Breakthrough Nearing
The casual newspaper reader can be forgiven
if he is somewhat confused over the progress of
research about cancer.
With increasing frequency, new developments
are reported. This results 'from two factors
better reporting and more research.
And the stories seem to have little relation
ship with one another, other than the fact that
they all report on efforts to solves the terrifying
riddle of cancer. But many scientists are working
on the riddle, and they are using different ap
proaches, any one of which may be productive.
THIS much is certain :
Sooner or later, in one or more laboratories,
a scientist or scientists are going to come up with
one or mora answers which will place cancer on
the "conquered" list, along with smallpox, tuber
culosis, infantile paralysis, and the dozen or more
dread diseases which now are either vanished or
of much less consequence
This may happen next week, or it may take
another decade of labor. But it is going to happen

Students Who Smoke
The Medford Hi-Times, the newspaper pub
lished at Medford -High
words to say in its current issue about students
who smoke. ' ' '
An editorial reported
"An average of 24 to 30 students gather in back of
the Oakdale market before, after, and during school
to smoke. These students are not only a disgrace to
our alma mater, and are ruining their own reputa
tions, but they may force school officials to enforce
rigid rulings upon all students."
These are pretty strong words for a student
editor to voice about other students. But it-is no
more than the truth.
LAWS both state and
xiuiii aiiiumiig, aim piu-uiun, aiijuiic num own
ing cigarettes to minors.
(Incidentally, they're tough laws, too. They'd make
interesting reading for police officials and the district
attorney, to find out what penalties they risk by not
enforcing them. A minor under the city ordinance
is a person under 21; under the state law, 18.)
But as a practical matter, they are hard to en
force. For one thing, cigarettes are obtainable
almost everywhere through machines and you
can't police machines all day long, nor can you
prosecute them.
Also, police officers have been reluctant to
enforce the no-smoking laws for minors because
it seems, somehow, a relatively trivial offense.
DUT is it trivial? The law is, after all, the law.
And like all laws we feel should be enforced,
at least in token, or repealed or amended. Why
clutter up the books with statutes that no one pays
any attention to?
Up in Albany, not long ago, the police de
partment tried an experiment. The Albany Demo
crat-Herald reported : .
"Agreeing that an unenforceable or unpopular
ordinance should be repealed, the police undertook to
find out just how unenforceable or unpopular the long
dormant local anti-smoking ordinance was, and they
proceeded to enforce it. Surprisingly, they found it to
be both enforceable and not very unpopular. In fact;
the repeal movement they expected to spark did not
develop. So now the ordinance remains unscathed.
The minimum age limit for legal smokers may be low
. ered to 18 years, but there is no talk of repeal."
AXTHICH brings us back to Medford, and the
" problem with high school students, who are
subject to the flat rule : "Smoking . . . within three
blocks of the school grounds is positively pro
hibited. Students failing to follow the above rules
will be dropped from school."
And, according to the Hi-Times, if it doesn't
stop, all students may lose their so-called off
campus privileges, and be required to remain .on
the school grounds during school hours.
The editor of the school paper is understand
ably irritated that a few students would thus
threaten the privileges of all.
IT CAN be stated, flatly, that cigarette smoking
never did anyone any real good. To the addict,
it is both a pleasure and a curse and an expen
sive one, at that. On top of that is the suspicion
that it may increase susceptibility to lung cancer.
To the non-smoker, it is an unpleasant nuisance.
And believe us, boys

The week's good and bad
news on the international
balance sheet:
President Eisenhower told
Soviet Premier Nikita S
Khrushchev this week that
the best way
to stop tests of
nuclear w e a
pons would be
to establish an
inspection sys-
tern which
would prevent
cheating.
Eisenhower

which .Khrushchev last week

to follow Russia's lead in sus

The President made no at

the Russian action was frau
dulent. ,
"It seems peculiar," he said,
that the Soviet Union, hav

tests of unprecedented inten
sity, should now, in both head
lines, say that it will not test
again, but adds, in small type,
that it may test again if the

now imminent series of tests."
Returning to Moscow from
a trip to Communist Hungary,
Khrushchev said in a speech
that the results of his visit
were "simply outstanding."

