Laymen say and Danger To the Editor: Only a lew years ago we were telling ourselves what a shame it was that our boys had to go into battle and come home maimed, or not at all.

Now when people are being slaughtered on the highways we hardly blink an eye We read the accounts of recent serious accidents in The Mercury with a "So attitude and then, without another thought, turn to see how Mickey Mouse is making out in Pigeon Creek. Douglassville, Hickory fcll counting the broken bones and smashed skulls while safety and traffic officials ignore these danger points. Traveling through Ohio this Summer I was particularly impressed with the way that state marked dangerous curves and hills. Not with one sign, but with two or three reflector-type markers that help but make any driver half scared to death over what was coming. This same thing should be done at Pigeon Creek and at the highway divide at Douglassville.

It might cost a couple of hundred dollars, but what a saving in life and property it would make! I honestly believe the safety peopfe in this section are negligent in not doing something about it. Pottstown RD 2 ROGER V. GILBERT What do you think? Cancer is an insidious enemy. Yet a diagnosis of cancer no longer is a death warrant. Expansion of facilities and knowledge available today could cure half of all cancer patients.

Some cases, such as cancer of the skin, are 90 percent curable. This year one quarter of all cancer patients will be saved by surgery, X-ray or radium. Further advances in these three major treatments for cancer are being made through clinical and laboratory research. A continued, concerted effort of science and society can defeat cancer. Facilities are available in Pottstown for quick detection of cancer.

Pottstonians should take advantage of the cancer clinic. Cancer, if caught in time, can be retarded and years added to the life of the patient. Whether you should be told or not is debatable. But science can perform wonders that will prolong your life. You can be sure of that! Back To School I A FEW short days, it will be back to school for thousands of city and county boys and girls.

It will mean the end of the long summer end of all-day swimming and fishing and countless other diversions so dear to the hearts of youngsters. But we wonder if most boys and girls today look with gloom toward the reopening of school as much as they did in bygone years. New vistas of education and achievement have been opened in recent years. Schools offer broader and more varied programs. Most of the youths of today, especially of high school age, seem really to relish the thought of picking up where they left off last June.

Many tots will be entering school for the first time. For them it is a new experience. Then there are those who next June will receive high school diplomas, going on to college, or. perhaps entering the world of business or industry. For all, the most and best of life lies ahead.

And for all boys and girls in school, we wish the ultimate in happiness and success as another year of learning begins. Easier to Be Killed ARENTS, do you have a teen-age son or daughter? Well, if you worried about them crossing the streets 10 years ago w'hen they started to school, they are facing even greater dangers today. Ten years ago 6.8 out of 100.000 of the children in the 5-14 age group were killed as pedestrians, and four out of 100,000 were killed in autos as nonpedestrians. But in 1948, when they were 15-24 years of age, 3.1 out of 100,000 were killed as than half the rate in 1938. But 28.1 out of 100,000 were killed in traffic as times the earlier rate! In 1948 they were operating their own cars, or were riding in cars frequently driven by their friends, and that these cars were not being operated as safely as by older persons.

Be careful this school year. Make It $20,000,000.75 UJE ARE always interested in the publishing activities of the government.

Maybe it would tell him how to get his mammoth plywood flying boat up in the air again. Thus far it has made only one flight, about a mile in duration, at an altitude of seventy-five feet or so.

the first place, if you live in the vicinity of my home, how do you know so much of my affairs? I am usually too busy to have time to find fault with my neighbors. In the second place, you were misinformed about us being warned. We were only told to tone down the sound. We can show movies or play music up until 11 p. m.

Yes, my children were sensitive to noise, too, but I try to stop the neighbors from doing what they liked. Instead of criticizing, you should encourage the boy in his hobby as the children and neighbors all enjoy his movies. be a dog in the manger by trying to stop what someone else enjoys. If you and your family are annoyed by noise, why you try to stop bells from ringing and whistles from blowing? But life is too short, so why not stop bickering and come and enjoy the movies with the rest of the neighbors. Why you sign your name? We know who you are.

