Marine Recruiter
Seeking Men For
Special Platoon
Master Sergeant Vernon Ham
mons, Southern Pines M-arine Re
cruiter, told the. Pilot last week
he IS seeking men from the
Southern Pines area to join the
U. S. Marines wtih the Chpe Fear
Platoon which is currently being
formed.
“One of the best advantages of
this social platoon,” Hammons
is that friends can join to-
gether, serve during recruit
training together, and come home
on leave together.”
Hammons, a 16-year veteran
Marine paratrooper, said that the
Cape Fear Platoon will be com
posed of men from Southeastern
North Carolina. This will include
men from Southern Pines and
Moore County.
“I want mentally and physical
ly qualified ntien between the
ages of 17 and 28 to serve in the
Cape Fear ^rines,” Hammons
said. “The platoon will not leave
for training imtil about June 14,
but I am accepting applications
now.”
High scjiool students were re
minded .that they can sign up
now- as the platoon will not leave
•until about thiree weeks a^r
graduation. He said that mem
bers of football and basketball
teams who join together can
serve as a special squad in the
Cape Fear Platoon.
According to Sgt. Hammons,
men interested in serving with
the Cape Fear Platoon can join

Expect Best Respopnse
J. Glenn Crihfield of'. High
Point, state campaign chairman,
said recently:
“The entire State, and almost
in the educational, fund-raising
drive. We are anticipating the
greatest response in the 15-year
history of cancer control in North
Carohna.”
Funds w^l go toward support
of the national cancer research
program, education of the public
and assistance with professional
education projects, and service to
cancer patients.
Prospects Brighter ^
“This year, more than ever lb6
fore, we are encouraged by the
prospects in cancer research,
Nearly one-third of the funds
raised in North Carolina will go
toward the support of valid re
search which we hope will soon
provide the answers to the cancer
riddle. It is interesting to note
that some of the most important
cancer research in the nation to
day is being done in North Caro
lina, and that this state will re
ceive more research funds from
our national organization than we
actually raise for research in the
State. At Duke, Wake Forest, and
the University of North Carolina,
as well as in such medical centers
as Charlotte, pioneering cancer
research is in progress,” Crihfield
commented.
The first state office of the
American Cancer Society, N. C.
Division, was opened at Mount
Airy in 1941. The first campaign
netted $4,544.18. Last year the
crusade returns amoimted to over
$341,000.
Cenlersi Established
By 1946, the Society had helped
establish the Division of Cancer
Control in the N .C. State Board
of Health by donating a $25,000
grant-in-aid. In 1948 the system
of free cancer detection centers
was initiated in the State, sup
ported by the State Board of
Health, and sponsored by local
and State medical societies and
local units of the American Can
cer Society.
In 1952, the North Carolina
Cancer Institute, a nursing home
for needy patients in the terminal
Lumberton, financially supported
by the State Division of the can
cer society. The home serves pa
tients from an counties of the
State, without regard to race or
economiQ status.
Last year, state headquarters of
the Society were moved to Ral
eigh. Dc. John Robert Kernodle
of Burlington is the president of
the N. C. Division, and Mrs. Don
ald S. Stone is executive director.
Speeding on U. S. streets and
highways last year killed 12,700
men, women and children.
