IOver Cancer Toll

The report which covers the year end
ing January, 1857, reveals the seriousness Of
the cancer problem on a national level 1t
stands second only to heart disease as major
cause of death. It's toll, 250,000 lives year, is
six times the present automobile death rate.
AS to it's cost in dollars, cancer takes
more money from more American families
than any other disease does, according to
David L. Harrington of the American Can
Ger Society.
Lost wages alone will total SITS million
this year, he said. Added to this will be a
medical bill to employed persons of over S100
million. And this doesn't include home care
and follow-up treatments.
The average cancer patient who receives
hospital care spends $1,025 year for dag
noSis and treatment.
Lung cancer, which has become matter
of growing public concern, was responsible
for 1870 percent of all cancer deaths in the
United Stats, the report shows.
In Noble county, in the year, lung cam

Although cancer is a leading cause OF
death in Noble county, its ravages locally
are found to be somewhat less severe than in
most other parts of the East North Central
States.
This is shown in the annual vital statis-
tics report of the U. S. Department OF Health,
Education and Welfare, issued recently.
The whole subject of cancer and all 1t
entails has come sharply to the fore with the
illness of Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
Added interest at present comes from
the fact that April is Cancer Control Month,
so designated by President Eisenhower.
The Federal report lists the toll among
residents of Noble county from cancer and
other malignant tumors at II. Deaths OF
non-resdents are not included
On the basis of local population, this rep
resented rate of l45 cancer deaths per 100,-
600 population, which was lower than the
corresponding mortality in the East North
Central States as whole, 156 per 100000.
It was below, also, the rate in the State
of Ohio, 157 per 100000.

Something For Something
BY George Peck

Lemuel r. Boulware. vice
president Of General Electric
COMPANY, delivered an address
on February 81, 1859, before
tie Annual Convention of the
National Gamers Association
in session at Chicago. He told
the Gamers" that business
men not only can contribute
to better government, but have
a two-fold OBLIGATION to do so.
The first OBLIGATION, accord
inc to ROulware, is for bust
nessmen to bring to the atten-
ton of stockholders, customers,
and legislators, their opinion as
to the effect, favorable or ad-
verse, proposed LEGISLATION or
tfe lack Of LEGISLATION, will
have upon their businesses,
The second is for businessmen
to engage actively in politics.
The GE. executive believes
that the onlv solution for get
ing this nation out of the mess
in which it now Wallows, is to
line the people up on two sides:
or one side those who advo-
cate and believe in something
nothing; on the other,
those who know that this is a
something -for-something life.
And Mr.. Boulware has great
faith in the common sense of
the average American - when
he knows the truth. Il am en-
couraged as never before TO
believe that people are ready
to understand the fallacy of
something-for- or-nCthing. robbing

Dear Sir:
have read several articles in
The Journal that encouraged
local residents to do business
with the local merchants. And
/ have always thought it was
best to patronize the local mer-
chant whenever possible.
However if the local school
board believes in this policy (and
some of them are local business
mem, they must think it is a
one way street.
The boiler operator of the
grade school resigned this last
week. Although the superinten-
dent and some members of the
school board were told that two
licensed boiler operators were
out of work. no effect was ever
made to let them know that
there was a job open or to see
if they were interested in the
job.
Instead the next day after Mr..
Polling submitted his resignation,
the board held a special meeting
in the morning and hired a man
from Kentucky, a man that does
Mt even have a boiler operators

of John Wargo, Science teacher
in the Belle Valley schools that
Larry Foraker was high in the
county with SO questions answer
ed correctly out of 60 in the Cen
eral Science test, given during
the General Scholarship tests IN

A check at the Summerfield

Larry A. Crum answered cor

which we would consider tops IN
the county.
The Summerfield student was
one of 80 students from 22.7l7
Ohio high school seniors who
answered correctly between %
to SO of the 60 questions asked
in the Science test. This ranks
him in the goth percentile of the

1t will also be recalled that
young Crum ranked the highest

part has been developed Tor
the Army's fleet of liaison
planes and helicopters.
Details Of the system, known
as "AN/APN-118," were made
public today by the Army
Signal Corps, which worked
with the Sperry Gyroscope Co..
in developing the lightweight
outfit.
The whole system weighs 100
pounds, or slightly more than
half the weight of other in
struments capable of doing a
comparable job, according to
the Signal Corps.
Its neutrality-suspicious. cost
is questionable, according to
Army officials, but probably
would range somewhere be-
tween $780, and 100000.
Heart of the system is a
gyroscopic compass of extreme
accuracy, and its brain is a
miniature computer with an
electronic memory" Direct
readout meters much like the
trip meter on an automobiles
dashboard give the pilot Incl
dental information about his
progress. but the real picture
of his whereabouts is given to
him usually on a map no more
complicated than an oil COM
pany's road map.
Developers of the system
claim it is jamproof and utterly
independent of outside naviga-
ton aids. It can be adapted,
however, to work in connection
with such existing aids as the
military TACAN and the ci-
william VOR systems.
To use the system, the pilot
simply inserts the proper map
into the display section of the
machine. and sets the computer
to take him to his destination.
From this point on the brain
work is done by the little black
box.
AS the plane flies along, tiny
accelerometers, a radar weigh
ing only 40 pounds and the
gyrocompaSS feed information
into the computer. It stores and
remembers" data about winds
ground speed and course, and
causes a pointer to travel across
the face Of the map, which is
directly in the pilots view, or
his lap. The pointer indicates
the airplane's true position.
Signal Corps officials said the
system could be used in fixed.

WarnsonArms

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. IA (AP). - President
Adolfo Lopez Mateos of Mexico
warned the United Nations to-
day that a buildup of arms to
save peace can end only in war.
He said the future of the
United Nations depends upon q
solution to the problem of dis
armament.
In a speech before the 81
nation General Assembly he
declared:
History teaches quite clearly
that 1t is an illusion to believe
that peace can be won and
supported by instruments Of
war. We know that ultimately
these weapons, accumulated
with a desire to avoid war, will
threaten peace and then ir-
reparably shatter it,"
Mr.. Lopez Mateos said the
big powers possessing weapons
of mass destruction are "in
honor bound to desist from
using them"
Peace is and must be pos
sible-simply because we cam
not do without it," he added.
The Mexican leader came
here from talks in Washington
with President Eisenhower. He
was a guest of the U. N. and
the city of New York.
He said the U. N. must find
"a courageous and honest way
in which we can overcome the
instinct Of domination-the de-
sire to prevail, to subject, to
overrule-that for so long has
been the prime motive of many
a powerful country"
He declared one Of the
deeper causes Of war is the
tremendous gap between
countries that have advanced
further in their process of de-
velopment and the rest Of the
world that naturally Graves fog
