IF CLOCK TURNED BACK
Chance to Live Daily Rut
Would Be Missed the Most
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (—What would you
miss most if civilization were de-
stroyed?
None of us alive, from a baby
in its cradle to wise old Winston
Churchill, can say for sure whether
the world stands in twilight or at
the edge of a great dawn. Nobody
knows. Nobody.
Pessimists fear that an atomic
war would wipe out mankind.
That’s not likely, unless some scien-
tist finds a way to set a match to
this earth we dream and scheme
on and turns it into a minor fire-
ball in the sky. Men lived in caves
before, and if the nations start
tossing hydrogen bombs around like
firecrackers, some men would still
crawl out of the caves alive when
the explosions ceased.
What would you miss most if
civilization were destroyed in your
own lifetime? What do you really
value in it? What would you yearn
for most again. If you were sudden-
ly forced back into a half-savage
condition, fighting fiercely for food,
new game. It was the music of
Beethoven, and a braying come-
dian on the radio.
Such a mixed-up rut It was
coughing ia a fog, and being
flooded by the moon on a summer
night. It was worrying why friends
sometimes act like half-enemies,
enemies like half-friends, then get-
ting a kind note from a complete
stranger. It was a sense of getting
older, and the youthful feeling that
comes with spring.
The daily rut? Suddenly it
seemed infinitely precious to me--
a channel between dead regrets
and new opportunities.
Why, what is civilization but the
collection of all our daily ruts, and
the chance to plow fresh ones?
Anything that destroyed our civili-
zation would destroy them, the
patterns we live by.
And that is what the average
man would miss most — the daily
rut he secretly loves and so often
rebels against
Cancer b Tougher
Nut Than A-Bomb,
Researcher Asserts
HOUSTON un—Cancer ia a much
tougher problem than the A-bomb,
a pioneer research physician de-
clared here last night when he was
honored at a banquet attended by
more than 200 cancer specialists
from 26 states.
Dr. Peyton Rous of New York
City, a 75-year-old physician who
as s youth herded cattle on the
North Plains of Texas, said, “Can-
cer is one of the greatest of human
riddles, a riddle that has baffled
man. The bomb was developed on
well-known physical principles.”
Dr. Rous was awarded the fourth
annual Bertner Foundation Award
for outstanding contribution to the
field of cancer research at last
night's banquet. More than 41
years ago Dr. Rous proved that
a virus could cause a cancer.
“We do not know whether can-
cer is physical, chemical or virus.
The riddle has attrseted experts
of all varieties who are seeking the
solution,” he said.

There are so many things. My Cowboy Dies With
wife and I were talking this over "
the other night, and Frances said:
“Well, at least there's one thing
you wouldn’t miss—the daily rut
you complain about.”
The daily rut? I fell to thinking.
What was the daily rut?
It was going to work, of course,
and the long voyage home on the
bus—to a nice meal at the end.
It wu a pleasant place to live in,
and bills, bills, bills. It was income
