years One often hears the question is cancer hereditary The an swer told in a Canadian Cancer Society newsletter says that the tendency to develop cancer and the tendency not to develop can cer are phenomena peculiar to I nature It explains that in scientific re search on mice mating brother and sister for 30 to 50 genera tions has been possible to breed pure strains which prac tically never develop the disease and to other strains which almost all spontaneously develop cancer in a certain place such as the breast Marriage among humans being haphazard comparatively speak ing the genetic constitution is about as mixed up as it can be but were a family bred like the mice for generations stretching back to Abraham It would be possible to liken that family to the susceptible or resistant can cer strains of mice Because cancer is a relatively common disease it is responsible for one death in every seven or eight On the basis of chance alone it Is not surprising to find families in which several have died of cancer In a family of ten people the calculated probability that none will develop cancer is about one in three that two will develop it is about one in four that three will is about one in eight four is about one in five is about one in and so on The chance that all ten will develop cancer is about one in This is but one of the re search projects going on in Canadian laboratories to probe the cancer problem The growth from year to year in dollars available for research must go on Super power house for a Super Constellation is shown in this unusual photo taken at
