Cancer
My mother died of cancer.
In just a few years it changed her from a gay,
lovely woman into one for whom death was a release.
When my mind ranges back to those last years I
find myself cringing slightly from the unhappy mem
ories f rom the sheer waste of talent and joy of which
the disease robbed her. '
ANCER kills people, and it does it cruelly.
It is slowly being conquered, but the progress is
being measured in the lives of children (who also die
of cancer) and of the millions of others stricken by
the mysterious, insidious disease.
It is also being measured in the lives of those now
living who would have died if treated by yesterday's
methods, and in the lives of those who, next year or
the year after, will become ill, and who will be cured
by methods now only guessed at
THHE answer is research; the slow, methodical
testing of theories, the gradual putting-together of
bits and pieces of information, the experimental use
of new drugs, new methods of surgery, new applica
tions of radiation techniques.
Research costs money.
The American Cancer society, which foots the
bill for much of the cancer research being done these
days, is supported by contributions from you and from
me. Its annual drive for funds is now under way, and
will continue through: April.
When I give what I can afford this year, it will
be with the memory of my mother in mind, and with
the hope that my wife and children and I will be
spared through research what she suffered. E.A.
SB 434
Copies of State Senator Philip Lowry's Senate
Bill 434, introduced at the behest of many Jackson
county people who are worried about the increasing
threat of sewage disposal difficulties, have been re
ceived in Medford and studied by many of those most
vitally concerned with the problem, . ,
By and large they approve the bill, both in' gen
eral outline and in the specifics of the operations set
up by the measure. - . .
Tl'VE looked over the 28-page measure,, and find
that a tremendous amount of work has gone into
its preparation. There may be one or two spots in
which minor amendments would solve specific prob
lems, but these are mere details. .
We hope the legislature will have time to consid
er the proposal, and pass it. Some answer along those
lines (and right now it looks like SB 434 provides a
good answer) is desperately needed in Jackson
county.
Senator Lowry and the two Lane county senators,
who, with Representatives
sored the measure, deserve
have done on this important legislation.
They can best be thanked by letters of encour
agement and support with
Why Freedom?
There's one thing that's
that is this:
This country was founded on the theory that there
is no such thing as too much freedom.
THE theory has been denied. It has been contraven
rr Tf Vino Vision rii VV1 of Tf V o c KaAn nocnilorl
But, given a chance, it has worked pretty well.
Over the years we have worked out a system, laid
down in principle and theory by the founding fath
ers, that lets us do pretty much what we want to as
long as we don't harm anyone else doing it.
The system is not popular with those who think
everyone should feel and act and react the way they
do. They would draw up the rules and regulations
for others to live by.
gUT who are the "others?"
They are you and your friends. You are in a minor
ity. Whether you are a Protestant or a Catholic or a
Jew; whether you're English or Scotch or Syrian or
African you belong to a minority.
And remember, if all those who are not Protes
tants or Catholics or Jews or English or Scotch or
Syrians or Africans if all those who form a major
ity of which you are not a member, suddenly decide
that you should follow the rules they lay down for
you, what defense do you have?
MEXT time you feel impelled to say to yourself,
f" "Such-and-such shouldn't be allowed to . . . "
remember that there's someone who feels the same
way about you.
When your neighbor's freedom is infringed, so
is yours. When Jehovahs Witnesses are denied a meet
ing place, the Methodists, under differing conditions,
may be next. When a black man is denied a home,
think what might happen to your friend, whose grand
father happened to be a Russian, if mankind were to
revert to the insanity of war and intolerance.
EACH person must follow his God and his con
science in his own way, or all may be denied that
right.
You can disagree with anyone that's fine, .that
creates a varied and colorful and vivid culture. But
if you take away his rights, you have undercut your
own by. just . that much. And you may be next E.A.

