DON'T

Ever wake up in the night with split
ting headache? Or pain in your interior?
And stumble into the bathroom and reach
for bottle in the medicine cabinet? And
gulp down a pill or two, or swallow of
medicine?
Just about all of US, if we're honest, must
answer Yes to such questions And that
means that we've all risked serious-even

fers few simple rules for taking medicine
and they should be read remembered and
observed by every member OF every family.
Never take medicine in the dark-be GER
tain you know what's in the bottle or the
pill box Read the directions carefully be-
fore taking-they are there to protect and
aid you. Don't increase the dose or take it
more often than directed without checking
with your doctor. If the label says "Shake
Before Using, it means it-so shake. Don't
take a medicine prescribed for someone else
this is a case where one mans meat can
be another mans poison. Keep medicines
out of the reach of children. Put the cap
back on the bottle and screw it doWn-some
medicines change strength when exposed to
air. Keep any medicine in its original box
for instance putting sleeping pills in an
aspirin bottle could produce dire effects for
someone in the family.
Simple rules? Easy-to-folloW rules They
certainly are. And they can prevent trou-

The latest news in the continuing war
against cancer comes from Sweden. There
the first large-scale vaccination campaign
against cancer ever performed may be
launched next year.
The first phase of a program for large
scale vaccinations has already been COM
pleted with tests on forty people. A second
test is scheduled to start this month, when
over hundred specially-selected people
will be vaccinated.
During period of seven or eight months
the more than one hundred persons, all be-
tween 60 and 70 years of age, will get four
or five shots of vaccine. If this program is
successful, another group Of more than a
thousand people will be vaccinated.
The vaccine has nothing to do with the
treatment of cancer. 1t is intended to Stim-
ulate the antibody response against cancer
in human cells.
Earlier experiments have shown that
cancer cells contain a specific substance
which can be used to produce an antibody,
effective against cancer cells, according to
Doctor Bertil Bjoerklund, Of Stockholm, who
is in charge Of the vaccinations.
Dr. Bjoerklund, who is head of the i'm
neurological research laboratory in Stock
holm, believes the vaccinations are an i'm
portant test in the long fight against can
GER and that chances of success are real
1t is an encouraging note and every
one will hope that the vaccinations prove
successful.

NEW CAN

Philadelphia firm has just recently
announced that after an expenditure of
over million dollars in nine years of re
search it has developed can that will open
without can opener. We can now prOphesy
that can openers may soon become tool
of the past and probably within the next
ten years you will be asked by some child
to explain what use was made of such an
object.
The new can is opened by tab which
is pried up and pulled to remove the top.
1t is reported that this maneuver works
easily and that it is very convenient for
replacing the top and storing food for re-
frigeratiOn or otherwise.
The advantages of such can are many,
but certainly one of the most desirable is
the removal of sharp or jagged edges of
the can. Each family has seen at least one
of its members receive cuts from sharp
can edge.
These new cans are to be marketed dur
ing the next year and will cost the u. S.
housewife about one cent more than the
cans presently being used on the market.

work out the entire scheme, and

AuToMATiON MEANS MORE SPARE
TIME
1t doesn't seem TO me that We
are going too fast, everything con-
sidered 1t cannot be denied that
We in America are materially and
spiritually better off than the peo-
pie of the backward nations who
have not yet had any such ma
chimes 1t might also be said that
no workers in the worlds history
ever had more healthful and at
tractive working conditions or re-
ceived better pay than our work
ers today 1t is the machine that
has helped to bring about this
prosperity, and newer and more
amazing machines will bring still
more in the years to come.
| am particularly impressed by
the fact that high-velocity ma
chinery and all forms of automa-
tion mean and will continue to
mean steadily more spare time
for workers There will be great
er opportunity for enjoyment of
the home and the family, for
pleasant and healthy do-it-your-
self pursuits. Even more import
ant: Perhaps we can all employ
some of this increasing spare time
to cultivate the spiritual values
which we may have been neglect
ing while building up purely ma

Dear Friends:

the burning of the Christmas
trees. Dawn's scout troop was

THE MARCH OF FREEDOM

In recent days, newspapers all over the
United States have been editorializing on
the extreme political positions both left and
right. Some may view these extremes with
alarm, but it is in the best American ira
dition that all people have a freedom of
speech and freedom to air their views and,
similarly, that others have the right to
question those views.
We have seen our country pictured as a
nation on the brink of disaster with only a
few chOices-appeasemen or war; suicide
or surrender Others claim the u. S. is bad
ly diseased and being eaten by cancer from
within. Each extreme rallies some group
who is ready to do its chores.
There is little question that we in the
U. S. live in an historical generation with
many problems, and that our country faces
many troubled areas. We have in America
about six per cent of the worlds population,
and we are going to find that it is not poss-
ible for us to win an American solution to
every problem. 1t is possible, however, to
eventually show the world the meaning of a
real freedom, as opposed to communist die
tatorial government. There is certainly no
easy victory in sight, or is there any prob
able or necessary defeat in store for u.s.
Let us keep level heads and realize that we
are engaged in a long, hard road ahead in
mankind's pursuit for freedom and let us
remain calm and resOlute in our united at
tainment of world goals.

