Truth At Last I WAS not so long ago that a woman was to be anything but a lady if she smoked a cigaret in public, or even in private. A drag dangling from her lips presented a disgusting, uncouth and low sight to those who regarded womanhood as representing all that is best in morals, demeanor, manners and conduct.

This attitude toward the fair sex began to change about 20 years ago. One cigaret manufacturer after another saw an opportunity for vastly increased sales if they could induce women of all ages to become addicts. They presented alluring advertisements showing movie stars or attractive models holding a cigaret in dainty fingers and telling the women such nonsense as: "Reach for a Ducky instead of a sweet." "Smoke a Bold for a treat instead of a treatment." "Gamels are easy on the B-zone." "Fillup Norris cigarets have less nicotine than any other brands, say eminent medical specialists." "Tall Ball cigarets filter out tobacco tars so you can enjoy them more." Et cetera. That the manufacturers succeeded in zooming their sales and causing millions of girls and women to become "slaves to the weed" is proved by annual reports of the industry and what is seen all around us. They have succeeded to such an extent that a girl.or woman who does not smoke is chided by those of her sex who do.

Possibly because misery loves company. Now at long last the harmful results of the advertising campaigns have come to light. At the national-convention; of the Ameri-, can Medical association in San Francisco last week, the American Cancer Society reported its investigating committee of scientists, after studying more than 187,000 cases, discovered cigaret smokers were definitely more prone to cancer of the lungs and coronary heart disease than were non-ciga- ret smokers. Both of these killing diseases have increased vastly in recent years. In fact, cancer of the lung was regarded as a rarity; now it is quite common.

The inference between these facts and the report of the American Cancer Society is obvious. The scientists who made the report had been cigaret smokers. They abandoned the habit after making their findings. Their decision be adopted with profit by the unwitting dupes of the cigaret manufacturers. It may be difficult to break the habit, but the difficulty will be as nothing compared to the misery and suffering that the scientists say lurk in continued use of the paper-enshrouded coffin-nail, as the late crusader, Lucy Page Gaston, described them.

Action Needed need for parking facilities in the Englewood shopping area was so obvious that the City Council and all other public agencies involved quickly approved plans for providing them. Late last Fall, it was announced officially that work on the project would start soon after the first of the year and that the six lots would be ready by April 1. But that date turned out to be April Fool's Day in more ways than one. Demolition of dilapidated shanties and other buildings occupying the sites had not even begun. However, a month later, on April 27, wreckers started removing 3ome of the buildings in S.

Emerald and S. Union aves. between W. 64th and W. 65th sts.

They said they would clear 48 buildings in 100 working days. It also was announced officially that all six parking lots would be opened to the public on Labor Day. But again came the great stall. After 26 buildings had been removed in 52 working days, the wreckers pulled off their crews to work elsewhere. Since then not one building has been removed.

Fifty-seven more buildings need to be cleared. At the rate of progress, or lack of it, the six parking lots will not be ready until after Christmas. Even that may be too optimistic, in view of the record. There is no legitimate excuse for the continuing delay. The six parking lots are urgently needed by customers who have made the Englewood district the second largest shopping center in Chicago.

The merchants entitled to have the proposed facilities completed at once because they cannot hope to retain their custo- continue to pay taxes--if their cannot find space to park their cars. The taxpayers are entitled to have the work resumed and rushed because public funds are being used to pay interest on bonds sold to provide the $1,500,000 cost of building the lots. Owners of property adjacent to the six lots also are entitled to have their borhoods restored instead of being confronted, as now, with a shambles of partly removed buildings, windows and doors broken in others to be cleared, and others presenting a grave fire hazard. Only five more buildings remain to be cleared to make possible completion of the first lot, between W. 64th and W.

65th sts. and from S. Emerald to S. Union aves. It would seem to be only common sense that orders be issued to get this one done NOW.

Building of the five additional lots should follow in quick order. Or is it prone to ask at this point who is holding back the job and why? Forum What are your thoughts and ideas about youi neighborhood, affairs and the times? Letters should be not more than one typewritten page long and should be signed by the tender THE PUZZLE OF THE TRAINS EDITOR: I was somewhat intrigued with your Around The Town's puzzler relating to the two trains, one running from Cleveland to Chicago and the other from Chicago to. Cleveland and the question: "Which train is nearer Chicago when the two trains meet?" In your answer you state "neither. When the trains meet, they are the same distance from Chicago." I think that if you will take some baby blocks or dominoes and fix up two imaginary trains, start one from the East and the other from the West that when they meet, the train running from West to East will be entirely West of the train passing from East to West. ROY J.

