The good ladies of Damascus
swear they have scarcely seen
their husbands since Saturday, Ju-
ly 25. This is a slight exagger-
alton, of course, but the reason
is that the big new fire engine or
dered several months ago from
the Oren-Roanoke Corporation of
Roanoke, Va, has arrived. Mon
day morning the new engine was
given three-hour Maryland Fire
Underwriters Acceptance test. Its
pumping ability according to
Chief Kenneth Howes went far
beyond expectations. Naturally
all the Damascus firemen are very
proud of this new piece of equip
ment which cost approximately
$21, 900. They would be very glad
to have people stop by the fire
house and see the new addition to
the departments fire fighting
equipment.

In TEN YEARS A CURE FOR CANCER?
Continued frons page screen

He does not operate at the side
of malignant growths; he changes
body processes that keep tumors
alive; he removes two small organs
which are not afflicted with cancer
themselves but seem to influence
the disease by remote control
the adrenal glands, yellowish bod
les about the size Of orange seq
ments, perched like three conered
hats atop each kidney.
Incidentally, the odds arc
that this operation would have
been fatal Eve years ago. Pa
tents without adrenal glands must
be supplied with the missing adre-
nal hormone, cortisone, and this
substance hadn't yet been dis.
covered.
One of the Chicago surgeons
patients is a 47-year-old housewife
who was suffering from advanced
breast cancer. She was bedridden
and had only a few months to live
at best. The operation halted the
disease in its tracks. Today. 10
months after surgery. she IS back
home taking care of her family.
''She feels 30 good" Dr.. Higgins
told me, that she's eating too
much and is on a reducing diet"
Another patient. a man in a SINH

Inns is the sunny side of the
story. If it were the whole truth,
we wouldn't be looking ahead to
the next 10 years - and we
wouldn't avoid talking about
miracle" treatments. The two
cases described above are not
cured. Judging by past experience,
benefits win not last indefinitely
and the disease may fare up again
without warning. Dr.. Higgins is
using the procedure for advanced
breast and prostate gland cancer
only. It isn't effective against
other types.
A sober appraisal, however, re-
veals why surgeons at the Mayo
Clinic. the Cleveland Clinic and
the Massachusetts, General Hos
pital are following Dr.. Huggins'
lead. About half of the 50 patients
he's operated on have been dra-
matically relieved. Investigators
don't yet know why, but one
theory is based on observation
that adrenal glands step up activ-

jected to stress.
Cancer - like such conditions
as arthritis, severe injury and
emotional conflict - makes a
heavy demand on these organs. It
may require extra supplies Of corti-
some. Byremoving the adrenals and
administering just enough of the
hormone for normal tissues, doc
tors may be starving cancer
cells. Whether or not the theory
stands up. special surgery and
other ways of controlling hormone
balances win continue to yield
important facts about the nature
of malignant growth.

and money spent, the greatest
effort of all il going into a search
for new cancer-killing chemicals.
According to one view. cancer cells
are simply super-stubborn para
sites like germs and viruses. If so,
there ought to be magic bullet"
substances to destroy them the
way known drugs destroy bacteria.
As a matter of fact. substances
which show this ability - to a
limited extent have been widely
used during the past few years.
DR.. Sidney Farber of the
Harvard Medical School has con-
Quoted pioneer tests of a drug
known as a-methopterin. His
patients are about $50 children
suffering from acute leukemia. a
cancer Of the blood. The chemical
structure of this drug resembles
that of one Of the B vitamins Ia
vitamin, by the way. which can
cerous blood cells require in their
diets. The resemblance is 90 close
that the abnormal cells can't tell
the difference. They are fooled
into devouring liberal doses of
a-methOpterin and by the time
they discover their mistake, it's
too late. They die Of poison.
The Iznznnnity Rsoblsm
USING the so-called "anti-
vitamin'' and similar drugs, Dr..
Farber reports relief from certain
forms of leukemia and an increased
life span in two thirds of all cases.
His prize patient, a nine-year-old
girl, has already exceeded doctors
most optimistic hopes. She is alive
today, almost five years after the
start Of her disease.
But such drugs cannot yield
permanent results. Strangely
enough, that doesn't necessar-
lily mean new chemicals must
be more effective. Two or three
chemicals, each as good as
a-methopterin andno better, might
revolutionize the treatment of
acute leukemia. And that goes for
other types Of cancer. The sub
stances we have now work only for
a while, because cancer cells grad

for the cells of the brain and nerv-
Gus system. Perhaps a type might
be found which preferred cancer
cells.
Flu viruses had no effect on
mouse tunors. Neither did the
viruses that cause cold sores or

Moore tested viruses lurking in
the bodies of ticks, rabid dogs,
mosquitoes trapped in the jungles
ofBrazil and Africa. Several slowed
down animal cancers, but cautious
trials IN patients gave little en-

ONE STEP CLOSER

Hi HEARINGS are over. The Congressman who con-
Quoted them are gone. Whatever was to have been said was
said, and now the matter hangs ii the balance. Sometime
ing matters affecting the condition and welfare Of The world
are looked into, then Congress will get around to giving time
and attention to an organic act for the Virgin Islands.
WHEN 1T WAS first announced that Senator Butler
would conduct informal hearings. meeting and talking with
people, this paper went on record as favoring such amove.
The reasons advanced were that such a method would per
nit Of frank discussion and expression net entirely possible.
with open hearings before gatherings Of people. And after
all IS said and done we still believe that the prior method did
have considerable merit.
NOW THE HEARINGS are over and we must wait to
see what Congress does about it but before the bill gets into
shape for presentation to both Houses, the Department Of the
Interior will have the largest responsibility and most influ-
entail voice in its framing. And te chances are that by the
time the bill does get before the Congress It will have been
changed in those ways which to the knowledge Of the De
partment of the Interior seem to indicate easiest passage.
IT'S TRUE that the organic act will be our constitution
but IN the atmosphere Of strict politics, with its give and take
ii may seem more important to have the bill passed, and
passed quickly, than that some Of the more controversial is
sues remain hanging fire. Any changes to permitsof incor
porating what to us might seem most important may have to
come later.
IN THE MEANTIME, every bit Of energy should be
exerted to make the Department Of the Interior aware Of
what is needed, and then to make sure that as many as posi-
bic Of these features be incorporated IN the act.
