such private property is thus akin to mayhem so you are merely indulging in self- defense when you defend your private property. Our famous Constitution thus protects us from even un­ warranted search and seizure by Uncle Sam, so you are en­ tirely justified in likewise protecting yourself and your property from any lesser thieves, vandals or marauders. But while thousands of brave American soldiers have been trying to guarantee those same rights of private property, which are basic to all other freedoms, our wishy-washy politicians in Washington for the past decade have permitted erosion of our laws. Maudlin sentimentalists and the "doves" have even decried our loyal police officers and have tried to yell "Brutality!" when honest taxpayers are being safeguarded by those same police. How long would such doves stay out of the Siberian salt mines, if they* were in Russia? LAYMAN SPEAKERS - Gerald Snyder of the Episcopal church of i-ah* Forest, president of the Episcopal Churchmen, diocesan organization of laymen, was guest speaker at Layman's Sunday at St. Paul's Episcopal church, McHenry, last Sunday. He spoke on the opportunities for laymen participation. Shown with him, at right, are Mrs. Donald Doherty and Mayor Doherty. The latter read the lesson asipart of the prayer service at 10 o'clock. Insulation. The better your insulation, the less heat you lose in winter. Your heating system doesn't have to run as often or as long to keep you warm. The same insulation that helps you keep heat inside in winter helps keep it outside in summer. Even if you don't have air conditioning, insulation puts a barrier between you and the heat outside. If you have air conditioning, you'll find it doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep you cool. What is proper insulation? Recommendations vary with the type of construction. With electrically heated homes, we recommend the equivalent of 6" in the ceiling, 4" in the walls, and 2" in the floor. In all cases, the better the insulation, the more efficiently the heating and cooling system will operate. If you're building a new home, check with your builder to see that you're getting the maximum insulation for your living space. If you feel your present house is under-insulated, an insulating contractor or supplier can show you how to improve it. Besides living in greater comfort all year 'round, you'll save money--and help conserve energy. And that's important today!

Also, you girls should scratch with your long fingernails. Kick your foe in the shins. But meanwhile keep screaming at the top of your lungs. Attackers are com­ munists, so turn your fear into intense anger, as Mary did! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE J-595: Mary H., age 26, is the wife of an Indianapolis doctor. They were building a new house in a nice residential section and late one afternoon decided to drive out to view it. Mary had her own car and went ahead, while the doctor followed. But he stopped at a little shop to buy some doughnuts for next clay's breakfast. When Mary arrived, she walked up the steps to the front porch and was just looking around for a moment before entering the door when a man jumped up beside her. He tried to jerk her purse away from her. Mary held on tightly and began screaming at the top of her lungs to try to attract the aid of her neighbors. But nobldy paid any attention to her cries for help. Meanwhile, the intruder pulled her off the porch and wrestled her to the ground. Then he fled, since she still kept on screaming. Mary's initial fear now turned to anger so she jumped into her auto and started chasing the culprit. As she drove out of her driveway, ho* husband pulled into the street and saw her, but didn't know what had hap­ pened, so he stopped in front of their new house. Mary lost the thief and soon returned in her car. When she told her husband what had happened, he was so incensed that he'd have killed the intruder if he could have laid hands on him. And I say "killed" advisedly, for this doctor is a vigorous exponent of "free enterprise." He hates communists! And he considers everybody a communist who tries to in­ vade other people's property and appropriate it. For your property is an ex­ tension of your own per­ sonality. It represents as much a part of you as your arm or foot. In law, it is called mayhem when a foe injures your body and thus destroys your hand or foot. But when you honest tax­ payers skimp and save and struggle for many years to acquire a house or little farm, then that real estate is likewise a part of your total personality.