CHOWEN PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAINS EDITOR: We have just had a two-week hot spell of or more. As yet, the city has neglected to set up the drinking fountains at 63rd and Halsted northwest corner, and under the elevated station on Halsted near 63rd st. Surveys show that approximately 30,000 sons pass through this shopping district on a business day. So, this neglect is inconveniencing at least that many persons, not to mention greater numbers who, no doubt, are being inconvenienced at numerous drinking fountains throughout the city. In correcting this "undesirable situation, the city should advise whether and when it will take action at all fountains throughout the city, and what action will be taken every year in order to make reminders like this letter unnecessary.

ALBERT BOFMAN JUNE" The sob sisters, the keyhole peepers and the rest of their ilk, who call themselves columnists, were all having a field-day, baldly stating that, "according to a usually reliable source," the Fred MacMurray-June Haver forthcoming nuptials were to have the blessing of the Roman Catholic church. This unfounded statement, completely without a shred of truth, caused switchboards in "chanceries all over the country to light up like Christmas trees with indignant callers demanding to know, "How come?" And the Lord only knows how many cocktailing groups made this latest "exclusive" a conversational hots d'oeuvres and trotted out the old bromides and calumnies that "all you need to get 5 your marriage-' fixed up in church is to Save pull and lots of money." Then warming to the subject, someone else would tell about the case he knew of without pull or money BUT these poor wretches were forced to be married by a justice of the peace while the rich and politically powerful Catholics (like June Haver) were high and happy, riding the annulment merry-go-round and even catching a few gold rings. One would think that the columnist who scored a "beat" with -their story that Fred MacMurray and June Haver were to be married in the Catholic church might be a little embarrassed at the way it all turned out. But they won't be. They'll go on printing anything that smacks of sensationalism, even though they know it isn't true, and their moronic readers will go on no'dding their heads and saying, "I told you so." We are sorry for June Haver, who is giving up her faith to marry Fred MacMurray.

According to the newspapers, friends say she is sorry, too, but that she didn't intend to fall in couldn't help it." She couldn't help it either when she became engaged to Dr. John 1 Duzik, after her divorce from Zito, but, fortunately for Dr. Duzik's soul, he died before the marriage could be attempted. In other words, she isn't to blame--she couldn't fight it any longer--it was too big for both of them. Idiotic as these reasons are, there are literally thousands of people who consider them valid.

There are thousands whose thinking is conditioned by keyhole peepers whose only reason for existence is to spread scandal. Since the average American likes to have his thinking done for him by someone else, newspapers and particularly columnists, have a grave obligation to check their facts and sources and not sacrifice integrity for a scoop. As a result of the announcement of June Haver to renounce her faith, a year out of a convent, how many people will say, "Who does the Catholic church think she is, setting up rules and regulations that interfere with one's personal hinting that this kind of stuff belongs i to the dark ages. Then the oldest chestnut of i them all is pulled out, dusted off and set up as a sop to understands and I'll take my chances with Him." FROM EXTENSION MAGAZINE I FOUR-YEAR CITY COLLEGE I EDITOR: Erection of a new home for Wilson Junior I college, as has been promised, is long over-due. Previous suggestions concerning Wilson Junior college have concerned eslablishing the school as a four-year institution.

Whether this plan is still under consideration or whether it has been lost in the bureaucratic fumblings of the City council, I don't know. I do believe, however, the plan would meet with immediate success if the city colleges were to elevate their admission requirements. At present, under the pressure of "democratic" influences, the colleges are forced to admit anv student who sat through high school for four years, regardless of his scholastic progress. As a matter of statistics, more than one third of the freshman students at Wilson fail to return the following semester because they are unable to meet the academic level. It should not be too difficult to "spot" these students before spending thousands of dollars helping to prove they cannot benefit from a col- I education.

The money saved in this manner could easily be channeled into use for creating I the much-discussed four-year colleges. MRS. ELBERT FRIEDMAN I YOU'RE VERY WELCOME EDITOR: Since so many of the members of the Fern- wood Evening Woman's club have commented on the wonderful publicity our club has received your paper, I want to tell you how much we do appreciate the mannei in which you have printed our news releases.

DONALD JONES OUR SUNDAY SERMONETTE By the REV. WILSON W. WHITE. of Englewood Evangelical United Brethren ehureh. W.

