Prediction Dept:
World Still Stands
For Local Minister

Quipped Rev Walter C. Beck
about the Michigan doctors pre-
diction that the world would
come to an end Tuesday:
"Well there might be something
to that. I've got to take my driv-
er's license examination the same
day. and if I don't pass it, my
world will come to an end"
Incidentally, not only did the
doctors prediction not come true,
but Rev. Beck's world is still in
existence today. The amiable re-
tired pastor of Reformed Church
passed his examination with fly
ing colorS.

it should have been growing. The
reserve fund is not intended to be
used for long to meet increased
hospital rates; it is intended to be
available for an emergency such as
an epidemic, which would send
unusually large numbers of Blue
Cross members to hospitals, and
thus boost the bills the Blue Cross
Plan would be called on to paw for
its members.
The non-proft community hos
pitalizatiOn agency covers certain
hospital charges for it's members
when they are hOspitalized. These
include the charges for a semi
private room, general nursing
care, use of the operating room,
routine laboratory examinations,
drugs and medicines, and half the
cost of x-ray. Blue Cross covers
the charges of those services and
materials ~ and when the prices
charged by the hospitals go up, the
bills to Blue Cross go up. When this
continues long enough, Blue Cross
rates have to go up, too. Blue Cross
tries to put off that step until the
last possible moment consistent
with sound financial management
The last time it happened was
nearly four years ago. The current
study is intended to show when
another adjustment of rates will
have to be made.
The study will involve the Blue
Shield Plan also, for the medical
surgical plan has also been opera
ting at deficit in the first eight
months of this year, although not
so great one as the hospital plan.

Fatal Male Lung Cancer
Rises by 500 Per Cent

NEW YORK, April IL. P).-
The American Cancer Society
reports that deaths from lung
cancer in men have risen 500
per cent in the last 90 years,
but it says science has not dis
covered the cause.
In it's annual report yesterday
the society said it "takes the
position that the causes of this
rise have not yet been demon
strated scientifically"
Perhaps the best way to ex-
press the society's attitude" ii
continued, "is to say that some
evidence placed cigarette smok-
ing on the scene of the crime,
but the evidence is not strong
enough to convict it. Other data
link air pollution to lung can
GER"
The society said: "Of the siz
forms Of cancer on which the
society is concentrating, cancer
of the lung has shown the most
dramatic and challenging in
creases." It added:
TN men there has been ar
increase in mortality in the last
20 years of 500 per cent. While
the death rate in women has
also increased, the major threat
is to men over As. It is esti-
mated that male deaths from

Evidence Of Transmission.
DR.. Gross finds evidence that
the virus can be transmitted by
either the mother or father
mouse Of the leukemia-suscepti-
BILE family. Even the embryo or
unborn baby Of the susceptible
strain contains the mysterious
agent for leukemia.2 An extract
made even from the embryo can
pass 1t on to baby mice Of the
resistant strain or family.
Now DR.. Gross finds that the
extract can cause either leuk-
enia or 8 cancer of the salivary
gland In the neck In the injected
mice.
When prepared one way, it
causes leukemia. Prepared an
other way, it brings on the neck
cancer.
The explanation for this may
be the presence Of two kinds of
virus particles. one larger than
the other. The bigger one. he
suggests. could be the hitch-hik-
er for leukemia, the smaller one
the agent. for the neck cancer.
1t is also possible that one single
particle is causing both diseases.