Pottstown MRS. BOYER Put Complainer on Farm To the Editor: I must add a line to the letter that A Wife Farmer's Readers Say, Aug. 29), overlooked. Who pays for the cow that dies? Who pays the bills? Also, who takes the loss when a $300 or $400 cow goes bad and you must sell her for $100 or less? Does that look like living in clover? Also, who puts up with the milk spector, who comes twice a yeir and tells us what we must do or stop shipping milk?

To the Editor: Negotiations seem to be going ahead for the borough purchase of the old opera house property.

But no one has given us a good hint as to what will be done with it once the borough owns it. Maybe with election coming up, it good politics to say what will be done. Nevertheless, I think the public should know. I have seen mentioned that the borough hall may be extended onto this property, that it may be used as a public parking lot or that a community center may be built there. Certainly someone knows what it will be used for.

First thing that should be done is to tear down left of the opera house. As it is, just a blot on the landscape. Pottstown T.L.P.

Wondering BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON. Aug. 29 Is Josef Stalin the most masterful but rascally psychologist of diplomacy and undeclared war instead of a "good old Uncle who is, as President Truman once said, a "prisoner of the The approaching tenth anniversary of World War II, which he promoted for ends that are now all too evident, has raised that question in acute form at Washington and other world capitals. The oriental mystery surrounding his policies and tactics in China and Yugoslavia make it far more than an academic question. So does his attitude toward the U.

sponsored Marshall Pact, the North American Alliance and the British economiie crisis. Is he fooling and doublecrossing the western powers again, as he did when he negotiated the war-provoking pact of friendship with Hitler and Ribbentrop exactly ten years ago? Or does he want a long-time peace after he has insured safety from foreign attack by strengthening the border countries lying behind the SPHINXLIKE: Ambassador Kirk tried to get answers to these questions when, at the direct order of President Truman and Secretary Acheson, he confronted Stalin with his violations of wartime and postwar agreements at the Kremlin a few days ago. It was almost the flrst, time that any American spokesman bearded the Russian bear since the outbreak of the So far, Washington has received no definite or satisfactory reply to Ambassador Kirk's complaints and questionnaire. was friendly, but as sphinx- like as ever. For that reason, Mr.

psychological experts are making a current review of the record in the realm of hornswoggling the world for his own interests. It is an enlightening study. PACT: It is too often forgotten by allied statesmen that Der remember Stalin fought an even conflict than the current encounter between western civilization and Communism. But in the 1939 pact with Berlin, the man in the Kremlin agreed to go to a neutral comer while Hitler attacked Poland and precipitated World War II. Stalin, of course, set the stage for such a global battle in the expectation that all the participants would be destroyed He had earlier avoided a British attempt to arrange a Russo- German conflict in which London's Facist and Communist foes would be decimated.

Thus he outsmarted both the Wilhelmstrasse and 10 Downing Street. DUPING: Previously, in his invasion of Finland, he had used his weakest army forces so as to give the world, especially Hitler, the impression that he was in no condition to wage a major war. This false carding led Der Fuehrer to invade Russia, and to seal his downfall. He also deceived allied military experts. The leading strategists of Ensland and the United States, including former Chief of Staff George C.

Marshall, estimated that Hitler could conquer Russia within a few months. Thus, record for duping his enemies was 100 percent to this point. Now, in devising new American policies with respect to China, Yugoslavia and the vast continent of Asia, Secretary men are trying to review and to apply psychological approach to our present problems and difficulties vis-a-vis Moscow. TRICKS: Although State's psychoanalysts differ in their conclusions, one group suspects that Stalin is trying his old tricks on us, although, they hope, without his previous success. The military, however, insist that we are failing for his lures.

