another summer journey TO
Europe where he observed start

the attitude of the man on the

and its activities.
Kazmayer was born in Rush,
New York, in November 1908. He
went to school in Western New

3. Dividends paid out to savers
for 1854 totaled $67,112.65.
4. Home loans increased both in

now numbering 961, with total

{CANCER NEWS;
Series of questions and an
swers, sponsored by Lincoln
Cancer Society.

Will irregularity in eating
cause cancer of the stomach?
There is no scientific evidence
that it will, since cancer of the
stomach may occur in people
who eat regularly the most health
full foods.
Does eating hot foods cause
cancer?
There is little evidence that the
temperature of food is an import
ant factor in the development of
cancer.
Does the use of alcohol bear
any relation to cancer of the
stomach?
Not SO far as is known. AL
cohol may have an unfavorable
effect on stomach tissues of
some persons, but no more so
than other substances taken in
to the stomach with food or drink.
See your doctor! Cancer can
