There are forms of cancer that are more common than they used to be, and other forms have become less common. The incidence of various forms differ around the world. For example, skin and lip cancers are many times more common among white people in the Southern half of the United States than among white people in the Northern part. Breast cancer is more common among women in Israel than among women in Japan. Only educated guesses have been made about the differences in breast cancer distribution; but the incidence of skin cancer is very definitely linked with to the sun and the direct color of the skin. Although Employees feted great deal to learn One hundred and seventy Geneva Works seremployees who reached their vice mark during January and February were honored today at a luncheon at the Riverside Club. Among those who received awards for a quarter of a century of service at the U. S. Steel mill were two women, both secretaries in the blast furnace division. They are Mrs. Louise C. Christensen and Mrs. Helen W. Burns. Carl Forkum, assistant general superintendent of the plant, presided at the The division superintendents luncheon. presented the awards.

While cancer of the liver causes half of all cancer deaths among the Bantu in Africa, in Europe and North America it accounts for less than four percent of cancer deaths. E. Peckenpaugh.

Breast cancer, too, also varies greatly in different parts of the world, with some 65,000 new cases each year, death from this type leads all other cancer deaths among US women. It is high in Australia and Finland and is increasing in Europe, North America and in Israel. However, it is extremely low in Japan where only four percent of the female cancer deaths are from this form of disease. Similarly, breast tumors are more common in older than in younger ones, and in women who do not breast-fee- d their babies. It is also true that people living in Japan have a higher rate of stomach cancer than those living in the USA. Why this is so is not clear. The importance is stressed of a knowledge of cancers seven warning signals and the urgency of prompt medical attention, when a signal is discovered. The 1969 Cancer Crusade slogan puts it very succinctly by proclaiming: Help yourself with a checkup and others with a check. A house to house campaign to raise funds for the 1969 cancer crusade in Utah County will begin the first week in April. Rendell N. Mabey, State Crusade Chairman for the Utah division, American Cancer Society, stated that the Cancer Society camconducts an independent state-wid- e paign to gather money for cancer re search and education, both public and professional and to distribute literature with cancer warning signals to the homes of Utahns. Today, one in three is saved from Cancer. One out of two could be saved if the cancer was detected, diagnosed and treated in time. This is why the American Cancer Society considers the educational part of their crusade so important, Mr. Mabey said. The annual crusade operates in several ways, focusing on business and a residential campaign as the major fund rais- Last fall, for the first time. The Utah ounty Units of the American Cancer Society conducted the Business and Industry portion, only, of its crusade in a program with the United Fund. But the remainder of the campaign, The Residential Crusade, will be carried out in the annual April crusade with the other 38 county units as required by the long established program of the American Cancer Society. Mr. Mabey emphasized that the American Cancer Society is not an agency of the United Fund, and that the campaign last fall in Business and Industry only, was conducted as a cooperative program. He said it is important that the people of Utah County understand that the American Cancer Society will be conducting the second half of its crusade in Utah County during April. The county is divided into three sections for its annual crusade North, South and with more than 1,000 volCentral units unteer workers participating. Mrs. Helen Hawkins, Spanish Fork, is chairman of the C Side-by-Sid- e" Side-by-Si- de South Utah County Unit. Goal for the 1969 crusade is to raise $200,000 statewide. The money is spent for cancer prevention through public education, support of medical research and service to cancer patients. For every $10 collected in Utah marked for research, The National American Cancer Society returns nearly $50 back to the state in the form of grants for research at hospitals and universities. During 1968 there were 11 majorgrants in effect in the state totaling $588,000. In the past several years, research awards amounting to more than $1.3 million have been given to Utah Hospitals and Universi- Thats a Fact Many years ago Mark Twain was editor of a small town newspaper. One day he received a letter from one of his readers saying that he had found a spider in his copy of the paper, and wanted to know if this was an omen of good or bad luck. Mark Twain answered, Findspider in your paper is neither good luck or bad luck. The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant was not advertising so he could go to that store, spin his web across the door and lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterward. ing a JOHNS 465 West 00 South Spanish 1 Phone 798-377- Fork 0 Last Friday the snow course at Rees Valley was measured for the month of March by LaMar Jorgensen of theSCSand Harold Laird of the Forest Service. This is the second time the readings at Rees Flat have been made in the past two months. Indications for February were that the water content was 142 of normal while the reading for March indicated 140 of normal. There was a total depth of 48.8 inches of snow with just over of it being water. This is a good snow pack and should provide plenty of water for farming operations this summer. It is quite noticeable that the snow at lower elevations is remaining much later than