New York (U.R) Cancer ex
perts speak optimistically of
early detection as the means for a
higher rate of cure, while at the
same time deploring the diffi
culty of getting people into the
habit of regular medical check
ups. The American Cancer Society
is in the midst of a campaign to
impress on people that the way
to fight cancer is with a check
up. Their figures are impressive.
The ACS reports that last year
80,000 Americans who discover
ed cancer in time were cured.
Another 245,000 Americans died
of the disease in 1955.
This potential cancer victim
had no particular reason for anx
iety, but he hustled over to a
local cancer detection clinic, one
of msny established in American
cities since World War II. These
clinics cooperate with private
physicians. They are available
for those who, for one reason
or another, haven't taken a med
ical examination at their own
doctor's office. The clinics for
ward any findings to the pa
tient's physician.
This writer didn't expect any
findings. He showed up as sched
uled at the NYU-Bellevue Med
ical Center's cancer detection
clinic Vnd was greeted by Edith
M. Ryan, the supervisor. A
quick change from street clothes
to a hospital gown and the pa
tient was ready for the examin
ation which takes about two
hours and costs $20.
It began with a chest X-ray
and a blood sample, the first to
search for possible lung cancer
or other diseases, the other to
hunt out possible signs of leuk
emia or other blood disorders.
Next came a general physical.
At NYU-Bellevue, all the exam
ining doctors are specialists in
ther fields. An internist, a spec
ialist in internal medicine, check
ed the medical history, concen
trating on possible hints of can
cer, but covering the entire area
of the circulatory system, glands,
skin and organs.
Next, an ear, nose and throat
specialist checked those areas.
Finally, a proctologist made an
internal examination of the low
er colon. For women, there is a
final test by a gynecologist,
specializing in forms of female
cancer.
Then, while the patient chang
es back into street clothes, the
specialists forward their reports
to Dr. David Goldstein, head of
the clinic. He analyzes the re
ports and gives the patient a
clear picture of his physical con
dition as revealed by the tests.
An intense, young-looking but
veteran cancer-hunter. Dr. Gold
stein explained that fewer than
one in 100 patients at the clinic
turns up with cancer. But, he
added, in his lucid, rapid-fire
deskside manner, the examina
tions do more frequently turn up
other ailments.
In this case, Dr. Goldstein re
ported some irritation of the
nasal tract nothing serious, but
it wpuld be advisable to cut
down on smoking. Additionally,
the proctologist had discovered
a condition in the lower colon,
pesky but -minor, which could
use treatment by my own doctor.
That, of course, was what the
patient basically had come .to
learn. He left happy and deter
mined to follow the advice on
the' nasal and colon matters.
Also to get a checkup every year
because, obviously, you can't
fight what you don't know.

Hollywood (U.R) Director , to theological schools of " all
John Farrow begs that any men
interested in playing Christ in
his film will
write him
and not show
up on his door
step or tele
phone at the
crack of dawn.
The mo vie

he was launch-
Aline Moeby ing an on-the-
level talent search for an un
known to portray the teacher
has made him the most popular
man in Hollywood.
"I've been inundated with
phone calls," Farrow said today.
"One woman from South Dakota
called me at home at 6 in the
morning. She wanted her hus
band to play the role of Christ
because he is 'Christly by na
ture.' "
Tall Tale Told
One man arrived at the direc
tor's home and announced he
was Christ. Another woman tel
ephoned that, in the Bridey Mur
phy manner, she had been at the
foot of the cross in some previ
ous life.
But Farrow's qualifications
rule out most applicants. He ad
mits his search may be limited
faiths.
'"I could take a man from a
monastery, say, and put him
back in again," he said. "I even
would like to. try to keep the
man anonymous although that
would not be possible."
The role in "Son of Man," to
be filmed in 1957, would not
mean a screen career for the
winner. Farrow will sign him to
a 20-year contract for the one
picture with the provision the
man never act again. '
Explanation Given
"I wouldn't want him playing
a gangster or slapping Anita Ek
berg around in some other mo
vie," said Farrow. '
Farrow is one of the nation's
experts on theology. He has been
writing books on religion for 20
years. He's worked on the "Son
of Man" script for three years.
It has been approved, he said, by
leaders of the Catholic, Protes
tant, Jewish and Moslem reli
gions. -
"This is not the story of any
one church," he said. "It is the
story of Christ and his teachings.
The film will have universal ap
peal." Interested persons may write
to Farrow at RKO Studio, Holly
wood 38, Calif.

The way to get a Leo (July

propose matrimony is to get
him in a place where the lights
are low, the music soft, the food
good and the liquor strong.
Wearing a tight fitting, low cut

technique, also works with men

Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
is your favorite cocktail? A.
Haven't any. Never take mixed
drinks. I favor a scotch or bour
bon highball with plain water.
Q. Was it Tennyson or Byron,
who said, "She was divinely tall.
I hate a . dumpy woman?" A.
Byron. Q., I challenge you to
name six . flowers named after
men. A. Why challenge me on
such a subject? My father was a
gardening, expert but not me. I
don't care for gardening. I am
in accord; with that man. who
said: "A man who goes in for
gardening should have a hinge
in his back." Anyway, I can re
call only 'three flowers named
in honor "of men the dahlia
named in-honor of Anders Dahl,
Swedish ." botanist, the zinnia
after J.- G. Zinn and the gar
denia after Alexander Garden.
Diet
What diet does your doctor
recommend as an aid to lon
gevity? Ask his opion of a regu
lar diet of cheese and onions,
coarse bread, milk and mild ale.
That was the diet of Thomas
Parr, the. Englishman, who lived
to be 152. Parr led the life of a
very gay' bachelor until he was
80, when he married for the first
time. . However, he didn't com
pletely settle down. When he
was 105 his wife caught him
stepping out with a lively bru
nette named Catherine Milton.
After the-death of his first wife,
Parr married again when he was
120. At the- age of 130 he was
still doing a regular hard day's
work. As mentioned, he died at here and the Dortmunder union
the age of 152. He is buried in bridge plant.

Get It Right
Some Baltimoreans are argu
ing as to the wording of that
classic utterance by a British
blacksmith regarding the '"orses
'oofs." The correct wording is:
It's not the 'eavy 'auling
that 'urts the orses oofs.
Its the 'ammer, 'ammer.
'ammer
On the 'ard 'ighway.
Family Men
Men with dangerous jobs seem
to have a tendency to have large
families. As for example, police
men. In New York, a policeman
with less than four children, is
a rarity. Other prolific papas are
firemen, airplane pilots, steeple
chase jockeys and deep sea
divers. To say nothing of um
pires. "Red" Ormsby, pictures
que major leagle umpire of a
few years back, is the father of
twelve children.
Bartenders
A present day bartender who
can mix more than ten drinks
from memory is a rarity. Nowa
days the great majority of bar
tenders can only mix from mem
ory the following drinks: Man?
hattan, whisky sour, martini,
Tom Collins, gin fizz, daquiri,
side 'car and milk punch. If any
drinks other than these are re
quested the bartender has to
get out the book. .

cause of some . such thing -as
drink or mismanagement of
money," .Dr. Davis told, a mar
riage workshop at the annual
convention of the National Con
ference of Catholic Charities.
"If there is a common factor,
it is the emotional immaturity
of one or both of the partners,"
