Higher In Cities .. So far as cancer is concerned, is it safer to live in the country than the city? The American Cancer Society is developing preliminary plans for a study to answer this question. Sta- tistically, it has determined that the disparity between cancer deaths in rural and urban living can be as much as 43 pe cent. The bigger the city, moreover, analysis of 1950 death rates showed the higher the cancer mortality rate.

Andrus Talks On Consolidation Says ‘Larger District Gives Better Chance Dallas Township PTA meeting, Charles Rinehimer presiding, was held Monday night at ‘the High School. Robert Dolbear was named chairman of the nominating com- mittee, assisted by Mrs. Charles Watkins, Mrs. Clarence Laidler, Mrs. Lawrence Updyke, Mrs. James Mitchell, Charles Roberts, and Ed- ward Dorrance. Mrs. Robert Milne, chairman of school improvement committee, will be assisted by Mesdames Sheldon Mosier, Arthur Harris, Ray Elston, George Dymond, Robert Snyder, Al Montross and Arthur Newman. Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Laidler will attend the May 1 district PTA meeting in Forty Fort as delegates. Executive Board meeting is sched- uled for May 12. Dr. Harvey A. Andrus, president of Bloomsburg State Teachers Col- lege, spoke on the need for con- solidation to provide a broader ed- ucational basis for providing for above-average and below-average pupils instead of trying to tailor educational needs for a purely mythical average student. An av- erage student, stated Dr. Andrus, is a figment of a statistician’s charts, never met in actual life. Raymond Kuhnert, supervising principal, urged attendance at the Town Meeting, scheduled for April high school auditorium to further discuss matters taken up at a sim- ilar meeting March 13. “HOME TOPICS Timely Reminders from The Pennsylvania State University College of Agriculture Light Wasted—Too small a light bulb is wasteful rather ‘than ecno- nomical. For studying, reading, or sewing, a 150-watt bulb is recom- mended. The smallest that should be used for this close work is a 100-watt bulb, Sanna Black, Penn State extension home management specialist, reports. Select Safe Toys—Baby’s first toys will spend “a great deal of time in his mouth. That's why the toys should be large enough so they can't be swallowed, says Marguerite L. Duvall, Penn State extension child development specialist. If the toy is washable, it will be easier to keep clean. Mid-morning Snack—The pre- school child may become hungry and tired between breakfast and lunch. Marjorie J. Wormeck, Penn State extension nutritionist, sug- gests a mid-morning snack of fruit or milk and a cracker served at the table. Use Fine Oil—When oiling a sew- ing machine use a high-grade ma- chine oil especially prepared for sewing machines. Buy oil from sewing machine manufacturers who guarantee their oil not to gum. Paint Buildings—The life of a farm buildig can be increased by 10 to 16 years simply by applying paint when needed. Inspect all buildings and figure the amount of paint needed, but don't wait too long. Spring and fall are good sea- sons for outside painting.
