MEMORY SELECTION -
And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them
who are the called according
to his purpose. - Romans
8:28.) The life of Joseph
beautifully illustrates Romans
8:28. Joseph loved the Lord
and he knew how to take ev-
erything as from the Lord,
manifesting the spirit of Christ
at all times. All things are
not good, neither do all things
work together for good to all
people, because they do not
love God and are not in His
will. Though all things are
not good, yet they may work
together for good if we love
God and are in His will. God
will not allow anything to
come into the life of the per
son He has called and who
loves Him, that will not work
for his good, but He will make
it work together for good. In
world of trials and sorrows
it is good to be a lover of the
Lord and to live in the divine
plan for ones life.
JOSEPH REASSURES HIS
BROTHERS THEY HAVE
BEEN FORGIVEN: The broth
ers of Joseph could not live
down the evil they had done
to him. When their father
Jacob died they made sure
this was the time Joseph would
paw them back for their evil
deeds. This made them very
uncomfortable. For all along
they had relied upon their
father for the peace and as
surance they enjoyed. But now
that their father was no
longer with them, they were
without their prop. They had
to stand alone. They found
themselves without that Sc
curity necessary to make them
feel at east with Joseph. This
is true in life today. Too Of
ten we build our hope and
faith upon some temporal fac
tor and when it is removed we
are insecure and lost. With
such a feeling prevailing In
their hearts and mind, the
brothers knew they could
never be at ease. They de-
cided to do something to re-
lieve them of this tension and
fear. They sent this message
to Joseph, "Your father gave

Rate Of Lung Cancer
|Hiqher In Great Britain

NEW YORK (UPD-"Dimp-
ing or decking" may explain
the challenging fact that the
rate of lung cancer is much
higher in Great Britain than in
the United States although the
cigaret smoking rate is about
the same.
So believes a team of British
medical investigators and sta
~tisticians who looked into
dumping" and decking
among 1000 Englishmen. To
"dimp" or to "deck" is to snuff
out a cigaret and save the butt
for relighting. The Britishers
believed there is very little Of
that in America.
But among their 1000 English
men there was a lot of it.
Among the 667 who had lung
disorders other than cancer
1871 per cent had the habit, and
among the 1888 men with lung
cancer, 53.2 per cent had it.
Another Factor Suggested
The difference in lung cancer
incidence among British and
American men is challenging to
the scientists who associated
cigaret smoking with lung can
Ger because it suggests some
thing else must be involved -
since the Britishers and Ameri-
cans seem equally addicted to
cigarettes.
Indeed, the British investiga-
tors said this was one of ''two
facts which have not been sat-
isfactorily explained" even
though they believed the evil
dence associating cigaret smok-
ing with lung cancer was cover
%whelming." The other unex-

tients had smoked more for
longer times.
To this usual comparison, the
investigators added those Of
%"dimping' and decking" Sta
tistically speaking, the lung
cancer patients were more per-
sistent about it and had been
for longer. Some relighted the
same cigaret several times and
rarely threw a cigaret away
after only one lighting.

was most closely associated
with lung cancer among the

planned fact, In their thinking,
is why the lung cancer rate Is
higher among city smokers than
rural smokers - in both coun-
tries.
Their 1000 men were all pa
tents of a chest clinic. ALI were
over so years old, all were Gig
aret smokers for 20 years or
longer. The usual statistical

old man early today.
Dead on arrival at Washing
ton Hospital center was Steph-

when a roomer dozed off and
dropped a cigarette on his bed.

tried to extinguish the flames
but was unsuccessful. He said
he ran next door and informed

Crossing Death Brings
New Plea for Gotes

Another fatal train truck
collision in Beltsville, Md, has
brought a renewed plea from
Prince Georges County officials
for gates at particularly dan
gerous crossings.
Frank j. Lastner, chairman
of the county commissioners,
said yesterday he will renew
his ll2-year-old plea for cross
ing gates by contracting the
& Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroads.
His latest reiteration of a
need for gates came after a
Baltimore e. Ohio racetrack
special yesterday collided with
a pickup truck at Odell road,
killing the driver, Paul Louis
Sokolowski, ID, of Enterprise
ROAD, MltchellVllle.
"The railroads have told me
in the past they are not able
to pay (S65,000) for gates"
Mr.. LaStner said.
THE BIO, however, said it
would not object if the county
wanted to install gates at
crossings" Mr.. Lastner said.
A study of railroad crossings
Is now being made for the
county, Mr.. Lastner said. He
recalled he testified before the
Commerce Commits
sion last July at a railroad
crossing hearing held by agency
Evening star., 1963-01-01

officials working on q report
to be released next month.
Mr.. Lastner said he asked
the county public works depart
ment last Friday to widen the
Odell crossing in hope it might
help motorists cross the tracks.
Mr.. Sokoiowski yesterday was
headed for a bank carrying
$4,873 in checks to deposit for
his emloyer, the Pei Bern Elec-
tronic Co. on Old Conway road,
Muirkirk, located la mile from
the accident scene.
County Police Pvt. R. E.
Tague said the truck was NOV
ing across the tracks at the
time Of the crash but its prog
ress apparently was slowed by
the snow and ice.
The engineer of the train was
Robert P. Coulson, 81, of Glen
Burnie, who was headed from
Baltimore toward Washington
at TOTS miles an hour with the
Charles Town special race
train. After picking up addi-
tional passengers in Washing
ton. the train goes to Charles
Town.
Mr.. Sokolowski was killed
instantly in the crash, police
said, adding that the impact
hurled him 231 feet down the
track. The truck was pushed
500 yards down the track,
police said.
