Polio Victims Found
Filled With Courage
Atlanta (U.R) Clyde Duncan
is the final link in two ways be
tween polio victims and the
world as most people know it.
The 22-year-o 1 d ambulance
driver meets polio victims at the
city airport and two Atlanta
railroad stations. Thus he is the
last person they see before enter
ing the Warm Springs clinic for
treatment, and when he brings
them back he is the last person
they see before flying or entrain
ing back to normal life.
It doesn't depress Duncan to
eome in daily contact with vic
tims of the dread disease. He
said it gives him a "daily glimpse
of hope and courage."
He married a pretty infantile
paralysis victim, the former
Doris Rednour of Mount Vernon,
111, He met her at union station
here in November, 1947, while
taking her to Warm Springs.

"Is it too Late, Doctor?"
SOONER OR LATER, one out of every five living
Americans may ask his doctor this question about cancer.
The answer may be: "Yes ...I'm afraid so..."
But, today, the doctor can say to increasing numbers of
cancer victims, "No, it is by no means loo late . . . There is

THIS heartening reply reflects
the great progress of medical
science against cancer. And there
is every reason to believe that, as
the years go by, the ancient dream
of conquering this disease in all
its forms will be realized.
Cancer research supported by
the American Cancer Society has
already yielded new surgical tech
niques and improved methods of
using x-ray and radium. More
recently, research with radio
active isotopes has revealed facts
about processes heretofore com
pletely hidden in the body's cells.
It has also given scientists new
knowledge of hormones and cer
tain anti-cancer drugs thus mak
ing possible more effective control
of some types of cancer.

Visiting American Doctor Finds Japanese Hospitals

umph over cancer will come. But
it will come only through con
tinuing research in physics,
chemistry, biology, and medicine.
Thousands of trained minds and
an arsenal of complex and
expensive laboratory equipment
must be kept at work until the
fight is won.
Part of the money you donate
will support research that may
save millions of lives. Won't you
give and give generously so
that sometime in the future doc
tors may never have to face an
other patient and say: "I'm afraid
it's loo late?"
Remember: Cancer can strike
anyone, but you can strike back.
There's hope if you give for re
search and the other vital activities
of the American Cancer Society.

it this way:
Won't Prevent War
"We have come to the conclu

set up here in 1929 that outlaw
ing war won't prevent it. Instead,
we are looking for the cause of
war and conditions of peace. We
are trying to 'isolate' the 'germs'

head of the department of polit
ical science at the University of
Washington.
"We have come to the conclu
sion that the civilized world
cannot survive another war, Dr,
Martin said, 'so we must find
a means of preventing war. It's
not an answer we'll find during
this meeting, by any means. But
we are trying to sow the seeds
of the idea of finding a way of
preventing wars.
Impressed With Work
The history of the foundation
began when Salmon O. Levinson,
prominent Chicago attorney, set
up a $50,000 endowment for the
Borah foundation in 1929. He
was greatly impressed with the
work of the late Sen. Borah
from Idaho in his efforts to out
law war.
It is said that Levinson sold
the idea of outlawing war to
Aristide Briand. French minis
ter of foreign affairs, who was
co-author of the Kellogg-Briand
pact for outlawing war. A total
of 62 leading world powers
signed the pact in 1929.
Levinson also talked with Bo
rah who aided in getting the
support of Secretary of State
Frank B. Kellogg in drawing up
the international pact.
Annual Meetings
Th foundation held sporadic
meetings during its early years.
It was not until 1948 that it be
gan a program of regular annual
meetings with Dr. Martin as
chairman.
Martin says the foundation is
trying to draw in physical and
biological scientists to find out
what their thinkers can do to
helo further peace.
we are trying to go at this
problem scientifically. Dr. Mar
tin says, "with the attitude that
war is the greatest menace to
society today."

386.000 divorces.
Marriages and divorces were
at their highest level in the coun

riages have dropped 30.8 per cent
and divorces 36.7 per cent.
12.S Per Cent Drop
The provisional total for 1949
is 12.5 per cent below the final
total of 1.811,155 marriages in

the 1949 estimate of 386,000 is
5.4 per cent below the final es
timate of 408.000 in 1948.
The health service figures
that there were 10.7 marriages
per 1.000 population in 1949, the
lowest since 1939. the rate for
1948 was figured as 12.4 mar
riages per 1,000 population.

the U. S. Coast Guard reserve,
from Davis in the neighborhood
of San Francisco, will cross the
Atlantic this summer ajorig the
so-called southern way, the
route which Columbus followed.
His starting point will be Man
dal, the southernmost Norwegian
town, where his ship, the 33-foot
sea cruiser Fortuna II, was built.
Lt. Deal arrived in Mandal to
supervise the fitting out of For
tuna II. She is a beautiful ship
built of Oregon pine on oaken
ribs, rigged with one foresail,
mainsail and topsail. She also
has a small auxiliary motor.
Deal will leave Mandal with a
fellow-American and a Norwe
gian sailor on board and sail
south along the Swedish coast,
through the Kiel canal and the
English channel into the Bay of
Biscay.
Before making the "big jump"
he will cruise in the Mediterra
nean for a month or two and
then proceed to the Madeiras,
which is his last port before the
Atlantic crossing.
Deal plans to land somewhere
on the northeastern coast of
South America and then sail
through the Caribbean Sea,
north along the American east
ern coast and to New York.
