Cancer Research
Uses Geld Pieces

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Pieces of
gold, each Of them costing about
five cents, now have established
for themselves a valuable role in
the treatment of certain cancers.
The tiny gold seeds, tipped
from slender wires & radioactive
gold one-one-hundredth Of an inch
thick, encased in a narrow tube
of inert gold which then is slid in
to hollow nylon thread, now are
being used routinely and with
good effect to destroy some can
GERS which the surgeon cannot re-
move.
This was announced today by
the American Cancer Society in
reporting on research by DR.. Will
liam G. Myers of the Ohio State
University Medical Center. The
work was supported by the Nat
ional Cancer Institute, the Ohio
state University development
Fund and the ACS.
DR.. Myers began his expert
ments with radioactive gold and
other substance about six years
ago. He and his principal clinical
associates, DR.. Ulrich K. Henschke
in radiation therapy, and DR.. Ar
thur G. James in surgery, now
have used the gold on more than
200 patients during the last two
years.

Dairy Problems
Study Released

Columbus An important
study on Ohio dairy problems has
been released by the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation.
The 46-page report on "Econom-
ic Considerations of the Market
Milk Situation in Ohio" was made
by DR.. c. w. Pierce and DR.. w.
T. Butz, both of Pennsylvania
State University.
Emphasis in the research pro-
ject was on u the possible accom-
plishments of a State milk control
agency in Ohio; and q on the pos
sible advantages pricewise in using
Eastern type economic formulas to
determine Class / prices in Ohio
Federal Order markets.
Pierce and ButZ did not make
specific recommendations on either
a milk control agency for Ohio or
a new Glass l milk pricing system.
rather they reported on the opera
ton of these factors in areas where
they are now in use. An attempt
has been made, however, TO collect
analyze, and present the facts
which would be helpful to Ohio
farmers and others in arriving nj
decisions on dairy problems.

dent of the Ohio Farm Bureau

Business Still

Most sectors of American busi-

some of them, very rapidly. The
question which is characteristically
encountered is not whether the
present pace is satisfactory, but
whether it can be maintained, ac-

TIL" rash of chickenpox begins
AS tiny itchy spots. ESHnletimes the
spots look like little - ,aquito bites
bites, with a small area of red
ness around them. Sometimes
there is very little redness and
the lesion looks like a drop of wat
er on the skin. A little fluid forms
in the LESSONS, then it begins to
dry up and form a scab Most of
the rash appears on the arms and
legs. Often some spots appear in
the musous membranes of the
mouth or nose, or in the rectum or
vagina.
The LESSONS of chickenpox come
Out in crops for several days. The
first ones will be scabbed ever and
the new ones will be just appear
ing.
During the time tn. spots are
appearing, the child may have
small amount of fever and not feel
very well. Sometimes there is no
fever at all, and once in a great
while a child will be quite sick
with temperature of 1O4 or even
los.
AS soon as all tie LESSONS are
scabbed over, the temperature re-
turns to normal and the child feels
we'll again. This takes from three
or four days to seven or eight
depending upon the severity of the
case.
. Chickenpox is caused by virus
which is present in the blood, the
nose and throat and in the skin
LESSONS of the sick child. The dis
ease is spread by nose and throat
infection and probably also by
contact with skin LESSONS. It is very
communicable. A child with chick
enpox merely needs to walk
through a class room to give the
diSet So % many of the other chill
dren.
1t takes abcIt 2 weeks after
exposure for a child to come down
with disease. He cannot give the
dieSeaSe to others until about "a
hours before the rash appears. He
continues to be infectious until all
the LESSONS are dried and scabbed
over. AS soon as tine scIbs are dry,
the child is over the disease and
may return to school. Some years
ago it was thought that a child
could give chickenpoX to others
as long as he had scabs on his
body. We know now this isn't so
and now permit children to return
to school long before ali the scabs
are off.
ChickenpoX usually needs little
or no treatment. Some ointment
or lotion on the skin TO prevent
scratching, attention to finger nails
to make sure they are shoII and
clean is about all. 1t is important
to make sure Of the diagnosis. If
there is the least doubt in your
mind about what your child has,
better have the doctor see him,
even if the child is not very sick

