“Granny, What WAS Cancer?”
Someday your granddaughter will ask you, ‘Granny,
just what WAS cancer?”
And you will be able to say, “Cancer was something
that used to kill a lot of folks. But nobody dies of cancer
nowadays. It was very dreadful. Doctors couldnt do
very much, but they were looking for ways to cure it, and
ways to prevent it. People in research laboratories worked
to find out what caused cancer, and finally, they found it.”
Someday, cancer will be a thing of the past.
It will be stricken from the list of killers, just as
diphtheria and typhoid fever and smallpox have been.
And mere Pecently polio. = ) ;
+ Rémember how mothers dreaded the polio season?
You older mothers, remember when diphtheria was
a scourge, and when typhoid fever was commonplace?
A community that admits to a case of typhoid in
these enlightened times hangs its head in shame.
With protective shots, children who once would have
died in the dreaded ‘‘second summer” lived to become
mothers themselves, and grandmothers.
The break-through on cancer research is close at
hand, closer every day. It is conceivable that within our
life span cancer and its ravages will be so far in the past
that you will have to think twicebefore answering your
granddaughter’s question.
You will tell her that her Aunt Millie's mother did
die of “cancer, but that this was before medical men had
found the remedy, and more important still, how to detect
the first warning symptoms. A simple test, you will explain.
- But it was not worked out before hundreds of thousands
of people had died needlessly. a
And of course, it took a lot of money to finance the
research.
It was expensive, but people knew that the solution
was just around the corner, and they were thankful that
they could contribute to a battle against a disease that
might strike any time, any place.
Each year they supported the Cancer Drive, know-
ing that their dollars would help arrest a killer.
Knowing that individual contributions were toc small
to do very much, but that the sum total of the collection
was enough to finance the study of what caused cancer
and what could ward it off, cure it if it slipped past all
barriers and struck down a victim.
Think how many antibiotics have been released for
circulation during the past ten years; how many protec-
tions there now are for children; how much has been
discovered that will prolong useful life.
Cancer remains. But its conquest is in sight.
So that your granddaughter may ask, “Granny, just
what WAS cancer?” make your contribution to the
present cancer drive,

Motor Club Protests
Dear Mrs. Risley:
For many years I have had a great respect for the
reportorial and editorial accuracy of the Dallas Post. It
has been one newspaper which reported facts and used
reason in its editorial policy. I must, however, take sharp
issue with the editorial entitled “What New Highway?”
The writer of this piece asked questions and made state-
ments totally apart from the fact.
To begin with, plans for the highway (U.S. 309) were
completed some time ago. Had they not been it would
not have been possible to condemn buildings to make way
for the reconstruction. Nor would it have been possible
for the Pennsylvania Department of Highways to adver-
tise the construction for bid by a contractor.
Several detailed studies of the entire area between
the Wyoming Valley and the Back Mountain Area were
made by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways be-
fore a decision as to location was made. As a matter of
fact, portions of the street railway right-of-way will be
used for the reconstructed highway.
_ The Lehigh Valley Railroad has agreed to a reloca-
tion of a small segment of their trackage. This will be
done at the expense of the Department of Highways and
the railroad will not be “put out of business.”
= The Directors and Staff of the Motor Club have work-
ed very hard to help resolve the problems which have
faced this reconstruction. Basically, the obstacles which

