Bootlegging Topic
Of Local Meeting
The "significant increase in
bootlegging in the United
States," was emphasized by
Pete Beyer, of the National
Distillers Products company,
when he recently spoke be
fore a meeting of the Senior
Golf association at the Rogue
Valley Country club.
"Bootlegging and Taxation"
was the subject of Beyer's
talk, and he listed the losses
to the government resulting
from the increases in boot
legging, which he maintained
are proportionate to increases
in taxes on whiskey.
Beyer went on to examine
the present price structure in
Oregon and showed where on
one brand of whiskey, as an
example, it was necessary to
absorb the last IS cents in
price to maintain a position
in the market. The brand of
which he spoke has enjoyed
a fine position in the market
for many years, he said.

Swelling in Armpit
Many a mother has asked
me anxiously why her appar
ent healthy and peppy daugh-
ii" ter has a nod-
W -,V u 1 e ' n 0 n e
T T , it' A armpit a
I "" - ' (J nodule that
ea.ch month
' swells up and
gets tender
just as the
girl's breasts
do. When the
J mothers have
gone for medi
cal advice, some doctors hint
ed at cancer, while some
thought of a beginning infec
tious mononucleosis (a disease
usually of young persons in
which there is fever, great
fatigue, enlarged nodes in the
armpit and neck and groin
and disability for several
months) and some scared the
family by talking of Hodg
kin's disease (a cancer-like
disease of young people).
Actually, in these types of
cases the girl is much too
young for ordinary cancer,
and if she had infectious mon
onucleosis she would feel mis
erable, she would be ill, cer
tain diagnostic changes could
easily be found in her blood
and many lymph nodes
i (glands) would be enlarged,
J not only in her armpit but
j in her neck and groins. Sim
ilarly, if she had Hodgkin's
disease, many nodes would be
I enlarged; an ' x-ray film of
her chest would probably
I show big nodes and a blood
I test - the red blood scdimen-
tation rate ("sed rate")
would "be up, ' showing tne
presence of a serious disease.
I should say that usually
when for some time an active
girl has one swelling in her
armpit which gets sore for a
few days each month, the di
agnosis is obvious: she has an
extra bit of breast tissue there.
I should say that never in
my life did I see a cancer form
in such a situation, so I doubt
if a woman with such a con
dition should worry about this
possibility.

' AND WHEN MY HITCH M
IS OVER, THE WARRANTY j
ON MY NEW VALIANT
WILL STILL BE IN EFFECTlJ
If the pfc had bought some other make of cat
before his 3-year enlistment, the warranty on
it would be long dead when he got out. But his
Valiant Warranty will still have two years to go.
Valiant has America's longest and best new-cat
warranty-5 years or 50,000 miles.
H. Gletcher of Houston, Tex.,
discusses the Cobalt-60 unit,
sometimes called a "bomb"
because the radioactive cobalt
is enclosed in a big metal bar- j
rel-like case hanging from a
strong metal stand. Cobalt
supplies much of the same i
type of healing radiation giv- j
en off by radium. - I
This simple apparatus
(bomb) has proven to be so
useful and so easily kept in
good running order that there
are now some 1,200 cobalt
units in use. Today, to a large
extent, the cobalt radiation
has taken the place of the old
radium emanation. The new
type of treatment is particu
larly helpful in cases of cancer
in the space back of the nose
and throat. It also is very
helpful in getting rid of dis
tressing symptoms such as the
pain of cancer. Often its use
prolongs life, and in many
cases it cures.
Another type of so-called
super-voltage treatment is giv
en with x-ray machines which
can now generate energies up
to 25 million volts. Other
types of machines generate
35 million volts. Fifty years
ago, a good x-ray machine
produced perhaps 50 thousand
volts of energy. As Dr. Fletch
er says, 80 per cent of the
cancer patients he and his as
sociates treat are now given
super-voltage x-ray treatment.
It has greatly improved the
results obtained in cases of
cancer in the back of the
throat, the urinary bladder
and the neck of the womb.
A great advantage of using
super-voltage machines is that
with them the skin tolerates
a much larger dose of the
rays, and a larger dose of the
rays is what we need to kill
off the cancer cells. In the
early days of radiation treat
ment, the expert could not
kill all of the cells in a cancer
deep in the body because if
he were to use a big enough
dose he would burn the skin.
It was this burning of the
skin that many years ago gave
x-rays a bad name. Today
burning Is rare.
Patients with cancer should
know that no type of radiation
is of value in those cases in
which the cancer is not sensi
tive to radiation (the cancer
cells are not killed by rays).
Also, patients with a cancer
that has come back after radi
ation will probably not toler
ate more radiation. Such treat
ment would bring only more
trouble, perhaps severe.
In his booklet, "What We
Know About Cancer," Dr. Al
varez lists the 19 danger sig
nals older persons must not
ignore. You may obtain a copy
of this booklet by sending 25
cents and a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your

Redden Introduces
Court Legislation j
Legislation which he ex
pects to assist courts in clear
ing dockets and expediting i
justice in open and shut debt
actions, has been introduced
at this session of the legisla
ture by Representative James

would provide authority to
Oregon courts to enter sum
mary judgments in actions to
recover upon a debt or liqui
dated demand, and cover ac
tions to enforce or foreclose
liens.
Under the proposed law tin
meritorious actions or dila
tory defenses to meritorious
actions could be ruled upon
by the courts upon motion of
either party, substantiated by
affidavit. Redden said.
