BUSINESS GEM RALLY IN KEY WEST
STILL CONTINUES TO BE GOOD

The Key West Chamber of Commerces bulletin for
October shows decreases in local business but
decided upsurge in of electricity which the main
stay in modern living No other thing can as accurately
guage the progress of community or the nation as
whole electricity It plays important role in the
home and in industry generally
Increase of electricity in Key West in October of this
year over October of 1853 totaed almost 100000 klo
watt hours That is clear indication that homes and
electricity in homes in promoting conveniences of
living and in seppingup the need for in business houses
Even at the peak of prosperity locally or nationally
there is falling off in lines of business while in
continue to go in Others Business is still good
In great majority of industries in the United States yet
there is falling off in steels and chemicals Stees par
tcuarly said to be in the doldrums.
Manufacturers increasing outputs because of
steady demand that keeps inventories low, and in some
demand can't be met readily. AS result the Stock
Market is booming with prices almost par with what
they were before the crash in 1929.
OF course a crash can come again, but economists
maintain that it is neither probability possibility as
long the Cold War lasts. What will happen when it
comes to an end in an altogether different matter.
But to return to Key West Business is still good and
unemployment here is less proportonately than in
cities throughout the country. Despite that fact The Ci
advice now is as it always has been - while the har
good be to keep much of the crop" you

INVITE THE BIRDS

Editor, The Citizen:
shall again appreciate little space in your Peoples
Forum column, again reference of inviting birds to our
lovely fine city of Key West
Sometime ago have written to the good people of
Key West to try to invite more birds of settling in Key
West to help beautify nice city And in the mean
time it will be good deed rendered Gods living crea-
lures Some folks compmened me for this thought which
have appreciated very much But very much regret
still see very few drinking basins in the lawns and back
yards of peoples homes placed for the brides to drink
and bathe Let's not forget that we have only salt water
around our Island City and birds love fresh water to drink
and battle in.
Speaking of living creatures, am strong believer
in being kind to all animals II there are some harmful ami
mails they should be destroyed but penaized they
harm nothing Let be kind all living creatures
and our God will be kind to all of Thank you dear

DON'T BLAME THE KIDS

Editor, The Citizen.
| think your reporter should retract his statement
about kids in the band sounding like they had just
out of the morgue Blame the leader The kids have
to do what he Why don't he let them play like other
bands that have here and that he has
trips from Key West? Also why not let kids strut and
twirl their batons?
When they get out the field they could really get
in the groove if he would let them and let the band give
them the music they need.
So. Mr.. Reporter don't blame the kids because they

have to abide with.

New Test For
Cancer Opens
Wider Field
BY FRANK CAREY
AP Science Reporter

ST. LOUIS R-Possible discoy
cry Of a new and highly accurate
test for cancer, employing urine
instead of blood. was announced
to the Southern Medical Assn.
Doctors T. c. Terrell and H. H.
Beard of Fort Worth, Tex, said
the test is based IN actually
measuring the amount of . sex
hormone called "chorionic gonad-
trophin" found in urine collected
over a 24-hour period.
They told the SMA's 4sth annual
meeting that this hormone occurs
in only small amounts in normal
individuals but that ii showed up
at substantial levels in 81 per pcent
of 81 proved cases of cancer.
And the researchers described
a chemical technique for separat-
ing the hormone from other sub
stances in the urine. This allows
a quanitative measurement of the
hormone, depending upon inten-
Sity of blue-gneen color.
The doctors said this ability to
detect varying quantities of the
substance suggested possibilities
of:
/. Detecting cancer before symp-
toms become apparent,
2. Testing for the presence or
absence of any signs Of spread
ing" of a cancer following surgical
or other treatment of the original
malignaney.
3. Differentiation between "be-
nign" and malignant tumors.
DR.. Beard told a reporter that,
aside from studies Of cells or It's
sues, most tests for cancer in the
past have employed blood SAM
pipes. But he said these have the
drawback that. they prpoduce a
large number of false positives'
due TO the complexity OF SUBJ
stances in blood"
False poSitives" are also pasSi-
bic with the new technique but TO
a far lesser degree, the doctors
declared.

