This was announced only a few days ago and reverses an offcial pronouncement of 1954 from the Public Health Service, which took the position that there was evidence of an association between lung cancer and cigarette smoking but left open the question of cause-and effect relationship. Not only has the Public Health Service reversed this 1954 announ cement, but Dr. Leroy E. Burney, the Surgeon-General, has begun a nation-wide campaign to spread information on the subject. He has sent to the public health officers of all states, and to the American Medical Association, copies of his recent announcement and also those of two scientific reports, which show ‘‘extremely high’ association between heavy smoking and lung cancer. The Surgeon-General’s statement was immediately challenged by Dr. Clarence Cook Little, chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board to the Tobacco Industry Research Committee. As expected, Dr. Little claimed that there has been no proof and that the issue is still un settled. However, those who want to use common sense and exercise the minimum amount of prudence would certainly be wise to limit their cigarette smoking to a modest volume. In all of the studies we have read about, it is the excessive cigarette smoker who seems to run the danger of lung cancer. The smoker who smokes less than a pack a day is on much safer ground in our opinion. Therefore, if one smokes cigarettes, all the evidence indicates that moderation is in order. A Serious Opportunity A rise in the price index for the eleventh consecutive month gives especial pertinency—if it were needed—to the exchange of letters Between the heads of the world’s largest labor union and the world’s largest industrial corporation on the subject of checking the inflation ary spiral. Both Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, and Harlow Curtice, president of General Motors, apparently agree that, in Mr. Reuther’s words, “free labor and free manaegment... share joint responsibilities. One of these_is to find a way to raise collective bargaining above the level of a struggle between competing economic pressure groups.” Both appear to agree also that prices are, in Mr. Curtice’s words, “not properly the subject of collective bargaining.” {Mr. Reuther: “Price decisions are in the exclusive hands of manage ment.”) Each has proposed specifically what the other might do to brake the inflational spiral. Mr. Reuther suggested that the “Big Three" of the auto industry "reduce prices on 1958 models to levels averaging at least $100 below the prices for comaprable 1957 models.” Mr. Curtice has called upon the UAW, insofar as General Motors is concerned, to "extend intact our national agreement for a period of two years be yound May 29, 1958 ” And he reminded Mr. Reuther of his previous rather florid preview of UAW demands. Neither has been specific as to what his own organization would be willing to do in return. Each has couched that part of his pro posal in general euphemistic terms. Said Mr. Reuther: “We, for our part, will give full consideration to the effect of such reduction on your corporation’s financial position....’’ Replied Mr. Curtice: “For our part, we will continue to do all in our power to resist inflaitonary pressures..... " Getting down to "brass tacks.”—so far so good. Nobody should expect either, at this stage or later, to spell out a bargain. But if this exchange is not allowed to degenerate into name-calling and imputa tions of ulterior motives it could set in motion anti-inflationary forces on a large scale. Mr. Curtice’s response suffered in comparison with Mr. Reuther’s approach by branding the latter “another publicity maneuver” and by attacking its sincerity. Mr. Reuther only shoved the reconnaissance farther off the track by retorting that “GM has demonstrated a shock aee as preliminary sparring between two bargaining table opponents. If inflation is to be stopped, the price-wage leapfrog will somehow bave to be stopped. And when a very large unit of labor puts forth log disregard for the welfare of the American buying public-” News From Around Nebraska Lexington is making preparations for the State Corn Pick ing Contest which is to be held on a Dawson County farm this fall. The Dawson County Herald showed a picture of the farmer, who raised the corn which is to be picked. The con test is to be held October 8th and will be the first time in the nation that a picker-sheller machine has been used for such competition. * • * Central City has put into use a new school bus which will provide transportation for 31 children from outlying areas. It makes a 39 mile run