Cancer Clinics In Operation Weekly Clinics Held Every Fri-, day Afternoon FYom 1 to 2:30 P.M. At the February 3rd clinic of the Northeastern Cancer De tection Center in Elizabeth City, 33 persons appeared for examinations, 26 white women, six white men and one colored woman. Those examined came from the following counties: Pasquotank, 20; Currituck, 5; Per quimans, 1; Chowan, 2? Martin, 2; . Bertie, 1; Edgecombe, 1, and Wash ington, 1. This cancer center was established by the Division of Cancer Control of the State Board of Health and is con ducted by the County Medical Society with the assistance of the women of the community who volunteer to serve as receptionists, nurses and nurses’ aides. The objective of the center is to find the cancers in North Carolina and, having found them, to refer the patients to their personal physicians for recommended treatment. The examinations are given without cost, and are available to all North Carolinians 35 and over, without re gard to race, creed or color. In addi tion, those who are under 35 are eli gible for examination if they have any of the recognized “Danger Sig nals of Cancer”, or when they are re ferred by their' physician. The Clinics are held every Friday afternoon in the Health Center. Reg istration is from 1:00 until 2:30 P. M. Frequently there are more appli cants for examination that can be ac commodated. Therefore, in order that those who live at a distance may be sure of an examination and thus not make a trip in vain, priorities will be sent on request, to all who live 20 miles or more from Elizabeth City. s4dress your requests to Cancer Cen- , tep*Clerk, Health Center, Elizabeth City, and indicate two dates on which you could come for examination. 1 «D» By IW Kitting A —m • Hie jack rabbit is a wonderful ani mal. There are people who can see wander only in that which is rare or lantastic. But surely this one, who has every hand against him must have what it takes to survive—not Pit takes love!

If he is a common animal, he possesses un common and uncanny equipment to endure, claims Donald Culross Peat tie, who is America’s most famous writer of natural history. So let’s examine this unusual equipment. First there is the jack’s jumping power. A black-tailed jack was seen by one zoologist to jump a 5% -foot “rabbitproof” fence not driven by fear, but in order to get at crops on the other side. The white tailed jack will cover 22 feet and four inches at a leap. They will bound on for miles, 15 feet at a bound, 200 hops a minute, says one naturalist. I once clocked one at 35 miles an hour. And those mulish ears! They’re bigger in proportion to his head than a donkey’s to its own poll. But he needs every inch of them. Twisting them this way and that, he uses those ears like so imany antennae for collecting out of the air sounds which you and I never hear. Perhaps we should stop and get the jack straight with our zoology. Strictly speaking, he is not a rabbit but a hare. (True rabbits are born blind and naked; the jack comes in a full suit of fur, with eyes wide open). However, in common parlance he is a rabbit and the name wounds only the feelings of a purist The jack rabbit is protectively col ored, too. In various parts of his vast range, he takes on different hues. But we haven’t come to his most wonder ful equipment: The ability to live without water. In the west, the des ert jack may live a whole rabbit span of existence .without tasting free ■water. Then there is his amazing nibbling capacity. It is no wonder that he is indicted by ranchers and farmers with a long list of charges. Some estimates have put the damage of these hares to range grasses as one third the total pasturage and browse. An acre of alfalfa may .be cut down in a few nights during years of rab bit abundance. Probably no shooting except quail shooting, when the quail'“bomb” ex plodes, requires such quick reaction, such split-second marksmanship, as when old Jack unexpectedly bounds out of a bush, and whirls away with antelope speed* And no other shoot ing of any kind of true game animal can be done with such a free con science. The sport is great, the flesh is fair eating, the farmer .benefits, and there are always more.