That something good, of

the inflationary shrinking of
the value of those dollars.
Something better would be a
start back on the long road
toward the dollar value of
20 or, even 10 years ago.
The penny-pinching man of
a saving disposition and his
accumulated dollars have
been having a tough time. He
and his money have been
eaten up over the years by the
galloping inflation.
The dollar has skidded in
value since 1939 from 100
cents to 49 and none can say
for sure that it will be worth
a nickel 20 years from now.
The dollar accumulated infla
tionary gas pains through the
boom times of the 1920s.
'These pains were relieved,
finally, by the calamity of de
pression. If that cycle is to be re
peated it behooves the depression-wise
citizen to consider

a depression really is on, then
the citizen can expect to get

next year more for his banked

Hungarian and other sattellite

So many things happened
to the dollar during World
War I, in the 1920s and 1930s,
however, that a new stand

current purchasing power
value of the dollar from being
wholly ridiculous. -
If the inflationary destruc

shortly will be necessary to
establish a new standard of
comparison whereby, presto,
the 1958 dollar arbitrarily
could be assigned a value of
100 cents and subsequent dol

Citizens with money in the
bank would be sorry, then,
that they had not followed
Eisenhower's April, 1958, ad

while it still would buy some

dollar trouble 25 years ago,
but of another kind. The dol

persons had either dollars or

Franklin D. Roosevelt was
fresh in the White House with
a program of government
economy which was to make
things better by cutting fed

Economy, however, was not
easily achieved nor did it ob

FDR took another track.
On April 19, 1933, he took
the United States off the gold

Why Lakes Closed

that the privileges hitherto ex
tended to them at Squaw
Lake will have to be denied

until some workable p l a n

effect.
For ten years we have kept
the lakes open at personal
sacrifice and financial loss.
While other enterprises have
been subsidized at public ex
pense we have been subjected
to the bite of inflation, and
legislation which makes the
program we have tried to fol
low impossible.
Fishing must be suspended
until natural propagation
brings the lakes back to nor

ment of a serious dispute be
tween France and its former
protectorate of Tunisia
seemed to be at the point of
failure.
The dispute arose from the
French air force bombing of
a Tunisian border village
from which Algerian rebel
gunners had fired persistently
at French planes.
France asked establishment
of neutral control of the Tu
nisian - Algerian frontier to
prevent the Algerian rebels
and weapons convoys from
using Tunisia as a basis for
their operations.

A question:
Did you find any enlighten
ment in the long-awaited
March figures on employment
and unemployment that were
announced by the commerce
and labor departments of the
federal government the other
day?
If you did, you're good.
TOR example:
The report started off by
stating that unemployment
rose by 25,000 in March. This
rise, it went on to say, took
the unemployed total to
5,198,000 the highest figure
in 16V& years.
UT
The report went on to
state
There was a RISE IN EM
PLOYMENT if? March of 323,
000, bringing the total of
those AT WORK to 62,311,
000 approximately the same
number of people who were
at work in March, 1957 be
fore anybody had discovered
that a recession was in the
offing.
THE report went on to say:
"The March unemploy
ment figure, rose 25,000 to
5,198,000 The February figure
was 5,173,000. Employment
increased by 323,000 from
61,988,000 in February to 62,
311,000 in March.
That is to say:
Between February and
March 25,000 people LOST
jobs.

We wish to use this means
of expressing our appreciation
to the many kindly souls who

of the blame for this action
must in fairness be laid at
the feet of those of our
patrons who made our work
unnecessarily hard by throw
ing their refuse behind bushes
or into the lake instead of into
the trash cans provided, by
continuing to bring liquor
knowing it to be against the
regulations, by leaving blaz
ing camp fires for us to ex

bad to get out in the middle
of the night to tow stalled
vehicles hither and yon if
one could be sure of a mur

substantial pay. What do you
think ought to be done about
those who pay to camp one
night and have such a good
time they stay another with
out paying?
Maybe it wasn't even being
kind to the two Jacksonville