It is the Army clique's contention that, whenever Moscow rants and roars against an American policy in the field of diplomacy or national defense, it is because Stalin wants us to pursue that objective. He realizes, according to this theory, that, no matter how the Republicans on Capitol Hill may quarrel with the Administration, they will line up behind the White House, State and National Defense spokesmen for anything which the Communists here and abroad oppose. The Voice of Broadway By DOROTHY KILGALLEN Hollywood How Your Mind? (Dorothy Kilgallen is on vacation. Her guest columnist today is the Academy Award winning screen actress, Ingrid Bergman). STROMBOLI, July 29 Hitchcock has just phoned me from London asking me to send Dorothy Kilgallen a column about out latest work together.

There are so many things that crowd into the frame when I think of There was the beautiful English countryside with the dawn breaking over the road as Joseph Cotten and Michael Wilding and I ar- i to start the work. There was the lace in the dress I wore in the ballroom scene lace that came from the actual dress worn by the Countess Burdett Coutts, the famous London beauty, in the days of Edward VII. Then there was the hat Hitch and Sidney Bernstein gave me keep my ears I went on my visit to Sweden. I remember the fan letter from an elderly English Bergman, you are from another From this distance and in this perspective, my with Alfred Hitchcock shapes up as probably the most important thing to remember about Is Jt my confidence in him? Is it the fact that he always knows exactly what he wants to get on the screen? Ingrid Bergman Is it his long experience in the craftsmanship of film direction? It is all of these and more. SO MUCH HAS been said and written about the method devised by Hitchcock for the photographing of long sequences in a film, without a cut or break, that it would be useless for me to go into the matter here.

There is one contribution I can that is to give you the effect on an actress that a ten minute has. The method in was quite different from the one Hitch used in In this earlier picture, the entire production consisted of ten-minute takes without any breaks in the film other than those required for the ehange of reels in the camera. In there were short takes as well as long depending upon the requirements of the action in the story. To me, one of the moet unusual scenes ever shown on the sereen will be seen in The character I play is named and in a speech that runs nearly ten minutes, she recalls a period of her past. The words provided by James Bridie for this speech were of such an emotional quality, that the speeeh became known around the set For me this scene was a physical strain that led to almost complete exhaustion.

But a lot of people do exhausting work and are happy to do it because the results are gratifying. And that's how it is with me. I have seen and I know the experiment, if you care to call it that, has succeeded. Chili Williams FLOWERS LIVING For DR. and MRS.

practically the same as a movie, Harry Malick, only you stay and see it over YOUR HEALTH By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M. D. THERE are almost as causes of itching of the skin as there are people. We are all familiar with the type of itching due to outside sources, such as the bite of an insect or contact with an irritating substance, but not so many realize that Itching may also be one of the manifestations of disease.

It is, for instance, very common among people suffering from liver disturbances, particularly in those who develop jaundice, the greenish-yellow discoloration of the skin which is so frequently seen in certain liver, disorders. Itching may also occur in liver disease even though no joundice is present. There is a certain group of people who seem to develop an itchy sensation of the skin very readily from a great variety of causes. In them, almost any type of excitement, as well as heat, cold, sunshine, and injury can bring on an attack of itching. Such people are thought to be oversensitive to a substance, called choline, which is released in the skin as a result of any of the causes mentioned above.

Allergy or oversensitivity is a frequent cause of itching of the skin. Sometimes, the reaction takes place in the outer layer of the skin. In other instances, the reaction Is in the walls of the blood vessels of the deeper layers of the skin and may result in the formation of hives. In both types, the substances producing allergic reactions reach the skin through the blood stream and, in either instance, the itching may occur without any visible changes in the skin. Such preparations as benadryl and pyribenzamine, which are known as anti-histamine drugs, are useful in the treatment.

Another cause of itching skin is a disturbance of the circulation. This often happens in the legs when varicose veins are present. Treatment of generalized itching depends, of course, to some extent on the cause. Sometimes the preparations which stimulate the circulations may be helpful. In cases of itching skin without a rash, there is always need for a thorough study to determine the factor which mav be responsible.

Then the treatment which may be most effective in eliminating these causes may be utilized.
