Presents Proof Sim Will Gmi Cancer Immunity ^?\ ? ? t Pittsburg.?Preventing cancer by sunlight may be possible if scient ists can learn more about how the sun's rays affect the body. Evi dence that exposure to sunlight does produce cancer immunity In some cases, was presented by Dr. Frank L. Apperly, Medical College of Vir ginia, at the recent meeting of the American Association of Patholo gists and Bacteriologists. Cancer mortality in the United States and Canada grows less, Dr. Apperly finds, as the amount of sunlight increases across the conti nent and as more people are ex posed to sunshine, for example, where more of the population is en gaged in fanning or other outdoor occupation. Differing from some other scien tists who believe sunlight hqlds the key to cancer prevention, Dr. Ap perly does not believe it necessary to have skin cancer in order to be come immune to other forms of can cer. Animals Studied Besides statistics of cancer deaths j in various climates, Dr. Apperly cit ed animals studied by other scien tists which, though not completely applicable to humans, have a bear ing on the question. "We may be able to reduce our cancer deaths," Dr. Apperly stated, "by inducing a partial or complete immunity by oxposure of suitable skin areas bo sunlight or the proper artificial light rays of intensity and duration insufficient to produce an actual skin cancer. The study of the effects of sun light on the living organism, and of those conditions in the skin which modify its action, may produce re sults of inestimable value." The aftermath of a prolonged bout of heavy drinking is likely to be an inflammation of the pancreas which may result in death, Dr. Eugene Clark, assistant medical examiner, New York City, warned. The disease is more likely to occur in hahiftnai drunkards than in those who occasionally become intoxicated, Dr. Clark ^found. It bears "as strik ing a relationship to long continued heavy alcoholic indulgence as does cirrhosis of the liver," he said. The frequency with which inflam mation of the pancreas and alcohol ism are associated is indicated from the fact that 27 of the reported cases were found in about 150 consecutive ly autopsied of acute and shronir al coholism dying in Bellevue Hospital. Hardening of the arteries is due fundamentally and directly to un dernourishnent of the walls of the arteries, in the opinion of Dr. W. C. Hueper, New York City. Support for his theory appeared in experiments in which he treated rats with the chemical, erythrol tetranitrate. In the experiments Dr. Hueper reported, the rats after treatment with this sub stance developed sclerotic or harden ed arteries of the heart, lung, kidneys and certain other organs.

' COMING IN ON THE NINETH GREEN. \ Congressman Warren A nswers P. O. Inquiry ? II ,1 Mr. John B. Lewis, Secretary j Chamber of Commerce i Farmville, North Carolina My dear John: I am in receipt of your letter of ( May 11th stating that you are having 1 inquiries about the possibility of a 1 federal building for Farmville; that ] you have noted that several ?4owns with less business activity than Farm ville are securing federal buildings ? and that according to your reollec- ] tion an allocation was made for a building at Farmville several years ago. There has never been any alloca tion for a building at Farmville. Your town only became a Second Class of fice in 1936 and shortly thereafter I was successful in getting Farmville and Plymouth placed on the eligible list for a federal building after the law was extended and money appro priated. Although at various times I have carefully pointed out in- the papers and written many citizens the system under which federal buildings are erected, it is quite natural that you should receive, inquiries as Farmville is on the eligible list. In 1934 Congress passed a two year federal building program, and at the end of the firt year it was ex tended to a five-year program. The Post Office Department, of course, selects the towns where the buildings are to be erected, based solely on receipts. Under this five year program the [ following buildings or additions were constructed in our district: 1934 Elizabeth City?Additions. 1935 Washington?Additions. 1936 Greenville?Additions. 1937 Williamston?Additions. 1938?Ahoskie. > The law expired in 1938 and since then every effort to renew it has been defeated. You probably saw in the paper within the last week that a contract would v be let for the building at Ahoskie. That is true and it is probably the last contract that will be let in our state for any build ing for which funds were allotted in 1938. The reason why the money which was credited to Ahoskie has been withheld was because the gov ernment had to enter a condemnation suit for the site. During the present session of Con gres a strong effort was made to re new the building program for two more years. Nothing could have suited me better as had we been able to pass such a law the only remain ing eligible towns in our district would have been provided for. Farm ville now stands No. 1 on the eligi ble list and Plymouth is No. 2. The President was urged to recommend another program but he has been quoted as being very much opposed to it at the present time. No public building can be erected anywhere in the United States until it has first been authorized by law and until money has been appropri ated. ? The five-year program that bas^now expired provided for one eli gible building in each Congressional district of the nation. On account of the fact that our debt limit has i 1 3 J !*11m now Deen reacneu hjiu cspeutwy uu account of the serious foreign situ ation which.is requiring vast expen ditures for national defense in this country, we can get no encourage ment about the extension of the federal building program. All I can say to you is that if the law should ever be renewed, then Farmville will get a building during the first year. While in our district there are only two eligible towns I know of, districts in the country that have as many as ten to twenty eligi- : ble towns. While there is widespread interest in another public building bill hardly anyone thinks it would stand a chance in Congress and ev eryone believes that if one could be passed that at this time it would be vetoed by the President. Neither Farmville nor Plymouth were ever eligible to be considered luring the five year program. I was only successful in getting the two towns placed on the eligible list in the hopes that tk|e program would be extended. I realize that this is a rather lengthy letter but I will ap preciate ikif you will carefully read it to the Chamber of Commerce and publish it in the Farmville Enter prise so that the citizens of Farm ville may have the correct facts about the matter. With all good wishes, Sincerely, ? LINDSAY C. WARREN. ? 1 ? ?' 1 ? ?? I CHICKEN DINNERS POISON. York..
