The Daring Cyclist
Taken from "Gospel Light"
In a carnival thrill show at
Lincoln people watched breath
lessly as the daring cyclist raced
through sheets of flame, and
came through it unscathed and
smiling.
That is why little Donald
Payne, aged 11, decided to try
this daredevil stunt himself. He
poured gasoline from a bucket on
the ground, but when he lit it,
his clothing caught fire. As a
result, Donald was fatally burned
and died in the hospital a' short
time later.
How often has some dear boy
been killed or injured because
he followed, or tried to follow
the example of someone else.
Donald’s dreadful experience is
a little picture of what is going
to happen to those who claim
to be following Christ as their
example. For they do not be
lieve He is the eternal Son of
God. So, of course, they do not
trust His great sacrifice at Cal
vary as the only remedy for sin.
To them, he is a good man ahcL
nothing more, and they claim to
be following His example. Well,
they need not be surprised when
they find themselves in the flames
of hell, in “the fire that shall
never be quenched” (Mark 9:
43-45). For Jesus Himself said:
“If ye believe not that I am He,
ye shall dies in your sins.” (John
8:24).
“That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
believe in thine heart that God
hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved” (Romans
10:9).

ica is before us.”—Thomas Wolfe.
Medical Science Increases Life Span
■ {* ■ 1 try*'* 'J
Children born today have a far better chance than you or your
parents had of surviving the disease hazards of childhood and living
to a ripe old age. The Biblical three score and ten, which years ago
was the exception, is now the expected — thanks to medical science.
Burial inscriptions of ancient Rome indicate that the average life
expectancy of that time was
from 20 to 30 years. In 1850, ex
pectation of life at birth was
about 40 years. By 1947, accord
ing to the National Office of Vital
Statistics, this figure had risen
to 66.8. The latest estimate places
the life^expectancy for this coun
try at about 70 years.
Many factors have contributed
to this increase in longevity. The
majority of women today consult
their physician or obstetrician
within the first two months of
pregnancy, and return for reg
ular checkups, thus permitting
early detection of conditions
which might adversely affect the
mother and the unborn infant.
Use of. the antibiotics and sul
fonamides to control infections,
whole blood and plasma, more at
tention to nutritional needs of
the mother, better cooperation
with the doctor, all contribute to
better fouhdational health for
the new baby.
However, it is in the preven
tion and successful treatment of
childhood diseases that the great
est contributions to longer and
healthier life have been made, for
while a particular disease may
not kill it could damage vital or
gans which, in the long run,
could lessen the life span.
Scarlet fever, measels, whoop
ing cough, diphtheria have all
been brought under control by
vaccine and drugs that prevent
them or lessen the severity of
their attack.
Pneumonia, influenza, small
pox — each the villain in death
dealing epidemics — have pretty
much fallen to the accomplish
ments of medical research. Tu
berculosis, still the greatest killer
of all infectious and parasitic
diseases, is being brought under
control by modern drugs and
techniques.
What will be the next disease
killer to fall before the concerted
efforts of medical science? Can
cer? Heart disease? Arthritis?
All along the line in our univer
sities, research foundations and
pharmaceutical laboratories the
search goes on, night and day.
The most important thing you ‘
can do to assure that your chil
dren are benefited by all these
fine accomplishments is to have
them visit the family physician
for regular checkups, and to
see him promptly when illness
strikes. Proper medical attention
early enough can often prevent
serious trouble later.

