intentions for the spring of 1956
pigs born between Dec- 1, 1955
and June 1, 1956 indicate 81,-
000 sows to farrow, 5 per cent
more than in the springof 1955,
but 2 per cent below average,
the Department said-'
If these intentions materialize
and the number of pigs saved per
litter equals the spring average,
this year’s spring pig crop should
total, 567,000 head or 28,000 more
than for the same period in 1955,
the survey showed.
Last year 1,008,000 pigs were
raised on Pennsylvania farms, an
increase of 9 per cent from the
1954 crop, but 4 per cent below
the 10-year average.
The 1955 spring pig crop at
539,000 head was 8 per cent
larger than the 1954 spring pig
crop The fall of 1955 pig crop
at 469,000 was up 10 per cent
from the fall of 1954
The number of sows farrowing
in the fall of 1955 was estimated
at 66,000 head an increase of
10 per cent from the fall of 1954
Pigs saved per litter during the
fall averaged 7.1, the same as a
year earlier, and the 10-year
average.
RESEARCH ON THE MARCH
Since 1945, the American Can
cer Society has spent $4l mil
lion on cancer research in the
U S This amount included the
awarding of 2,439 grants-m-aid,
501 fellowships and scholarships,
352 institutional and special pur
pose grants and 13 lung cancer

for a cancer cure.

Look It’s Almost Spring
Don’t let those occasional snows and
snappy mornings convince you spring is
far, far away. There’s evidence here
with some Lancaster County piglets'
that the prediction of the Slumbering
Lodge of Groundhogs may ring true.
News Report
From Washington
Washington, —Secret' reports
by diplomats, pouring into cap
itals in every part’ of the world,
indicate that many observers in
the Midle East expect war to
break out in this area of theworld
this sprmg.
There are those who say such
an outcome is inevitable Because
Russia has begun to furnish arms
for the Arab countries, Israel is
placed m the exact position in
which Germany found itself, in
1941.
The Arab countries around tiny
Israel boast a population that
gives Arab Army commanders
20 times the manpower available
to Israel But, as yet, this man
power is largely untrained, and
the Arab armies, are small and
generally ndt modernly equipped
As of right now, the Israeli Ar
my could probably ddfend itself
successfully against the combined
forces of the Arab countries The
most efficient Arab Army is that
of Egypt, which has been rushing
rearmament at a furious pace
There aie some who believe
Israel would win a war, if it were
touched off immediatly The Is
raelis, however, might have to
subdue their neighbors to the
north and east, and then turn
their attention to and her
allies, on what would be the de
cisive front.
Israel Central Position
Or, Israel might seek to crush
the stronger foe first In any
event, Israel would occupy the
central position, as Germany has
done in two world wars, and it
would be up to Israel to decide
where to strike the first blow.
By concentrating her forces,
there is little doubt that Israel
could mount an effective offens
ive in an opening blow against
her adversaries.
The burning question is Wheth
er Israel is in the
faced Germany, when
mobilization was orderecpjuJflM
In those days it took Several
months to complete motMization
The General Staff of thepifaiser’s
armies already had a plipMbf, op
erations in the event Fiance and
Russia (bound by an |pliance)
were to go to war against Ger
many.
Quick German Thrust
The plan called for
German thrust, in overwhelming
strength, to crush France, first.
Then, with English troops barred
from French soil, the ’ Germans
would turn back to the east, in
time to meet the vast armies of
slowly - mobilizing Russia The'
German plan almost worked but
the Kaiser’s armies were stopped
on the Marne, partly because the
great offensive in France was not
allotted ,the number of divisions
the French offensive called for.

20 Times Manpower
there’s a touch of spring in the'air. Due
apologies to the youngsters above for any
reference to groundhog, but they seem to
be either sensing Spring or perhaps
another meal-time?
Washington lias sought to pour
oil on the troubled waters but is
up against the fact that this coun
try has a small but influential
Jewish population that screams
every time aid is sent the Arabs
Yet the State - Department feels
that the Arabs far more num
erous and in a strategic position
in the Middle East, cannot be
alienated completely cut off
from arms aid.
Russians Offer Arabs Arms
The Russians moved into this
picture several months ago and
offered to sell arms to Arab coun
tries and are threatening to gain
the dominant role in the Arab
countries as a result The State
Department cannot allow this to
happen It has tried to send small
quantities of material to Arab
countries, promised under old
agreements, in some cases, and
also offer Israel comparable aid
The policy has pleased neither
side. Now reports come saying
that Israel—facing large - scale
Arab rearmament from Russian
sources—will attack her enemies
this spring, to force a decision
while conditions still give her a
good chance of winning.
The weather balloons Russia
has been protesting against actu
ally did carry cameras. These
balloons were released from coun
tries near Russian territory and
many drifted over the USSR.
They contained two cameras, one
for photographing technical data
and the other for photographing
clouds.
Of course, in all this picture
work, some good shots of the
Russian landscape were obtained
too. You can’t photograph clouds
CANCER COSTS $l2 BILLION
Some 500,000 new cancer cases
will be reported this year in the
U S , while a total of 700,000 will
be under medical care for can
cer That means a loss of 3,500,-
000 man-years of work and will
cost the economy $l2 billion in
loss of goods and services,
