Good Lighting in Borne Important If you have access to a photoelectric light meter, such as the exposure meters used by many amateur photographers, you can check the illumination in your home to see if you're getting enough light.

Good lighting is· an invaluable way to protect your priceless pair of eyes, according to Edwin L. H_uppert, head of the Environmental Sanitation Section of the Sta le II ea Ith Department. Good light is especially important, he said, since today we sometimes "chain our eyes clown to small print, stitches and other exacting w.ork with only 1/1000 as much as nntdoor daylight."

The first step is to check the instruction manual to see that the meter's scale reads in foot-candles.

The most popular meters do.

"Place the meter wherever you wish to check the illumination," l{uppcrt said. "Turn the photoelectric cell toward the source of normal light, and read the scale.

The reading will be the number of foot-candles of light."

The following standards have been adopted by the State Health Department for adequate illumination: Rooms where fine detail vJork is done, such as sewing or drafting, s-hould be illuminated by at least 25 foot candles. Reading and general working areas, such as the kitchen, should have at least 15 foot candles.

Rooms not used for studying or detailed work require six foot candles, while corridors, stairs and passages- need four foot candles, Ruppert said.

4-H DONATES TO SEED FUND

LOCAL CLUBS AMONG THOSE SENDING SEI;W TO GERMAN YOUTH

Thirteen Pierce county 4-J--I clubs have contributed $13.00 for purchase of garden s-eed to be flown to Ger111an youth in Germany, according to the county agent's office_ Clubs that have each given $LOO for this purpose arc: Silver Lake Calf club, Silver Lake Girls, Gig Harbor Girls, Knapp Road 4-H club, Firgrove Boys, Fruitland Girls, Kapowsin Lake Girls, Riverside Girls, Roy Boys, Graham Girls, Fox Island Boys·, Elk Plain Commando 4-H club and Fox Island Girls.

These grants were initiated recently when the army military government of Germany asked Washington State 4-H clubs for any assistance possible in supplying home garden seeds for youths there. These gifts by 4-H clubs illustrate just one of the many demonstrations of the principles of 4-H democracy and should help a war stricken people rehabilitate themselves.

"Learn by Doing" is a 4-H motto, and that is what the Pierce County 4-H'ers say they hope the German people will also do with this seed.

PARKLAND P. O. ENTERED FRIDAY LIGHT & WATER CO. SAFE ROBBED; ATTEMPT TO OPEN P. 0. SAFE

Early Fri<lay morning, April 4, the Parkland Post Office anti Light and \\Tater Company were entered and burglarized. An undetermined amount was ta kc 11 from the U. S. Post Office while nearly $500 were Jost from the Light and vVatcr Company safe.

ELMER BEARD .......................................................... Editor and Publisher NORMAN JENSEN .............. --------···-----------------·------------····Associate Editor

A community newspaper for Midland, Parkland, Brookdale,. and Spanaway. Published every Thursday by Beard Printing Co., P. 0 Box 797, Parkland, Wash.

Entered as second-class matter October 3, 1945, at the post office at Parkland, Washington, under the Act of ·March 3, 1879.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES, By Mail: 1 year, $2.50; six months, $1.75 FOR NEWS AND ADVERTISING CALL GR 7100

A Human Plea The bed of pain is a stranger to most people. The fervent, beating wish to die yet not to die is stranger still to most. The sight of hope springing eternal where there is no hope is soulwrenching, but you may see it, if you wish.

We choose a death for our worst criminals, a quick end, paid for by the state and involving no immediate discomfort to the individual pocketbook. Some of us may choose our way to die, but 184,300 of our neighbors will die this year without choice, and many without mercy. CANCER! That baldly means that one cancer infected person will slip beyond the curtain of eternity every three minutes throughout the next year; 5 2 0 persons every day. The total number doomed is roughly equivalent to the total of 15 armored divisions. Think what that means!

Commencing this week the American Cancer Society, bolstered by .the Washington State Junior Chamber of Commerce, will try to raise $165 ,000 in the state as part of the national campaign for $12,000,000 to help combat the dread disease. Lent is almost over and we are wondering if yoU! can give up something to save a life, a task which is as spiritually satisfying as the Lenten denial. We are wondering if a few can forget to buy that fifth of whiskey and help some of the cancer inflicted to forget their troubles by turning that same money over to the fund. We are wondering if the price of a few desserts canno_t go to make some cancer patients feel better,· and if the purchase of a new car cannot wait a week longer that cancer research may seek that much further into the unknown.