“Security Risks”
Reinstated
With Back Pay
WASHINGTON, (£> — The U.S.
Court of Appeals ruled Thursday
that six civilian employees of the
Army Signal Center at Fort
Monmouth, N. J., fired as secur
ity risks in 1954; are entitled to
get their jobs back.
The unanimous decision of a
three-judge panel said the Army
failed to follow its own regula
tions in the manner in which the
six were notified of their dis
charge.
Judge George T. Washington
said the regulation that the six
be given the findings of the
Security Hearing Board.
But, Washington said, they
merely were told that their con
tinued employment would not
be clearly consistent with the
interests of national security and
that their discharge was deemed
necessary and advisable in the
interest of national security.
The six who won reinstate
ment and back pay estimated at
about $180,000 were fired after
sensational hearings into alleged
subversive activities at the sig
nal center. The inquiry was
conducted by the late Sen. Joseph
McCarthy.
Twenty-five employees were
suspended. Of these 17 were re
instated by the Army. The others
eventually were dismissed, but all
now have won reinstatement.
Thursday’s ruling applied to
Aaron H. Coleman, Harold Du
core, Carl Greenblum, Bernice
Lecine, Melvin Morris and Hyam
Gerber Yamins.
They all held either scientific
jobs or jobs rated as requiring
clearance for access to secret
material.
Directors of Investment
Firm File Cross Complaint
FAIRBANKS—Directors of the
First Alaskan Investment Co.
recently filed an answer in Dis
trict Court to the suit of stock
holders Gene Rogge, Don Pear
son and Ken Ringstad, accusing
the three stockholders of a mal
icious and unlawful action, and
in a cross-complaint asking a
judgment of $14,000 from each
of the three.
The three had sued to force
directors Tom S. Browder, Ralph
Browne, Robert Kallstrom and
Donald E. Smith to show them
the corporation’s books, and fi
nancial records. The directors’
reply stated that no written de
mand had been served on the
company as is required by law;
if it had been, they would have
been ready and willing to pro
duce the records.
The four directors allege that
the action was filed to harrass
and injure the company and has
damaged the official standing of
the firm.
Prominent Jockey
Dies From Injuries
INGLEWOOD Calif., \Sh—Death ;
in a spectacular spill in a stakes
race at Hollywood Park ended
Jackie Westrope’s 25-year riding
career yesterday.
He passed the pack on the out
side and was ahead, 70 yards
from the wire, when his mount
bolted into the rail. Westrope
was thrown.
The 40-year-old former Nation
al riding champion hit the rail
so hard, a track official said, he
bent almost double—backward—
around it. He died less than two
hours later.
Westrope began big-time racing
at 15 and in that year—1933—
rode 301 winners to become na
tional champion. In the ensur
ing years he had 2,439 winners
from a total of 17,316 mounts.
In money winnings he ranked
10th nationally with a total of
$8,944,002.
Doctors said he suffered severe
internal injuries and fractures of
the shoulder, arm, elbow and
ribs.
No inquiry is planned at the
track. “The only one at fault
was the horse,” said a Hollywood
Park official.

jMan Returns Home
After 6-Year Absence
INGLEWOOD, Calif., UP) — One
day six years ago Albert Clark
Reed, a scientist at the California
Institute of * Technology, said
goodby to his wife, patted his
son’s head, left home—and dis
appeared.
The FBI, police, family and
friends were baffled. The trail
led 50 miles east to San Bernar
dino, then grew cold.
His wife, Florence, never gave
up hope that he would return.
He did Wednesday. He was
discovered working as a groom
at Hollywood Park here.
“I didn’t know why I left,”
he told newsmen. “I was—still
am—hazy and confused.”
Reed, a Caltech graduate and
World War II test pilot, was
working as an aeronautical con
sultant on a secret project when
he disappeared. Police say there
are no charges against him.
Will he return to scientific
work?
“I don’t know,” he said. “I
love horses, you know. They’re
wonderful, intelligent, sensible
creatures. I enjoy working with
them.”
Reed, balding and 51, asked
about his family and was told his
son, Timothy, 12, has been adop
ted by Mr. and Mrs. Dudley D.
Smith, Larchmont, N.Y. Smith,
a patent attorney, is Mrs. Reed’s
cousin.
Reed chatted with the boy
Wednesday night by phone. Tim
othy was “surprised, but it wasn’t
too much of a shock,” said Smith.
Reed later had a tearful re
union with his mother, Mrs. Cora
Reed, of nearby Glendale. “I
| knew you’d be back,” she said.
Blit his homecoming also was
! marked by sadness. He learned
that his wife died in December
1955 of cancer.
