plotting this fact to improve
X-ray treatment.
Throughout the United
States groups of surgeons are
testing the effects of drugs
given during and after cancer
operations. The hope is that
the drugs will kill off seed
cells" which might escape into
the bloodStream. Some pre-
liminary reports are impress
siVe; in other cases. prepara-
tiOnS so far used have been
without effect.
Drugs Help Some
A growing number of pa
tients who are beyond salvage
by surgery or radiation are be-
ing helped by drugs. Some
preparations seem not only to
improve the patients condition
for varying periods but to give
a new lease on life. Drug tox-
icity in some cases has been
overcome by administering an
antidote along with the drug.
But while progress has been
made in the difficult problem
of controlling cancer, those
closest to it are by no means
satisfied. They feel that re-
search laboratories. now mobi-
lized in a mighty effort. will
produce much more help for
cancer patients.
A great deal of cancer inves-
tigation is in the field of basic
research. Scientists are trying
to determine the chemical
composition Of a gene, the
function Of an engine, the
role of sugar in cell life, the
mechanisms of natural resist
ance to disease and a hundred
other seemingly academic
problems.
Perhaps any one Of them
could stumble on the key to
cancer control.
Some already have turned up
clues which some day may lead
to cancer cure.
Many years ago one scientist
discovered that cancer cells had
a tendency to ferment sugar.
as yeast cells or bacteria do.
rather than to burn sugars in
oxygen (respiration) as normal
animal and human cells do.
Last year another scientist.
climaXing years of study on cell
chemistry. discovered that an
artificial compound called OK
annie acid suppresses fermenta-
ton without interfering with
respiration. This theoretical
cancer cure" was disappoint-
ing; it proved toxic when tested
in mice. But it may have
opened a new door to the treat
ment Of the disease with other
similar, but less poisonous, prep
arations.
Antibiotics, too, have been
tried. One of the earliest crude
strains of penicillin selectively
destroyed eight different kinds
of cancer growing in test tubes
but did not harm normal cells.
The strain was lost in refining,
and efforts to recover it so far
have failed.

Gently have statisticians paid
much attention.
Death rates per 100, 900 popu-

No one knows why death has
Irelented. The shrouded figure
with the scythe has merely
shifted emphasis to other ways
of dying. If we knew why, we
might then command a new
avenue to the control of cancer.
Lung Cancer Rising
Meanwhile, the death rate
has continued to rise for other
cancers, and the overall prob

The most spectacular and

1t is estimated that 80 per

would not occur if people did

With the season for out
door projects once again in
full swing. it's an ideal time
to point out the great ad-
vantages offered by redwood.
Among all native American
: lumber. redwood stands alone
on so many counts that any
do-it-yourselfer plannin e
work involving wood should
know about these advantages.
Then If he doesn't choose to
use redwood. at least he'll
know what he's missing.
Redwood starts out with a
warm, rich red-brown color.
This color can be maintained
through a clear finish. or it
can be restored with a red
wood stain.
If left alone and permitted
to weather, the color grad
ually changes to a soft.
driftwood shade. This wealth
cred effect, even the in-be-
tween shades during the pro-
cess. is so handsome that
many people prefer it over the
original rich color. So they
speed up the weathering pro-
cess by bleaching.
Very Tough
How is this possible without
protecting the wood? Simple.
Redwood is so tough. for all
practical purposes, it's almost
completely impervious to the
deteriorating effects of sun.
rain and all other types Of
meteorological warfare that
normally cause unfinished
wood to weaken and decay.
It's so durable that experts
estimate unpainted redwood
may be expected to weather
away about one-quarter inch
In a century.
Added to this durability is

extreme resistance to insect
attack - and this includes
termites. There have been
many instances, in termite-
infested tropical areas. where
redwood installations re-
mained sound while other
types of both softwoods and
hardwoods were ravaged by
insects and decay.
The California Redwood As
Sociation quotes an instance
where water tanks made of
redwood put UP by a Philip
pine mining company we're
still in use after 20 years.
while other woods had been
rapidly attacked. They refer
to another case where a red
wood pipe installed by a Ha-
waiian sugar company was
in perfect condition after 80
years.
Home Owners Choice
So it's no surprise that
many home owners consider
redwood a thoroughly won-
derful material for house sid
ing, summer cabins in the
woods, or fences!
1t can't be beaten fol
wooden outdoor furniture, in
case you're planning to make
some chairs and tables for
your family's outdoor living
this summer.
Another example Of red
woods resistance to insect at
tack and decay is found in
the fact that many garden
paths and patio floors are
made with redwood flagStones.
They're different and GER
tainly good-looking.
They're simply one-or-two

James Pearson Named
Senator From Kansas

TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 81
(AP). - Gov. John Anderson
appointed James B. Pearson,
41-year-old former Republican
State chairman, to the United
States Senate today and then
announced his own plans to
seek a second term as Cover
nor.
Gov. Anderson said Mr.. Pear
son of Prairie Village, a Kan
SaS City suburb, will seek the
Republican nomination in Au-
gust for the four-year uneX-
pired portion Of the term of
the late Senator Andrew F.
Schoeppel, also a Republican.
Mr.. PearSon's appointment
puts the Senate lineup at 81
Democrats and SO Republicans.
Senator Schoeppel, a vet
eran conservative Senator, died
January 81 at Bethesda Naval
Hospital of cancer.
The new Senator, a close
personal friend of Gov. Ander-
son, is a native of Nashville,
Tenn, and a graduate of the
University of Virginia Law
School. He also attended Duke
University. He was Gov. An
derson's campaign manager in
the 1860 gubernatorial race.
Mr.. Pearson was a pilot at
the Olathe (Kans.) Naval Air
Station from 1943 to 1916.
After his discharge as a lieu
tenant, he obtained his law
degree at Virginia and returned
to Kansas in 1850 to establish
practice at Mission. He has
lived in the Kansas City area

that the trouble with the Atlas
