A prove Civil
Service Merit
Plan For State
Prof. Pollock's Committee
Finds Department Heads
Favorable To Reform
LANSING, March 6. - 0) - Gov-
ernor Fitzgerald's civil service com-
mission, appointed to draft a civil
service bill for the legislature, said to-
day the merit system has the endorse-
knent of state department heads.
The commission met yesterday be-
hind closed doors with executives of
half a dozen state departments. Pro-
fessor James K. Pollock, head of the
committee, said not one of the con-
ferees objected to a civil service sys-
tem of choosing employes, but that
they suggested they be given the right
to choose from two or three eligible
persons in filling jobs.
Most of them wanted to reserve the
right to dismiss for cause and to sus-
pend subordinates in the interests of
discipline.
. Conferring with the committee
were Oscar G. Olander, state police
commissioner; P. J. Hoffmaster, di-
rector of conservation; M. B. Mc-
Pherson, tax commission chairman;
Dr. C. C. Slemons, commissioner of
public health; Dr. William Haber,
emergency relief administrator; John
J. O'Hara, auditor general, and Gil-
bert H. Isbister, secretary of the liq-
uor commission.
Pollock said Haber went so far as
to recommend that the employment
of relief dispensers be placed on civil
service "right down through the
counties."
He quoted Olander as saying the
civil service plan in his department
has worked well and he can see no
reason why it should not work in
others.
The commission chairman said
hearings will be held again here and
in Saginaw and the Upper Peninsula
to obtain a wider picture of state sen-
tinient on the question.
454 CCC Men
Aided By WPA
Study Program
German, French, History
Among Subjects Offered I
In Extension Courses
Out of the 765 high school gradu-
ates who are being aided in exten-
sion study by the University's Works
Progress Administration funds, 454
are Civilian Conservation Corps men
stationed at 28 camps throughout the
State.
According to -Dr. Fred G. Steven-
son, State supervisor of these corres-
pondence centers for the Michigan
WPA, the following freshmen cor-
respondence courses are available for
those unable to enroll in the Uni-
versity at the present, but still are
desirous of doing work: English, to
be required of all freshmen, geo-
graphy, history, mathematics, ele-
mentary French and German.
* Sociology and mechanical drawing
are available from the home study
department of the Extension Divi-
sion, but are not acceptable for fresh-
man credit. Additional courses are
being contemplated.
The CCC men are alloted certain
regular hours while they are in camp
in order to study, and those who sat-
isfactorily pass the final examina-
tions in their courses will be eligible
to enroll in the University if they so
desire.
An average of about 20 men in all
CCC camps are taking various courses
from the University. The smallest
enrollment is 9 at Camp Walkerville,
a negro camp, to 30 at Camp Custer.
Besides the 454 CCC men, 291 stu-
dents are meeting in various schools
and buildings throughout the State
under a WPA instructor, and 20 are
doing individual study in conjunc-
tion with the Extension Division.

Wax Models, Posters And
Photographs On Display
In Medical School
An exhibit which vividly illustrates
the effects and the treatment of
cancer, the second most fatal disease
in the United States, in such a
manner as to be understood by the
( layman as well as the student of med-
icine, is now on display on the sec-
ond floor of the West Medical Build-
ing. The exhibit is sponsored by the
American Society for the Control
of Cancer.1
It includes a number of life-like
wax models showing the effect of
cancer on the various parts of the
body, while accompanying models
show the results of correct treat-
ment. Case histories are presented
with a number of the models. Graphs
show the age at which cancer is most
dangerous, and also reveal that 120
deaths per 100,000 population are
caused every year by cancer.
Posters List Symptoms
Another of the posters placed on
exhibit lists the five most common
and most easily recognizable symp-
toms of cancer. They are any per-
sistent lump or thickening below the
skin, any irregular bleeding or dis-
charge from any of the body open-
ings, any sore that does not heal
-particularly about the tongue,
mouth or lips, persistent indigestion,
and sudden changes in the growth
of a wart, mole or wen.
The larger part of the wax models
in the exhibit is devoted to a study
of cancer of the breast, the point
at which women are most commonly
afflicted, as is revealed by a large
chart compiled by the Society.
Early Treatment Stressed
g A -collection of photogiraphs is
shown with the models which illus-
trate cases which were correctly treat-
ed, and others which were neglected
until it was too late for treatment.
Such cases as the latter, a bulletin
of the Society points out, are incur-
able, but cases which are caught in
the early stages are definitely cur-
able, while great advances in the de-
velopment of the treatment now make
possible in some intermediate cases
a complete and permanent cure.
The Society bulletins posted at the
exhibit, and the numerous case his-
tories all point out the importance
of having cancer treated as soon as
the slightest symptoms are found.
The case histories also reveal that the
most common treatment used today is
the use of radium and excision, and,
although the first treatment does not
always have permanent results, it is
possible over a series of years to com-
pletely remove the cancer and the
tumor which may accompany it.
The purpose of the display, as out-
lined in the posters of the Society,
is the education of the public in the
control of cancer, and the further-
ance of studies which will cut down
greatly the death rate resulting from
cancer to that it may no longer take
its annual toll among persons of
both sexes and all ages.
