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.
Guest the week end of Jan.
11 at the home of Miss
Georgia Sue Weidman were
Claudia Owens, Judy and Lin
da Carver and Sharon Hen
drickson of Medford.
Mr., and Mrs. W. E. Ham
mell of Eagle Point and Mr.

Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Henderson
of Eagle Point Saturday eve
ning, Jan. 11.
Construction has been start
ed on the HammeU's new
house near the one they sold
a short time ago on Crater
Lake highway, above Eagle
Point. If weather permits, it
will be ready for occupancy
some time in March, Hammell
said.
Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hender
son drove to Butte Falls Sun
day, Jan. 13, to visit Mrs.
Jack Stowell. Stowell has
been ill since Christmas and
is bedfast most of the time.
Mrs. George Kelly, their
daughter, and their son, Tom
Stowell, are staying at the
house to help care for their
father.
Mr. and Mrs. William Nuss

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."

tasks which will confront
scientists in the 20th century:

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

"Still greater perspectives
face the geologists. One can
hardly be satisfied with
knowledge of only a thin lay

penetrated 5,000 or 6,000
