CHS Chatter
BY FRITZ Edwards

The big event of the past week
was the ever-successful annual
FLA banquet, held on Apr. %.
Bob Dorsey, a graduate from
CHS in 1858, as main speaker,
crowned the full program of
speeches and demonstrations.
An unusual guest, a Holstein
calf, was escorted by Larry Dor
sey who demonstrated the proper
technique for showing and judg-
ing dairy cattle.
John Graham, FLA president;
Bob Andrews, Bob Darby, Nick
Sweadner, and Don Staley recon
structed a disassembled model of
dairy farm.
The boys mothers, in coopera-
ton with the home economics
teachers and students, prepared
and served the dinner. Jane Lea
man, Peggy Stanifer and Joan
Edwards contributed their indi-
vidual musical talents.
The majorettes held tryouts
for new members on Apr. &c. To
be eligible, a candidate must be
from ninth, tenth, or eleventh
grades and have some ability to

Forty-nine per cent of the men
whose cancers seemed on micro
scopic examination confined to
the prostate, survived 10 years or
longer. This compared well with
the fifty-three per cent of men of
the same age in the general pop
ulation who lived 10 years or
longer.
The "early" cases are usually
detected as a single small lump
during routine examinations by
doctors who take the time to feel
the prostate.
DR.. JeWett's studies show that
more than so per cent of these
Jumps do not actually represent
cancer. Consequently it is very
inadvisable to undertake an eX-
tensive operation or possibly cas-
tration on this evidence alone.
A. prostate lump, however, is
reason enough for the trained
surgeon to expose the gland and
remove a portion of the tissue
for microscopic examination. If
this proves the case to be cancer,
the best treatment, according to
hospital records here, is imme-
date removal of the prostate, the
neck of the bladder, the seminal
vessicles and any other nearby
tissues to which the cancer might
have spread Castration, which
is used to palliate cancer that
has spread beyond the surgeons

per cent of all prostate cancers
discovered can be operated upon
with expectation of cure. In the
Johns Hopkins Hospital only 10
per cent of the prostate cases
are referred early enough for
possible cure. This figure orig
inally was only about 5 per cent.
DR.. Scott has used a variety
of experimental measures for pal
liation of hopelessly advanced
prostate cancer. He was among
the first to advocate removal of
the pituitary, the master hor-
mone-producing gland of the
body, to ease the symptoms of
prostate cancer. While this
measure has been of temporary
benefit to several patients, it is
not a cure for prostate cancer.

Annual minute Exam Held
Answer to Prostate Cancer

Studies at Johns Hopkins Hos
pital show that mems best guar
antee against death by cancer of
the prostate is a one-minute ex-
animation annually by the family
physician.
This was announced today by
the American Cancer Society
which supports a wide range of
basic and clinical research into
cancer of the prostate under the
direction of DR.. William w. Scott.
1t is estimated that three mil
lion American men today have
prostate cancers. Most of the
cancers could be detected by the
family physicians feeling the
prostate from the rectum. Many
cancers will grow slowly and sill
entity, and some of these patients
will die of other causes without
ever knowing they have had cam
GER. %1al
But cancer of the prostate
while readily durable if it is de-
tected before it has spread be-
You'd the prostate, still is one of
the commonest killers in men
over So 1t accounts for 15.9 per
cent of all cancer deaths in men.
DR.. Hugh ]. Jewett has found.
in a review of 357 radical opera
tons performed at Johns Hop
kins Hospital over the last so
years, that about one-half of all
men with early prostate cancers
live out a normal life span.

There was no such intimation

ship broadly, I suspect that Mr..

States needs and that it would
be wise for us to keep that in
mind.
IN discussing such matters. all
Canadians are not as subtle as Mr.
Taylor was in his remarks at
Great Falls. Some of our neigh

which they may have learned
from some of us. They tell us
IN about SO many words that the

ISOLATION, which had its annual
meeting in Helena this month. Is
the c~rystalized expression of the
prevailing thinking in the state
on the development, use and con-
servation of Montana's water re-
sources. Presently active in tbe
association are men who might
well be credited with a pioneer
ing background in this enterprise
so important to our common
wealth.
Concepts of dealing with orr
water resources that have always
been the policy credo of the Mon
tana Reclamation association are
baslcally the principles cham
pIoned by President Theodore
Roosevelt in launching the nation
reclamation program. These
concepts are in conflict with river
authority proposals spon-
sored by leftwing political ele-
ments.
Inferentially, if not in actual
words, a resolution adopted at
he recent convention supports
he principle of interstate water
'ompacts, such as the pending
Columbia basin agreement. It is
rue that such compacts are diff
,ult to work out, as all the par
lclpating states must agree with
reservations and this agree
nent must be ratified by the leg
slatures.

by now must surely have been

Stratford's "Oedipus, The

This is grand drama at its

makes of it in many ways the
most profound experience of

Douglas Campbell plays the
title role this time and he is

more majestic and flexible

James Mason last season. In
the opinion of at least one

adaptable to DR.. Guthrie's

as the great melodrama, or
detective story, of all time.
The Stratford Oedipus is a

Adjournment fever is sweeping
Capitol HILL Congress. its commit
tees, its members and their staffs
are working longer, harder and faster
than usual. Here's what went into
and came out of the mill last week
regarding Montana:
VS.. RECLAMATION
The Administration promised Con-
gress that it would quit talking out
of both sides of its mouth about yell
lowtail Dam on the Big Horn River
near Hardin. Congress had okayed a
four million dollar appropriation to
start construction. The President
signed the bill, but said some projects
couldn't be started until ''the de-
tailed engineering plans have been
completed and we have sound basis
for cost estimates"
The Bureau of the Budget said
Yellowtail was one of the projects
which the President had in mind. That
was news to the Bureau of Reclama-
ton. On the day of the Presidents
statement, the Bureau of Reclama-
ton said it plans to start work on
Yellowtail this year, subject to nego-
tiation for land rights with the Grow
Indian tribe.
Montana's Senator James E. Muir
ray, chairman of the Interior Com
mittee, invited representatives of the
two bureaus, the Department of In
terror and interested legislators to
sit down and get the matter straight.
