Whither’—Ye Statesmen! # On November 1, an important election is on the calendar All of the nation's House of Representatives will be elected. as well as one- third of its senators. Lik#wise, the same ratio will take place in the State of Pennsylvania. In some respects, it is the most amazing pre- election campaign we have ever witnessed It is even se topwy-turvy in the Republican ranks of leadership, that about the only thing left for the independent voter to do is to cast a ballot for the Democrats ~at least they seem to pretty well know what they are attempting And statements made to the press last week by President Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense Mr. Wilson, regarding his sent. that while “he hatt & lot of sympathy” for the jobless in the labor areas, he always “liked bird dogs better and kennel. " places him in the position of being just about the greatest to the Democratic campaign that even the most hopeful could want. Can anyone imagine an unemployed miner with a home and a family here in Northern Cambria, being able to desert them, and travel hither and yon in search of employment ? : , of course, whether the Republicans will be However, when it : days of this campaign. Some most conservative Republican daily press business” administra he will live Eyl i “As | See It” By . .. STATE SENATOR JOHN J. HALURKA . For quite some time doctors throughout the nation at odds as to whether or not cig- arette smokers might be afflicted with cancer of the lungs A few months ago &! a meting held by the American Association al l.os Angeles, one of the outst and ing M. D's was lecturing on this sub ject ing the thous ands of doctors bled that cigar ette smoking de finitely was the cause of lung cancer. However, while discussing this subject, we are informed that the conven. tion hall was so filled with cigs telte smoke that while the speak. er was heard he could not be seen. Evidently those assembled paid little attention if any. to the lecturer Not too far back a prominent cigarette manufacturer kept ad tertising on TV that five New York doctors had gone on record that their particular brand of cigarelles was god for the throat. Other doctors throughout the nation were informing public through TV programs that Sifaratie smoking was not harm. ful to humans So the battle rag- od between the pros and the cons and no one seemed to know who was right and whiy. Now we find the the Public Health Cancer Association of New York State a! a meeting held at Buffalo recently, passed a resclu- tion offered ‘by Dr. Morton L. Levin, assistant New York State Health Commissioner, that the public should be informed that this p has gone on record de finitely stating that there was sip between smoking n ung cancer Well, well, let us analyze contents of this resolution. First why do these doctors only refer to cigarette amoking” It appears tor un that water is water whether we drink it out of a glass or out of a cup and in the same sense tobacco is tobacco whether it is smoked in cigarettes, pipes or ci- gars. Had these doctors gone on record thal the using of tobacco might show =a relationship with lung cancer, we the American pe- ople may have paid some atten tion to their findings. But when they refer to cigarette smoling cnly, It appears to us that they have beer’ Medical | inform. | who were aesen. | the | sufficient evidence of the relation. | cigarettes | the | fare far off the beaten path nso. far as true research Gevelopments Pare concerned i Could it be thal some {dortors could be i i of theses interested in a pipe manufacturing concern since many of them are advocating pipe smoking, even suggesting it the feminine mex of our country’ {Do they assure us that if we {take the tobacco contents of » Cignretle and smoke it in a pipe {that there will be no danger of oontracting a lung cancer” Will they assure us that if the same tobacco 8 smoked In a cigar | from that again we are free from i ithe anme danger | Bometimes we wonder as to the | findings of these so-called experts {We often times wonder whether ithe American people are gullible {enough to accept their findings. {regarding these cures and diseases (us final We venture to say that [more doctors smoke cigarettes than any other profession on enrth. Surely, if for one minute they thought it was so dangerous they certainly would abolish this habit Now naturally we are not in a position to confirm or condemn Any reasoning siong these lines that cigarette amoking creates teancer of the lungs Bat we do believe that if cigaretie smoking is dangercus that pi and cigar smoking must be placed in the same category. If the doctors take the position that pipe and we smoking is cancerous {ree then we definitely must take the posi tion that cigaretlis smolting falls in that category Our reading public can now readily understand how certain cures or sutions are now ar rived at. suse, nothing definite {has been proven to make us be- i Heve that their opinions are wor {thy of consideration, because sone of these same medicos have gone on record that the Hoxsey Method of treating cancer. in their opin. ton, is worthless. But like cigar- | .#lle smoking, they have never tn | tl ‘ken the pains to thoroughly in- | | vestigate the Hoxsey product and method 10 make Certain that it has no value before a wholesale | condemnation by their groups | We sincerely believe that be- (fore any product is frowned up| {on by the medical association it ishould first be ly and impartially investigated not by opinions, but by facts.
