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.
