Lack Of < .an Spells Trouble

Every City, every community, looking forward to the future and to its continued expansion should
 for that growth. In most cases, this is not done and the ord mary town just grows up, willy nllly, with no thought as to the complications that will arise in the future because of this lack of planning"
 Thus, Jerry Dodd, resident en- gineer in Kodiak for Macri Con- struction Co. for the past, several years, opened his speech entitled "A Growing City," delivered be- fore the Toastmasters Club Tues day night Just what trouble does this lack of planning cause to a toWn?" he asked. He answers his question by pointing out that utili- ties are duplicated, or must be re- placed because of lack of capacity to serve corresponding districts. Business and dwelling structures are intermingled because proper zoning laws do not exist or are not enforced. Roads, he said, are too narrow because the right of way was not properly planned. Sidewalks are either up and down or stairstepped because no grad ing plan was in existance as each section was put in. Streets wander all over because no thought was given to their layout. Kodiak IS very good example of a town that just grew" the speaker said. Look at the streets. Look at the sidewalks" Most small, growing towns are in the same condition, he said
 He then asked the question What can be done to help this situation?" Most smaller cities feel that they cannot afford qualified city planner, he said. But they can hire qualified firms to make surveys, recommendation and a plan as to how to get the most out of the money they do and will have. This planning only has to be done one time. But it has to be en- forced and carried out. Perhaps the initial expense will seem very high, but over the years it will pay off.
 Dodd then advocated City Plan ming" "A town expecting to grow should have a master plan, cover ing an area larger than even the widest dreamer expects the town to cover" This plan, he said, will lay but future streets, business and residential sections, recreational areas, parks, schools, all utility lines and carriers. But, he said, qualified city planners must be used, who will work with civic leaders. "The few thousand dol lars spent for this planning will be returhed in the future many times over, the speaker concluded.

How Can You Warn Gently?

How Can You Warn Gently?
How can we warn you
gently? How can we wave a
red flag gracefully so that you
will be enraptured by its I'M
dulations rather than frightened
out of your wits by its timely
warning? I see no way except
to be thankful for whatever
warnings we receive; and then
act upon them, whether we are
frightened or not.
I recall a woman whom I saw
IA few years ago with large
lump in her breast. The cancer
had already spread to the glands
under her arm. There were
metastases (off -shoots) to other
organs, too. In other. words,
her chances for recovery were
almost nil.
I asked her why she had
waited so long. She said she
kept thinking it was a cold
abscess of some kind. I asked
her if she had ever read the
warnings put out by the Ma
tional Cancer Society. Among
other things, they were con-
tinually warning people about
dumps" and about seeing the
doctor early.
She said. mo, I haven't read
them or listened to them. I'd
turn them off whenever they
began to announce them on the
air. Truthfully, I'd heard that
the announcements were 'scary.'
And I didn't want to be fright
ened."
I am not trying to make out a
case for the value of cancer in
formation. If it is not immedi-
ately evident to you that it is
better to be a little frightened
early and live-then anything I
might say will be useless.
If in Doubt. Find Out
DR.. Grille has the right to his
opinion. I am sure it is his
honest belief. But I think there
is danger to you and your family
if we allow such beliefs by medi-
cal men to go unchallenged. I
have heard, other doctors, too,
wonder if we are not frightening
too many people by our educa-
tional drives. The majority,
however, believe that an early
warning in cancer is worth a
great part of the cure.
If you don't face the music
early, sooner or later cancer will
take the baton and play it in
it's own tempo. If in doubt, find
out early. 1t may not be cancer.
If it is, it can be licked if we
doctors see it early enough.

LAW IN THE NEWS
BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

The Rev. William H. Melish
controversial EpiScopalian cler-
Igyman in Brooklyn who was
booted out Of his church a few
months ago for alleged leftist
associations, can still conduct
services. The New York Supreme
Court has now refused to en-
join his preachings because, il
said, the veStry did not have a
legal quorum when it ousted
him.
The case recalls a similar one
last year when a Cincinnati
woman who had been expelled
from her Baptist membership
took her case to court and
secured an order reinstatine
her: however, the Ohio church
contested that order on grounds
that the court had overstepped
lCS powers.
It can be a pretty ticklish
problem for judges, but they dc
have certain powers in dealing
with religious institutions.
For the most part the courts
merely see that church rules are
followed. Ordinarily, for ex-
ample, where churches have by
laws governing membership ex-
|pulsion, these will control. Men,
bers are deemed to have ac-
:epted the bylaws when they
accept membership.
Once in a while, though, a
case will come up involving a
church with no rules on the mat
ter, and then the common law
takes over. This usually means

deplored the flood of propaganda
Instead of factual information
about the case. He wished the
Voice Of America had done a

that another statement by Mr.
Eisenhower was needed.
The statement was prepared
and released as soon as the news
came that the Supreme Court
finally had doomed the Rosen-
bergs. 1t said in part:
II am convinced that the only
conclusion to be drawn from the
history Of this case is that the
Rosenbergs have received the
benefit of every safeguard which
American justice can provide.
When democracy's enemies have
been judged guilty of a crime as
horrible as that OF which the
Rosenbergs were convicted; when
the legal processes Of democracy
have been marshaled to their
maximum strength to protect the
lives OF convicted spies; when in
their most solemn Judgment the
tribunals Of the United States
have adjudged them guilty and
the sentence just, will not in

