THEY SMOKE—MORE LIVE LONGER
Workers in cigarette factories are, no doubt, much
like other people. But, according to extensive studies of
all the full-time employees in the nine plants of the
American Tobacco Company, there are a couple of
differences:
They smoke a lot more cigarettes than the rest
of us—almost twice the rate of the general U.S. popu
lation-—which could well be due to the time-honored
industry custom of providing free smokes.
They live longer than the average American.
They show average, or lower than average, death
rates for cancer or lung cancer, for cardiovascular and
coronary disease.
These are the highlights of a report by H. B.
Haag, M.D., Professor of Pharmacology, Medical Col
lege of Virginia, and H.R. Hanmer, research director
of the tobaco company, based on independent scientific
studies involving more than 115,000 person-years over
a period of ten years and three months.
We don’t suppose this means you ought to smoke
more cigarettes—any more than it indicates that you
should get a job in a cigarette factory. But it does sug
gest quite dramatically that .the reasons for the in
creasing incidence of lung cancer have not yet been
pinned down.
Churchill Celebrates 83rd Birthday
WESTERSHAM, England,
Sir Winston # Churchill turned 83
Saturday. He sipped champagne
and relived his stirring years as
Britain’s wartime leader.
With him at his Chartwell home
was Field Marshal Lord Mont
gomery, one of Britain’s most cel
ebrated commanders of World
War II. Teetotaller Montgomery
liad tea.
As they chatted, telegraph mes
sengers and mail trucks drew up
to the door of the country home
and deposited birthday greetings
from all oVer the world. Nobody
knew how many there were. A
spokesman said it was a “fantas
tic minjiber.”
That night Churchill went to a
family dinner party in his honor.
There was a 15-pound iced birth
»
day cake with one candle.
An inscription on the cake read:
“We pass through winter and
hope for spring, and our ambi
tions are ever new. Of ambitious
hbpes we may yet sing, while
England still has men like you.”
It was composed by the cake
maker’s schoolboy son.
Churchill’s home was fitted with
a powerful television aerial so
Sir Winston, with Lord Montgom
ery beside him, could view a tele
vision story of Sir Winston’s -car
eer. It was titled “Man of the
Century.”
Churchill these days gets about
with the hesitation of old age and
he had asked that he be able to
see the program in the comfort of
his Chartwell home.
