We're Still Looking
For Fountain of Youth
It has been a long and
seemingly tireless search, but
"hope springs eternal" and
those of us who are waiting
are naturally impatient with
the delay. We hope for an
elixir, or a substance, or a
"fountain of youth."
Men have been compound
ing and mixing various sub
stances for many ages, trying
to find that wonderful some
thing that will rewind life's
clock and keep our fleshy
mechanism running for an in
definite period.
Royal Jelly
It was only natural, there
fore, that man looked to the
substance used by the com
mon honey bee, called "royal
jelly." It was thought it
might be just the substance
mankind needed to refuel his
bodily furnace and keep his
inner fires burning brightly.
"Royal jelly" does marvelous
things for baby bees, and
even has something to do
with the nuuber of boy be :s
or girl bees the colony will
produce.
It can even be used by the
bees to hasten the develop
ment of more members, but
what "royal jelly" does for a
creature other than baby
bees seems sadly disappoint
ing. "Royal jelly" as a hu
man food leaves considerable
to be desired, even as a food
supplement.
The search, however, con
tinues, and other substances
and materials from Nature's
vast storehouse are being in
vestigated; One of these is
pollen.
Pollen is the usually yel
low, powdery material in the
form of grains that act as the
fertilizing element of flower
ing plants. It is actually the
male element of the plant, the
material that adheres to the
legs or body of the honey bee
or other species of Insect,
later brushing off an another
plant of the same kind, there
by pollenating it.
Different Shape.
Every flowering plant has
pollen grains peculiar in
shape and size to itself. Pollen
grains may be shaped like

anchors, triangles, dumb
bells, squares or like baseball
bats. Each grain, under mag
nification , appears to be a
tiny, hollow case filled with
a suspended drop of oil; each
oil-drop as small as one
thirty-thousandth of an inch
in diameter.

len is "life-stuff," but as a
supplement in human food or

probably is about as useful

Adequate Power
Supply Said Goal
Washington -fflPD- The new
head of the Rural Electrifica
tion Administration says he'll
give top priority to assuring
an adequate power supply for
rural areas.
The new REA administrator
is Norman M. Clapp of Lan
caster, Wis., who was sworn
into office Thursday.
The new REA chief added
that the Administration plans
to study methods of building
power transmission ties be
tween regions - a power grid,
moving electricity from power
surplus areas to regions which
are short of electricity. Clapp
said this would spread the
benefits of low-cost hydroelec
tric power.

In the Day's News
y 'RANK JINKINI
What of the news today?
It isn't verv exciting Fnr
which let us be thankful. In
these modern davj ih. Elf.
CITING news gives us the
snivers.
CECRETARY OF LABOR
Goldberg, reporting on
the job situation, tells us that
in February unemployment
rose 320,000 over January to
a total of 8,705,000 the high
est Idle total since the sum
mer of 1941, just before World
war II, at the tag end of the
great depression.
But, he adds
EMPLOYMENT in Febru
ary was UP 200,000 from Jan
uary to a total of 64,655,000,
wmcn is the highest Febru
ary total in our history.
WHICH if to say:
In February r, fhli
year more Americans were
OUT OF WORK than at any
time in the past 20 years, but
at the same time more Amer-
leans were WORKING than
in any previous February in
our history.
11HAT'S happening to us?
' There could be two
answers:
1. Our population is rising
faster than our capacity to
provide jobs.
2. Prices are rising faster
than our capacity to pay.
The EASY solution is to
pass some more laws. But
passing more laws doesn't
seem to provide a permanent
solution.
ItfORE problems:
Starlings are reported
to be increasing in this coun
try at a disturbingly rapid
rate possibly even doubling
in number every year. They
are a nuisance. They dirty up
city buildings. They make
raucous noises. They have
been blamed for air crashes.
They seem to be fond of air
ports and when planes en
counter flocks of them the
birds are sucked into the jet
engines, causing power fail
ure. They do considerable crop
damage, but on the other hand
they eat a lot of bugs. So far,
the problem is concentrated
chiefly In the cities. Efforts to
get rid of them have been con
fined largely to frightening
them away. But scaring them
away from one place doesn't
seem to result in any perma
nent relief. They just go some,
where else.
WHAT to do about It?
Well, an Arkansas con
gressman hat a solution. He
has just introduced a bill to
appropriate $400,000 to DO
AWAY WITH STARLINGS.
That is to say:
PASS A LAW.
That ought to do the trick.
QUESTION:
When problems face us,
is PASSING A LAW all we
need to do?
One can't help wondering.
TN CONCLUSION:
A How did starlings get
started in this country?
Well, some sentimental peo.
pie who thought the starlings
in England were cute brought
over 60 of them back in 18S0.
They were set free In Cen
tral Park in New York. From
there, they have spread over
a considerable part of the
United States.
A lot of our troubles in this
country have arisen out of the
actions of people who are
more liberally endowed with
sentiment than with common
sense.

No Evidence New
Drug Cure for
Hodgkin's Disease
Indianapolis - WPD - A phar
maceutical firm emphasized
that there was no evidence
that a new drug was a "cure"
for Hodgkin's disease or any
other form of human cancer.
Ell Lilly & Co. said the
drug, which comes from a
shrub called periwinkle, has
been given clinical trials in
treatment of Hodgkin's di
sease and tumors known as
choriocarcinoma.
The firm, always cautious
in making drug announce
ments, said it also learned that
its common stock had climbed
about 32 points during the
past two weeks because of
Wall Street rumors that it
had produced a "cancer cure."
But Lilly denied the rumor
and said the drug was only
for treatment of patients with
Hodgkin's disease or chorio
carcinoma, who had respond
ed well in clinical studies.
New Available
The drug, the firm said, al
ready Is available to the medi
cal profession under the trade
mark Velban. The agent is
the sulfate salt of vinblastine,
an alkaloid extract from the
periwinkle.
Hodgkin's disease attacks
the lymph glands, liver and
spleen, while choriocarcinoma
attacks membranes found m
the placenta, ovaries and
testes.
Velban has been studied in
300 patients with a variety of
malignant diseases, the com
pany said. But the evaluation
of results in other cancers has
not been completed, it added.
The first clinical study was
initiated in 1959 at the Indi
ana University medical center
here. Later studies were con
ducted at the Ontario Cancer
Institute in Toronto, the com
pany said.
