ONE OF THE GREAT FREEDOMS ON WHICH OUR
COUNTRY IS BUILT is freedom of education. But in
credible as it seems, particularly to people of other coun
tries where free education is not so readily available, many
of our young people are not taking full advantage of this
great freedom. Every year thousands of teenagers leave
school before they graduate. They discover too late that
they will experience two to three times more unemploy
ment than the graduate, earn about $50,000 less during
working lite than the graduate, end up doing only routine
work while the choice jobs go to the graduates. Spread the
word among your teenage friends . . . stay in school,
education comes first.

TIME BY TELSTAR ... By
now, many of us have seen
television transmitted by Tel

eatcllite. But there's another,
not so well-known job which
has also been done by Telstar
. . . eynchronization of master
time clocks in England and the
United States. Time signals
were sent simultaneously via
Telstar between Andover,
Maine and Goonhilly Downs,

BUSY FAMILIES NEED extension telephones; in the
bedroom for quiet, relaxed conversation with friends and
security at night... in the den for dad's business talk ...
in the kitchen for conversation while cooking ... in that
teen-ager’s room for boy/girl talk. Extension phones save
Bms and steps. Pretty to look at and inexpensive, too.
Just call our Business Office for details.

1962 Cancer Toll, Death Payments
Set New Record for Policyholders
Cancer, the nation’s second
worst killer, resulted in life in
surance payments of more than
$700,000,000 last year to families
of American policyholders who
died from the disease, according
to the Institute of Life Insurance.
This measure of tragedy has been
increasing steadily for many years
and set another record in 1962.
Cancer now causes almost two
out of every ten deaths among
ordinary life insurance policy
holders. The cancer death rate
has risen about six times faster
than the toll from heart disease
during the past two decades, al
though heart disease continues to
be the Number One Killer among
policyholders as well as the
American population as a whole.
A factor in the rising death rate
has been the medical advances
against other diseases that enable
many people to live to older ages,
at which they become more sus
ceptible to cancer.
Cancer Uptrend
This factor also applies to heart
disease. But since 1955, there has
I been a very slight downward trend
jin the ordinary policy holder
। death rate due to heart disease,
| while the cancer death rate has
continued in a slow uptrend.
Cancer death rates among
Americans have actually been
climbing for several decades, al
though the biggest increases have
been among men, especially those
beyond their early 50’s. In the
past three decades, the cancer
death rate for all men in the pop
ulation has almost doubled, while
the same rate for women has gone
up only about one-fourth. Until
1944, the cancer death rate for wo
men was higher than for men.
Now the rate for men runs 10 per
cent higher than for women.
Cancer is the only major cause
of death which has shown a sub
stantial rise over the past three
decades among men between the
ages of 65 and 85. During this
period and among men in this age
group, the combined death rate
from diseases of the heart, cir
culatory system and kidneys
(“cardiovascular - renal diseas
es") has shown only a minor
change, and all other leading
causes of death have declined
sharply.
The rise in cancer deaths among
older men has been due mainly
to a marked increase in fatal
cancer of the lungs and respira
tory system. Respiratory cancer
now causes one in every five can
cer deaths among men, but less
than one in every 20 cancer
deaths among women. The death
rate among men for cancer of the
respiratory system has risen every
year since 1930, when accurate
figures were first available.
Lower for Women
Much of the increase in cancer
deaths among women over the
past three decades has been at
younger ages. The cancer death
rate for women between 30 and
85 years old was actually lower
in 1959 than in 1930. This was part
ly due to a decline since 1950 in
women’s deaths due to cancer of
the digestive system and reproduc-

tive organs, which usually occur
among older women. But cancer
still leads all other causes of death
among women between the ages
of 25 and 45.
Except for accidents, cancer is
now the most frequent cause of
death among children and young
people from one to 25 years old.
Among school-age children, the
cancer death rate rose by almost
half during the 1950’5. Except for
congenital malformations, every
other significant cause of death
for this age group dropped sharp
ly during the same decade.
Despite the grim statistics,
much has been achieved in
lengthening the lives of cancer
victims. Experts say that if all
cancer patients received early
and adequate treatment, half
would survive at least five years
after diagnosis of the disease.

"BLUE” CHIPS
During the last decade, more
than a thousand lumber com
panies in the South have been
equipped with debarking and
chipping machinery.
Logs are stripped of bark at
the outset of lumber manufac

permits the use of slabs, edg

pulp chips. The latter, in turn,
are supplied to paper com
