Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by General features Corp.)
Rojtr N. - How can she , with me he finds he can go
make the same mistake twice?
Joan B. - I can help Lou
beat his weakness.
Roger N. - My sister was
divorced four years ago. Her
husband was an alcoholic and
was found holed up in a motel
with a barmaid, both in a
stupefied condition. My wife
and I helped her extricate
herself from that mess of a
marriage, because we realized
Joan, and I myself, had been
completely fooled by her hus
band. He had revealed no sign
of weakness while he courted
her and during their engage
ment period.
Hut now she's In danger of
walking into the same fire.
This time it's with her eyes
open. She's attracted to a man
who giving her a big rusn,
but .who admits he needs "a
few under his belt" before he
feels right. She ought to run
a mile. Instead she feels he
needs a loving wife and she's
ready. This time she'd better
not count on me.
e
Joan B. - I know Lou al
most four years, which is 20
times longer than I knew my
former husband. He's a fine,
sensitive fellow, a perfect
gentleman. He explained that
he was always able to drink
on a take-it-or-leave-it basis
until he went into the Insur
ance business five years ago.
Then he noticed he did a
much better job when he was
fortified with some fire-water
and he got into the habit of
fueling up.
But since he's been in love

out and do a good sales job
with or without a drink. I'm
able to give him confidence
in himself. With me at his side
and in his home, he'll have
that certain peace which gives
a man strength. Already his
total imbibing gets less each
week. I'm sure he'll master
the urge.
The Council Let's not pret
ty up the problem. If Lou can'
not function properly without
a swig of the bubbly, he s an
alcoholic. And no one should
marry an alcoholic in the hope
of reforming him. It can't be
done that way
Roger appeals to us to dis
suade his sister and we 11 try.
At the same time, since she
is so drawn to this man, we'll
offer her some hope. If Lou
wants to marry her badly
enough, he'll go for help and
treatment. He can get it
through individual psycho-
therapy, or group therapy, or
group inspiration and activity
such as is offered in Alco
holics Anonymous. Then if
he proven that he can stay dry
for at least a full year, pre
ferably two, Joan can venture
to marry him. Should the
same trouble rear its ugly
head later, they'd know
where to go and how to pro
ceed toward a "cure. Most
important, Joan wouldn't try
to tackle it alone. No can do.
Psychologists find that alco
holics, as a group, are unmar-
riageable because they are
basically selfish. Instead of
working hard to bolster their
own spirits through achieve
ment, through serving and
caring for others, they indulge
themselves in escape and
sweet forgetfulness via dis
tilled spirits. This dumps all
their problems on others, and
makes them the center of at
tention. When they marry it's
for the sake of what a woman
can do for them, not what
they can do for her. So Roger
is kind to try to trip Joan
up at this point.
But he raises another im
portant question. What is
there about Joan which causes
her to feel drawn to drinking
men? That s a good question
for her to bring to a guidance
counselor. One promi n e n t
practitioner claims that these
women fall into two groups.
They re cither martyrs or
mammas" as types. They feci
impelled to sutler lor,
mother, these dependent vic
tims. Worse, they battle
against solving the problem
for this would put them out
of a Jobl Such are the findings
of the experts.

Fire Instructors
Organize in Area
The initial meeting for
area fire instructors from
Jackson and Josephine coun
ties was held Monday night in
the Medford fire department
building. About 23 persons
attended.
Purpose of the group is to
further better firemanship
training for structural type
fires and will be made up of
interested persons, particular

fire protection groups. They
will evaluate new equipment,
teach new fire-fighting meth
ods, exchange information and
conduct area schools.
The coordinator for the or
ganization Is Vernon Ritchie
of the Medford fire depart
ment, through the state voca

By DELOS SMITH
UPI Scienca Editor
New York tUPD- There is
a new and still highly experi
mental drug which produces
an odd but
h o p e ful re
sult. It doesn't
attack cancer
but arrests it
stops it cold
in its tracks,
so to speak.
This is strict
ly a labora-
utlos smith lory pnenoiii-
enon so far, you must keep in
mind. But when the answer
to human cancer does come
eventually, it probably will
grow out of laboratory phe
nomena and the experiments
they engender.
The drug is MPT which is
a contraction of 1,4-dimethyl-
1.4-diphcnyl-2-tetrazene. The
cancers it stops cold (though
temporarily) are an experi
mental m a in m a r y cancer
which Is kept going by trans
plantation to succeeding gen
erations of mice and a spon
taneous mouse mammary can
cer. Without treatment mice
bearing Hie experimental can
cer survive 30 days on the
average. The spontaneoi:'' can
cer permits a survival period
of 37 days after its first ap
pearance. THIO-TEPA is an anti-cancer
drug now used in human
patients. It will prolong
mouse survival with the ex
perimental cancer to 50 days,
and with the spontaneous can
cer it doesn't increase sur
vival time at all.
Double Survival Tinm
But the new drug, MPT,
doubles survival time from
the experimental cancer when
it is injected into the mice.
When it Is mixed with their
food and fed to them, it in
creased survival time to about
I no days, triple and more of
the time the mice would have
atii'vivrd without treatment.
When fed to mice which
developed mammary cancer
spontaneously it increased
survival time more than two
fold and did almost as well
when it was injected Into
them.
It hud another advantage
over THIO-TEPA. It was ef
fective over a wide range of
dose levels
These promising results
were obtained In the Lederle
Laboratories, Pearl River,
N. Y., by Adolph W. Vogel,
Adolph E. Sloboda, Andrew
S. Tomcufcik and Ralph G.
Child.
They came across MPT
when routinely screening for
anti-cancer activity all com
pounds of similar structure to
3,3-dimethyl-l-phenyltriazene
which has anti-cancer activity
but poisons the host as well
as his cancer.
They're not yet quite sure
how to classify It chemically
although it doesn't appear to
be an alkylating agent. These
and the anti-folic compounds
are now in use against human
cancers but they have to be
used selectively and with
much caution because they
can destroy bone marrow
with fatal consequences.
No Reaction
MPT so far has shown no
reaction on bone marrow.
When this is coupled with it
achieving the longest surviv
al time of mice bearing the
experimental cancer yet re
corded, you see why chemists
are eager to push their studies
of It.
The puzzle is in how it does
what it does. In no instance
has any cancerous tissue been
destroyed. Its activity is to
"hold growth in abeyance to
a size tolerated by the host"
for periods of months which
in mice is equivalent to years
in human beings.
MPT has been entirely in
effective against two other
kinds of experimental cancer.
Cancer scientists, however, on
the basis of their present
knowledge, believe there will
never be a single chemical
compound effective against
a!! kinds oi cancers. They'd
gladly settle for compounds
which are effective against
only one or a few.
