Squirrels . . .
Washington — That hallabaloo
about the White House squirrels
has more to it than meets the ear.
As you've read in the papers,
Ike declared war on the little nut
eaters two Weeks ago. The Secret
Service rigged up traps and haul
ed the unlucky victims out into
the Maryland woods to make their
living the hard way.
This was done under the pre
tense that the little stinkers were
scuffing up President Eisenhower's
puttin’ green. Actually, of course,
the real reason was that the Wh ; te
House was alarmed that a certain
snoopin’ squirrel was springing
news leaks from the Executive
Mansion.
♦ * *
The crack-down came right after
this column published the news
that Mrs. Eisenhower’s physical
condition would keep her husband
from seeking re-election. Foolish
ly, this column disclosed the news
source.
Bug-eye, my talking pet, doesn’t
intend to be scared off.
As long as Drew Pearson and
all those other capital snoopers
continue to keep their ‘‘inside
sources” at the White House, Bug
eye's going to continue to be my
four-legman. It's a free country . . .
♦ ♦ ♦
There's been quite a bit of mail
(curiously, mostly from Texas)
charging that Bug-eye is not, real
ly, a talking squirrel. One woman
wrote me that he was “just a fila
ment of your imagination.”
Naturally, it would be hard to
prove since Old Bushy-Tail talks

Wolf Point Chamber
of Commerce Notes
March 22 Meeting
Kenneth S. Perry, district air
port engineer from Helena, spoke
on the possibility of acquiring Fed
eral aid for the development of
the Wolf Point airport. It was point
ed out that current funds are al
ready obligated and that the fu
ture depends upon appropriations
for the coming year and the ability
to meet requirements for eligibility.
Cities of Montana having made ap
plication for such funds and now
being considered are Billings,
Great Falls, Butte and Wolf Point.

Paul Nygaard was appointed
chairman of the committee to paint
the Stampede stands. Volunteer
labor will be sought from city
businessmen.

only to me —and only when every
one else is out of ear-sight. Any
way, I'd be a fool to prove it,
what with the palace guards gun
ning for him . . .
President Eisenhower's popular
ity with the masses sank to a new
low when he started to evict the
nosey little nut-knawers.
No one is saying how many let
ters came in from the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals, but the letters to the editors
of the local papers filled up several
columns of incensed copy.
The fact that some senators got
into the act isn’t surprising. Ore
gon’s Richard Neuberger, most
publicity-wise of them all, got
front page space all over the
country by starting a fund to build
a squirrel-proof fence around the
President's green.
And Sen. Alben Barkley came
through nicely. Quipped the Ken
tuckian: “Maybe the White House
is worried that the squirrels are
digging holes to bury some of the
nuts which have been brought to
Washington recently . .
President Truman came around
to remind somebody that when he
was in office, he appointed a little
boy as “official squirrel feeder of
the White House.”
» * *
You may be hearing more reper
cussions about Ike's squirrels than
you ever heard about Charlie Wil
son's bird dogs.
But, despite all the rumors on
why the White House war got
started, you can take it straight
from this column—the only pur
pose was to catch that dang
blasted, confounded snoopin’ squir
rel!

facilities for the site east of the

A petition for the right to inter
vene in the Frontier Airline re
newal hearing was mailed on
March 24. The hearing is expected
to be in Billings this summer.
Complications have arisen since
other airlines are seeking a per
mit to operate in the part of the
area now served by Frontier.
March 29 Meeting
Coming events* discussed by the
Board of Directors included Fron
tier Day which will be held some
time in May. Details for approval
of the directors will be presented
by Lyman Clayton, Kenny Bar
rett, and Randall Johnson. BE
EB Days will be held during April.
Committee members are Jim Lar
son, Paul Kamp, Riley Ostby, and
Harry Dasinger.

Phil Stennes proposed that the
Chamber sponsor the Horse Racing
Meets. It was requested that he or
ganize a committee to serve in the

present their names to the chain-

plan of action and finance. .

