We, remember El mer had got what we called those times, a two bit piece (25 cents), and prized it so highly that he kept it with him at all times.

In less than a week after infecting chicken eggs with a virus-caused cancer-Rous sar coma virus-normal ceils will have changed into cancer cells, Dr. James Ashmore of the Indiana university med ical school, Indianapolis, told Science Service. The changes from .normal to cancerous can be timed by the cell's ap petite for glucose. . . Infected cells have a vora cious appetite for glucose, he explained. In his studies, car ried out withDrs. Richard Uhl and Alvin S. Levine also of the Indiana medical school, Dr. Ashmore has been able to relate changes in a cell's affinity for and utilization of glucose with its state of in lection. . Acid Production Changes ' As infection c o h t i n u e s there are . certain changes in lactic acid production, a re sult of the cell's "eating" glucoseand glucose utiliza tion as high as seven times that of uninfected cells, Dr. Ashmore reported. At this point, the scientist explained, the findings are mainly of interest because of the basic information gained on how cancer cells function and get their energy supply and how this differs from normal cells.' However, there is the possibility that some chemical compound can be found that will substitute for glucose and trick the cancer cell into utilizing it for. food. With the cancer cell's great er appetite for glucose, this might mean controlling its growth or even causing death of the cell. 2 Money Measures May Make '60 Vote Portland (UPD - City Com missioner Ormond R.
