CANCER ALSO AFFECTS
YOUTH
Both directly and indirectly
Youth has a stake in cancer
prevention.
Cancer kills more than accidents,
more than war, more than all
infectious diseases together.
Cancer kills more mothers of
school children than any other
disease and almost as many
fathers.
Cancer is not limited to the mid
dle-aged and elderly: It causes
the death of 2^4 times as
many young people as polio.
100 children under fifteen die
each year from cancer.
Many more young people are
suffering from it.
Many need not die—if they
have your help!

EARLY CANCER ARE IM
PERATIVE.

that early cancern can be cured.

mouth or lips.
A painless lump or thickening
in breast, lip or tongue.
Bleeding or discharge from
any body opening or nipple.
Change in color or size of
wart, mole or birthmark.
Persistent hoarseness, cough,
or difficulty in swallowing.

in engineering. A screening pro
gram is contemplated which will
help to guide those who are better
fitted to become successful engi
neers. Objectives to be striven for
include smaller classes, improved
library facilities, and substantially
improved instruction. Curricula
need modernizing in the light of
recent developments, explained
Dean Barlow. Such subjects as
electronics, radar, jet and rocket
propulsion, atomic fission, gas tur
bines, new developments on geo
physics, and other subjects were
hardly known a few years ago.
Dean Barlow expects more em
phasis to be placed on English and
the ability to think and write clear
ly and concisely.'* He anticipates a
broadening of curricula in the di
rection of the humanities, perhaps
principally through the expansion
of post-graduate extension work.
The School of Engineering also
appreciates that adequate progress
can be made only with superior
personnel.
Dean Marsteller discussed some
of the problems and activities in
Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.
He pointed out importance of the
field in the United States and re
ferred to the close relationship be
tween the veterinarians in the
Russian Army and the outstanding
success of the Russian military
campaign. He referred to the close
relationship between good roads,
flood control and improved feed
resources for livestock, and for
people. -
An optimistic note was struck by
Dean Marsteller in reference to
the future in Veterinary Medicine,
which he said is bright. Attention
to the diseases of farm and ranch
animals is of the utmost import
ance, Dean Marstellar explained.
There often is a relationship be
tween diseases in animals and
man since some animal diseases
can be transmitted to human be
ings, and some human ailments to
animals. The Dean listed a num
ber of serious animal diseases
which already have been controlled
and largely eliminated; among
them, glanders, tick fever, and
tuberculosis in cattle. A number of
others are being given effective
attention by verterinarians.
Dean Marsteller pointed out that
the main objective of the work of
the School of Veterinary Medicine
and Surgery is to give education
and inspiration to each student.
These values will last when others
disappear, the Dean said. The Dean
anticipates additional research
work in the different divisions of
the School of Veterinary Medicine.
Like Dean Barlow, he also men
tioned the need for buildings, class
rooms, and other facilities.

Man, Your Manners
By I. Sherwood
Unfortunately, the way you eat,
is not a private affair and since
you are often judged by the way
you eat, you should know how to
do it correctly.
It is just as important to know
what to do with your silver when
it is not in use as to know what to
do when you are using it.
Here are some of the things you
should not do:
No matter where you are never
wipe any piece of silver on table
cloth or napkin—trust the places
where you eat or don’t go there.
Don’t rest a knife, fork or spoon
on the edge of a plate so that any
part of it touches the tablecloth.
Don’t cut more than one bite of
meat at a time. Eat it either by
leaving the fork in the left hand,
tines down, or changing it to the
right, tines up, after the knife has
been placed in the plate. Hold the
fork prongs up when eating vege
tables. Don’t use your knife any
more than necessary for cutting;
use your fork for that purpose
Ashton’s Treatise on
Nicaragua Is In “The
Very Best of Taste”
Nicaragua is a nation where the
world’s most delicious coffee, exo
tic fruits, rich hardwoods, and
edible spice-roots await the hungry
or thirsty traveller, according to a
treatise by Dr. John Ashton of the
department of Rural Sociology at
Texas A. & M. College.
For an adventure in gastronomic
delicacies, read “On The Plant Re
sources and Flora of Nicaragua”
by Dr. John Ashton printed in
“Plants and Plant Science in Latin
America” by the Chronica Botanica
Company, Waltham, Massachusetts.
In his discussion Dr. Ashton lit
erally makes you hunger for delect
able foods, thirst for the beautiful
scenes of Nicaragua, and revel in
the exquisite climate of the land
where he spent a year making per
sonal observations, studies and re
search as U. S. Exchange Professor
in Nicaragua, under the auspices
of the Convention for the Promotion
of Inter-American Cultural Rela
tions, division of the U. S. State
Department, 1940-41.