Install It Yourself Louise wants the facts about our 20 million of indigent folks who are now being supported by the hard working taxpayers of America. Thomas Jefferson disliked the cities with their zooming problems of unem­ ployment and welfare needs. So -maybe the "reservation" idea below would cut welfare costs in half and also reduce city crime waves. By -George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE M-526: Louise S., aged 41, wants some information. "Dr. Crane," she began, "I am a faithful reader of your column. "In fact, I got my son to following it while he was in high school. "Now he has taken a position as a life insurance salesman, so I'd like your booklet on 'Modern Sales Psychology.' "But you recently had a case concerning the millions who are too low in I.Q. to be taught a skilled trade or profession. "You stated that 20 million Americans are so low in their intelligence that they can perform at best only unskilled tasks. "While I don't doubt your word, I'd appreciate some specific references, for I'd like to make a talk on this subject before our Business and Professional Women's club." JOBS AND I .Q. Dr. L.M. Terman was our chief pioneer of intelligence tests in America. Back in 1916, his text was published under the title "The Measurement of Intelligence." Therein he stated that the outright feebleminded have an I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) of 70 or less. Those in the category bet- G.I. Joe. 4. Fort Apache. 5. Western Sherff set. 6. Mat­ chbox city. 7. Farm set with growing field. I love Rudolph." "John Nett" "2411W. Mehring" "Dear Santa Clause," "I want a typewriter for Christmas. Will you please get me a typewriter for Christmas,. 1117 Quincy avenue, McHenry, 111. 60050." "From Patty" "Patricia Ann Thiel" ween 70 and 80, are called "Borderline" folks, often classifiable as either dull or feebleminded. And Dr. Terman found that 10 percent of our unclassified school children had an I.Q. at that time of 85 or less. Alas, the percentage of feebleminded has been zooming in the intervening 54 years for the feebleminded and borderline groups have bred like guinea pigs! Our benevolent Welfare departments ^fwiy them liberally for every illegitimate child and many have thus borne as high as 10 to 12 children, often by half a dozen unwed fathers. The feebleminded and dull or borderline cases never used the "Pill" nor other contraceptive methods. But the better educated and more alert segment of the population meanwhile kept reducing the size of their families. As a result, the striking statement has been made that 1,000 Harvard graduates won't produce 2,000 progeny in the next generation. Contrast this with 1,000 at the other end of the I.Q. curve, whose offspring total at least 5,000 children, a large per­ centage of which are per­ manent wards of the state (meaning, on the backs of you readers). As per Dr. Terman's diagnosis way back in 1916, 85 percent of Americans were not capable of passing the at­ tainment of a 13-year-old. And Dr. H.H. Goddard's estimate of the outright feebleminded was double that of Dr. Terman when his book was published in 1926. So I am being unduly con­ servative in my estimate that 20 million current Americans can never be expected to do any more complicated work than that of a normal 10-year-old child! That is one reason why many astute (and intrepid) educators think it wise to set up reser­ vations on western lands now owned by Uncle Sam, and thus place our indigents thereon so we can support them at less than half the present welfare charges! Meanwhile, they will not Cancer causes more human misery than any other ailment, partly because of the widespread fear which it produces in millions of healthy people who just imagine they have, or may soon develop, cancer. So scrapbook this case few future serenity of your mind. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., Instead, they are metastatic or "seedling" cancers from some other original site. For example, a person may have a small cancer in the stomach that has never been detected. In fact, it may remain small and without evident symptoms. Yet if even one of its cancer cells breaks loose and starts floating in the blood, that cancer cell may lodge in a M D -s capillary vessel and produce aced the major cancer which does CASE J-581: Martha D., age 38, has lung cancer. "Dr. Crane," her tearful daughter began, "mother never smoked a cigarette in all her life! "So how could she develop lung cancer?" CANpEfVSURPRISES Well/"not all cases of lung cancer develop in smokers, though cigarettes are a basic factor in about 60 per cent of such cancers. For example, Martha had worked as a cook or chef in a little restaurant where the stove was not properly ven­ tilated. And a recent Philadelphia medical team composed of Doctors D.A. Cooper, A.R. Crane, and K.R. Boucet, sur­ veyed lung cancer cases among professional cooks. They found that 41 per cent of the victims were non-smokers! So they came to the con­ clusion that prolonged inhaling of heated fats and oils may account for cancers in the respiratory system. a That means it would be doubly wise to have a good ventilating faffi above your kitchen stove, even in the case of the usual housewife. And for professional cooks or chefs, such proper ventilation is doubly valuable. Imagine, too, the double irritation to the lungs when a professional cook is also a heavy smoker and then keeps inhaling those hot fumes from the broiler or hot stove bur­ ners! But many lung cancer cases don't originate in the lungs at all! cause symptoms. By law of averages, cancer seedlings are most likely to lodge in the liver, lungs or brain. Why? Because those areas have the most miles of tiny capillary Mood vessels. And the capillaries are too small for a cancer cell to traverse, for the smallest capillaries have a diameter that will admit only a red blood corpuscle. But cancer cells are much larger than a red blood cell! As a result, the cancer cell gets stuck, like a cork in a bottle, when it tries to enter a tiny capillary. Then it starts growing larger and larger. The liver contains the largest capillary bed in the entire human body which is why we find so many cases of cancer in the liver, usually coming from some other starting point. Lungs and brain also are favorite sites for seedling cancer cells to get stuck. At present the usual methods of treatment of cancer are these: (1) Surgical excision if it is operable. But liver cancers are not amenable to surgery. (2) Chemical or irradiational attack, as by X-ray, cobalt, etc. (3) Dr. Andrew C. Ivy's supplemental technique, as by his Carcalon injections, which help restore the body's natural level of immunity, much as injections of insulin bring a diabetic's blood sugar level back to normal. Winter Months Increase Chance Of Home Last year, home accidents in the U.S. killed 27,500 persons - including approximately 5,000 in the Midwest ~ many during cold weather when residents forgot their indoor surroun­ dings can be just as treacherous as the harsh outdoors. Accidents in the home in 1971 disabled more than four million persons - nearly twice as many as were disabled in work ac­ cidents, and cost Americans nearly $3 billion. During cold months, fire is one of the greatest hazards. As people spend more time in­ doors, increased use of heating units and electrical appliances places extra strain on power systems. Faulty electrical equipment is the leading cause of building fires in the U.S., says the In­ surance Information institute. "When preparing for the cold outdoorafalso check indoors defejmve heaters, chimney, stores, plug-in appliances, iwer tools and wiring." Falling or tripping is leading home killer ~ at [counting for more than oner Vthird of all home accident leaths, says the Institute. * V R e m o v i n g c o r d s , wastebaskets, vacuums and other objects from walking areas prevent falls.

Deaths from poisonings have more than doubled since 1960, partially due to misuse of opiates, aspirin, sleeping pills and tranquilizers.