The four bond issues were giv
en full endorsement. A committee
comprised of Riley Ostby, Mike v
Vukelich, Lyman Clayton and Ran
dall Johnson was named to stress
the advantages gained through pas
sage of the measures.
The month of April has been set
aside for the annual drive of the
.American Cancer Society. Not only
will the Cancer Socieiy be seeking
• unds to carry on its important
.vork but every effort will be matte
,o carry the latest information a
juut cancer into every home. What
we learn as a result may some day
>ave our lives.
For most of us cancer is a hard
word to say and a hard supjcct to
onsider, since it strikes nearly
.wo-thirds of all American fami
ies, and we know that even with
ne progress that has been made
.iree out of four people who get
ancer will die from the disease.
.4o stretch of the imagination can
invert cancer into a pleasant sub
act for conversation but it is well
/orth talking about if we can learn
ome facts which will change the
figures in our favor.
Even though there is still a great
deal to learn about cancer the pre
ent record can be greatly improved
iy better application of knowledge
Ready at hand. One of the pri
mary aims of the Cancer Society
s to educate all of us to the fact
..at early diagnosis will save many
ives. At present rates, of every
our people who get cancer, one
will be saved, one 'will die need
essly, and two will die because
heir cancers are not yet cureable,
t is plain that the place to star!
s on deaths that could be prevent
d with present knowledge, though
/e can be sure that at best not
.•very one of them will be caught
n time. Even in cases where no
.’ures are known much can be done
o ease pain and prolong useful
life.
Some of us have a tendency to
hink of cancer as a disease confin
td largely to elderly people but
.his concept is not true. About one
lalf of all the deaths from cancer
n the United States are among
people under 65 years of age. Some
.500 children died of cancer last
year and cancer today is the
ireatest killer of children from 3
o 15 years of age.
It is easy to understand why the
average citizen feels an urge to
bury his head under the sand when
cancer is mentioned. But since it
is this very attitude which re
sults in the greatest loss of life
in the group which could be saved
with present knowledge, the Can
cer Society urges us to face the
facts and to learn its seven simple
rules for detecting cancer early.
These warnings are;
(1) Any sore that does not heal.
(2) A lump or thickening, in the
breast or elsewhere.
(3) Unusual bleeding or dis
charge.
<4)Any change in a wart or mole.
(5) Persistent indigestion or dif
ficulty in swallowing.
(6) Persistent hoarseness or
cough.
(7) Any change in normal bowel
habits.
These signs may not mean can
cer, but any one of them should
always mean a visit to your doctor.
But at best, cancer is still a
mysterious and little understood
malady and it is to decipher some
of its many riddles that the Can
cer Society contributes substanti
ally to research. No single cure
has yet been found but the sum
of knowledge on the subject has
been increasing and many pro
mising leads are being followed.
Fundamental to understanding can
cer is a better understanding of the
processes of life itself, so that the
difference between normal devel
opment and cancerous growth can
be measured and identified, and
it is along these lines that the real
ly fundamental work is being done.
However, additional benefits are
already finding use in better surgi
can procedures making for more
extensive and effective cancer op
erations. Radiation treatment of
cancer is being improved through
engineering developement of more
powerful and more accurate radia
tion sources, using recently de
veloped high energy machines like
the betatron, cyclotron and others.
Incongruous junior partners of the
atomic bomb, the radioactivq iso
topes in some assortment are being
used as an aide in treatment of
some cancers, in locating others
for treatment and as tracers in
studies of pysiological activity.
Several specific types of cancer
seem to respond well to hormone
treatments, the use of the secre
tions of the ductless glands or
chemically similar compounds pro
duced by other methods. These are
a few of the promising paths being
investigated through research,
.nucn of which is being supporieu
by the American Cancer Society.
The Cancer society aoes not at
tempt to pay all medical bills for
inose afflicted, for the numoer is
far too great but it does provide
nelp through its loan closet and
further assistance with the cost of
medications and maintenance un
der special circumstances.
The American Cancer Society
aas set a nationwide goal of 23,-
000,000 dollars for this year to con
tinue its modest but highly im
portant program. When we consid
er the untimely deaths, the pain
and suffering that cancer brings
we have no choice but to join the
attack against it.
