it would be possible to determine
who was responsible for the pro-
gram.

Watkins asked for an was grant
ed time on the Sunday evening
program, to present the opposite
side of the aid question. He point

its reasons for the program when
it was begun in 1947, and at that
time it was the price we paid for
its neutrality in keeping commun-
ism out of Greece and Turkey, and
that the government is now re-
examsining the situation. He urg-
ed that the decision be left to the
state department.
Otto Habedank, Sidney attorney,
his refusal to endorse
Resolution 8, saying he was not
willing to have government offic-
ials removed or impeached, since
not enough facts were available
to support such a decision.

volunteered their personal opin-
ions, which were unanimously op-
posed to the aid program.

WOMAN'S CLUB
TO SPONSOR PROGRAM
ON UTERINE CANCER

The Sidney Woman's Club has
announced that they will sponsor
a program on "Uterine Cancer"

program will be Conquer Utter
inc Cancer" and a film appro-
pirate to the theme, entitled
thine and Two Women" will be
shown on the program.
The primary objective of this
~life-saving program, the Ameri-
can Cancer Society says, "Will be
to get every woman in Richland
County to have a health checkup
and a Pap smear examination as
the first step toward a life long
habit of annual health examina-
ton" The goal of the program is
the eventual control of uterine
cancer.
The death rate from uterine cam
Ger has gradually dropped 500 in
recent years but the Pap smear
technique for early detection
makes an almost 1907 drop pos
sible. Despite this fact some
$4,000 women are annually -dieillg
Of uterine cancer"
The progress of organizations
in Richland county in this drive
will be reported to the national
headquarters of The American
Cancer Society and those having
the largest percentage OF Pap
examination tests among their
membership will receive awards.
The Pep smear examination
for detection of early uterine can
Ger, or even conditions which
might lead to uterine cancer, has
been called a major break
through in the control of cancer.
The Pap technique is a simple,
painless examination which pro-
vides the pathologist with cast
off cells for study under the
microscope for possible cancer
cells.

Der 81. in the Moose Hall in Sid
ney, Montana, Monday from z

ton, Inc; and R. w. Worcester

Helena.
DR.. Chapel told of the research
on cattle nutrition and the success
gained with the use of stilbestrol,
which he said has been most sue
cessful when used with high en-
ergy rations such as barley. He
said that later research has found
the meat of cattle fed stilbestrol
to be entirely safe for food, and
that recent trends in research
are toward the relation of nutri-
ton to disease problems in live
stock.
Mr.. Hickman told of the beef
production program of Armour &
Co., in which they try to produce
beef to fit consumer demand.
Through improved breeding the
company is aiming at producing
cattle which will provide 1870 of
the meat cuts, from the hind quar-
ter. The present national aver
age is only 47%. Success in such
breeding will mean thousands of
dollars more to the livestock in
dustry, Hickman said.
Mr.. Dastrup told Of new deve-
lopments in the use of systemic
insecticides for grub control, and
urged more careful use of prod
ding instruments, which can cause
injury to animals, particularly in
loading. These can cause bruis-
ing, with resultant loss in income.