Matter of Fact
STEVENSON AND HARRIMAN
Washington If Adlai Steven
son vants the Democratic nomi
nation, he can have it for the
asking. On this point the shrewd
est observers in the Democratic
party are now agreed. But they
also agree that, if he wants to
run, Stevenson will have to pass
the word soon probably by
September of October.
No one supposes that Steven
son is going to get up on a roof
and shout at the top of his lungs
that he wants
another try at
the White
House. There
are more deli
cate ways of
making his
wishes known.
For ex
ample, a move
is already on
foot to revive
the Citizens
for Stevenson
Stewart Alsop
organization, on a skeletal basis.
But obviously the organization
will not be received without
Stevenson's tacit consent. Or
take the case of Pat Brown, At
torney General of California.
Brown is believed to be the only
Democrat with a chance of beat
ing Republican Sen. Thomas
Kuchel next year.
Brown has let it be known
that he will run only on condi
tion that Stevenson is the standard-bearer.
If he is going to run,
Brown must begin organizing
fairly soon for the primary con
test. Thus, if Brown decides to
run, or if the Citizens for Steven
son movement is revived, this
will be taken by the initiated as
a sure sign that Stevenson is go
ing to try again.
There are plenty of other
signal flags which Stevenson can
hang out, and which the initiated
can read without a code book.
If the signal flags spell "yes"
and if they are hung out fairly
soon that will be that, in the
now almost universal opinion
among infon 1 Democrats.
This is not because Stevenson
is universally loved in his Party.
He is not. But he is at least
reasonably acceptable to most
sections of the Party more so
than any other candidate pres
ently visible. Thus a fight, in
evitable in the case of any other
candidate, ca.. be avoided if
Stevenson "goes,"
A NOTHER reason why Steven
son can have the nomination
for the asking if he asks soon
enough is that the prize is
not thought to be worth a great
deal. The great majority of
Democrats privately believe that,
in a repeat of the 1952 race,
Stevenson would be beaten
again, perhaps worse than last
time. But they think anyone else
would be beaten worse than
Stevenson.
Suppose the Stevenson signal
flags read "no but I'm for
Averell Harriman." Thev are
much more likely to read this
way than a simDle "no." Accord
ing to reliable report, on their
recent gettogether in Albany,
Stevenson and New York's Gov.
Harriman reached an unspoken
agreement by a sort of mental
telepathy. This telepathic under
standing, put into words, might
read about as follows:
Hatriman: I'm for you if you
run, Adlai, but I'm for myself
if you don't.
Stevenson: I'm for you if I
don't
Stevenson might well be
able to put Harriman across, if
he had a mind to. As Governor
of the biggest state, after all,
Harriman has a perfectly legiti
mate claim. He has a useful
habit of success. And with
Stevenson out, the Northern pro
fessionals, like New York's Car
mine DeSapio, Pittsburgh's
Mayor David Lawrence, Con
necticut's John Bailey, and Rich
ard Daley of Chicago (who looks
like becoming Stevenson's long
sought James Farley), would be
most likely to agree on Harri
man. And they might well have
the votes to nominate him, over
the opposition of the South.
But suppose that the Steven
son signal flags read, "I haven't
made up my mind yet," and con
tinue to read that way month
after month. Then, the situation
is likely to start coming aoart at
the seams. For Democratic ob
servers agree that there is a
point beyond which Stevenson
cannot hold back and that
point is not many months away.
IF STEVENSON delays, too

WIND BLOWS GOOD
Los Angeles (U.R) An ill
wind blew $8 in bills out of the
hands of student Fred Glusman,
18, as he left a restaurant with
three friends. They recovered
$6 after a prolonged chase but
were about to give up when an
other gust blew a $5 bill into
Glusman's hands, putting him
S3 ahead.
DUCK BRINGS TROUBLE

Willie May Alexander as an of

police said, spurned his affection
after accepting the duck. He al
legedly returned, took the duck

lary charges. The duck got away.
By Stewart Alsop
riman, for example, cannot af
ford to wait indefinitely for
Stevenson to make up his mind.
Michigan's Gov. G. Mennen Wil
liams is making candidate-like
noises already. And if Stevenson
delays, whole series of favorite
sons will begin taking them
selves seriously as candidates.
But the best bet is that Steven
son will discretely raise the 'yes'
signal flag fairly soon. Stevenson
is far from unambitious, and he
is by now painfully aware that
he cannot possibly duck the
nomination and hope to survive
politically. What is more, Steven
son is now telling all comers that
the notion that President Eisen
hower is unbeatable is a myth.
The clear implication is that he
is the man to prove it.

