First step,-, a .. survey that will help determine industrial danger spots. GET "DAYS-SOONER" DELIVERY AT L O W C O S T by routing all your eastbound freight via t fg Science and industry are joining forces to take on a powerful antagonist: occupational cancer. The size of the job can be gaged by the fact that cancer now rates as the second biggest killer in this country. This week, the growing hazards of oc cupational cancer were the theme of a paper by cancer authority Dr. W . C. Hueper, of the National Cancer Insti tute. The occasion was a meeting of the American Public Health Assn, in Bos ton. Dr. Hueper's point: The more mod ern industry develops, the more vital is a study of potential industrial danger spots. Starter--Just such a study is the goal of New York State's brand-new Occu pational Cancer Committee, an unoffi cial agency. Members have been work ing on a two-year program. They have a special fund from National Cancer Institute of the U. S. Public Health Service of 532,694- a year to go on. Ohio and New Jersey are getting similar grants. Industry has representatives on the committee--Dr. G. H. Gehrmann, for Manufacturing Chemists Assn.; and Dr. Arthur F. Hna.o. for American Petro- representatives from the U. S. Public. Health Service, from New York State Depts. of Labor and Health, as well as from the medical and scientific centers. Chairman of the new group is Dr. May R. Mayers, chief, Medical Unit, Div. of Industrial Hygiene, N. Y. State Dept, of Health. The committee knows very well that its job will be tough. For one thing, no body really knows how big the problem is. As Dr. John R. Heller, Jr., director of the National Cancer Institute, reported last week to the American Cancer So ciety, there are no figures to show how many people are dying today from en vironmental or industrial cancer. No one knows, even, how many people are exposed to it, or where the precise danger lies. Program--But with this nebulous start, the committee has lined up its im mediate plans: (1) A pilot study at the R.oswell Park Memorial Hospital, Buffalo. This, the first large-scale survey of its kind, will cover 5,000 male cancer patients; 1,000 male non-cancer patients will serve as a control.

Utah clinics, and all physicians in the stat who are interested in cancer. The pilot survey is out to track dowi what chemicals or other occupationa factors may be considered among th possible causes of cancer. Dr. Mayers re ports that industrial chemicals can, n general, be used with perfect safety i adequate control measures are instituted But in order to get the best contrc measures, you first ha\e to know wha chemicals offer the threat. Specially trained personnel will tak detailed occupational histones of a! cancer patients who enter the Roswel Park Memorial Hospital. The intei viewer will try to pm down just wha the patient's occupational exposure was what chemical substances he came f contact with, what othei environnrenta factors were present m the workroom Since cancer will usually develop onl after a great many years of exposureancl even rnanv years after exposure- PORTLAND CEMENT now helps the Iron Horse run sm oother T RAIN PASSENGERS are enjoying new standards of comfort because of portland cement " grout," a mixture of portland cement, sand and water, which, when pumped into soft spots and water pockets under tracks, hardens and stabilizes the roadbed. More than 45 m ajor railroads are now pressure grouting with portland cement to obtain a smoother riding track and to reduce maintenance and operating costs. . This is another example of the thousand ways th a t portland cement and concrete serve and save. Concrete is the favored m aterial for streets and highways because i t is sm ooth-ridmg and lasts longer--at lower cost to taxpayers. Concrete also provides strength, beauty, firesafety and lowannual-cost service for school buildings, hospitals, apartm ents, factories and municipal structures. Concrete is a wise investm ent for homes and farm buildings because it is firesafe, stormproof, ratproof, decay-proof, term iteproof, easy to heat, inexpensive to maintain. Yes, you can depend on concrete for better service and better living-- and be money ahead in the long run too. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 33 W.

With a fleet of 9 Fruehaufs and 3 Mack trucktractors to pull them, the factory at North Canton, Ohio, has literally been moved onto the main line. "Shuttle System"--The Answer! Each truck does triple duty. While some of the nine Trailers are being loaded at the factory, others are unloading at the railhead, while the three trucks and remaining Trailers are in transit. A further saving results from the fact that each Trailer returning from the railhead is loaded with raw materials for the production lines. There's no waste motion in either direction. The savings in initial equipment and operat ing cost are really worthwhile. The first Fruehauf bought in 1929--still in service--demonstrated it so well that more and more units were added as the company grew. Trailers Save Money for Industry! Trailers are doing a splendid job for industryj They link plants, put stockpiles on wheels and handle direct deliveries more economically than by any other method. Surely, it's worth investigating in your case, so why not let a Fruehauf man show you how much more productive yoqr trucks can be by coupling them to Trailers?

They mwht buy the guarantee idea if it were offered in addition to a given country's total allocation of dollars. Reports From Abroad Allied military authorities in Germany have approved several small investments by U. S. publishers to be covered by ECA's guarantee fund. MacFadden Publications International Corp. and Fawcett Publications, Inc.,-were guaran teed conversion of earnings in German currency up to $87,000 for the coming year. This is what the Germans get: 10,000 assorted comic books a month, plus copies of True Confessions, Start ling Detective, True Police Cases, and Movie Story. Moreover, MacFadden in tends to publish a German edition of True Story. Occupation-Generals Clay and Rob ertson approved.
