Governor Backing
Drive For Cancer
Funds In State
Mrs. Guy C. Hobbs Act
ing as Chairman In
Chowan County
4 Over 400 volunteers of the Ameri
can Cancer Society met in the execu
tive mansion in Italeigh Friday morn
ing to hear aii address by Governor
Kerr Scott, in which he heartily en
dorsed the cancer control work that
the American Cancer Society has
done in North Carolina during the
past eight years.
April has been declared “Cancer
Control Month”: by Presidential pro
clamation, by Act of Congress and by
resolution of the North Carolina Gen
eral Assembly, the Governor said.
“On this morning of the first day of
Cancer Control Month,” he continued,
“I wanted to tell you that I stand
solidly behind your purposes for the
month and for the year, that I ap
preciate the work you have done for
this State in the eight years of your
organization, and that I recognize the
need for continued expansion of that
program.”
The Governor continued, “I wish to
tell you personally and the people of
the State as well that as Governor, I
support the work of the American
Cancer Society and urge the people
to join me in that support in a defin
ite, determined way.”
Governor Scott, in his address,
briefly discussed the progress that
had been made in cancer control in
North Carolina, giving considerable
credit for the creation and advance
ment of the program to the North
Carolina Division of the American
Cancer Society.
Following the Governor’s address
was an informal speech by E. Y.)
Floyd of Raleigh, director of the!
Plant Food Institute, member of the
executive committee of the American
Cancer Society’s North Carolina Di
vision, and state chairman of that
organization’s April fund - raising
campaign.
“Doctors tell us that one-half of
all cancer cases can now be cured,”
Mr. Floyd said. “But we aren’t cur
ing nearly that percentage, largely
because people still do not know the
cancer symptoms or danger signals
which may indicate early, curable
cancer. We are prone to wait for
pain, and pain is a late symptom of
cancer, often a too-late symptom.”
Mr. Floyd spoke briefly about the
research work of the Anterican Can
cer Society, stressing the fact that
definite progress has been made in
the last year, much of it now improv
ing the treatment of the disease.
Mrs. George E. Marsha l ! of Mt.
Airy, State Commander and executive
vice president of the North Carolina
Division of the American Caticer So
ciety, emphasized the work of other
groups interested in cancer control,
among them the Medical Societies
and women’s clubs of the State. “The
closest cooperation now exists be
tween the Medical Society of the
State of North Carolina, the State
Board of Health and the American
Cancer Society.
Mrs. Marshall concluded her re
marks by saying, “I feel that we