There are so many, small ways which mean so little to us, but can mean so much for others.

Though it may be a cold thought, we wish that we could let each and every able person see a cancer patient in person and observe the impact of the creeping death. What it does is not nice and the further effect upon famileis,, upon the children of these families, is heart-rending. Believe us; understanq.

When you see the collectors for the fund clear your mind and heart of selfishness. This is not just a charity. It is as much a fight for your life as for anyones against a disease which medical science has not yet been able to fully halt or destroy.

Be merciful. be human, be generous.-Vancouver Sun.

Thuse whu gave so generousiy of their time an<l money last year for the fight against our No. 1 enemy, Cancer, will be interested in the service the contributions amounting to $22,690, are making possible. Mrs. lJ!anche Pflaum, field secretary, makes the following report; Forty per cent nf the gross is sent by the Washington division directly to the American Cancer Society to be used for education and research. The past year has witnes-sed a vast step forward since the Society throtigh the Committee on Growth, has embarked upon its well coordinated program.

Specific grants and fellowships have been given to stimulate the sluw, but not impossible task of finding the answer that will ultimately conquer caucer.

Sixty per cent remains in the state. In addition to the funds allocated on a national level, a grant of $7,500 was· given to the pathology department of the University of \Vashington Medical School to support a project in cancer research. In Pierce county a grant was given to the Pierce County Medical Society, who under the superv1s1011 of their neo-plastic committee, ha vc established the Detection Center at 728% St. Helens A venue, Tacoma. The center is open from 1 to 4 p.m. on the second and fourlh Tuesday of each month.

Since the center has been in operation for six months, a report is now available; 289 persons., men, women and children, have availed themselves of its services; 8 new cancer cases were found; 31 had pre-cancerous conditions; 6 had re-current cancer; 17 had cancer that had never been erradicated, these are to be under constant obsenation. All were asked to see their private physicians for treatment. Tl1e rest were assured they ha<l no evidence of cancer at the time.

To carry on the education program, an office is maintained at 205 City Hall Annex-MA 3755, where further information and up to the minute literature may be obtained.

Your help and cooperation made the above possible. Vie urge you to use the existing facilities and to keep informed on the progress of our three-fold program of Research, Service and Education.

WORMS MAKE MONEY FOR SOUTH END WOlVIEN

RMS TURNED NE CROP SOUTH END WOMEN OPERATE USEFUL, BUT WORMY ENTERPRISE Hight in our own back yard is a type of farm new to the Northwcsl, run by two worncn who like to feel that they are modern pionccrs, which indeed they are.

The Miss('s Lee Mason and Harriet Kennedy, owners of the \!Vestcm Earthworm Hatchery, operate the only ,;.cientific earthworm farm in the statt. Out of 1,600 kinds of worms the hatchery specializes in three types selected for their best nse in gardens, as poultry feed and good fishing.

"At our farm," said Miss Mason, "we have a department <levot('.cl to research anc\ experiment where commercial farmers-, home gardenc crs. garclen clubs and those raising poultry may submit their problems and questions."

Almost all \V-ashington gardens have earthwnrms, for nature knows they are 1i,cccssary, hut rare is the garden that has enough or the best kind. "Farming the earthworm way," said Miss K.cnnecly, "is money in the bank, for this method cnts out disease, insects and weeds and produces a larger, better tasti11g and more abundant harvest."

These worms are very helpful in s-eecl beds. As a special note to 1·he ladies, earthworms make wonclerful pets when placed in house plant and winclow box. They are uut unly useful but silent as well.

After reach· ing the mouth of the Columbia river, their journey culminated in St. Louis, Sept. 23, 1806, two years, four months and 8000 miles after the start of their perilous trip.

A young skeptic went about trying to disprove all the commonly accepted beliefs. He made his first great demonstration when he gave the He to the· statement that "a watched pot never boils." He actually watched a pot until it did boil.. It .was equally difficult, but as worth while, to prove that some times a rolling stone does· gather moss. He kept on, however, .until he amassed considerable data ·on the. subject of popular misinformation.

Then he heard the statement that "an Indian never forgets" and he set out to disprove it. He went out to the Crow Reservation in Montana and became acquainted with a young buck. He asked him if he liked eggs; and the Indian replied: "'Yes." Twenty-five years later the skeptic returned to the· reservation and met his In(iian friend. Raising his hand in saluation, he said to the redskin: "HOw!" "Fried," the Indian replied.
