Colby, not long ago you wrote
"the Latin for before is ante,
which, if used as ante Domini
would result :" You should know
better than to use the genitive case

Fort Covington: My cousin pro-
nounceS nephew something like
"nev-yuh," or that's the way it
sounds to me. Please give us the
correct pronunciation.-Mrs. E. o,
Answer: The pronunciation "NEV-
yoo" is criticism which once was
somewhat current in America. It
is now obsolete in the United
States, although some dictionaries
still list it as second choice. Best
American usage is: NEFF-yoo.

FOR LONG LIFE LOOK OUT
FOR CANCER

Without any intention of frightening
ANYBODY we call attention to the forecast
of DR.. j. R. Heller Jr,, director of the Ma
tional Cancer Institute, who says that 3d.
600 Americans will develop stomach can
Ger within year.
These victims do not suspect their all
ment. In fact, only one out of five will
have their disease diagnosed early enough
to have good chance of survival. In its
early, durable state the disease shows no
symptoms.
The same observation is almost as ac-
curate in regard to persons who will de-
velop other forms of cancer. Casual visits
to physicians, complaining of vague symp-
toms are not enough. A cancer detection
test, or several, are important if the di-
sease is to be diagnosed in time.
It would be great boon to modern
man if a simple, successful test could be
developed to discover cancers in their
early stages Until this comes along, as a
result of scientific and medical research,
the best substitute is to take care of your-
self by having proper tests made.

ATOMIC ENERGY AMPLY DISCUSSED

There may be many secrets about
atomic energy but officials of the United
Nations report that there are 4,5OO tech
nical articles published on the subJect
each year in 800 scientific journals.
With such mass of published mate
rial, all.relating to the new atomic energy,
there must be enough to give any intel
ligence scientist an idea of what is going
on.
Meanwhile. Summer T. Pike, member
of the Atomic Energy Commission, criti-
cizes officers of the armed forces for talk
ing about the development of new atomic
weapons. In view of the effort to avoid
giving hints to enemy sources, Mr.. Pike
does not think that atomic energy is a
fitting. subject for conversation"
1t isaWeIl known, of course, that addi-'
tional experimental explosions of atomic
weaponssare in the program of this coun-
try. Tha.sunsupported suggestion is made
that some of the tests will be conducted
from aircraft or warships in mid-ocean
and there are hints that they may include
artillery~shells or atomic-headed torpe-

THE KEFAUvER TELEcASTS

Some of the accusations of triviality
of televisien programs are neutralized by
the telecasting of sessions of the Kefauver
committee hearings. These views have
brought governmental problems home to
the spectators more yividly than-any pre-
vious medium. The audience was estimat-
ed by advertising men as 12,000,000.
These people will have far more in
terest in the problems involved than they
would have had in the days before tele
vision 1t is creditable that so important
telecast should be followed by. SO many. It
disproves many of the sneers at the low in
terest level of the average citizen. Its
chief value is in the possibility of attract
ing more public interest to public affairs.