The sheer volume of machines

incredible, and still employment

due to an exploding population, a

OUR DEMOCRACY

In these perleXing times, when many
sincere citizens are so aroused and emotion
ally stirred that they think the democracy
OF our country is about to collapse, and that
the people around then1-many of them
are consciously or uncOnsciOusly serving
the communist cause, it may be we'll to
keep in mind several things.
Democracy evolved over a long period,
as the system guaranteeing to the individ-
ual the right of dissent 1t is system Of
government by the majority with minority
rights. 1t is the system whereby one may
disagree with another, while at the same
time being willing to die for the others
right to disagree.
We do not wish to curtail the very free
dom which distinguishes our form of gov
ernment from the communist tyranny. And
it should be reassuring to all those who
have faith in our great system to know that
there are few in America who favor the
cause OF communism.
Our country will not collapse The great
majority are patriotic and would die for
democracy if that became necessary. Diff
ferences in views on legislation, how much
government is the best amount should not
be confused with patriotism or un-Ameri-
canism or communism. Our people have
differed on these same issues since the Re-
public was founded.

THE WELFARE FARCE
The various welfare programs of the
states and the federal government carry a
great number of free-loaders and lazy in
dividuals who prefer to draw welfare rath-
er than work. This, of course, is natural
to some degree-and possibly never could

leaders, with a decision overturning twelve
Of %h0 CO. %,c~I4
latlOnS Of the City of NeWburgh, n. Y.
1t may be remembered that the govern
ing authorities in that city became so ex-
aSperated with the lOafers and the lazy
that a greatly tightened welfare quaifca-
tion program was announced. A court
battle followed, as both federal and state
agencies and authorities went to war
against the Newburgh Plan.
Among the frightened regulations which
the New York State court decision recently
overturned were the following provisions
/. Welfare payments were to be issued
in voucher form. All. All able-bodied males
on relief were to report to the City Public
Works Department. 3. Those reliefers who
refused employment were to lose welfare
payments.
4. Unwed mothers were to be advised
that further illegitimate children would not
get welfare payments. 5. Relief applicants
who voluntarily quit their jobs were not to
get welfare payments.
6. The total allotment for any one fam
lily was not to exceed the take-home pay of
the lowest-paid city employee with family
of comparable size. T. New relief appli-
cants were to prove they came to the city
with firm job offers or relief was not to
exceed one week. 8. Aid to be limited to
three months in the year, except for the
aged, blind and disabled.
An examination of these eight rules
(there were four others which were over
turned) will show that they are designed to
encourage industriousness, discourage laz-
mess, idleness and a willingness to draw
relief rather than work.

Momie's Running
Our Of BoYfriends
! Dead; 2 jailed

Philadelphia (ANP) - Mamie
has something that makes men kill
for her.
Two years ago, Henry ]. Black,
SO, then the boyfriend of 27-year-
old Mamie Butler, killed David
Frabier in a fight over her affec-
tions and is now languishing in
Jail.
Last week, Lloyd Black, who
succeeded his brother, Henry in
her affections, stabbed James
Dortch, 33, to death in a brawl
over the bewitching Mamie. Lloyd
also stabbed and seriously wounded
Sol Dortch who intervened in an
effort to defend her brother.
In the latest bloody conclusion
of a romance, Mamie was to blame.
According to police, Lloyd be-
came enraged when he discovered
James Dortch wearing a ring he
had given Mamie.
Mamie's involvement with Dortch
began while Lloyd was serving a
prison term for forgery.
So in the short space of two
years, Mamie has lost three boy
friends. Henry Black is in Jail.
James Dortch is dead and Lloyd
Black is in Jail awaiting trial and
will probably join his brother in
the state penitentiary.

Most Influential
Negro Is Bunche
Soy Wash. Newsmen

Washington, DC. - UN Under
secretary Ralph Bunche was picked
as the most influential Negro in
America by 500 top Washington
correspondents, virtually all of
them white, according to an article
in the February EBONY Mag
azine.
In a poll taken by the maga-
zines Washington Editor Simeon
Booker, Bunche polled the highest
(23%) followed by the Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr. (19%), Thurgood
Marshall (17%) and Robert c.
Weaver (5%(.
Bunche ran No. 1 even though
many correspondents refused to
consider him as a Negro leader.
Said one correspondent: IT think
of DR.. Bunche as an American
leader who happens to be Negro" I"
Other names listed included DC.
Commissioner John B. Duncan,
Housing aide Walter Washington,
Deputy Assistant Secretary Of
State Carl Rowan and NAACP
Head Roy Wilkins. CORE leader
James Farmer received no votes.
Although well known to Washing
ton correspondents and with ma
tional regulations as Negro polite
ians, Reps. William L. Dawson,
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and
Charles Diggs were also-rans in
the poll, EBONY says.
Other questions included in the
poll were: How do you rate Presi-
dent Kennedy in the area of civil
rights? ? Do you regard civil rights
as a major national problem? Do
you feel Negro leadership con-
centrates too much on civil rights
Do you feel the Negro vote is over
played? What advance do you re-
gard as the most important for
Negroes in the past few years?
