O Skin cancer is not contagious in the ordinary sense. In some industries, skin cancer develops in workers using coal-ta- r derivatives. It may also develop in old scars due to burns, or in chronic ulcers, or sinus tracts in the skin. It is more common in males than in females, and in those ovt 40 years of age. Skin cancer is, ordinarily, treated by surgical removal involving the immediate area and the lymph nodes. X ray and radium treatment are also used. Certain' kinds of skin cancer may be transferred to the lymph nodes and later to other tissues. FOR CHRIS SCHENKEL, Thank try to lend a helping word to the fund drives of many different diseases about which I have read. Over the years I have received many letters from viewers suffering from a variety of illnesses, of which hemophilia is just one.

O FOR RANDOLPH THROWER, FOR GEN. LEWIS B. HERSHEY, viJ O Nerve agents are retained as part of our national weapons stockpile in order to deter our potential enemies, whose stocks far exceed our own, from using these agents against us. (None of these agents which are liquids, not gases has been manufactured by the United States since 1968.) On November 25, 1969, President Nixon, reaffirming the policy of every President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, renounced the first use of lethal chemical agents and extended this policy to incapacitating chemicals. On August 17, 1970, the President submitted to the Senate for its advice and consent for ratification the Geneva Protocol of 1925, which prohibits the first use in war of these weapons. and could save two billion dollars annually on defense contracts.

It is impossible to determine a contractor's actual cost and profits without spending months on his books.