a book called Cancer and Com.
mon Sense" by DR.. George Grille
jr., I read something to the effect
that fear of the word cancer
can do more injury to the mind
than the disease itself can dc
to the body.
The author also says: From
the social standpoint, the posi-
ton of cancer in the list of the
causes OF death is not as i'm
portant as the emotional i'm
pact that cancer education is
having on the public. Those re-
sponSible for telling the public
about cancer have chosen to use
the weapon of fear. They have
portrayed cancer as an insidious
dreadful, relentless invader. With
religious fervor, they have fash
Toned a devil out of cancer, and
have bred in the sensitive public
a fear that is approaching
hysteria."
Upset by Doctors Reaction
AS I mentioned, I read this the
other day. I did not dare make
any comments Immediately after
reading it. Nobody can be fair
when he is seeing red. Therefore
I put the thought of it away fol
a while. But I must confess, that
even after a cooling-off period
I'm still hot and disturbed about
some medical mans reactions to
the modern way OF warning
people about cancer.
When I hear laymen &C.
casionally say: Aren't the
cancer drives soaring a lot OF
people?" I can understand that
the question Is often asked in
innocence rather than tinged
with malice. But when some
doctors also complain, I think
a consideration of the problem
is definitely indicated.
How, ! wonder, can we warn
people without waving the red
nag? How can we keep people
from going over a steep cliff
unless we say: Don't walk out
there at night. You're liable to
go over the side" People SILVER
a little at the thought of "going
over" but are thankful for the
warning.
I can't see the difference
between humiliation by cancer
or by q fall over a ledge. The
only possible variance is that
OF time. In one, humiliation
comes on the wing of a bird; in
the other, 1t plods on the leg
OF a tortoise. In either case, the
end result Is something we want
to put of more than anything
else in the world. This being
true, I have never been able
to understand why cancer
drives" are condemned for being
too "scary."

that notice of the pending custer
must be given to the person
involved and he must be allowed
an opportunity to be heard and
present defense if he has one.
Even where a church does
have rules governing the ex-
pulsion Of members, these may
be modified by the courts if the
procedure is held to be unfair.
What is "fair" will depend on
the circumstances in any given
case, but if the procedures used
by the church are not considered
reasonable by the courts the re-
|sulting revocation of member
ship may have no legal force.
Another facet of the problem
often misunderstood involves
such churches as may be unin-
corporated or which have no
governing constitution. If a
church in this category decides
to expel a member or get rid Of
its minister, it can normally do
so only upon a majority vote Of
all its members.
That is, a decision made solely
by officials of the church may
not be sufficient to carry weight

cides to fight the action.

THE DETAILS

BELLE have been married
for five years to a man who pur-
sued me ardently and persuaded
me to obtain a divorce from my
first husband. We now have two
children, and I have done every
thing possible to make a good
home for him and to make him
proud Of his family. He, however,
has turned into an Indifferent
husband who acts as though he
lis martyred because he pays the
bills, which he is well able to do
out of a good salary.
I listened to his implorings be-
fore I broke up with my first
husband because my feelings had
been shocked by an instance of
|infldelity that became known to
me after I returned from a stay
|out-of- town with my mother.
was so shocked and hurt I felt
I should do something drastic.
When I told Fred how bitterly
I felt about my husbands con-
duct he urged and pleaded with
me to seek a divorce for the pur-
pose Of marrying him, and I was
angry enough to fall in with his
proposal.
able, as I realize that my first
husband merely committed an
act Of in1ldelity through weak
ness while I was away from
home, whereas my present hus-
band has no feelings toward me
at all. I have proposed, in
desperation, that we go to a
marriage counselor, to see if
something cannot be salvaged
out Of our marriage, but my
husband absolutely refuses.
FRED cannot imagine what
a marriage counselor can tell us
that I do not already know. It
lis true that I wooed Belle ar
IDENTITY at one time, but I hoped
she would love me as much as
I loved her. I realized after our
marriage that she had little to
offer me except her pretty fea-
lures.
Right from the start, it was
a one-way affair between us.
gave her everything, and in re-
turn she gave me nothing but
her bitterness towards her first
husband. She seems to have no
positive interest in anything, not
even in her children, and she
seems to think she is a heroine
because she is willing to run q
house for us in a rather indif-
ferent manner.
I am not interested in pre-
serving this kind of marriage,
but / keep on because I feel 1t
my duty to take care OF Belle
and the children.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Belle was wrong in obtaining
a divorce out of pique and FREQ
was wrong in pursuing a married
woman and playing upon her
sense Of injury. Now they are
doubly wrong, both of them, in
nursing their disappointments
and depriving their children Of
their first interest.
These two people have wronged
each other, and they cannot
make tolerable future for them
selves and their children unless
each resolves to make it UP to
the other and give the children
real devotion. This is really so
simple case that Belle and Fred
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-04

should be able to understand 1t
without outside help.
Fred wronged Belle in trying
to break up her first marriage,
and Belle wronged Fred In using
him to vent her bitterness against
an Grant husband. They now
can choose between getting deep
er into the complexities of UNI
happiness or making a deter
mined effort to live down the
sordid past by helping each other
with forgiveness and love. They
do not have an easy task, so they
must try hard.
