A few decades ago this form of cancer was rare. In 1952, lung can- cer killed 21,000 out of the 225,000 who died in the United States from all types of cancer, To cut this rising mortality the American Cancer Society has laun- ched an intensive educational pro- gram to persuade men over for- ty-five to have chest x-rays twice a year, however well they may feel. Through x-rays it is possible to detect lung cancer in the “sil- ent” stage, before symptoms ap- pear, when cancer is most cura- ble. Today only one in 20 with this type of cancer is cured. Through early detection and treatment, half should be saved. Thus far the reasons for the un- Kenner Writes Mrs. Welters At Service Center Isaac Kenner U. S. S. Peterson DE-152 co F, P. 0.

The range is shifting cause the onset of puberty, which marks beginning of adolescence, varies with different individuais. As in the case of other periods there are no hard and fast boun- dary lines. The hypothetical ‘average child’ is still elusive. He defies definition. The behavior of a ten-year old child depends upon his stage of maturity, previous acts, thoughts, and feelings, as well as on his pre- sent bodily condition and his im- mediate environment. Each child has a past in which he has de- veloped a unique personality. Children early become aware of other persons. They are sensitive to prestige, ridicule and social sta- tus long before they can express themselves on these points. In the pre-school years, fear of failure, embarrassment, and loss of pres- tige begin to be evident and tend to increage in many environments, During pre-adolescent years, with sufficient environmental stimula- tion, team spirit, class spirit, and gang loyalty may be developed. The word gang has an unsavory connotation which appears to be justified. Thrasher pointed out that the gang appeals to boys as an escape from hum-drum exis- ence and insofar as it does fur- nish excitement and adventure, it makes adjustment to adult routine existence difficult. Thus; it has a demoralizing effect rather than a constructive socializing effect. Boys Clubs, if substantiated for Boys’ Gangs, would meet the boys’ need for adventure and, at the same time, be a constructive influence in helping children to adjust to, an din some small way, to recon- struct society, Progressive education hopes to substitute habits of co-operation for habits of competition. Leadership becomes more prom- inent. Preferred leaders usual- ly appear to be superior, but not very superior, to the group in in- telligence, somewhat extroverted, lively, courageous, and physically superior. Children who are gentle, friendly, and charming frequently though they are not likely to be placed in positions of leadership. they are too drastic. Therefore, individual development and guid- ance of children is the task of edu- cation. Without guidance few chil- of this age to one another the spinal factor plays a part.

Is Lung Cancer Caused By Smoking? precedented lung cancer rise are not understood. Superficially it has been noted that city dwellers seem to have a higher lung cancer death rate than thos living in rural areas but this discrepancy can possibly Be ac- counted for by the fact that errors in diagnosis result in under-report- ing lung cancer fatalities in coun- try districts. Coal tar and certain oils have been found to contain chemical a- gents which are capable of pro- ducing cancer in experimental ani- mals. These possible lung-cancer- causing sources include exhaust fumes from automobiles, dust from asphalt roads, dust and fumes from coal and oil furnaces and from certain industrial processes which pollute the air in many ur- ban communities. But the factor that is receiving the most serious attention from in- vestigators is smoking. The American Cancer Society in January, 1952, initiated a research study on smoking habits that by 1956 should produce a definite ans- wer to the question of whether smoking is an important factor in the sensational growth of lung can- cer in this A At the start of the study, 22,000 volunteers from ACS units in Cali- fornia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin inter- viewed 204,000 men between the ages of 50 and 69 to determine their smoking histories. Each of these men will be checked at an- nual intervals and for each death reported that cause will be noted from death certificates. The Society’s educational cam- paign uses leaflets, advertisements for which space is contributed, ra- weapon is a film, “The Warning Shadow,” made in cooperation with the National Cancer Institute, now being shown throughout the coun- try by the Society. The ACS educational campaign, the survéy on smoking, and re- search in many laboratories on lung cancer is supported by funds raised during the April Cancer Crusade. are doing -and help you to con-| | Mon. and Tues., Indianapolis Clowns _ NEGRO AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAM WICKERS STADIUM TICKETS SOLD 3-4, 8:15 P.M.
