Public Health Service, said recently there is some pros- pect that “blocking agents” will be developed to attack cancer. He said these agents would strike diseased tissue but would not attack normal tissue. Scheele did- not make sensational claims although he said the chemical approach to cancer was a distinct possibility. He merely said, in listing what he thought would be the next advances of medical science, the pros- pect that a chemical treatment of cancerous tissue would soon elvolve. At one point, Scheele made the following forecast: “Scientists in some of the nation’s great medical re- search centers pursued new biochemical leads inten- sively. There is good evidence we will eventually have a biochemical diagnostic test that will detect cancer| cells in any part of the.body and “blocking agents” that} will effectively attack those cells....” Scheele also reported there was a simple test to de- tect cancer of the uterine cervix in an early stage and that treatment at an early stage was practically 100 per cent successful. This cancer often goes into an in- curable cervical cancer, but studies, according to Scheele, show that cervical cancers remain in the curable stage for as long as five or six years, The major problem concerned, he said, is to get women to come in for examinations. The anxiety of some newspaper writers to present news leads them to publish fiction. Most of the good things that come to individuals in life have to be paid for in some manner. Careless typewriting, or type-setting, adds many new, and sometimes luscious words to the language. The power of money, and its influence upon men, is never better illustrated than when it is illustrated. Most of the gossip in this community is one of two things; imagination or jealousy—or combinations there- of, Crossword Puzzle IBIAIL DEEP AIC!

PEOPLE’S FORUM The Citizen welcomes expressions of the views of ifs read- ers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which are considered libelous or unwarranted. The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 200 words and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writer must accompany the letters and will be published unless requested otherwise. COFFEE DEMAND Editor, The Citizen: On the subject of coffee prices, or the prices of any marketable product for that matter, I’ll always remem- ber the Arkansas hoss-trader who, in one simple state-| | ment, took all the mystery out of the so-called “law” of supply and demand that had previously perplexed me. When I met him, a merry little man with a twinkle in his eye, he was busy polishing up a healthy looking mare for a prospective customer who was on his way} to look her over. “How much you gonna ask for her?” I asked him. “T dunno, yet,” he grinned. “I gotta see first how bad the guy wants her.” There it was. Just as simple as that. And so it is with coffee. So long as Americans de- mand coffee at any price, so will it be supplied to them— at a price. The coffee traders will see to that. Pll buy. you a cup o’ coffee if you publish this, No kidding, FREDERICK H. GREEN 645 United Street CLUNKER PROTEST REPEATED Editor, The Citizen: Quite awhile ago, the police promised to haul old cars and trucks that didn’t have license plates off the Streets. o There’s an old clunker on Petronia not far from North Beach that has been there for over two years with no plates. I reported this to the police twice but they did nothing. I haul marl and am obliged to use Petronia Street to get to my job. Each time I pass this old jalopy I have the bad luck to meet oncoming cars. Squeezing in between it and the cars that are parked across the street from it is no easy job. I wonder if I hit some car if the police force would pay the damages. ‘ You bet your sweet life they won’t. Then why don’t they get traffic hazards out of the way like they prom- ised? J. McGEE Stock Island Gen. Delivery NEGLECT OF OLD FOLKS Editor, The Citizen: Mr. Bill Gibb wrote a very timely article in his| recent comment on parents being neglected by children. In my neighborhood there is such a case. I’ve known, this person and all of his family for many, many years,| | In fatt we are all dyed-in-the-wool Conchs. This kind old soul has been a kind, thoughtful, lov-| ing father; I’ve seen his many acts of kindness with my| own two eyes. Some of his married children make their home with him, which means they have no rent to pay, yet these children refuse to give up their jobs to take care of him now that he is old and feeble and confined to his bed- room. I’m not suggesting that all members of the home give up their jobs by any means, but this old gentleman needs a full time conepanion or attendant, instead of! being left alone while the children work, or perhaps are asleep after working all night. I’ve seen with my own two eyes people go to his home to see him or even to inquire about him, turn away for all they find is a house in darkness, and no gne to admit them. There are other children who are well-to-do, that!

I hear by the grapevine that the inspection is going to be a real one this year. Most Key Westers feel that the inspection of motor vehicles is a round-about method of collecting taxes, They don’t mind paying the three dollars a year but they do object to favoritism being shown certain jalopies and also, to the fact that the inspections are con- ducted semi-annually instead of once a year. a 4 Reimbursement for previously de-| It is true that in the it, vi I’m writing this in hopes it will meet their eyes, al- ducted items hicle owners have obtaitd stickers though there are doubtless identical cases, so they may} Rents , | for wrecks that shouldn’t be allow- not fit the shoe to their own foot. nar econ ed on the streets.

The late Bernard Frank’s last wish was not of him- self, but of his fellow man. He cared not only for those he knew, but for the world of men and women he will never meet. Bernard Frank’s wish that “flowers” for his funeral be in the form of personal donations to the American Cancer Society, resulted in the following: Ethea Stricker, $2; Fred Knight (in the name of Boy Scout Troop 54,) $5; Edna W. and Jay W. Land, $3; Isadore Weintraub, $2; George Conant, $1; Lt. and Mrs. Lewis L. Jennison, $3. Total contributions: $16. The response need not be limited to one occasion. For as long as there are people, there will be the need for disease prevention. Recently in Key West, there have been numerous “drives” for funds, making it difficult for| many to give. But by “giving ’til ft hurts” you may off- set the deeper hurt of seeing your loved ones unaided when disease strikes. According to the American Cancer Society, cancer claims the life of one American every 2 and one-third minutes. But the greatest tragedy is that many do not know that cancer, if detected early, is curable. Why does the American Cancer Society need funds? | To keep you informed of the danger signals; of what to| do; of where to go.
