Cancer Campaign
Choirmon Asks
For More Effort

With the annual cancer cam
paign at the halfway mark in
the month-long effort to raise an
unprecedented 1851, $50, Frederic
c. Dumaine, Jr., 1853 state chair
man, called today for the kind
of giving that is necessary to
match the increased goal assigned
to the Bay State.
"This years Cancer Crusade
must raise $4,000 more than we
raised last year." Dumaine as
serted, "and although early re-
turns are encouraging, we know
the goal can be reached only if
more people give and more of our
past supporters increase the
amounts they have given in other
years.
Treatment and cure of cancer
and basic research into the cause
of this dread disease have come
a long way in the past few years, .
the New Haven Railroad presi-
dent declared, "but the great
work by the American Cancer
Society and the scientists it sup
ports is dependent upon the pub
| lies generosity"
Dumaine stressed the fact tina
cancer research takes great sum
Of money and this years goal i
a realistic figure in view of tn
vast program the Society mus
undertake.
. Dumaine heads up an army {
! volunteer citizens throughout Il
state numbering in the thousant
/ who are devoting their efforts
raising funds to support the So
ciety's year-round work.
Present estimates place tn
number of deaths from cancer il
the United States during 1858 a
approximately 215,OOO of which
e,700 will be in Massachusetts,
The Society, however, says that
at least one-third of these deaths
are needless. With present knowl-
edge and methods of cure, at least
10000 of these people could be
saved if they were to get early
medical treatment.
Anyone who has not yet been
approached for a gift was urged
by Dumaine to wait no longer
but to mail it to CANCER in care
Of any local post Office. Credit
will be given to the community
from which the contribution is
received.

New WormIike Tube
Can Clear Intestines,
Doctors Group Told
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 26.-A
mechanical trained angleworm"
offers a new and improved aid
in relieving dangerous obstruc-
tions of the intestine, the South
ern Medical Association was
told today.
Two Lynchburg (Va.) doctors
said the new device appears to
be the answer to the difficulties
and sometimes failures
marking previous methods for
getting a rubber tube down
through the food passageway
into the intestine so as to sue
ton out obstructing gas and
fluids.
Curves Present Problem.
DR.. John w. Devine, jr., and
his doctor father said the prob
lens have resulted from the fact
that there are several devious
curves and one outright loop in
the passageway leading from the
gullet down through the stom-
ach into the duodenum, the first
part of the intestine.
The new "angleworm" is a hol-
low piece of curved hard rubber.
attached by an ingenious swivel
joint" to the fore end of a rub
ber suction tube which is in
serted into the patients nose and
guided down through the me-
andering pathway into the duo
denum.
The swivel joint" is remotely
controlled by a miniature speed
ometer cable inserted in the tube
so that the doctor can swing
the "angleworm" in any direc-
tion he desires.
Thus, the doctors said, the
entire tube can be guided, much
like a crawling worm, along the
tricky pathway.
The procedure is observed by
an X-ray Horoscope.
The doctors made theirs re-
port in a scientific exhibit at the
opening of the 47th annual
meeting of the Southern Medical
Association, second largest gen.
eral medical organization in the
Nation, with members in 16
Southern States and the District
of Columbia.
Contractor Is Credited.
They said the key to the new
development was the perfection
of the tiny swivel joint" They
credited this to Peyton Morgan,
a 73-year-old retired electrical
contractor, also of Lynchburg,
who succeeded, they said, after
they had been unable to find an
instrument maker to accomplish
the trick.
The younger Devine told a re-
porter the device has been en-
ployed successfully in a number
of cases and that an extremely
small model has been developed
for use in babies.
But, he added, there is still
a problem of finding an in
strument maker who can copy
Mr.. Morgan's work and put these
instruments out in any guam
tity."

And life insurance is keeping pace and
is constantly grotOing more flexible to
meet our net1 needs.
For example-to meet the increasing
interest of parents in sending their chill

panies have devised plans suited to a
wider variety of family situations. Some
are based on special educational policies,
others on the family's present life insur-

for college, whether the father lives or not.
More and more families are also using
life insurance to provide regular income
at the death or retirement of the bread
winner. Others are using policies planned
for particular needs, such as paying off
the mortgage on their homes in case they
do not live to complete the payments.
A suggestion: Have your needs or cir
cumstances changed? Have you looked
over your life insurance to see how it
stacks up with your present way of living
and the goals you and your family have
set for yourselves?

Lucky to Be Alive, Bob Mitchell
is Set to Work Out With Mats

Bob Mitchell, the baseball
pitcher who was shocked almost
into oblivion January 28 while
working as q lineman for South
ern Maryland Electric. is the
luckiest guy in the world, ac-
cording to Bob Mitchell.
The accident, which occurred
near Waldorf. kept Mitchell from
going to spring training with the
Mats. He'll start working out
with the Mats on their return

righthander performed with
Chattanooga last year. but was

elbow Injuries.
I'm still the luckiest guy In

good Lord took care of me. Why.
I'm lucky to be alive"
For a few seconds Mitchell
didn't believe he was alive.
Someone assured Mitchell the.
line he was about to grab was
dead. It wasn't.
"But thought I was" Mitchell
says. For a few seconds I was
paralyzed. ! hung up there on
that pole and thought: Gee, it's
strange here I am dead and I
can see all those people down

Arm and Leg Burned.
Mitchell was alive, but the T.
200 volts that passed through
him left severe burns on his left
arm and right leg. It was
thought he would not play base
ball this year, if ever again.
Il was lucky there, too," he
says. "At first they thought they
were going to have to graft skin.
But like I said, the Good Lord
took care of me-"
Mitchell spent a month in La
Plata Hospital under the care of
DR.. Edward Edelen and also re-
ceived treatments from DR.. Fred
Sanderson; burn specialist. He
also came under the observation
Of DR.. George Resta, the Mats
physician,
The January incident was the
second narrow escape for Mitch-
ell. On June Z, 1851, bolt of
lightning struck the area where
he was working. He wasn't in

at LaPlata High School and
later had some Class D expert
ence In the Tobacco State and
Coastal Plain Leagues. But it
was his pitching for Ole Olson
in the Industrial League that
awakened the interest of the
Mats. Mitchell pitched Olson to
the Washington sandlot cham
pionship in 1851. Despite arm
trouble-cured by an operation

fair season, mostly in relief,
