A New York physician told the American Medical Associ ation's Committee on Aging here that the two major ele ments in prolonging life are the preservation of energy and a high degree of motiva tion. The first of these, Dr. Theo dore G. Klumpp said, can be maintained through proper diet, exercise and rest. The second comes from purposeful useful activity. Must Do Everything "I believe that we must do everything we can, as wc grow older to resist the incli nation to slow down the tempo of our living," he said. "I am convinced that if you will just sit and wait for death to come along, you will not have long to wait. Earlier at the two-day reg ional conference, Dr. David B. Allman of Atlantic City, N.J., past president of the AMA, promised more useful and productive lives for the aging population. He cited as "Med icine's Blueprint for the New Era of Aging" the following six points: 1. Stimulation of a realistic attitude toward aging by all people. Wider Use of Service 2. Promotion of health maintenance programs and wider use of restorative services. 3. Extension of effective methods of financing health care for persons over 65. 4. Expansion of skilled per sonnel training programs and improvement of medical facilities. 5. Amplification of medical and socio-economic research in problems of aging. 6. Leadership and coopera tion in community programs. Another physician. Dr. Franklin Yoder, an official of the AMA, called for a vigor ous program to eliminate han dicaps imposed on older per sons. Elimination of physical, social, mental, economic and employment handicaps, he aid, "will insure the seniors of a greater opportunity for life fulfillment and would help them meet their over-all economic needs with Indepen dence and dignity. " Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A FOND PAPA took hi young daughter to hear her first opera. They bad seats way down front, and the little girl was particularly fascinated by the orchestra leader. At the height of one aria. he whispered loudly, "Why is the man threat ening that fat lady with a stick?" "Hush," hlned the father. "He isn't threat ening her at all." "Then why," persisted tha little girl, "i she hollering?" Tha last question asked an aspirant for the police foroe was, "How many miles ii it from States Is land to Sacramento?'

Policeman John Cameron told them if they didn't come out voluntarily he would put money In the slot and get them out "the hard way." TURNPIKE SURFACE New Jersey'i turnpike re quired 30 million gallon, of asphalt Books Decay Rapidly; Durable Paper Sought Richmond, Va. - (Science Service)-By about 1980, near ly 40 per cent of the so-called permanent" books printed between 1900 and 1949 will have such brittle pages that they will have to be taken out of circulation completely. Researchers at the Virginia State Library here chose 500 non-fiction books which had not been handled excessively and tested the paper by ma chine tearing and bending. Only one per cent of the bonks had "high strength" papers. The other 99 per cent were expected to last about 50 years or less with moderate usage. A published report of the tests stated that although li brarians had been concerned about book decay, no one had guessed that the situation was so serious. Acidity Factor Dr. Robert V. Hobbs. a paper analyst at the National Bureau of Standards in Wash ington who has followed the Virginia study, said that the acidity of wood pulp used in paper manufacture is the fac tor that causes paper to de cay. Papers made of rags have a lower acid content and last longer. The acid gets Into the paper during the processing of wood pulp, and up until a few years ago, Dr. Hobbs said, manufac turers were not particularly concerned about acid content because no one knew that it caused decay. The Virginia researchers are now working on a tech nique to stop acid-caused de cay of books already in print. They do this by dipping the paper In a solution that neu tralizes the acid, Dr. Hobbs explained. To demonstrate lis point, the Virginia State Library printed the report of the teals on a newly developed, low- acid paper. CROWDED RUNWAYS Hayward, Calif, -0.TU- Pilots have appealed to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals to help combat an Increasing menace at Hay ward Municipal Airport. Landings and tukeoffs used to be hampered by rabbits frol icking on the runways. Now the runways are even more crowded - dogs have started chasing the rabbitj. Cancer 'Cure' Predictions Said Bad Psychology Louisville, Ky. (Science Service) - "Psychologically bad" was the term used here by a cancer researcher to des cribe predictions that the cure for cancer is just around the corner and that a break' through has been discovered. Scientists have made little, if any, progress in the treat ment of the very advanced cancers that are beyond surgi cal intervention. Dr. E. V. Cowdry of the Wernse Can cer Research Laboratory at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, told science writers here. False Impression Favorable reports