Students Search
For Cancer Cure
By HAYNES JOHNSON
Editor Of TEEN

DR.. Ivor Cornman, noted cancer ex-
pert, picked up a small white mouse and
said to group of teen-agers:
''Who wants to be the doctor?"
Naomi Jacobson and Tommy Simpson,
both 15-year-old students at George Mason
High School in Falls Church, Va, volun-
teered.
While Naomi carefully held the mouse,
Tommy used a hypodermic needle to in
ject an anesthetic into the animal
The students had come to the Halle
ton Laboratories in Falls Church to par
ticipate in search for a cancer cure. They
also took part in experiments related to
heart disease and mental illness.
Serious-and important-topics, to be
sure. But then the teen-agers are serious
and mportant-people. From their
ranks will come the future scientific lead
erS, the Salks and FermiS and, even, Elm
stems.
They had been chosen to come to the
lab because they all are top biology students,

swer to this query from Louise
Kallman Of Chicago: Gould
you give us the origin of the
expression Down East?'"
Why can't this transplanted
Down-Easter supply the an
sweI? Simply because nobody
really knows. though there are
several theories as to how this
phrase got its start.
One theory is that a sailing
ship bound from New York or
Boston to Maine would be sail
ing down wind"-but a mari
ner friend assures me that
there are no prevailing" winds
on the coast and that II the
direction indicated on the ships
charts were considered. the
ship would more logically be
said to be going up" East.
Az sounder theory. 1t seems to
me. is that our New England
forebears simply borrowed the
expression from England. In
England to this day a native
goes up" to London--no mat
ter whether he is coming from
the north. south, or west. SINH
larly, when he returns to his
own less important town. he
goes down"
Boston Of the 10Th century
the Athens OF America" it was
often called-was certainly as
important in relationship to
surrounding communities as
London to its neighboring
towns So my theory is that
the British manner of speech
was adopted, with the result
that Bostonians went "down
East" or down TO Maine for
vacations and Maine business
men went up to Boston to
trade.

MEANING OF ADULT EDUCATION

AM Oh ADULT
AFTER MANY YEARS Of on-again of-again effort
adult education in these Islands may be coming. of age.
And it is none too soon because in this era of ~enlighten-
ment education may be the only bulwark against en-
croachment Of ones Individual rights.
FOR "A GREAT many years education here suf-
fered because Of the role in which it was cast. Perhaps
due to British influence it became a luxury set aside for
the few either who could afford it or who, because of IN
usual brilliance, won their way to the top. Almost dia-.
metrically the opposite is the American view with its
wholesale sweeping concept of education for the masses.
True. for raany wears it was thought that nothing in
American education was even worth the paper on which
it was written, yet the sheer weight of hard, cold facts
kept coming to the fore, and today we accept a more en-
lightened view Of the whole matter.
EDUCATION is REALLY intended to serve man
kind. It's purpose is the preparation for life, and the
ability to contribute more fully because of the education
stages through which mankind came. No democracy can
possibly survive except in an atmosphere of wholesale,
almost total, education. Anything short of that would
do violence to mems rights, and defeat the very basis of
that way of life.
81 H great values of education is the pre-
paration for independent thinking. A man, upon reach
ing a~dulthood, must be able to pick and choose for him
self, and take those steps which are both necessary and
wise for himself and his family. And in proportion as he
does this so will the community Of which he is part
lift itself to the highest possible plane because the COM
munity is nothing else but an aggregate ofsuch indivi-
duals.
THE ADULT EDUCATION program, offering a
wide range Of subjects which could prove OF immense
value to those taking them, should be here to stay. The
curriculum is well planned, the teachers are very cap

WTHEN JOHNNY PULEO comes to town-all feet

In case you don't know who Johnny Puleo Is, he's
q little guy in wooly chaps and you've probably seen
him and his harmonica gang on the Steve Allen or
Perry Como television shows. Or you may have seen
him In the movie TrGpeze in which he appeared with
Burt Lancaster and Gina Lollobrigida. He was the
little Italian circus cleanup boy.
What you may not realize Is that Johnny Is
Washington boy. He was born here In 1912 In what
was then called Little Italy the fringes Of Swan
poodle. But he grew up in Boston, and 1t was while
he q newspaperboy there that he got his start
playing the harmonca
Washington still is pretty much home to Johnny.
And when he comes from time to time his mother
gets out the spaghetti and his nieces and nephews
get out their harmonicas. There Is really time at
1912 Tuckerman street NV.
That's where Johnnys family lives. There is his
mother Mrs. Charles Puleo (hiS father died year
agol and there two sisters and their families
Tony Baker, his year-old nephew who Is beginning
to make music on a harmonica; Tommy Baker, a
second-year student at st. Johns High School, and
4-year-old Paula Baker. who likes harmonica music
and her Uncle Johnny very much.

Usually when Johnny comes to Washington, his
wife stays at their home In New Jersey. She Is the
former Joan Saunders, who professional roller
skater she and Johnny married Il years ago.
"She is the business manager" Johnny says. "She
takes Of bookings for the gang She couldn't come

Strengthened out in New York"
Johnny doesn't remember much about washington
when he was q kid He left when he was about s.
went to school in Boston He started playing the
harmonica when he was in the third grade
When he was a newsboy, Johnny recalls, there
was a contest for harmonca players and he won. That
gave him q place with Borrah Minevitchs famous
"aarmonica RaScals." And when Minevitch died,
Johnny continued with the "Harmonica Gang"
He has played in Europe, including two command
performances for the British royal family and for
the President Of France He plans return trip to
England this summer
Johnnys mother has an altar to the Blessed Virgin
In her home Whenever he travels she keeps candle
burning. That, she explains, "is to keep him safe
Johnny and his Harmonica Gang have played In
most of the important supper clubs and hotels In the
world. And recently he and his gang made a high
fidelity recording Of a dozen Of their best pieces.
There is additional reason for Johnnys visit
to washington this week: He and his Harmonica Gang
are playing at downtown restaurant.
