X-ray Tests Urged
Early lung cancer can be detect
ed by x-ray. The "silent shadow" of
cancer of the lung shows up when
?he disease is most curable.
The ACS spokesmen advise men |
?o have annual chest x-rays along i
with a thorough physical examina
tion. Men over 45 should have two {
chest x-rays a year because the
heaviest incidence of lung cancer
begins to occur at this age.
If this almonition is widely fol
lowed, lung cancer deaths can be
expected to drop, and this would be
reflected in a reduced over-all can
cer death rate.
ACS officials assert that the de
clining cancer death rate among
women can be traced to the vig
orous public education program
which started in 1936 and received
great impetus with the reorganiza
tion of the American Cancer Soci
ety in 1945. With extra emphasis
on the weapons now available
greater 'progress is anticipated for
the future.

My Favorite Stories
By CARL GOERCII
This incident occurred shortly af
ter the Rev. James McDowell Dick
came to Raleigh as rector of the
Good Shepherd Church. The mem
bership of the church was large so
it took Mr. Dick some time to i
make his round of social calls and
it was some time before he got
around to Mr. and Mrs. 'Roland
Mumford*
Mr. Mumford was. at that time,
manager of the Sir Walter Hotel
j and had an apartment on the tenth
floor. On this particular day of
' which I speak it happened that
a close friend of his from Philadel
phia was staying at the hotel. He
had had a hard drive and had
reached Raleigh rather late in the
afternoon. Soon after his arrival,
he called up Roland and told him
who he was. Roland was delighted
to hear his voice and invited him
to come up to his apartment.
"I can't do that just now," the
friend replied, "but I tell you what
I wish you would do for me."
"What's that?" "
"I've driven three hundred miles
today and am rather worn out. On
top of that, I'm not feeling very
well, and I was wondering whether
you couldn't procure a drink for
me."
"Certaialy; be glad to,'.' Roland
told him. "Tell one of the bell boys
to come up to my apartment and
I'll send it down to you."
"I'll send him right up." was
the promise.
It was while that conversation
was actually in progress that the
Rev. James McDowell Dick was
moving upward in one of the hotel
elevators. He alighted on the tenth
floor, walked down the hall to Mr.
Mumford's apartment and rang the
bell.
No answer.
He rang again.
It happened that Roland was
taking a bath when the bell rang.
He hastily draped a towel about
him. grasped the flask which he
had placed on a table and opened
'he door cautiously, extending the
hand which held the bottle and
keeping the rest of himself con
cealed.
"Here you are!" he shouted.
Mr. Dick looked at the extended
hand. He looked at what the hand
contained and, despite his clerical
profession, he recognized its na
ture immediately. He hesitated,
? "Take it!" yellod Roland, who
was getting both cold' and impati
ent.
Mr. Dick took the bottle. The
hand was withdrawn and the door
was closed. He was left standing
out in the hall with a bottle in his
grasp
For a moment the genial rector
was nonplussed. In all his minis
terial experience he never had
been up against anything like that
i before. He was puzzled about what
had happened and didn't know ex
actly what to make of it.

! along. He had been sent for a bot
, tie. He saw a man with a bottle
| standing outside of Mr. Mumford'a
I door. Mr. Dick was stilt holding it
! rather stiffly before him. The boy
i reached out and took it, murmured
| a polite "Thank you. sir," and went
i off with it.
Mr, Dick was all mixed up, but
he determined to find out what it
was all about, So he ran? the bell
in determined fashion and brought
Roland to the door once more. And
when the latter discovered what
had taken place, he almost had
[ apoplexy. He put forth a profusion
of apologies which probably nev
er before has been equalled. And,
somehow or other, he doesn't fee'
exactly right about it yet.

Senator Scott 1
Proposes World |
Food Program
United States Senator W. Kerr ^
Seott has proposed a World Food
Bank to fight communism and meet
the problem of famine and hunger j
in needy areas of the world.
Senator Scott's proposal came in
the form of a resolution he Intro- .
ducod in the United States Senate
today.
In his resolution, Scott called on ,
President Elsenhower to negotiate
?through the United Nations and
other international channels?with '
friendly foreign nations in setting
up a World Food Bank patterned
after the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development.
"We have learned." Scott said
"that an international bank, con
ceived and operated along demo
cratic lines, can and will operate
successfully for the mutual bene
fit of all participating nations."
Under Scott's plan, nations par
ticinating in the World Food Bank
"ould borrow foods or fiber, or
both, and reoay such loans to the
bank when they are able to do so
either in kind, other raw materials
or in cash.
DurinK his campaign for the Sen
ate last year. Scott called for es
tablishment of a World Food Bank
as a means of disposing of Amer
ica's surplus agricultural commod
ities. Such a plan, he said, would
not only enable the United States
I to eliminate surplus goods, but
would also help put backward coun
tries of the free world on their
feet.
Scott said his plan would not be
a "charity or give-away program,"
but a businesslike, effective pro
gram.
"We have learned," Scott said
, "that an international bank can
operate successfully in the develop
ment of electric power, transporta
tion, communications, forestry, in
dustrial expansion, and in many
other fields. The same over-all
principles will work just as success
fully in providing machinery for
, the distribution, of food, fiber and
other agricultural products, to
