that used to kill a lot of folks. But nobody dies of cancer
nowadays. It was very dreadful. Doctors couldn't 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 small pox have been.
And more recently polio.
Remember 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.

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 twice before 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 ex-
plain. But it was not worked out before hundreds of
thousands of people had died needlessly.
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 too 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.

Charlie Gosart cheerfullly admits

at Sweet Valley will always draw
more amateurs than seasoned golf-
ers.
It is tho ideal spot to teach the |
kids how to play, and also a good |
spot in which to practice up on
trick shots.

presenting plenty of difficult situat-

a foursome, or show his son how |
Remember the time he had hula-
hoop contest in his parking lot, or
the time he imported an elephant?
He has a golf shop down there,
too. The bare bones of a shop,
with the necessary items on sale,
and hot dogs and hamburgs to sus-
tain the inner man after the outer
man breakg a golf club across his
| knee and swears off forever,
Ask him for a dozen golf balls,
and he inquires, ‘How old is the
kid?” Then he says, “Now lookit,
| you don’t want expensive balls for
a twelve year-old. Save those for
the pros.” |
At the top of the golf course,
| you can see clear across to the
| Jackson Township institution, and
| beyond that to the blue Poconos.
One of Charlie's favorite customers
is the head of the institution dis-
trict, who tees off while keeping
| a weather eye on the prison.
Charlie is going to stage a tourna- |
ment some time soon. Depends on |
fifth or a sixth place.
It's what he calls a Beginners’ |
