the effectiveness of this cam
paign with special reference to the dam
ger signals and other information on can
Ger.
The increase Of the death rate from
cancer has sometimes failed to impress
the public because, very often, cancer is
not given as the cause of death of a per-
SON The fact that the disease sometimes
causes extreme pain to its victims has pro-
duced fear and apprehension but, over
and above this, is the reassuring state
ment that many Americans, even with
cancer, can be saved if the disease is re-
eognized and treatment is promptly adj
ministered.

BUILD Up CULTURAL VALUES


which is to begin on April 1st brings TO
mind the campaigns inaugurated by many
cities and towns to attract new residents
to their communities.
The phobia that causes civic organlza-
tions to measure all progress in munich
pality by the decennial counting OF noses
is an American phenomenon, indicating
something Of failure to understand and
appreciate the real virtues that should
make urban life enjoyable and beneficial.
We have long been familiar with the
yearning aspiration Of towns and cities
to become industrial centers and, more
than once. have been mildly amused at
the frantic efforts of the hometown
boosters to indulge in shadow boxing with
figures in an effort to prove to dubious
inquirer that the home town village offers
advantages not to be approached by such
wayside stations as New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco or
score of other ambitious little commlin-
tiles.
Once in while, the lightning unex-
pectedly strikes and a small community
is overwhelmed by the social problems
that accompany large industrial plant
that swallows the municipality. The boost
ers are delighted because, for the most
part, they do not realize that, in time,
many of the virtues of their home town will
be strangled in the struggle with economic
factors
There is, of course, desired balance
between industry and other factors that
make up a well-rounded city. However,
the activities of civic organizations and
home town boosters are too often direct
ed entirely toward industrial growth,
while other valuable assets of community
life are neglected, or forgotten altogether.
To illustrate what we have in mind,
let us record what we heard a man say
not so long ago. After an absence Of a
period of time, during which he had liv-
ed in a number Of cities, the speaker de-
cIared that, if he ever became able to
select the place of his residence, he would
certainly return to live in Key West.
While living here, he had not been
impressed by industrial possibilities. He
had, however, found life pleasant and en-
joyable. He liked what he called our
philosophy Of living, which he described
as balanced existence, with the proper
division Of emphasis upon business and
living. In some places, he said, he found
too much emphasis on the side lines Of life
and, in others, too much emphasis on
business activity. Here, however, he was
impressed with the possibilities afforded
for complete and well-rounded life.
Therefore, in our opinion, if Key
West would attract intelligent, desirable
residents emphasis must continue to be
placed on the development Of cultural ac-
tivities which afford the greatest oppor-
tanity for a well-rounded life. If this is at
tempted on broad scale, in time, the word
will spread abroad that we have an asset
not to be duplicated in hundreds Of other
places and people will really want to live
in our midst