66th and S. Peorla Ste. In a world where there are so many opportunities to be proud and to exercise pride, humility is still the key to success. Jesus Christ spoke, words to this effect when He contrasted the prayer life of the Pharisee and the Publican, by saying: "Everyone that exalteth himself shall he abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." Directed ambition a great deal of vision, wisdom, discernment and discipline. We are of the total energies of our life.

David's prayer as recorded In Psalm 86 to direct our ambitions, or total energies of life. The basis of bis choice waa his understanding of God. To David. God was Lord of Lords. God was merciful, forgiving, compassionate, attentive to his needs, gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.

David had faith that some day all nations would "come and worship" the Lord. David used every bit of Divine Revelation available. We need to do the same for we have the full revelation of God through Jesus Christ. This is a great body of Truth for us to follow. We need a "single eye" to this Truth.

Directed ambition requires three things: 1. Teachableness. "Teach me Thy Way. Lord." Jesus said that they who "hunger and thirst after Righteousness shall be filled." We have a tremendous capacity for Divine Truth. We dare not dissipate that capacity.

Z. A supreme choice. "I will walk in Thy Truth." "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and Ills Righteousness," Matthew 6:33. Little do we realize what such a choice means; but it is essential. Dwight L.

Moody's "directed ambition" to be the kind of a man God wanted him to be Is just one great example. This supreme choice is being joyfully tested by many people. 3. A prayer: "Unite my heart to fear Thy Name." One writer puts it this way: "Fix all my affections to honour Thy Perfections." Such "directed ambition" will keep us busy for the Lord, and there is no greater business. KEY.

Good Heading Front Public- A biography is an account of the course of existence of any individual, and a look into the lives of famous people, whether living or dead, is always fascinating reading. The public library has many such biographies on its shelves ready for lending to anyone who is interested in what has made others famous. Literary award winner Bruce Catton has just finished writing U. S.

Grant and the American Military Tradition, a story of a man who was well-fitted by character and background for his role as a military leader. As a civilian, however, the qualities that made him a great soldier proved a liability, and the book presents a lively and accurate) picture of him in relation to the history of his times. The eminent biographer Harold Lamb, and his tireless enthusiasm for research, gives us Charlemagne, the life of Charles the Great, an authentic portrait of the great emperor against a convincing background of 8th century Europe. Willard Wallace's Traitorous Hero, is a scholarly treatment of Benedict Arnold, one of the boldest figures in American history, discussing in particular his military career and the psychological reasons for his act of treason. For light reading, there is Robert Keith Leavitt's Chip on Grandma's Shoulder, the hilarious reminiscences of days in an old Massachusetts town at the turn of the century, peppered with the personality of an unconventional grandma who battled everything from Demon Rum to the sewing machine.

And then there is Alice Desmond's' Rarnum Presents: General Tom Thumb. This is delightful and intimate biography of Charles Sherwood Stratton. born in Bridgeport, Conn, on January 4, Tft38, and who made his fortune as Tom Thumb, the most famous i dwarf in the world. The book is profusely illustrated with pictures of Tom and his family. These books may be obtained at the following Southtown libraries: Auburn Park, 749 W.

The disease, prevalent in and around Boston in 1951, was found to be both infectious and contagious, according to three physicians who made a study of 18 cases and reported 2,450 cases seen by other physicians. Although the condition had some of the features of German measles, careful study showed that is probably an entirely new type of infection, the report stated. The 18 patients studied by the physicians ranged in age from four months to 26 years.

The majority of patients had a lever of about 102F which lasted one to two days and was accompanied by a sore throat, a generalized aching of muscles, and chills. All the children, but only one of the three adults afflicted, exhibited varying degrees of skin eruption. The rash usually was most evident over the face and upper chest, appearing in most cases after onset of the other symptoms and within one or two days after the fever had subsided. Some of the patients suffered mucous membrane lesions and enlargement of their neck glands. None, however, appeared severely ill.

Multiple cases appeared in two families. A questionnaire regarding the new disease was sent to physicians in Massachusetts, the authors said. The 123 physicians who replied stated they had seen about 2,450 such cases between May and September, 1951. According to the replies, epidemic eruptive disease af- i'ected primarily children 10 years of age or younger, and was characterized by fever and a skin rash that appeared either during or after fever had subsided. Fever and the rash lasted at least 24 hours in most cases, and in many cases lesions of the throat were apparent.

Multiple cases were not uncommon in a single family. "It may be concluded that the disease we have encountered in most of the patients, although it may share some features of tain common exanthems, probably is an infection sui generis (in a class by itself)." The report was prepared by t)r. Franklin A. Neva, Pittsburgh, and Drs. Roy F.
