For quick cough comfort get Postman Runs Many Errands For Customers Michigan Bluff, Calif. HP When this postman rings here, it's not just to deliver letters. M. B. Langstaff may be running errands, deliver ing milk and groceries or just providing a link to the out side world for this oft-isolated ghost town. Langstaff runs a grocery in nearby Foresthill. When the Placer County community is snowbound in winter, he be comes its sole message-bearer to the "outside." He admits that since the ad vent of snowplows and other motor-driven snow vehicles his job is much easier. But he still can recall the "good old days" when he would often be asked to make the trip from Foreshill here "on skis, twice on horseback and walking." The dedicated deliverer ap parently believes in following in his father's footsteps. His dad, M. C. Langstaff, was driver of the Foresthill stage line and stayed on until the era of modern transportation. Langstaff sincerely believes that the mail must go through in all kinds of weather. "Those people are entitled to daily mail service just as much as the ones who live in the city," he commented "In the last 20 years I don't think there have been more than 10 days when they didn't get their mail." An everyday list of items for Langstaff to deliver as he makes the route will include a dozen quarts of milk, many cartons of vittles, sacks of animal feed and the daily newspapers. All this plus the mail. He sums up his daily efforts with this statement: "Sometimes I'm late, but I always get there." 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. every day except Sunday and Monday.

Mankind Will Erase Cancer, Professor Says By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Correspondent Moscow (IP) Scientists of the Soviet Union predict that in the remainder of the 20th century mankind will erase cancer, develop foods for 10 times the present world population and create nuclear power replacing coal and oil. Those are some of the op timistic future developments seen by five of the most bril liant of the scientific men in Russia. The United Press asked each of them to discuss what the future may hold in his field. Here are summaries of their replies: Professor Alexander Baku lev, president of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences: Destruction of Disease "There is no doubt that the second half of the 20th cen tury will bring deliverance from cancer and other malig nant tumors. It seems to me, in fact, that the four decades ahead will see the destruction of all the natural hotbeds of disease. The length of life will increase and even those 20 or 30 today will live to see these miracles brought about. "Hygiene is the medicine of the future. At the present time, more than 700 diseases are known to the world's sci entists, diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, worms, living animals, para sites. In order to liquidate certain contagious diseases, it is necessary to destroy the hotbeds where the sources ex ist and the carriers. Simultaneously, greater im portance will be attached to physical culture, which should include all ages from the cradle to advanced age. Smok ing, alcoholism, and other habits harmful to health will gradually disappear." Food Prospects Dr. S. T. Volfkovich, mem ber of the USSR Academy of Science: "How many people could our planet provide with food, is there any nutritional limit on the increase of the world's population? "Today, with our level of science and the development of productive forces, it can be boldly asserted that 20-30 billion people can be assured nutrition on earth. (Present world population is about 2.5 billion). And by the time this figure is reached the possibil ities of production will also have increased and the limit will again be raised. "Growth stimulators make it possible to obtain two potato crops per year, for instance. Hundreds of new ones will be perfected. Chemical prep arations for protecting plants from pests, animals and dis ease and for chemical weed ing are assuming tremendous importance. Chemistry, to gether with physics and tech nique, promises to solve the problem of irrigation by di recting and discharging rain clouds." Future of Electricity V. I. Popkov, member USSR Academy of Sciences and ex pert on high voltage electric ity: "Man should solve the mys tery of transforming matter decades. "Today, he must dig coal or oil or uranium from the ground, purify it, burn it in a furnace, transform that heat into steam and the steam into motion and convert 'the mo tion into electric current. To morrow, he will be able to transfer the fuel directly into power without inefficient mid dleman stages. "By the year 2007, atom powered stations will pro duce, it seems to me, not less than 40 per cent of Russia's electric current. There are al ready in existence transistor elements in which the energy of radioactivity is turned di rectly into electric current." Sergei Lebedev, director of the Institute of Exact Me chanics and Calculating Ma chines of the USSR Academy of Sciences: i "It is almost impossible to ' talk about the future of our j branch of science. Scientists can barely manage to ponder over and utilize the numerous, interesting possibilities which electronic brain systems al ready are rendering to science. Machines revolutionized phy-, sical labor; now we are revo lutionizing mental labor. "The five year plan en-; visages extensive introduction of electronic brains into our economy with special atten tion paid to industry. They can guide the work of pro duction lines and perhaps even an entire factory." Geographic -Outlook Dimitri Shcherbakov, geo logist and member of the jf nT! HELPS PILOT Scott Struble, Medford, helps pilot Bill Hicks fly Southwest Airlines plane during the flight pro gram sponsored by the Medford YMCA. Thirty-minute flights are offered on a reservation basis to anyone interested, YMCA officials said. They have been scheduled for each Saturday in January and February. Flight time is 1 p.m. Information on reservations can be obtained by calling the YMCA. USSR Academy of Sciences: "The time of the great geo graphical discoveries is not past. Here are some of the tasks which will confront scientists in the 20th century: "To create a detailed geo logical and geographical map of the ocean bottom. More than 70 per cent of earth is covered by the world ocean. Under it such mountain ranges as the Lomonosov Ridge are still hidden. "Still greater perspectives face the geologists. One can hardly be satisfied with knowledge of only a thin lay er lying on the very surface of earth. But today we've only penetrated 5,000 or 6,000 meters the limit achieved by boring drills. I think that in the 21st century we will become familiar with the first 10-to-20 kilometers (6 to 12 and one-half ; miles) of the earth's depths.