daily, says the Central City Nonpareil. • * * The farmer who rigged up an electric fence at Ogallala has been charged with murder following the death of a 15 year old boy who came in contact with the fence. The fence charger unit was attached to a power line as a source of cur rent The use of the fence came about after the boys had made several raids on a sweet com field, taking corn without permission and committing vandalism. The boy was in the act of taking more corn when he came into contact with the fence and was killed. The Keith County News at Ogallala is following the details of the case thoroughly. There will be a preliminary hearing this week. • • • South Sioux City is having trouble with youths who roam the streets at night, commit acts of vandalism and beat up any whom they meet. The Dakota County Star of South Sioux revealed last week that the police department has adopted a “get tough” attitude and is picking up all boys who are found on the streets at night. 20 were rounded up in a single even ing, the newspaper stated. The police department holds the boys in jail and calls their parents to come and get them and take them home. Oddly enough, some of the parents become very disturbed because the police ask that their sons be taken home in the early hours of the morning. • • • The Formfit garment manufacturing company at Crete is now employing 170, the Crete News stated last week. A new row of machines has been installed in the factory and the build ing is fijled to capacity. Employment has increased about 40 during the summer, the News stated. • • • At Fair bury there have been several cases of wholesale deaths of English Sparrows and no one has been able to de termine the cause. The Fairbury Journal reported last week that the birds are found by the hundreds in numerous areas. Others are wondering if some disease is depopulating the birds. Schools at Minden do not open until next Monday, Sep tember 9th, announced the Minden Courier last week. Their opening date is the latest noted in Nebraska. • • * The First Christian Church at Aurora held a special Labor Day church service last Sunday and to make it a true Labor Day service the pastor asked the members of the congregation to wear their work clothes to church. Each person was to wear the type of clothing he wore all day long while carrying out his allotted tasks. The sermon subject, fittingly, was "Labor,” announced the News-Register. • • • Better late than never, is probably on the minds of the members of the Bassett, Nebraska Senior class of 1957. The Rock County Leader carried an announcement last week that the High School-annuals had arrived and were ready for dis tribution. • • • Seward merchants held a “Daffy Day” last week and moved merchandise to the sidewalks where it was offered for sale. To emphasize the daffiness of it all, some of the business men appeared in odd costumes. As has been the case in other places, bargain hunters moved in and made it a good business promotion. ■* • • An old fashioned cattle drive, reminiscent of the early days, was staged in Dawes county near Chadron recently when a rancher drove 300 steers from his ranch to a loading area where they could be taken by trucks to market. The drive was accomplished in 12 hours Six cowboys on horseback did the trick. « • » Just across the Missouri River from Washington county is Mondamin and that community lost its depot one day last week when a train hit a dump truck. The truck was tossed against the building, wrecking the building to the extent of $2000. The truck was broken in two but the driver was not seriously injured. • • • Luther College will teach some of its closes by television, the Wahoo Newspaper announced last week. The telecasts will originate at the University of Nebraska and will be broadcast [ from the University’s station KUON. The new type of teaching will be very effective, it is believed and it will be an innovation at Luther. The system works similar to a correspondence course but is said to be much more effective and easier to grasp. • • • Schools at Ogallala are on a new time schedule this year, starting class work at 8:15 and ending the school day at 3:00. The new time table is on trial, it has been emphasized. That same public is too deeply concerned with stopping inflation and getting at its cause to have much patience with what it will likely a proposal in this direction the public expects that it be genuine and be accompanied by a willingness to follow through. It also expects the very large units of industry addressed to at least weigh that pro posal at its face value until and unless it is proved spurious.

