Mr. Williams, mentioning next year as the year when government orders would decrease, told the ARF that there were many consumer wants not satia- fied today. He also believes the economy is prosperous and pre- sents a challenge to the sales abilities of “retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers.” Williams admitted consumer savings were not what they were after World War II but said salesmanship could make up for the lack of savings, He advocated in- creased production as the key to raising the standatd of living, noting that an intelligent selling program would be necessary to keep production at peak lévels after dé- fense orders slacken. : The Under-Secretary of Commerce takes the same When Yo WTRI?1S—e u Need It, You Need It Fast!

HIGHTOWER P hor tis Ottery United ates was reported Wed. as de- termined to stand firm, in any truce talks which develop in Ko- rea, on the principle that prisoners of war shall not forcibly be re- turned home. ‘Officials puzaling over a Korean Plan broadcast by Chi- mmunist Premier Chou En- a; B9 : i : i il 38 it nite hi F i position that several economic advisers to.former Presi-| dent Harry Truman took a short time ago. They foresaw a drop in government defense orders but advocated an increase in the standard of living, and increased pro- duction as the key to avoiding an economic recession. _ Evidently, Williams holds much the same view and it is interesting to note in this regard that the population increase, which is an annual occurrence in the United States helps buying power in the United States annually. Thus the increase in population will be another factor which can help to prevent a severe drop in total consumer demand. Most of the consumer experts seem agteéd on ‘the prospect that 1964 will be the test year for the U.S. economy, but many of them are convinced that no major recession will be experienced even then, With the in- ¢reasing population and with the attempt of thé Ad- ministration of President Dwight Eisenhower to increase the standard of living, the effects of reduced government buying may be felt very little. If this outlook proves cor- rect, it may be some time before a major economic re- ceasion is experienced in this country. Some of the finest friendships are made in church. ' KES LESS HIS MOTORCYCLE” Cancer Of The Stomach Takes Biggest Toll (Editor's Note: The following story on cancer is the third of @ series written for The Associated Press by Dr. Owen E.

The cure rate is as high as 60 per cent when the cancer has not spread to the glands adjoining the fensive and that when the truce talks are resumed and practical stomach, When these glands are involved the cure falls to 10 per cént. It is indeed tragic that so often when a cancer of the sto- mach is detected, it has progressed so far that a curative operation cannot be undertaken. The problem, then, is early rec- ognition, What are the symptoms of stom- ach cancer that any person can recognize? They can be summed up in the term “indigestion.” In- digestion means many things to many people—ranging from heart burn, dyspepsia or loss of appe- tite to nausea, pain and vomiting. It is folly for persons experiencing such symptoms for any period of time to treat themselves for in- digestion. Expert diagnosis called for. While pills may stop the signs for trouble, the cancer—if one is. present—is given time to grow. More important, however, than recognition of these symptoms or signs is a periodic X-ray examina- tion by specialists of all people past 40—the age after which stom- ach cancer most often strikes. By the time a stomach cancer is diagnosed on the basis of sym- toms, it probably has been present for two years. This long silent in- terval and the frequent occurrence of stomach cancer definitely sug- gests that the most effective way of early detection is by periodic X-ray examination. People without symptoms who are found by X- ray to be harboring a silent cancer show a far higher cure rate after operations than those where the cancer has been detected because of symptoms.

Banford, who says he’s been as bald as an Easter egg for 20 of his 45 years, has new hope today for a crop of fuzz—or some- thing better. Banford said he had received from Donald S. Gates, an Albright professor, a “sure cure”. formula for baldness uncovered by Gates in thumbing through a book pub- lished in 1742, The formula’s ingredients: Two ounces of boar’s grease, one dram (about 60 grains by present apothecary weight) of ashes of burnt bees, one dram of ashes of southern wood, one dram of juice of white dilly root (the dilly is a small hardwood tree found in Florida), one dram of oil of sweet almonds, and six drams of pure musk. “I think I can get hold of those other things,” said Banford, “but what's worrying me are those burnt bees.” * Key West In Days Gone By From The Citizen Files 20 YEARS AGO TODAY ‘This date fell on Sunday.