YOU Are The Jury
BY ALTON /. BLAKESl EE
AP Science Reporter

NEW YORK R1-Cigarettes seem
to be on trial. You are the jury.
The charge: Cigarettes are
harmful, contributing to cancer
and heart disease.
The defense: That isn't proven
yet; others call cigarettes inno-
cent pleasure.
The bits of evidence of your ver-
dict are coming from scientists,
physicians, statisticians. This is
expert testimony from both sides.
There also are declarations from
zealots on both sides. people who
attack or defend smoking on emo
tional grounds.
The trial came to full public at
tention only within the last two
years. Here are some main rea.
sons:
StatisticianS found an alarm
ing" increase in lung cancer, par
ticularly in men over As. They
said the increase was worrisome
even after allowance is made for
the fact more Americans are
reaching the older ages at which
cancer becomes more common and
that cancer nowadays is diagnosed
more accurately than in the past.
These two things--increasing av.
erage age and better diagnosis
could account for some or much
of the increase from $500 reported
lung cancer deaths in 1899 to about
1000 in 1853. A few physicians
and statiSticians say these two fac
tors could account for most or all
Of it.
But the majority by far zee a
real increase in lung cancer
deaths. Some find the rate doub-
ling every 10 years, and predict
10000 American lung cancer vic.
Tins annually by 1860.
If there really is an increase
what is causing it?
From their own observations
some physicians blamed cigarettes
because most of their patients were
smokers. Statistical studies of hos
pital patients added much weight
to this view.
Cigarette sales increased sharply
during the years when lung can.
Ger was rising. This, to their view
was pretty suspicious assoeia,
ton.
Others, doubling, pointed TO an
increase at the same time in sales
of nylon stockings and automo
bileS, and in taxes.
Then came more than statistic Al
evidence against cigarettes. One
was the skin painting experiments
by Doctors EvartS Graham anC
Ernest Wynder. Concentrated tar:
from cigarettes smoked by ma
chimes was applied to shaved Skin

WHY NOT TRIM THE TREES7

Editor The Citizen
While we are all stressing safety and rightly so.
would like to tell of an incident that happened to me
last Saturday.
In the afternoon, riding in the bus on United
Street The windows open and low-hangng branch
of tree took vicious slap at my face and neck
Ny glasses could very easily have been broken but for
tunately just knocked out of line.
This is the second time this has happened to me. IL
started me wondering just who is responsible for those
trees that line the street. The bus drivers try to avoid
them but il is almost impossible.
Couldn't these trees at least be trimmed in the in-
terest of those riding?
Just wondering,

not smoked o. long as men have,
and it is argued that it takes 10
to 20 years of smoking to induce
lung cancer; that in the future the
cancer rate in women will begin
to rise. Yet another: There is a
sex difference-men may natural
ly be more susceptible to lung can.
Ger than women.
AS for air popllution as a cause
of lung cancer, it is argued that
women breathe the same air as
men. But it's also argued that
men, committing from suburbs into
cities daily, get more city air than
stay -at-home wives.
Men may be subjected to more
cancer-causlng chemicals or agents
in their jobs than women. There is
no doubt that a large number of
chemicals to which some workers
are exposed can produce cancer
in animals.
A leading expert on occupaptional
hazards in cancer, DR.. w. c.
Hueper OF the National Cancer
Institute, Bethesda, Md, reports
substantial direct and indirect ev-
idence that certain kinds of indus
trial fumes and other agents can
cause human cancers.
Men almost exclusively are ex.
posed to these hazards, he says.
But in at least one case when men
and women workers were exposed
equally. they both tended TO be.
come liable to lung cancer.
DR.. Hueper feels the total evi
dence indicates that not one but
several atmospheric pollutant.
are responsible for the causatior
of lung cancer. His studies lead
him to conclude that "while ii /:

Start Plans Now For
Permanent Pasture

Keep your pasture program in
high gear this summer" William H.
Mitchell, extension agronomist at
the University Of Delaware, advises
growers and beef cattle.
"Since at least half the cost of
producing milk is in the feed, and
since pasture is the cheapest source
of nutrients, and snce 80 per cent
of a cows potential production
comes from rOughage alOne-it
adds up that good pasture program
is inst common sense"
While no one program will fit
every farm in Delaware, the agrOn-
Omist favors a three-way plan to
keep pastures producing. This con-
sists of a Ladino clover and orchard
or bronze grass permanent pasture,
Sudan grass supplemental pasture,
and small grain pasture for spring
and fall. ''It's flexible, can be start
ed most any time, and is the highest
yielding forage program available
to all our dairymen today" Mitchell
believes.
GeJ IHlS lOng-range Plan started
right now by seeding about one-fifth
of your least productive pasture
land to Sudan grass, to provide
supplemental grazing in July and
August. Seed another fifth of the
land to rye for next fall and early
spring grazing.
Both these areas can be con-
verted to permanent pasture after
cattle have had their fill. This ro-
tatiOh means that part of the per-
manent pasure is being reseeded
every five years, and a definite place
is provided for the Sudan grass and
small grain in your pasture set-up.