Miracle Happening at Mackinac MACKINAC ISLAND, Michi gan August 29-—“The greatest miracle in America is happening at Mackinac Island,” William Gordon, City Editor of “The At lanta Daily World,” who was formerly a Nieman fellow at Har vard, told the MRA Assembly of Nations here today. He was re ferring to the change MRA is bringing to human hearts. Speaking with him were U Hla Maung, Mayor of Rangoon, Bur ma; Daw Than Nwai of the Bur mese Ministry of Information; Mrs Nancy Yu Huang, publisher of "The China Post” in Taiwan; and Guiseppe S. E. Brusasca, Member of Parliament and for mer Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Italy. In the audience of more than 1,000 delegates from 47 nations were 94 representatives of the China Youth Corps of Taiwan, 12 members of parliament from Thailand, and two official repre sentatives of the Prime Minister of the Sudan. “If America changes, the whole world will be compelled to change,” Mr. Gordon said. "We I will have no difficulty with our foreign policy if other nations see us living absolute moral ■ standards. I am struck by the simplicity of MltA’s answer, j Sometimes it seems that the; simpler a thing is. the harder it is to grasp for those who do not want to change. •‘There is something very gen- j nine, very spiritual and very' deep in the four absolute standards of Moral Re-Armament — nonesty, purity, unselfnishness and love. We need to take them to the South. We must change people's j hearts before we can get people to change the laws. It is a great challenge to the South” Gordon concluded. “It is a challenge to begin with ourselves.” MACKINAC ISLAND, Michi gan, August 27. 1BV7—'Two Su danese statesmen, Moslem lead- J ers of commanding stature— dressed in the magnificant robes and white turbans of their tradi- j tion, presented to Dr. Frank Buehman gifts from their people here today. Sayed Ahmed Mohamed Abu Sin, Minister of Social Affairs in the Sudan, and his colleague, { Sayed Mohammed Saleh Shangit ti, former Speaker of the Assem j bly were representing the Prime Minister at the Assembly of Na tions here. They were introduced by Ahmed El Mahdi who convey ed to Dr. Buchman the greetings of his father, El-Eman Abd El Rahman El Mahri, founder of the Government Party of the Sudan The Minister of Social Affairs read a message to the Assembly from his Prime Minister. “MRA is doing the most important work in the world. It Is the fundamen tal answer to the materialism which is threatening all the na tions. If moral standards decay then the nation dies. MRA gives to the nation the moral standards it needs. MRA has come at the most fortunate time to give to the peopple of the world a most inspired ideology.” He then turned to Dr. Buch man, who chaired the session and presented a prayer mat, a coffee um and other gifts. “The Sudan, with both African and Arab races in its midst, is in an important position in Africa," said Shangitti. "It can stretch out its hands to both the north and south of Africa and protect the continent. With MRA in the Sudan we can achieve our objec live of good relations with our neighbors.” El Mahdi said that without the principles of MRA, which he li kened to those of Islam, the whole Moslem world will “fall .prey to either chaos or Commun ism.” In the present world strug gle between America and Com munism, he said, the victory of one will mean the destruction of the other. “MRA steps in and pro duce* the answer for both these peoples and also for people who have lost their values and princi ples,” he concluded.

Missionaries In Borneo Win Praise NEW YORK, Sept. 2—A Negro couple from Florida who are Methodist missionaries in Borneo were today called “pioneers akin to Jackie Robinson in baseball.” Tom Harris, an agronomist and former county farm agent, and his wife, Jennie, a school teach er, are featured in an article on "The Methodists” in this new is sue of Look Magazine. The story is the first in a series on the “Story of Religions in America.* Mr. and Mrs. Harris are ‘out standing among modern Metho dist missionaries,” the Look ar ticle reports, because they typify the highly trained specialists the Methodists are now sending a broad to supplement the work of native pastors. In 1948, the Harrises were sent to Fukien Province, China. They were the first regularly com missioned Negro missionaries to be sent by any Christian church to an East Asian country. “They did so splendidly there," Look notes, “that when Chinese Communists over ran the area, anti-American propanda found no sympathizers among the vil lagers. The Harrises had disap proved Communists charges that American Negroes were illerate and exploited. They spoke fluent Chinese, had materially improved local agriculture and learning, and were friends to Chinese of the lowest station." When they were ordered out of China in 1951, they went to work among the Dyaks in Sara wak, Borneo where their mission is now flourishing.

Belt Repair: To prevent a plas tic belt from breaking at the eye lets, put a strip of adhesive tape on the under side. Use a darn ing needle or awl to puch hoies for the eyelets. This also helps keep the belt from stretching when it gets warm from body heat. Drip Drying Tip: When drying "no iron" dresses and skirts, fold a large bath towel over the clothes hanger so towel hangs between the folds of the garment. Then the front and back of the garment won't cling together. ' " “Sweetens Whole ‘insides! Relieves Constipation — both overnight!” S»r. Mr. Nikaa l»Use. Wmwflk.