PENNSYLVANIA: Seed of a Nation.
By Paul A. W. Wallace. 322 pages.
New York and Evanston: Harper &
"| Row. $6.95.
Dr. Wallace, formerly a college
teacher of English, has been a pro-
fessional historian for a long time.
Over the past seventeen years he has
written six books on items pertain-
ing to Pennsylvania: Conrad Weiser,
Friend of Colonist and Mohawk; The
White Roots of Peace; The Muhlen-
bergs of Pennsylvania; Thirty Thou-
sand Miles with John Heckewelder;
Indians in Pennsylvania, and now
this one. Currently he is on the
staff of The Pennsylvania Historical
and Museum Commission as editor
and contributor to historical periodi-
cals. He, knows a lot of and has
access to a lot more, Pennsylvania
history.
This book contains no chronology
and pays little attention to dates.
There is no attempt to build up a
framework or maintain. continuity.
It is intended more as good readable
material which will leave impres-
sions, although there is a good index
dent. :
The thirty-three chapters each
cover a period, a people, a man or
men, a series of events, some special
program or movement, a place, or an
industry. Some of the headings are
intriguing. -
A good map showing the land, In-
dian occupation, canals, historical
sites, etc., is included three times,
inside each cover and once in the
text. Several maps from his Indians
in Pennsylvania are included.
Description of the natural features
of the state is headed, “Three Riv-
ers.” - Indians are covered by two
chapters, not consecutive, “We Came
Out of This Ground” and “The '‘Bea-
ver Wars.” In between is ‘Enter
the European.”
“William Penn,” whom the author
greatly admires, is given full treat-
ment, followed by “The Holy Experi-
ment” and ‘Peace Without Paci-
fism.” “The Melting Pot” and ‘The
Capital and the Frontier” carry for-
ward the early settlement days and
the government under The Penns.
The French and Indian War period,
and general frontier conditions, cov-
er three chapters, the Revolution
and following organization period
only two. After that the author
leaves aside any continuous narra-
tive and includes separate subjects,
each complete in itself, and not in
sequence of time. Benjamin Frank-
lin, Milton Hershey, Andrew Mellon,
and Owen J, Roberts are described
rather fully as examples of Pennsyl-
vanians.
Interesting anecdotes of certain
robbers are given fn a chapter,
The semi-monastic settlements at
Ephrata and Old Economy are cov-
ered by “Some Pennsylvania Uto-
pias.” The Moravian Indian Missions
rate a chapter, as does also “The
Underground Railroad.” Canals and
and bibliography for the serious stu-
“Robin Hood was at home here!!!

EE RN NN SN NN NN NNO YI YY YY YY
railroads are covered in ‘Breaking
the Mountain Barrier.”
chapters cover the great iron manu-
facturing days; mining, ‘Dusky Dia-
monds;” lumbering, “Green top
Gold”: oil, “Black Gold.” In each of
these he gives stories, folklore, songs,
etc., as well as work and statistics.
For example, Williamsport was the
lumber capital of the world for thirty
years. Biggest pine tree recorded
cut in the West Branch woods made
a spar ninety-three feet long, bottom
diameter forty-three inches (meas-
ured twelve feet from the butt), top
diameter thirty-three inches. He is
very rough on the early industrialists
and their economic and political
influence, and gives a full chapter to
labor movement in Pennsylvania.
The growth and development of
political parties and the changing
political climate covers several
chapters, here and there. The Civil
War period is headed, “Abraham
Lincoln in Pennsylvania.” = Closing
chapters cover The Arts, and sepa-
rate ones on Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia.
Much has been written about cer-
tain regions of the country, such as
New England, The South, The Mid-
west, etc. This book is included in
The Regions of America Series, the
author and editors taking the view
that Pennsylvania is a distant re-
gion.
This is an interesting book.
PENNSYLVANIA'S BEST. By A. H.
Carstens 318 pp. Cresco, Pa. Penn-
sylvania Publications. New edition.
Special price $6.60.
This is listed as Pennsylvania’s
contribution to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. It contains no
chronology, framework, or continu-
ity and the index is worse than none.
The book is in four sections, divided
into chapters, and the references are
by regions, sections and chapters, no
page references being given. There
are no maps, but a lot of good photo
graphs,
Mr. Carstens specializes in tourist
publications, pamphlets, and leaflets,
and this book is really a tourist
guide. It contains a lot of history,
much not found in ordinary history
books, but it is hard to find. Any
particular area will be covered by
good history, and maybe on the
same page a build up for some tour-
ist attraction, or some tourist accom-
modations.
Rather full attention is given to
state parks, probably every one in
the state being mentioned. Here and
there are sections of ‘Additional
points of historic interest” which
seem to follow fairly closely the in-
formation given on the state histori-
cal markets as listed by the Pennsyl-
vanig Historical and Museum Com-
missions in “Guide to The Historical
Markers of Pennsylvania.”
For visiting anywhere in the state,
either in person, by car or otherwise,
or by armchair methods, this is a
good book.