of achievements in cancer re search can give a false impres sion, leaving people with the attitude that they need not watch for signs of cancer in themselves because the "cure" for cancer is bound to be found soon. Lr. Crowdry said he thought medical science will never be capable of pre venting all cancers. He believes the principal barrier to cancer control is lack of knowledge of cancer cella themselves. Another bar rier Is. the attitude of people. which is very important. For one thing, people should be aware of cancer-causing sub stances and be willing to 4-H NEWS Dairy-a-Teers The Applegate Dairy-a -Teers 4-H club met at the Head residence recently. Mrs. Head took a picture of all 12 members standing by a 4-H sign made by Mrs. Winn ingham. Adrienne Brian and Susan Head gave a demon stration on fitting their ani mals. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Head. Alice Kuitert, Reporter. Weather Control Factors Should be Known in Decade Washington (Science Serv ice) U. S. scientists should know within the next ten years the extent to which such weather factors as light ning, hail and rain can be modified or controlled, a dis tinguished meteorologist believes. Dr. Sverre Petterssen of the University of Chicago advised the House Committee on Sci ence and Astronautics that in formation from solar and earth satellites should provide a picture of the energy Input and output of the earth s at mosphere by 1970. Coordinat ed with a global system of at mospheric observations, this avoid them. This requires con- information will provide the stant vigilance through many ODservauons or now tne years, he said. Vary Different Obviously, cancer control Is very different from the con trol of infectious diseases that can, in so many cases, be ob tained from a single dose of vaccine. Dr. Cowdry said he believes a big step forward in the con trol of cancer will come when the lives of Individual body cella are better understood. He urged that work be done on individual cancer cells. The concept that each cancer is a population of cells in var ious stages of birth, maturity, old age and death must be studied, he said. Important To Laarn Since virtually nothing is known about the "vital statis tics" of cancer cells, Dr. Cow dry said. It is important to learn which cluster of cells in a cancer grows more di versified with the time in which the cancer has been established and during which period of life the cluster is progressing. At present, medical scien tists can recognize cancers earlier and treat them some what better than formerly, he reported. However, the fact remains that an estimated 265,000 Americans will die from cancer this year. Ap proximately 85.000 of these will die because they will not get treatment early enough. A total of 770.000 will be un der medical care for cancer during 1960. Industry Drive Most Competitive Portland -OiPD- One of the most competitive activities in this country today is the drive by states and communities for new or expanded industries, the Portland Chamber of Commerce has been told. Gerald Frank of Salem, chairman of the governor's advisory committee on plan ning and development, spoke to Chamber members of the recent Industrial tour of the East by Gov. Mark Hatfield and others. Frank said one measure of success was that half of those Invited to luncheons accepted the first Invitation. He said that comparably the state of Maine recently had only a 10 per cent acceptance. OUTSIDE MEALS About 75 million meals arc served daily in public cafes. atmosphere works as a great, integrated system. Optimistic About Cells Martin Goland, a scientist at the Southwest Research In stitute in San Antonio, Tex., was also optimistic about the future of fuel cells efficient battery-like devices now be ing developed that convert chemicals to electricity. He said small cell units in homes and industry could pro vide cheap, reliable electricity without extensive wiring to a single power plant. The cells he said, would have more im mediate usefulness as compact power sources inside space craft and submarines Much of the $1,500,000 now being spent on research on fuel cells is spent by private business, Mr. Goland said. He suggested a central research organization could coordinate the work and promote freer exchanges of information. Does Portion of Job The discoverer of radiation belts about the earth, Dr. James A. Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, told the committee that the Nation al Science Foundation's pilot program to provide university facilities for the physical sci ences does only one per cent of the Job." He asked for aid to the phy sical sciences on a larger scale similar to the National Insti tutes' s grants In medical areas. And he criticized the U.S. pol icy of short-term grants for re search projects. Lump subsidies." he said. should be given to universities for distribution for scientific research. Dr. Van Allen said this method Is commonly used in Great Britain and Scandinavian countries, and has proved successful.
