Performers: Please do not make
the mistake of trying out new
pieces on audiences. l have Civ
en- this advice before, and am re-
peating. Many performers seem
to think that they must not use
the same number more than once,
and they are continually learn
ing something. Go ahead and
learn all you can cram into your
brain; but when it comes to per-
formance, sing, or play some
thing that you know so well that
you are tired of it. The majority
of your audience may never have
heard it before, and if you know
it we'll, they will like it, If they
have heard it before, and you do
it well, they will enjoy it much
more than they would a new"
piece all hashed up. Get out
your oldest, best known num-
bers for public performance.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-"The con-

the Council has endeavored to
rally American assistance for the
desperate fight of black and
brown South Africans against
Malan's fascist oppression, and
for the Africans of Kenya whose
struggle for land and survival
the British seek to crush with
the most ruthless and inhuman
punitive measures.

Natural Resistance To Cancer
Found In 7 Out OF 3 Persons

LOS ANGELES B-Seven out Of
eight persons have a natural abil.
ity to resist cancer, an American
Cancer Society official reports.
DR.. Ian Macdonald, president OF
the society's California division
and associate clinical professor Of
surgery at the University Of South
ern California, told q news con-
ference recently that il the true
character Of cancer could be de-
termined at its inception, doctors
would have a far greater chance
% conquer it..
Macdonald addressed the Amer
lean College Of 0steopathic Sur
geons here.
His theory, he told newsmen, is
that the character Of cancer Is
determined at its beginning, long
before II is discovered. II viii be
the slow growing type, which may
be carried for 10 years, or il viii
be the highly invasive form which
can cause death in matter Of
months.
AZ its very beginning, he be-
lieves, the growth comes into con-
flict with the body's natural de-
tense mechanism. in most cases
the natural resistance triumphs,
and the cancer never develops, he
said.
II the opposing forces are near
balance the cancer may grow slow
~ and may be discovered in time.
The defense mechanism may still
be victorious at this stage, he
said, with or without medical aid.
But If the defense mechanism
Is overpowered at the beginning,
death usually comes quickly.
Highly developed cancers which
disappeared without treatment
have been recorded. and MacDon-
aid cited these In support of his
theory. He recalled the case of a
man who underwent surgery at
General Hospital here In 1915. Sur.
geons found that a proven cancer
Of the colon had spread to the
liver. They merely closed the In
cision and discharged the man
from the hospital soon thereafter.
In 1040 the same patient returned
with an intestinal complaint. Elk
