point where it is affecting certain
investments. Therefore, / feel that
my readers are due an impartial
summary of the situation. | have
always watched Cuba critically as
it is so close to Florida, where
have spent over thirty winters.
Influence Of The Catholic Church
l feel that the Cuban situation
will come out satisfactorily due. to
the Influence of the Catholic
Church. The Cuban people, with
their Spanish blood, are emotional
and enjoy political and physical
fights. They, however, are deeply
Roman Catholic in faith. Hence,
there is church safeguard which
does not exist in Russia or in
many of her satellites.
The Communist Government in
Russia has been brutal to the
Christian church, due largely to
its inheritance of the former Gar
ist domination which controlled
and worked through the orthodox
Church. The situation in Cuba,
therefore, is entirely different from
the situation in Russia and its
satellites.
Importance OF Marketability
Cuba is rich in soil, rainfall, sun
shine, and warm temperatures. 1t
could be the gardenspot of the
Americas; but it has been cursed
by wretched and unjust govern
ment. Castro thinks it necessary
only to nationalize the farms,
businesses, banks, and the few
manufacturing establishments; he

Peace Through
Preparedness

The title of this article is the
theme of Civil Defense Day, which
the Nation observes on December
z, Pearl Harbor Day. We think it
most fitting that Civil Defense
Day and Pearl Harbor Day be OBJ
served together. The sneak attack
which plunged us into World War
Ill serves as a grim reminder that
we must never again relax our
vigilance.
In this nuclear age, attack with
out warning could strike our
country, and millions could die
even while our superior military
forces were destroying the enemy.
Though modern weapons could
kill millions of Americans, most of
our people could survive if they
have fallout shelters.
Director Leo A. Hoegh of the Of
flee of Civil and Defense Mobiliza-
tion, in keynoting Civil Defense
Day, calls these home fallout shell
ters "the lowest cost family in
surance which can be obtained"
Costs range from $3.50 for "do-
it-yourself" shelter to $500 for a
custom-made shelter that also SER
yes a growing family's need for an
extra room.
He suggests that to be prepared,
you should know and take action on
five fundamentals:
1. Know warning signals. A
steady blast OF three to five min
utes means attack probable; take
action as directed by local govern
ment." A wailing tone or short
blasts for three minutes means
attack imminent take cover
Immediately in best available
shelter"
2. Know your community plan
for emergency action.
8. Be prepared to, protect your
self against radioactive fallout.
This means having home shelter.
Your local Civil Defense Office has
free instructions for inexpensive
shelters, or you can obtain a free
copy by writing to Box Home Shell
ter. Battle Greek. Michigan. Store
a two-weeks supply of food, water
and other essential items and
equipment
4. Know first aid
5. Know Conelrad and have a
battery-powered radio set. The
Conelrad stations operating on $40
or 1240 on your radio dial, will
give you local emergency instruct
ions.
It's as sensible and simple as
that. Civil Defense Day should re-
mind all of us the need for these
important survival preparations.
To not take these basic self-pro-
tective measures is to gamble with
your life. Don't neglect civil de-
Tense preparedness in your home.

that little two year old has quite

GOING FORWARD

Quite lot has been heard in this cam
paign about "going forward" That doesn't
impress us. This country is going forward
no matter who is President In the United
States, it's the people, not the President,
who furnish the motive power and deter
mine the pace. They do, that is, if they re-
tain the freedom to make their own decis-
ions and to take the initiative
A very real danger when "going for
ward" becomes political issue, is that we
will, automatically assume that the govern
ment will do all the leading, will determine
just what percentages of annual growth we
should have, and will take the necessary
steps to achieve the goal. In other words,
government will give the orders and we, the
people, will obey. That is the way things
are done in relationships. But if they're
done that way here, We'll be through as a

mere fulfilling of a County job.

WHAT IS CANCER?
Cancer, in whatever body
tissue it arises, is the process OF
cell growth gone out Of control.
Normal cell growth in the
human body takes place when
one cell divides into two cells
which, in turn, divides into four,
and so on, until the billions Of
cells are formed which make up
the human body.
Once the body Is fully grown,
this process Is normally limited
to replacing old or damaged
cells. For example, IL you cut
your finger, new cells are rap.
idly built to fill the gap. But
when the cut is healed, the
growth stops. This Is growth
under control.
In cancer, on the other hand.
cells multiply without purpose.
They form tumors that destroy
normal cells. Occasionally, some
cancer cells break off from the
parent tumor and spread to
other parts Of the body. Once
this happens, it is next to inn
possible to track down all the