changes in Brazilian exchange reg
ulations reduced minimum prices
by nearly one-fifth.
Bank Credit and Reserves. Total
loans and inv astments at banks in
leading cities changed little in late
January and early February, fol-
lowing a substantial decline inn
mediately after the holidays.
Excess reserves of member
banks during the past four weeks
have been averaging close to $500
million, which is a somewhat lower
level than that which prevailed a
year ago. Member bank borrow
ings, on the other hand, have tend
ed to be larger than in February
1854.
Security Markets. Yields on
long-term Treasury securities con-
tinued to advance during Febru-
ary. The yield on new short-term
Treasury bills similarly has risen
from less than l 1871 in early
February to nearly l 3/8ao. Priv
ate short-term money rates also
are in a rising trend. Yields on
high-grade corporate and munich
pal bonds increased somewhat dur
ing January and February as a
whole.
Common stock prices fluctuated
moderately at record levels thr-
oughout most of February.
Conclusion. Industrial production
has been strong; retail trade and
construction have been very strong.
Employment has been IMPROVING
slowly from the previous moder-
ately reduced level. Commodity
prices are steady-to-rising and Sc
curity prices, with some Interrupt
tions, have continued to push a.
head. The cost of borrowing has
tended to rise, with respect TO some
types of credit, in recent weeks.

new construction work put in place
in January increased slightly fur
ther to a seasonally adjusted an
nual rate of more than 40 billion
dollars-one-sixth larger than a
year earlier.
Employment. Labor market con-
ditions changed little from mid
December to mid-January, after al
lowing for the usual sharp seasonal
reductions in retail trade and out
door activities. Seasonally adjust
ed employment in nonfarm estab-
lishments at 485 million in Janu-
ary was up about a half million
from last summers low but was
about IA million below its mid

million in early January, a slightly
less than seasonal increase.
Distribution. Retail sales in jan
uary were considerably above the
reduced year-ago rate and not far
from the very high December rate
after seasonal adjustment. Sales of
furniture and appliances showed
further strength, and auto sales
were down only moderately from
the advanced December rate.
Con1poditV Prices Prices of
scrap metals, textiles, rubber, and

Chicken pox Is
Childhood Must
BY Dorothy v. Whippie, MD.

Chickenpox is almost a must"
of childhood. Very few children
grow up without at some time hav-
ing this disease. We have no way
of immunizing people against it.
One attack almost always gives
lifelong immunity. Second attacks
can occur but they are rare.
Usually a mild disease in child
hood, it's likely to be more severe
in adult life. The sickest patients
| see with this disease are the oc-
casional mothers who come down
with it when their children get it.
Therefore on the whole it's really
better to have the disease in child
hood and be through With it.
Usually the first sign of the dis
ease is the rash. Occasionally a
child will have a little fever and
be a bit irritable the day before
the rash appears, but more often
mother has not noticed a thing
out of the or nary until she finds
the rash. ..

Ascension: Vital
Isle In Atlantic

Washington Ascension, a
bleak South Atlantic island that
once was actually manned as a
warship, may regain its former
stature as a place of military van
tage.
The United States snd Great
Britain have been negotiating for
the use of Ascension as the ter
minus of a 5,000-mile guided mis-
sile range starting at Florida. The
British-owned island lies less than
eight degre. below the Equator,
about midway between Brazil and
Africa.
Twice before in history military
forces have occupied the desolate
crest of red-rust volcanic rock
simply because of its strategic 10
cation, the National Geographic
Society says. During World War
II AscenSion-bound pilots were
sent on their way with this jest:
You'll find it. Can't miss it-ain't
nothing else nowhere near it."
The island covers only 81 square
miles, half the area of the District
of Columbia. Born of a volcano,
its soilless surface is pimpled with
40 fire-seared cones, its back rib
bed with broken lava flows and
ashy rubble.
An early traveller called it a
blot on the fair surface of this
earth" In truth, the islands one
scenic spot is a tiny oasis atop the
highest elevation, 2,817-foot Green
Mountain,
