A bleach solution
v for green algae
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — Do you know how to remove green
algae from the bottom of a dog’s outside water bucket?
- VERA.
DEAR VERA — Try a strong bleach water solution.
Scrub with a stiff brush and rinse thoroughly. —
POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with the careless way
some clerks cut off fabric lengths. So often I tried to even up
material, and then find I have to leave the end crooked or not
have enough Some do leave an extra few inches, but not
enough to straighten both ends of a piece and so much
material is wasted on each bolt. By being a bit more careful,
money could be saved for both store and customer. Tearing
works on some fabrics but certainly not on knits. I cringed as I
watched a salesperson tear off a piece of fake fur for me. She
told me she always tore such fabric. — JOAN L.
DEAR POLLY — An easy way to keep pie crust from falling
apart, while putting it in the pan. is to roll it out on slightly
floured plastic wrap. Put one hand under the wrap and flip
crust over into pan Arrange in place and then remove wrap.
Fix edges For two layer crusts cut design in top layer before
turning it over. Even my daughter can make pie crust now. —
PAT
DEAR POLLY — I just read in the column about the lady
whose candles ran over and the hot wax got on her shag
carpet I live alone and fell asleep with candles burning and
had the same thing happen. It was a big job as the hot wax was
on a place about eight by ten inches of a new blue shag rug. I
put ice cubes on it to harden the wax, and this helped me to
remove the bigglobs of wax. Only I noticed strands of carpet
were coming out with the wax, so I folded paper towels three
thick, put them over the wax, put an old towel over that. Then
I used my fairly warm, not real hot, iron to go over the towel.
The heat melted the wax that was then absorbed by the paper
towels. I kept replacing the paper toweling as it became soil
ed This was repeated until all was gone. Now no one would
ever guess there had been hot wax on my carpet. I did the
same to my glass topped coffee table since I was afraid scrap
ing would scratch the glass. I have learned a lot from all your
readers so thank you. — REGGIE.

Cancer progress
but no victory
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - What
has happened to the progress
in cancer research? So many
old people are dying with
cancer.
My mother was in her 80s
and suffered through two
years of cancer. It is so pain
ful for everyone concerned.
Has the money for cancer
research been drastically
reduced or what?
DEAR READER -
Progress in treating cancer is
alive and well. The American
Cancer Society (ACS) reports
that one in three persons is
saved from cancer today
while 25 years ago only one of
four patients was saved.
That's progress even if the
battle hasn't been completely
won That is a gain in saving
55,000 lives a year. What’s
more the ACS claims that if
all available tools were used
properly the savings would ac
tually be 111,000 lives a year.
Things have changed in the
cancer picture. In a little
more than 20 years the in
cidence of stomach cancer
has decreased 63 per cent and
cancer of the uterus 37 per
cent. Lung cancer is up 125
per cent. Other cancers on the
increase are cancer of the
colon, prostate, pancreas and
of the bladder in men (but
decreased in women).
Note the big winner of the
increased sweepstakes is lung
cancer. About 90 per cent of
lung cancer occurs in
cigarette smokers and
presumably most of these
could be prevented. How? By
simply not smoking. There is
a 17-fold increased risk of
death from lung cancer in the
group who smoke just 20
cigarettes a day.
The American Cancer
Society gives three reasons
for the improved outlook in
cancer. Early detection,
treatment within four months
of diagnosis and the use of
new diagnostic and treatment
methods.
Dr Lewis Thomas. Presi
dent of Memorial Sloan-
Kettering. one of the nation's
foremost cancer centers
predicted recently that the
mystery of cancer will be
solved in 25 years. He thinks
they all represent one disease
and one basic mechanism con
trols all cancer.
He may be right. Certainly
cancer is cell growth and
replacement, a process
necessary to our normal body
functions, that has gone wild.
When we understand the
mechanisms of controlling the
regeneration of cells and are
able to control these fun
damental life processes, we
will certainly know enough to
control cancer.
I think that is a strong argu
ment for studying aging
processes. When we unlock
the secrets of basic cell
regeneration and how to con
trol this mechanism not only
will we be able to do
something dramatic about
cancer, but we will have made
a giant step toward preven
ting biological aging and
many of the medical ills of our
time.
For information on where
we are on preventing aging
send 50 cents for The Health
Letter. Number 1-7, Perpetual
Youth, Aging. Enclose a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P.O Box
1551, Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019.
There is an enormous
amount of cancer research go
ing on. Perhaps not enough,
but until the problem is solved
any amount won't be enough. I
think the real neglected area
is the basic research
necessary to understand the
life processes that would lead
to preventing physical aging.
We know so much about this
already that an effort similar
to that to land men on the
moon could unlock this riddle
in less than 20 years. It would
make it possible to literally
prevent or reverse aging and
the social implications are
enormous
