—The Suburban Community
Alias Mr. Brown Explains
Progress of Brotherhood
By the Oak-Woodser
His name is Mr. Brown, at
least for the sake of anonymity,
and he has been teaching school
children in the South Oakland
County area for many years.
With each passing year, Mr.
Brown says, he's noticed an in-
crease in the number and qual-
ity of Brotherhood programs
planned in the schools.
Mr. Brown feels certain that
these programs have gone a long
way toward bettering human re-
lations and understanding
among young students.
Now teaching in the Oak
Park school system, Mr. Brown
explained that all of these
Brotherhood activities would
fall on deaf ears, if it weren't
for changes in the home live
of many youngsters.
He is quick to point out that
many sociological changes in the
past few years have made for
better racial and religious un-
derstanding. Among these are
better training- in the home, a
greater willingness for people of
one sect to get along better with
their neighbors and a return to
religion.
The latter point Mr. Brown
bears out by stating that more
people than ever before have be-
come affiliated with churches
and synagogues of their choice.
With guidance of clergymen ori-
ented toward better human re-
lations, some of that warmth for
one's brothers is bound to rub
off, he says.
Mr. Brown also believes that
living in the suburbs is a factor
that will bring about the ulti-
mate in Brotherhood—complete
understanding of individual dif-
ferences.
For the most part, he ex-
plains, the majority of subur-
ban residents-are younger peo-
ple, many of whom are parents
who have similar problems re-
gardless of race, religion or
creed. -
Then, too, these younger citi-
zens are in the most part second
generation Americans. Ties with
fellow countrymen are not near-
ly as strong or as limiting as in
previous generations. They no
longer depend on one another,
to the complete exclusion of oth-
ers, Mr. Brown explains.
Mr. Brown is not really an au-
thority, but he has been an ob-
server for many years, and he
has had an opportunity to talk
to parents and children to learn
.their ideas and reactions to
fundamental precepts of Broth-
erhood. His views, we thought,
were refreshing.
One of his favorite chuckles is
over the mother whose beliefs
excluded all others of differing
opinion, until the day her young
son brought her the guest list
for a birthday party. In it were
contained the names of his
school chums, who included a
Negro, a Jew and a Chinese boy.

Otto Warburg Cairns He Has
Discovered Secret of Cancer
BERLIN, (JTA)—Prof. Otto H.
Warburg, 71, winner of the Nobel
Prize for Medicine in 1931, re-
ports in a German scientific
journal that he has solved the
bitterly-diSputed question as to
the origin of cancer. For a quar-
ter of a century he has directed
the Institute for Cell Physiology
in the Dahlem section of Berlin,
formerly known as the Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute. In 1948-49 he
carried out researches in the
United States.
According to the famed bio-
chemist and physiologist, who
has studied the processes of liv-
ing cells for more than three
decades and is considered the
world's foremost authority on
the subject, cancer does not de-
velop through outside causative
agents such as viruses. It sets in
when a cell does not absorb
enough oxygen, so that its nor-
mal "breathing" is chronically
impaired. His findings, he be-
lieves, show the way to future
prevention of the disease.
Final proof of his thesis was
furnished recently, he indicates,
when American researchers
