10-lDAHO STATE JOURNAL Monday, March 12, 1962 BUCKFOOT SCENE There's Feeling Oi Spring- So She Says "Words are things, and a small drop of ink, Frilling like dew upon a thought piotluces That which makes thousands, per haps millions, think." --Lord Byron By DAPHNE JEMMETT Journal Correspondent BLACKFOOT--No mailer wha the weather was yesterday, or llu day before that, or what it mighl be tomorrow TODAY feels like. Spring and it smells like Spring and I'm just glad io be alive! April will soon be here, and it's time Io think cf the Cancer Cm sade that will be underway at thn time. As a reminder, Alice De Morduant, educational chairman for the Bingham County Unit the American Cancer Society, tells me that 25 films on cancer are available to schools, civic and scrv ice groups, churches or what have you These are grouped inlo those for women, for mixed groups, schools or professional people, such as doctors, nurses or dentists. All you have to do is contact her and she will acquaint you with the necessary details. IN SPITE OF early Mart roaring, about 30 of our senior cili- zens, including six new members were on hand at the recent Golden Age Club meeting, with Vice President a Shoemaker in charge There were two tables of bridge, two of pinochle, with the others playing bingo.

It was a nice home everyone enjoyed 'There Ought to Be a Law" afternoon and themselves. Flora Donahue, activities chairman, is making anolher bid for Gold Strike stamps. With almost 70 members and a usual good attendance, she said, the club could certainly use the two coffee makers they are saving the stamps for. Does anyone have any they don'l want? By the way, (he next meeting Kill be sponsored by the Delta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. These girls will prepare the refreshments and furnish the entertainment.

Good for them! NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT of the Jaycees -organization, Kenneth Johnson, has asked Al Orton, local Jaycee president, to be the official booster for Ihe coming World's Fair in Seattle, and has sent him a collection of 50 slides with which Io illustrate his booster program. Al isn't certain yet whether or not he can attend. However, he has talked himself into the idea that Seattle is the place he'd sooner be during the period between April 21 and Oct. 21. And he is ready, willing and ab'e to in as a speaker at any service, civic, church or even individual gather' ing.

Al isn't a bad speaker, either. You'll enjoy him. MORE EDUCATORS than you could shake a stick at were present at the Fifth and Sixth Dist rict Teachers Association banquet Wednesday night, when they gath ered to honor Mrs. Hazel lilanch aid, president elect of the Nationa Education Association.

Since the advanced session is limited to 23, the coordinator said that the academy received many more applications than it was able to honor this year. Panama to Ask U.S. For More Canal Pay PANAMA (AP)- Within a few weeks the United States will face sticky task of renegotiating treaty governing (he Panama Canal. Panamanian negotiators, led by President Roberto F. Chiuri, are Nearly 2 of Could Be Cured of Cancer By JOHN BAnUOUR Associuled Press Science Writer PHOENIX, Ariz.

(AP)-Nearly two out of every three persons who get cancer coujd be saved today--if everything science wows were used to save them, scientists report. As it is, only one in three is saved, says Dr. John R. Heller, who heads the Sloan-Kettering dancer Center in New York City. He told the American Cancer Society's science writers seminar: "Please do not think it is contradictory to insist that two of every three cancer patients should be cured today, but to admit that they won't be, because of many human factors." One factor is medical manpow- ei needed to examine well people, so cancer could be detected in its beginning stage.

Another factor is the monumental job of getting public cooperation for such a program, he said. A third obstacle, he added is the problem of getting the patient to the bsst treatment--or getting the treatment of the patient. It is most important to detect every case of cancer a the earliest possible moment--and then to treat it with the best of skill and promptness. By checking cure rates--that is, the number of people who survive at least five years after treatment without a recurrence of Heller estimates what poten- lial cure rates would be. Here are some he cited; Stomach cancer: one New York clinic, handling both early and advanced cases, has a cure rate of per cenl.

With earlier detection, some 35 per cent of the patients could be cured, and this may be a conservative estimate. Lung cancer: National Cancer Institute figures show one lung cancer patient out of four survives five years. Dr. Heller says it could be 35 per cent or one in three. Breast cancer: the survival rate is increasing every year and some clinics report sinvivor rates up to 85 per cent.