Ed. Note: The Dallas Post hopes there will be no
further delay. Also the new highway has been a dream
of this area for years. For too long a peritd it has been
delayed by one difficulty or another. When the old build-
ings are torn down and the highway actually goes
through, the improvement should bring many new people
to the Back Mountain. It will necessarily cause a tre-
mendous bottleneck of traffic during the time of con-
struction.
Many residents have become discouraged because of
the delays. Three years from now, when they are break-
ing the speed limit on the new highway, they will have
forgotten the exasperations. :
Let us hope that a fringe benefit will be elimination
of billboards. -~Hix.
Mae Givens Will Be
Buried Today At 1:30
Mae Givens, Trucksville, who died

admission to Nesbitt Hospital, will
be buried this afternoon from the
funeral home at 568 Bennett Street,

be at Memorial Shrine.
Miss Givens refused ambulance
service, was transported by private
car from her home on Hill Street
to Nesbitt after suffering the pre.
liminary cerebral hemorrhage.
For many years she had been
identified with the life of the com-
munity, keeping house for Dr. and
Mrs. G. L. Howell, going back to
Mrs. Howell after the doctor's
death, and dividing her, services
‘among women of the community,
including the wife of Trucksville's
Methodist minister.
She was born in Plymouth, but
spent most of her life in Trucks-
ville. Her nephew Keith Garey
shared a home with her.
Other survivors are: a sister, Mrs.
Flossie Garey, Luzerne, nieces and
nephews.

Better Leighton Never
by Leighton Scott
SAVE OUR MUSIC
I am a great student of popular
music, as anyone ‘knows who has
ever heard me glibly sum up a song
in one pungent articulation and
stand around looking pontifical.
I grew up with rock n’ roll, which
may or may not explain my often
child-like fancy. In any case it's
tough to get those blank stares from
today’s teenager when I mumble out
loud: What ever happened to Bill
Haley ?
“Somebody stole my rockin’ chair,
but I'm gonna rock some more!”
Those were the days when sax and
drums led the big sound, and Life
magazine, which used to be a great
publication, was doing tongue-in-
cheek pictorials on how rock ’n roll
was going to destroy youth's moral
fibre.
Electric guitars were still music
media strictly for Clyde Cornfed and
his Skunk Valley Boys.
Rock 'n roll had a long way to go,
and some maintain it never went
there. It’s never a matter of taste
with such snobs. To them their
comment on popular music must al-
ways assume proportions of an in-
quisition.
In any case, the critics simply
made the kids more defiant, and an
enthusiastic counter-movement be-
gan, centered around the dubious
slogan “Don’t knock the Rock.”
Rock 'n roll soon shed its associa-
tion with (and how many of you re-
member ?) the ‘“zoot suit”, pegged
pants with risers and leopard-skin
inner pleats, pink and violet shirts
with “Mr. B.” collars, and (Oh
yeah!) blue suede shoes.
As 1 sit here before my type-
writer, I'm expiring witn the vision
of how we looked in high school.
My folks wouldn't let me buy pegged
pants, but I managed to get them to
compromise on a standard - cut
robins-egg blue pair and some me-
ticulously brushed blue suede shoes.
Was I ever cool.
So the garment industry got its
hunk out of rock 'n roll, and some
young kid named Elvis Presley who
had a bad-sounding guitar and a
hollow, pseudo-negro delivery was
selling a song ‘Heartbreak Hotel”
for a million and more.
Presley sounded like'he recorded
in a wind-tunnel, accompanied by
Froggy the Gremlin and his magic
twanger, but he introduced a di-
mension to rock ’n roll that carried
it into its second decade.
The problem: Sure,
were often inane. But what would
ever replace that beat?
To amplify, look at dancing today.
Every possible movement that could
be made to rock 'n roll has had its
day. But the music’s beat is jn
kids’ blood, so although all they do
now is stand ‘in one spot and flap
will have to be offered something
pretty phenomenal in music before
they give up on rock ’'n roll.
At present, those honest writers
on Tinpan Alley, trying to earn a
nickel and still call themselves com-
posers, have raised the “bossa nova’
up the old flag-pole. Bossa nova has
achieved the distinction of being the
only dance craze sweeping the coun-
try that nobody knows how to do.
Not only that, but nobody cares, be-
cause the music has nothing to do
with the price of eggs. Most people
wouldn't recognize it if they heard
it.
In the meantime, as pointed out
by Time magazine recently, as-
sembly-line standards are being used
to grind out songs for a massive
youth market.
Popular songs have reached the
stage analagous to the last days of
Rome. Sure, it’s bad, but what can
I do about it?
Two strains are helping save the |
fluence of folk-music, still growing
in popularity. Witness: “Walk Right’
In” and “Tomcat” by the Rooftop

Wild geese, a wavering wedge, powerful wings breasting the