of a little green flatfish from

really won't care very much

be the case that is the way it
will be. If you really want to

Blames it on the Fish
To the Editor: your editor
ial, "Who Drinks the Most"
would indicate that "E.A."
might wish to throw an edi
torial barb at Clatsop county
because of the state liquor
sales in that county based
upon what he terms a "latest
population estimate." May we
say that his summation is
very, very inaccurate and mis
leading. Clatsop's population is aug
mented throughout the entire
year by thousands for sport
or for business. During "Fish
derby" time many hundreds
of them purchase their "fish-
bite" remedies from the state
liquor stores in the county.
Of course every fishing boat
should have some of this
liquid aboard for . medicinal
purposes.
Then there are the many
thousands of inlanders who
are "tide watchers" and who
come to the coast to dig clams.
Now clam digging is an
arduous task and as often as
not done during continued
rainfall, and what is better to
warm the innards, at a time
like this, than a swig from
the bottle that cheers? These
thousands of visitors would
add to the "per capita con
sumption" of Clatsop county
There was. a time when
Clatsop county was the salmon
fishing capitol of the world,
These activities attracted
many thousands of tourist
visitors each year from all
over the world.
Aside from viewing the
beauties of nature and look
ing over the activities of the
fishing industry, there is little
in the area to amuse and, oc
cupy their time, so we can
assume they also would be
patrons of our state liquor
stores.
Tourists must await the
ferry at Astoria which carries
them across to the Washing
ton shore. We can assume
there are those among them
who wjuld also "make the
jump" to greet "Jim Beam"
or some other popular named
liquid individual whose face
and name may be upon what
the state liquor stores have
for sale.
Of course we will admit
that many of the residents
of Clatsop county have their
origin in foreign countries and
it is a well know fact that
they have an aversion to
water and other less potent
beverages than hard liquor.
Now, who would deny these

Mid-East Instability
Discussed by Babson
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. Usu
ally I do not comment at
length on foreign affairs.
However, re-
cent develop
ments in the
Middle East
could have
far - reaching
effects upon
U.S. business.
Theref ore, I
think readers
may be help-
Roger W. Babson ed to know
my reaction to these happen
ings. The formation of the Unit
ed Arab Republic, consisting
of Egypt, Syria and, eventu
ally, Yemen, is a feather in
the cap-of President Nasser of
Egypt. It -will enhance his bar
gaining power with both East
and West. The new Republic
is born of the traditional Arab
hostility to the State of Israel
and of Nasser's fear of the
power of the feudal Arab
kings of Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
and Jordon.
This new Union means that
Nasser may have nearly abso
lute power over both Egypt
and Syria and perhaps over
Yemen as well. It means that
he can exercise a greater con
trol over shipments of oil and J
other goods through the Suez
Canal and that he can stop,
at will if it becomes desirable,
the flow of oil through Syri
an pipelines to the West.
Single Arab Oil Empire?
Many observers believe
Nasser's dream is to create a
united Arab oil empire To do
this, the Egyptian leader must
break the power of the feudal
Arab kings. Nasser is still a
popular figure in the Arab
world. He has tangled with
Israel, Great Britain and
France and come out fairly
well. Although he has not
been able to better the lot of
the average Egyptian, he has
captured the imagination of
the masses. It is just possible
that he may break the power
of the Arab kings and effect,
for a time at least, a single
federation of all the Arab
states This would be due to
their common interests in oil
and their common fear of the
State of Israel
However, for the moment,
Nasser s dreams of an oil em
ne people their love and re
spect of the customs of their
homelands?
Now if "E.A" would recall
his sojourn in the area, he
would probably come up with
the answer that the per capita
consumption -in Clatsop
county was just about the
average of the rest of the
state.

No Early Stability
Nasser will drive hard bar

which he can exercise some

Certainly, it will cost more'
There will be no early sta
bility in the Middle East. The
two chief Arab factions will

ser should come out on top in

forecast that We will some
time find a cheap way to pro
duce power through fusion,
or through harnessing gravi
ty. Then Nasser's, or his suc
cessor's power, based on con
trol of strategic oil supplies,
could vanish.
Could Be Rich Land
Studies show that Egypt's
soil contains elements which
would favor vegetation if only
her fields could receive suffi
cient irrigation. Unlike Euro
pean countries and much of
our own farm land,. Egyptian
topsoil is still intact and the
life-bearing minerals remain
in her good earth. On the oth
er hand, her people are very
ignorant and poor.
Some day, Egypt will have
her Aswan dam and other
vast irrigation projects which
will assure her sufficient wa
ter for good farming; but
there first must come an en
tire change in her people's
character. They are not yet
using properly the water now
available. Only then can the
now arid lands of her great
deserts bloom. I forecast,
however, that the time will
come when Egypt can be a
