__WHO NEEDS GOBLINS?
Trick or Treat . . .
* | TOMORROW NIGHT is Halloween, trick or treat
A ing time. Mariy young people take advantage of
the treats forgetting that once the treat has been ac
cepted those giving the treats should not be “tricked.”
That is part of the game.
Nome is generous to its youth as evidenced by
the shopping bags of goodies many of the children
cart home on Halloween and parties have been ar
ranged at school for all grades.
Keith Hedreen has announced a big treat which
will be the shooting off of elaborate fireworks.
We urge the young people to show their appre
ciation by keeping their fun, just fun and not mali
cious destruction of property.
Remember its not Trick and Treat—Its Trick
Or Treat. _jj

President Proclaims
Nov. 23 Thanksgiving Day
WASHINGTON Of) — President
Kennedy called upon all citizens
Saturday to observe Thanksgiv
ing Day Nov. 23 in a manner “not
only to preserve our blessings,
but also to extend them to the
four comers of the earth.”
“Let us by our example, as well
as by our material aid, assist all
peoples of all nations who are
striving to achieve a better life
in freedom,” Kennedy said in his
formal proclamation.
He urged all citizens to make
this Thanksgiving not merely a
holiday from their labors, but ra
ther a day of contemplation, to be
observed “with reverence and
prayer.”
Just as the country’s early pio
neers faced perils, Kennedy said,
awesome perils again remain to
be faced, but he added:
“Yet we have, as in the past,
ample reason to be thankful for
the abundance of our blessings.
We are grateful for the blessings
of faith and health and strength
and for the imperishable spiritual
gifts of love and hope. We give
thanks, too, for our freedom as a
nation; for the strength of our
arms and the faith of our friends;
for the beliefs and confidence we
share; for our determination to
stand firmly for what we believe
to be right, and to resist mightily
what we believe to be base, and
for the heritage of liberty be
queathed by our ancestors which
we are privileged to preserve for
our children and our children’s
children.”

Fallout Reaction
By John Barbour
Associated Press Science Writer
NEW YORK m — Is the ra
diation-bearing fallout from So
viet nuclear tests powerful enough
to cause cancer.
If it is, it will be evident in
“Mr. Khrushchev’s grandchildren
and all children throughout the
world” in the next 10 years, the
Cancer Society said Friday.
“This prediction is based on
the assumption that the Soviet
Union’s present madness does not
lead meanwhile to the sudden and
complete annihilation of the hu
man race,” added Dr. Thomas
Carlile.
“We do know that in the last
10 to 20 years there has been a
sharp rise in the incidence of
cancer in children and in de
formed births,” Dr. Carlile said
in a statement released to news
men at the close of the society’s
annual meeting.
“The unprecedented fallout oc
casioned by the Soviet Union’s ir
responsible testing of weapons
could very well present a degree
of exposure beyond critical limits
for safety,” he stated.
Carlile is chief of radiology at
Virgina Mason Hospital in Seattle
and past president of the Society
of Nuclear Medicine and of the
Washington State Radiological So
ciety. He succeeds Dr. John W.
Cline of San Francisco as head
of the Cancer Society.
Chief dangers of fallout to those
persons alive now are cancer of
the bone and cancer of the blood
forming and lymph tissue, more
commonly called Leukemia, he ex
plained. For children as yet un
born, there is the danger of mu
tation.
“Mutations usually show them
selves in spontaneous abortions,
stillborn children, mental and
physical cripples of many descrip
tions, and, perhaps once in a mil
lion cases, a super-human,” Car
lile said.