Dr. Heller estimates the potential for the nation is to save four out of every five wwnen stricken, on the basis of present knowledge. expected to press for more revenue and Panamanian sovereignty over the canal which cuts through Panama. The original treaty signed in 1803 gave the United States perpetual rights to the canal, a 50- mile stretch from Colon- to Panama City, and a live-mile zone on either side. Panama contends that the perpetual rights clause is unique in treaties and unfair.

"The canal is an economic and natural resource for us," said Fabian press secretary to Chiari. "It is the only thing with which we have to bargain." Panamanians want their flag to fly over the zone, or at least to be flown jointly with the U.S. flag. They believe that ships transiting the canal should fly the Panamanian flag. The United States pays Panama a flat yearly sum.

The original annuity of $250,000 in effect for many years has risen progressively. Last year il was $1.9 million, which Panamanian officials say is too small. In the treaty negotiations, Panama will ask for a percentage of the gross revenues. The exact figure has not been announced. Velarde says the United States can increase its tonnage fee on ships passing through ihe canal to offset the cost.

Johnson Steps Up Campaign Activity WASHINGTON (AP)-At President Kennedy's suggestion, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson is scheduling political campaigning likely to take him into a dozen key states before the November election. The vice president is understood io have agreed to be the rincipal speaker at four party und-raising rallies to be chosen national chairman John M. Bailey. Johnson already has filled his role Minnesota.

As matters stand, Johnson runs second only to Kennedy in cam- aign speaking invitations.

Physical examinations will bs required for persons under 65 years of ag, about every JO years, he said. Those over 65 will have to lake a test each time they apply for a license. Hopper, who stopped here to discuss the new testing program with local officials, said the eye machines will be used on a part-time basis throughout the state because Idaho cannot afford to buy the 1 equipment for all 44 counties.

Sen. Church Asks Change in U.S. Timber Policies WASHINGTON (AP)--Sen Frank Church, D-Idaho, says he has urged Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman to lake early action in revising timber policies of the Forest Service. The Idaho senator sayd he asked Freeman that "top priority be given a review of Ihe allowable cut and other policies of the forest service." "Certainly special a i should be given those working circles located in areas where their is today a substantial remand for I national forest timber and heavy i capacity," Church said. "There is a good reason to believe that Ihe two major factors which have compounded some 01 Ihe bidding that has characterized forest service limber sales over the last decade are failures to realistically set and describe the allowable cut, and Ihe erratic performance on planned timber sale offerings." Church said he was joined in his request by senators from other western lumber producing stales.

Livestock Hall of Fame Adds Five Members TWIN FALLS (AP)-The livestock industry's Southern Idaho Hall of fame has five new members. The honor, awarded for distinguished service 'o the industry, went to T. C. Bacon, Twin Falls; James Laidlaw (Deceased,) Muldoon; 0. S.

Roberts received the plaque honoring her father, Mr. Laidlaw. New Jersey and is expected to accept Deaths vania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and some Western states including California. The vice president already is 1 billed as the speaker for a Demo- cratic dinner in Chicago being arranged by Mayor Richard Daley. Johnson will make a nonpolitical appearance as speaker for the annual Alfred Ti, Smith dinner in New York this fall.

The President's decision to use his elected standby for some intensive campaigning evidently will give Johnson the cha'nce to get better acquainted with polt- ticinrvs in states where he would need support if he should bid for Ihe party's top nomination in 1968. The vice president is taking advantage of this opportunity to minimize the tag of Texas sectionalism given him by some in the past and to present himself as a man of broad national and international viewpoints. In this role he is avoiding personalities licans. He The present canal cannot ac- the largest ships.

The United States has made exhaustive studies of a sea-level canal possibly to be built across Nicaragua. For Panama, which has geared its economy to a U.S.-operated canal, a sea-level canal could prove financially disastrous. The Panama Canal a U.S. government corporation which operates the canal and all of its related activities from housing to commissaries, employes 14,500 persons, 11,000 of them Panamanians. Within the entire Canal one are 41,000 persons, including personnel at several Army installations.

They provide yearly about $60 million in business. There is no feeling by Panama to take over canal operation.