usual. This fact is borne out if you have been as far as Ockeys Ranch inSalt Creek Roth lanaDaaanmnnnnnnrmnnnt Recently a group of women were discussing their youngsters and the type of soothers or comforters they get in the habit of depending on. One mother said that her child had become so fond of his own special blanket that he had literally worn it out. She said that it had started out as a good sized crib blanket but that he had carried it around the house so long and caught it on various things, and just plain worn it threadbare. At various times she had cut off ragged ends and spots with holes in until now he was down to a fragment about a foot square. She didnt know what whould happen when the ravages of time reduced the last piece to non existence. ers. ties. WELDING By Ruth Measured snow Another mother said that her son had been equally attached to one particular blanket. She said that while the blanket was in the washing machine, (if she hadnt been able to sneak it in unobserved), the boy would cry until it was out. Then if something did not deter his attention he would go out to the clothesline and check it to see how it was drying. On days when it seemed to take too long he would often go out to the line and hold onto the corner of the blanket until it was dry. One mother said that she spent a sleepnight with her first child because of a blanket, so she made sure that with the other children she had two blankets just alike for them and thus avoided a lot of less difficulties. On the occasion she first encountered trouble, she had gone to visit her mother so that the child and grandmother could get better acquainted. When it got bedtime the child wanted his blanket. Suitcases were searched, the house was searched, the car was searched. The blanket was unmistakably still at home many, many miles away. The mother and daughter decided that they would forget the bedtime routine and get the child thinking of other things until it was good and dark, then wrap another blanket around him and he would fall asleep. The blanket they chose to fool him with was one which they felt most resembled the texture of his own, but he would have no part of it. They tried every quilt and blanket in the house and even borrowed some from a neighbor, but without success. In fact as the time went on the child became incre'1 singly cross. It was not until sheer exhaustion overtook him that anyone was able to sleep. The mother made sure that henceforth that blanket was the same place as the child was whether she herself was there or not. one-thi- rd Canyon. The low elevation snows will be the first to melt and if the weather gets warm suddenly, undoubtendly there will be some high water this year. Snow measurements are made by using small snow machines. Considerable traffic was noticeable from other snow machines using the Wales Canyon area. Considerable use is also evident in Salt Creek Canyon. In talking with Miles and Maxine Anderson, they have made good use of the fabulous snow which we have had in the Salt Creek Drainage. About a week ago I accompanied them up Salt Creek on their snow machines to the Bear Canyon Campground. The snow on top of the toilet at the west side of Bear Canyon had approximately eight to ten feet of snow on top of the roof. Tables were completely covered with only humps in the fluffy snow to indicate that they were there. Just above the Campground on the road going to Salt Creek a snow slide has come down the first canyon and there is approxito thirty feet of snow, mately twenty-fiv- e however this is the small slide. The large slide comes out of next drainage out of the canyon. This snow slide comes down the drainage across the bottom and has started up the other side. This is a tremendous pile of snow and indications are evident by the amount of broken limbs, ground up trees, etc. that there is terrific force in any avalanche situation. Anyone using snow machines should be extremely careful going into very steep areas such as the upper section of Salt Creek Canyon. Avalanches can be triggered by the noise ' T E X AC caused by the motors of snow machines running and a catastrophe could result. Salt Creek is not the only area which is very susceptible to avalanches. Santaquin Canyon is another drainage that is very dangerous during the winter months. Please be extremely careful now that the weather is starting to warm up and be observant of the avalanche threat. It is not uncommon to hear snowmobile owners say that winters are not as long as they used to be and some have said they arent long enough. This fast growing sport is hard to compare with other recreational activities. The roar of the small engine and the ability to go almost anywhere on hard snow is surely a thrill. One gets the feeling similar to that of riding in an airplane when going fairly fast on a snow machine. The scenery is spectacular and beyond compare. The quietness is jilmost deafening when you arrive at a given spot and the machines are turned off. Very seldom even a track of a bird or rabbit or any other animal is evident at higher elevations during the winter months. Wind sculptures huge drifts along ridge tops which adds a great deal to the winter wonderland. One cannot go on a trip such as this without getting the feeling that perhaps the slogan Utah now has of the greatest snow on earth" doesnt cover your impressions. Descending from a high mountain top toward the lower third of the mountain, birds start to appear then you find a deer or elk track now and then in the fresh snow. Right at the edge of the valley floor where the snow has started to melt and expose the ground, shrubs, etc. considerable activity is evident from the tracks in the snow that all nonhibernating animals are out trying to find a meal. Generally, when the snow starts to melt, grass and annual weeds soon follow and the long hard winter is over for another year for wildlife.
