blocks down the street before he
pulled up short Sure" he NUT
tered, land what am l running for
My names not O'Reilly!"
Beset as we are with shouts of
do this" or Don't do that" it
behooves us all to avoid jumping
and running at every shout. We're
brought to this conclusion by a
scholarly document just published
by DR.. Joseph Berkson, chief medi-
cal statistician at the famed Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Mimi. DR..
Berkson quietly, but firmly and
scientifically, challenges those sta
tisticians who have been shouting
that their figures are proof that
there is an association between
cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
These surveys don't prove any
SUCH thing, much less that there
is any cause and effect relationship,
DR.. Berkson says. And then pro-
ceeds to back up his point, using
the studies own figures.
DR.. BerkSoD, a member of the
American Cancer Society's own
committee on statistics and medi-
cal doctor as we'll as a statistician
singles out for most detailed analy-
sis the so-called Hammond-Horn
survey made for the Cancer So
ciety. He finds that the men ques-
toned by the staticians do not
constitute a true" sample, because
non-smokers are too highly repre-
sented and total death rates are
significantly" lower than for the
total population.
The Mayo expert warns against

been suggested" ne writes, ION the
basis of the findings in the publi-
cation of Hammond and Horn, that
an active educational campaign
be- conducted to warn the American
public that cigaret smoking ex-
poses them to an increased hazard
of developing cancer. Such pro-
posal seems poorly founded" he
concludes, when the cigaret smok-
ers surveyed "are enjoying equal
or lower death rates from cancer
than the genral public is experience
ing, and that their overall death
rate (from all causes) is also
lower"
To top it all. he says further. is
''the notable lack" of any medical
evidence to back up the "abun-
dance of statistics" Any relation

fore the accident, the Association
said.
Concerning the holiday forecast,
Thomas N. Boate, manager of the
Association Accident Prevention
Department, said: "The expected re-
duction directly reflects the reduced

the decrease is significant. 1t gives
motorists added hope that their CO.

safety programs can lower the traf-
fic toll.

the watch-words for safe Labor Day

Traffic Fatality Estimate
Is Made For Labor Day

The lowest nationwide traffic fa-
tality estimate for the Labor Day
week end since 1850 was announced
here today by the Association of
Casualty and Surety Companies.
The Association, which attributed
the reduction to the current "Slow
Down and Live" traffic safety cam
paign, estimated that 40 persons
will die on the highways during the
coming 78 hour holiday weekend.
Specifically, the Association fore
cast ascribed the 410 expected
deaths to these causes: 135 fatali-
ties due to excessive speed 65
deaths from driving on the wrong
side of the road; AZ from reckless
driving; 80 from failure to yield
the right-of-way; and 90 from fall

BABSON DISCUSSES "PROSPERITY"

looks as if we never had it so
good.
What Causes This Prosperity
Our prosperity started from the
tremendous pent-up demand for
goods and services that followed
World War H. Our prosperity could
never have since ballooned to its
present size had not our govern
ment so greatly expanded our ma
tional debt by releasing enormous
supplies of money. This keeps the
economic machine running smooth
ly but in turn taxes us all to the
teeth. Some economists have said
that if we do not want our heavy
debt, with both high prices and
high wages, then we cannot have
full employment and so-called
prosperity.
The thing that makes us ap-
pear so prosperous is that we are
all living off our rich Uncle, who,
in order to keep up appearances
and not let us down, has borrowed
so heavily. Some day, however, all
of us relatives" will have to chip
in to bail Uncle out. BY his heavy
borrowing. Uncle made it possible
for us to buy homes with little
or no down payment and with in
stallments running thirty years;
to stockpile agricultural surpluses
which the farmer can't sell; to
build vast new road systems and
other public works projects: to
provide military expenditures be-
vond the comprehension of man.
Uncle Sam has done all this by
borrowing from the future money
which he can never repay. He bor-
rows; he spends: he taxes: and
then spends it over again. It's a
wild merry-go-round.
Milford chronicle., 1955-08-26
Will This Prosperity Continue!


In 1853, Joseph Dodge, then the
Director of the National Budget
said that our national prosperity
could be 1ikened to the status of
family that had for years lived
we'll beyond it's means; had only
three times in twenty years pro-
vided itself with more receipts
than it had spent; had acquired
debt four times its yearly in
come; and owed more than a years
income on G. D. DIS that will have
to be paid for on delivery. How
good would you consider your own
financial condition if yours were
such a family? This is the con-
dition of the national family of
which we are a part.
There is nothing dishonest about
this; it can continue to go on for
many years more; but some day
there can be a collapse. Our pros
perity is in part an artificial pros
perity, artificial because it is fed
by enormous government expendi-
lures. Should the government with
draw the fantastic amounts spent
for stockpiling, subsidies, public
works, and the like, we can be sure
our prosperity would wane. On the
other hand, if we choose to con-
tinue to live on borrowed money
money which our children some
day must pay back, we can con-
tinBe for a while longer to have
good times at our children's ex-
pense. Some day, sometime. some
how, someone must "go through
the wringer''. / repeat, this day
may he years ahead; but once in
while I do like to remind my
readers that this prosperity game
cannot last forever.

refrigeration; back in '29 only 40
of our families had mechanical re-
frigerators. Today 1870 of our pop
ulation are high school graduates; !;

diplomas. Today we are spending

UnificatiOn-FOr POW'S

UnificatiOn-FOr POW's
In his vacation retreat at the
Aksel Nelson ranch near Fraser,
Colorado, President Eisenhower
took time out to sign the Executive
Order making effective the new
uniform code which is to govern
the conduct of future U. S. pris-
oners of war-of all branches of
the service, Army Navy, Marine
Corps and Air Force.
"No American prisoner of war
will be forgotten by the United
States" said the Presidents formal
statement, given out as the docu-
ment ordering uniform resistance
to brain-washing was signed.
Every available means will be
employed by our Government" it
said, ito stabi.sh contact with, to
support and to obtain the release
of all our prisoners of war"
In submitting the new six point
code to the Secretary of Defense,
the ten-man Defense Advisory
Committee on Prisoners of War
filed a lengthy report reciting the
history of prisoner treatment from
Biblical times, the history and
| background of the Korean War
with respect to Asian barbarity
in general and POW treatment in
particular. 1t treated of torture
and BRAIN washing and discussed
extensively the wide variety of re-
actions by prisoners, the handicaps
of ignorance and lack of training.
Of a total of 7,190 men captured
by the Reds, 2,730, or 38 per cent
died in captivity.
After repatriation, says the re-
port, the UN command listed 944
men as missing, which list ''has
been reduced to 470". The U. s., it
says, has ';consistantly" deman ded
an accounting from the UN. "All
have been declared legally dead.
Nevertheless the c m m S t S
should account for them in ac-
cordance with a signed agreement
with the United States" These are
presumably the missing that Am
bassador u. Alexis Johnson may or
may not have mentioned to Wang
Ping-nan, the Red envoy, in their
secret chats in Geneva.
In the sixth and last article OF
the new code, pledging the POW
to never forget that l am an
American fighting man :" the
Committee says: 'He should re-
member that the United States OF
America will niether forget mol
forsake him, and that it will win
the ultimate victory"

Hayes in the short sleeve sum-

AS soon as Hayes arrived back

fornia, was unfortunate to be in
the middle of three TIDY neighbors
and all summer, in this Kansas
heat he has been doing four yards,
including his own. No one here has
anything other than crab grass,
the yards are not level and the
hours of labor must have gotten
very irksome week after week after