which are attractive and have
good business during the winter
months may be unpleasant and

The reverse is also true. Certain

this after millions of years ex

These were the immediate
government answers to demands
which the labor unions had
made:
Answers Listed
1. The hourly minimum prem
ium is raised from 21.5 to 26
francs (six to seven cents.)
2. The maximum difference
between the traditionally lower
provincial salaries and the Paris
salaries must not exceed 12 per
cent; previously it was 13.5 per
cent.
3. The maximum difference
between the family allowances
in the provinces and those paid
in Paris is reduced from 20 to
15 per cent.

No Final Decision
On Polio Vaccine
Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) No

of the Salk serum has not been
completed although the report
is due in only 10 days.

forma, and Arizona does not
stem from new babies, or agri
cultural producers. "Newcom
ers" are moving in to retire and
take it easy. They must be sure
a check will come from the
north each month to use as a nest
egg or backlog. I refer to pen
sion money, insurance, rents on
northern property or dividends
on stocks or interest on bonds or
mortgages. Social Security
checks are a help, but they will
not pay all the bills in any state
to which people are now flock
ing. Don't expect a big dip in liv
ing costs in these delightful win
ter climates. You may not need
so much fuel or electricity or
clothing, but food and rents cost
as much, considering what you
get. There is no reduction in
doctors' or dentists' or hospital
bills; while beauty-parlor bills
are reported to be higher. Flor
ida does give homestead tax ex
emption on property up to $5,

have different ways of collecting
taxes, but in the end they add
up to about the same.
Advice on Business
For Restless Man
Many retired men get restless
after a while. If you want a job,
get work in something in which
you are trained. If considering a
business of your own, work on
salary before buying. Caretak
ers' service, collection agencies,
tree nurseries, diaper services,
frozen-food deliveries, clothes
repairing and pressing, mam
facturers' representatives, spray
ing, shopping, typing and real
estate look best to me.
What about buying a home?
This is not a bad idea but there
are certain qualifications you
should consider: Near stores and
churches; with land for a vege
table garden and possible future
sale of an extra lot; and in a
section which is improving and
not declining. Better live in a
community a year before buying
real estate, to get the feeling.
Real estate values are determin
ed by feelings and not figures.
Get Information From
Chamber of Commerce
You can select a state to which
to move by studying maps, real
estate booklets and other propa
ganda. Then write to the state
chamber of commerce located at
the capital of the state that you
are thinking of moving to. Tell
them you would appreciate in
formation regarding different lo
calities, climate, and opportuni
ties. But dc not select any local
ity of that state without first
visiting it, even if you need a
leave of absence from your job
in order to do this. In closing,
just a word of financial advice:
If you are looking for acreage,
buy land adjoining some owned
by the United States Agricultu
ral department and used as an
experiment station. This should
be good land and easy to dispose
of if you ever wish to sell at a
profit. This applies to all states.

Withdrawal of Troops
To Provide Big Test
Of Soviet Good Faith
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The big test of Soviet Rus
sia's good faith in its professed
willingness to sign an Austrian
treaty will
come when
the issue of
wit hdrawing
the occupation
troops is
reached.
There seems
to be a gener
al feeling that,
for reasons of
its own, the
Kremlin at last
" J x '
Cbftries McCann reaay xo join
in a treaty to restore Austria's
independence and sovereignty.
This feeling has been reflect
ed ia Vienna and in western
Allied countries.
Doubt Troop Withdrawal
But as has been suggested pre
viously, it will be a really im
portant development if Russia
agrees to withdraw its army of
occupation from Austria and
there is basis for belief that it
will not do so.
Russia in its not of March
24 to Austria on the treaty ques
tion spoke of the necessity of
guaranteeing against any dang
er of a new attempt to join
Austria with Germany.
"From this follows the need
to take specific measures tak
ing into account the present
plans for the remilitarization of
West Germany, which increase
the danger of Austria's being
absorbed," the Soviet note said.

skin depending on the amount
of 'good food it gets. Sometimes
it may not shed its skin at all;
other years, several times. A
