S. LAWRENCE, 1 D.D.S. Mix any one of these statistics with your favorite tobacco and take a deep drag that is, if your conscience allows: -About 15,000 new cases of oral-pharyngeal cancer occur each year. -Two out of three new cases will be dead within five years. Of all major sites primary cancer, only cancer of the lung and stomach carry a lower survival rate than oral cancer.
-Cigaret smokers run four times the risk of fatal oral cancer compared to non-smokers. -Pipe and cigar smokers run three times the risk of fatal oral cancer compared to nonsmokers. These statistics alone should scare any smoker. But if that isn't enough, just consider what could and sometimes does pen to the life of a person who develops cancer in the oralpharyngeal region. Mr.
has a "sore" on the gum behind a molar tooth. Many weeks later, when it swells and hurts, he goes to the doctor. Biopsy, report: Cancer of the jaw. Treatment: Radiation therapy to reduce cancer. Some weeks later, half the jaw is removed.
Since cancer spread into lymph nodes of neck, these were removed in radical neck dissection. Mrs. complains of hoarseness. Since she's smart, and also lucky, this early symptom brought her to the doctor before entire larynx became involved and forced removal of voice box. Biopsy report: Cancer of vocal chord.
Treatment: Radiation therapy. Mr. had nosebleeds and later developed a swelling on left side of roof of mouth. Biopsy report, Cancer of sinus. Treatment: Radiation therapy and, some weeks later, removal of half the upper jaw, including the eye.
Why play Russian roulette with yourself? Life's much too sweet mess it up in that awful way. Take my advice and do the following: Throw all tobacco out of the house. If you feel sorry for yourself, merely add a bit to each of your other vices to make up for the smoking vice you've given up. (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)

NEA Telephoto Tire Millennium A tire that won't go flat, even when slashed, hit by bullets or riddled by spikes, is a near-future possibility.
The secret is use of a rubber foam instead of air to "inflate" the tire. To inflate, the foaming material and chemicals are placed in the casing. Under heat, the material expands into a spongelike substance to fill the casing (inset.) Tests under way at Goodyear are aimed at overcoming weight and heat build-up. Projected, initial use: Military vehicles, mining, construction and farm equipment. SVC Board To Study Tax Referendum Need The Sauk Valley College Board, meeting in regular session Monday evening, voted to adjourn its meeting to Monday, July 7, for the purpose of investigating in detail the possible need I for a tax referendum in the college district.
The action came after Sauk Valley College President Dr. Edward J. Sabol presented a report to the board which indicated that the future cost of operating the college will exceed the anticipated revenue which the college will have at its disposal. President Sabol said there appeared to be two (2) primary reasons for the potential need for additional future monies. One involves the projected increase in enrollment at Valley, which will require the college to provide services to an increasingly larger student body.
The second reason cited by Dr. Sabol dealt with the costs of operating the college's new permanent facilities, which are scheduled to be completed late this fall. The new building on campus is approximately five times as large as the temporary facilities in which the college is currently quartered. The president's report gested that the board study the possible need for tax rate increase in both the educational fund and the building fund. The current educational fund rate is 12 cents per $100 of assessed valuation while the building fund rate is three cents.
Neither of these rates has been changed since the college opened four years ago, but the student body has more than doubled since that time and new educational programs have been added annually. Dr. Sabol also noted that the original rates, when passed in 1965, were expected to be sufficient for four years. President Sabol suggested that the board, at its adjourned meeting, review what each additional one cent increase in the tax rates could produce in terms of revenue and match that against the figures on projected revenue and cost.
