This information was brought out in a motion picture, "The Cell," showed to Kiwanis club members nd in literature distributed at the club's meeting Tuesday noon in the Hotel Umpqui. The film was shown by Miss La vinia Fulton, county health nurse. in cooperation with Dr. E. J. Wains-! cott, county health officer. The motion pictures showed the I composition and action ol cells, described as the basis of all ex istence and the smallest living or ganism. The growth of cells in the human body under normal circum stances was first shown, and then the growth of unnatural cells, or cancerous growths were illustrated. The literature pointed out that cancer is not a disease of the or dinary type not a germ not con- ! tagious nor communicable it is ! not inherited, although the ten i dency to develop may be inher- itcd. Cancer deaths are expected j to xcd 175,000 persons, 83,000 of whom will be men, in tne uniiea States this year. Early recognition of the symp toms of cancer and prompt atten tion by a physician may save many lives, it was brought out. Dr. Wainscott, who is chairman of the Kiwanis underprivileged chil dren's work, reported that 18 cases have been cared for and that three or tour tonsilectomies on children have been performed without cost to the patients. Cases are carefully screened and only thos which can- "Blondlt" Comic Strips Delayed By Rail Strike "Blondie" comic strip readers are asked to force a smile for just a few days longer and the famous strip will again appear in The News-Keview.

Soldier's Gripe Kept From Public Record WASHINGTON - V A gripe from a soldier in Korea saying "to hell with a country" that sends un trained youths into combat was put into the congressional record and almost immediately withdrawn. It was- relayed to the House by Rep. Tackett (D-Ark) in the form of a letter which he said came from an Arkansas national guardsman now serving as a master sergeant in Korea. Tackett did not identify the writer but said the guards man comolained about untrained youths being sent into combat while trained regulars remain in the United States. Tackett withdrew tne letter ana his own remarks after Rep. Cox (D-ga) said it might furnish "headlines to the Russian press." "I am fearful" Tackett explained in seeking permission to withdraw the letter, "that the remarks made might be of some service to the enemy."

American Soldier In Korea Under Far Less Strain Than Civilian In United States Bv HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) Coming back from Korea to America today is a disturbing adventure. It is a voyage from an uneasy war to an uneasy peace. The soldier there is less tenseinmany ways than is the ci vilian here. That is a startling first impression to one returning to the United States after more than half a year in the Far East war theater. When you are in a battle area, home be comes a shining paradise you long to get back to. You for get it has fly specks. School Patrols Prove Effective The work of Oregon school pa trols apparently is paying off, ac cording to a recently completed study by stale highway department accident analysis. Accidents involving school age pedestrians were cut 50 percent in the first six months of 1950' as compared with the same period in 1949, the report shows. Only 1.2 percent of all school age pe destrian victims were struck at crossings guarded by police of ficers or school patrols, with no resulting fatalities. In 1949, a 2.4 percentage was recorded. More than 100 such patrols are now in operation to supervise the street crossing actions of other youngsters, under an accelerated program sponsored jointly by the secretary of state's office and the highway department with the ac tive assistance ot state and local police. . The study listed 193 school bus accidents during the school year 1949-50, 136 of which took place on rural roads and highways.

And no one knows Una better than Mr. Ben E.

Yea, 7"t 3 twenty . seven f 't years is a long U M to feel notch o n to Btn E. Nix keen coins. Foe a while Mr. Nix didn't feel much like eating, and was just gen erally rundown. He hall heard a lot about HADACOL, but just didn't quite believe it. Finally, he decided to give it a trial and was amazed at the results. He started feeling better after the first bot tle and says he is going to con tinue taking HADACOL. Mr. Nix found that HADACOL contained Vitamins Bl, B2, Niacin and Iron which his system lacked. Here is Mr. Nix's own statement: "Sometime ago a friend of mine recommended HADACOL very highly to me. At the beginning I was very much amused at the thought of HADACOL. However, I did decide to give it a fair trial, and to my amazement, it helped me greatly. 1 was rundown, tired and had no appetite. After the first bottle of HADACOL, I felt better. My appetite had picked up, and I really felt like eating at mealtime for the first time in a long time. I feel that the Vita mins and Minerals, which HADA COL contains, have built up my rundown condition, and I intend to continue using HADACOL." But I suppose the extraordinary tension here, so surprising at first glance, is only normal, considering the troubled times. Nothing causes tension more than uncertainty. The soldier in Korea is more relaxed in some ways than the civilian here because he basically knows better what to expect. On the next hill, or the hill beyond the next hill, are en emy Chinese or North Korean Reds, and he must fight them. But the American civilian is beset bv nameless fears about his clouded future. He doesn't know for sure what is coming across his horizon next, and the shadows he sees are black indeed. The chief worry everybody seems to have is, "I don't know what to plan for." That goes for the teen-age boy, the old couple caught between a fixed pension and rising prices, and businessmen who don't know whether they will be able to go on making buttons or have to start turning out gre nade pins. Tension With Prosperity Everywhere thre are signs of a tremendous prosperity, enriching more people than any other period of good limes in history. More peo ple have more money to spend than ever before. And as vet there is more to buy with it than ever before. But it is a tasteless prosperity, a banquet of plenty under that new sword of Damocles the atom bomb. There is a widening fear that the bomb will fall and the roof cave in, destroying the banquet and the diners. The greatest shock of my re turn home came when 1 entered the elevator to ride up to my apart ment. The first thing I saw was a poster telling what to do in t h e event' of an air raid. That jolted me. A year ago it would have been thought silly to put up air raid warnings in Manhattan. Another thing that struck me was this: a profound disillusion ment with the United Nations and a tendency to make it the scape goat of our own uncertainty. Few soldiers in Korea spend much time debating the shortcomings of the United Nations. But I don't recall any blaming it for the present plight of the world. No Buying Panic There has been a deep hardening of purpose here in the last six months. It stands out amid all the half-serious joking about food shortages and black markets. "I've got plenty to eat put away in my freezer," said one father. "But I've got two boys of draft age, and I can't hide them in mv cellar. And if Ihe country needs them I wouldn't want to stand in the way." "They are already beginning to put things under the counter 1 n some stores," said the taxi driver who drove me home. "But I'll give people credit for one thing. There hasn't been a buying panic this time, and I don't think there will be. People are acting more like people ought to." I thought that was the best trib ute that could be paid to our country, as it readies its vast power against whatever trials the next few months or years may bring. And it's a wonderful feeling to come back to a land that is still free and the home of the brave. BUSINESS MEN! Flegel's have the equipment for heavy moving and freighting.
