MEDITORIAL: When discuss ing the relationship of smoking and lung cancer, the question of proof comes up frequently. Proof that smoking causes lung cancer is almost impossible to find. For years, however, there has been strong evidence to support this theory and now some new findings linking smoking with cancer have been reported. For five years the lungs of over 400 men who died from any cause were examined. Sections from many parts of the lungs were stud ied by pathologists (medical doc tors trained especially in this type of examination). Their findings were unbiased as they did not know from what patient each spec imen came. Their results showed that not only lung cancer but lung condi tions which lead to cancer depend almost entirely on the number of cigarettes smoked. All the victims of lung cancer were smokers. Even the heavy smokers who didn’t die of lung cancer showed other serious abnormal lung con ditions. The heavier they smoked the more cancer-like changes were found in the lung tissues. And there were one or more small er cancers found in several of the men who died of lung cancer in addition to the one which killed them. Many have asked me why doc tors don’t give up smoking. A recent survey of 5,000 doctors in Massachusetts showed that in the last five years the rate of smokers among them has dropped from 52 per cent to 39 per cent, with half of these using less then a pack a day. I feel that as the young doc tors come up this percentage will become even lower By ROBERT H. HARPER THE CATS EYE A CAT went to London, accord- ing to an old nursery rhyme. And when she returned, she was asked if she had se^n the queen. Her reply Is worthy of note. She said she had not seen the queen but that she had seen a mouse that ran behind the throne. So you will know that this squib is not really about the cat’s eye but about what she was prepared to see. Two ladies drove down into a pleasant valley and one of them, surveying the scene, exclaimed, “Isn’t it beautiful!” Her compan ion, the owner of a large plan tation, directing her gaze to a field of corn beside the road, re- JUST A THOUGHT: It is not so important that we always be “right”—but it can become a serious matter when we cling to our position long after common sense and fact make it clearly evident that we are in the wrong about something.

And it will be surprising to find how much of good there is to find and how many beautiful things there are to see by the man who has beauty in his heart.

Outsta ' is the fact that it is the only city to give two presidents to our nation—John Adams, the second president and John Quincy Adams, the sixth. Another “first,” and probably an “only,” is represented by the fact that Abigail Adams was the only woman ia the history of the United States to have the distinction of being the wife of one president and the mother of another. ii POLITICAL Announcements FOR MAYOR I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Mayor and pledge myself to abide the re sults of the City Democratic Pri mary.

ARMFIELD, JR. In the early 1600’s, tin area around the Neponset River was the central gathering place of the Moswetuset or Massachusetts Tribe of Indians. In 1625, a trading post was established, eventually to become known as Mount Wol laston, after its founder. Captain Wollaston. To this settlement Quincy dates its origin. Mount Wallaston was annexed to Boston, but in 1640 was incorporated as the Town of Braintree, an area 50 miles square, including what is now the City of Quincy and three other communities. The first commercial railway in America opened in 1826, using the principle of gravity and horses as motive power, to haul granite from the Bunker Hill Ledge to the Neponset River for the build ing of Bunker Hill Monument. A Quincy resident,- Francis L, Souther, is said to have been the first casualty of the Civil War, He died of wounds received at Baltimore four days after Presi dent Lincoln issued his first call for volunteers April 15. 1861. Quincy was the birthplace of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and first signer of the Declaration of In dependence. He was first Gover nor of Massachusetts under the oldest Constitution in the United States 1780. Quincy made modern-day his tory through a nationally-recog nized off-street parking develop ment which transformed its business section from a dwindling operation to a busy shopping metropolis.
