HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
BY HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK R-Some weeks
ago A.. P. Cooke, editor and pub
Usher of the weekly Plant City
(Fla.) Courier, leaned some bad
news about one of his readers.
The reader was himself. Should
he print the news or keep silent?
Cooke hestated, them sat down
and typed out his regular column,
Just Roaming"
"The word cancer is an ugly
word" he began. ''It is, to most
folks, a cruel word, a despairing
word because the very thought of
it brings despair to anyone close
to one so afflicted.
81 have just been told that I
have a cancer in the tissues of
the mouth, but I am not despair
ing.
"You see, medical people say
that early detection is half the
battle, and medical science has
advanced rapidly in the treatment
of this affliction."
Often he, like his readers, had
dropped a dime into the little boxes
that appear on store counters
Cancer strikes one of every five"
81 thought-if / ever gave it a
thought-that / was one of the
other four. But was wrong.
81 have become a statistic. Z.
not altogether a pleasant thought
:"
Cooke then told his readers how
dentist had first noticed the sus-
picious lump in his mouth, how his
doctor had diagnosed it as cancer,
and of his intention to fly to New
York to see the specialist his own
doctor recommended.
IF ! can, ] will keep you in
formed. /. Meanwhile, good luck
and God be with you until we meet
again"
Oh his arrival here Cooke met
further bad news. The specialist
recommended immediate surgery.
Cooke had to make up his mind
in 20 minutes whether to be oper-
ated on two days later-or wait
another week. AS he hesitated, the
specialist said:
when your garage is on fire,
put it out before i burns up your
Operate" said Cooke. The next
day he was in the hospital, and
the day after that he was operated
on. He spent more than four hours
under the knife, required three
blood transfusions, but IL days lat
er he left the hospital.
Today Editor Cooke has a happy
ending story for his readers. The
stitches are out of his jaw, he
feels the surgeon is as optimistic
over the results of the operation
as he is, and he is, on his way
home.
Before he and his wife left, I
visited with them on park bench
in Greenwich Village.
81 feel as if I had been through
tremendous nightmare" Cooke
said. THE hospital code word for
my type of operation is Com
mando,' and l can truthfully' say
that after going through it you feel
like you've been on a commando
raid. But now l feel like I've got
a life expectancy of go"
He expressed gratitude that his
own doctor had told him promptly
the full truth of his ailment.
Its hell Of a shock" he said.
"But it was almost as hard 4or
my doctor to tell me as it was
for me to hear it. He hated to.
but Pm glad he did tell me.

specialist said about your garage.
If it's on fire, you want to know

what's cooking in Washington:
Supreme Court Justice Bill
Douglas says it's his new book,
Beyond the Himalayas" that
will be made into a movie. The
story of his fascinating trip
across the highest mountains
will appear on the bookstands
in october at the same time the
film version by Lopert, the man
who did Red Shoes" makes
it's world premiere. The film
will be highly documented. The
Justice took along a recording
machine and made a sound
track of the strange and beauti-
full music he heard in these re-
mote villages on top of the
world, and his recordings will be
incorporated in the movie. The
School of Music at the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, he ad-
vised at the White House Aides
party for President and Mrs.
Truman, is now making a score
from the recordings and he
plans to have the music pre-
Sented to Washington in con-
cert form some time in the
future.

Dental campaign headquarters

who has probably been closer
to more presidential campaigns
than any other woman in Wash

campaign in the air has the
same effect on charming, lady
like Grace Tully as the smell of
gunf1re has on a Marine. The
private secretary to President
Roosevelt and author of
IF. D. R. My Boss" cut her
political teeth in 1928 when she
worked with Mrs. F. D. r. in
the presidential campaign for
AL Smith. Two years later she
was in the thick of the guberna-
torial campaign for Franklin
Roosevelt in New York and from
1882 until President Roosevelt's
death in As she was close to the
scene Of the big election battle
of every four years. It's heady
excitement and she loves it.
Besides being a great admirer
of Mr.. Hartman, he's from her
own home state.

on an act of the Scottish Parlia-
fment Of 1928. The act provided:
"It is ordained that during the reign
of her blessed Majesty, Margareb
each maiden, high or low, shall
have the liberty to speak to the
man she likes during leap year,. !.
If he refuses to- marry her, he shall
be fined 100 pounds, more or less,
according to his ability to pay. He
shall be free If he can prove that
he is engaged to another lady"
During the 17th century, writings
appeared on this subject, but by
that time provision had been
tackled on to the custom. If q
gentleman refused the advances OF
a lady, he had to give her a silk
dress. And this gift could be ac-.
cepted only If the lady were wearing
a red petticoat atf the time she
proposed!
