PAGE TWO Si—TO MU - - ■ Every time we publish a picture of a man standing in a boat, a lot of people write and indignantly denounce such a practice saying that you should never stand up in a boat. These sincere people overtook, a number of good reasons why there are occasions when standing in a boat is almost a necessity, Willard Cran dall, our boating editor says: ‘tStand ing in a boat is something to be uni versally condemned, as is rocking a boat. Even with canoes there are oc casions when it is not only safe but perfectly sensible to stand. Commer cial fishermen often stand up in their narrow dories to pull in nets, often in rough water. The dugout canoe of tjje Seminole Indian in Florida rolls more easily than a birch-bark canoe. And the birch-bark canoe is less steady than today’s factory-designed canoes. Still, the Seminoles stand and pole their dugouts.” I Here’s angling editor Jason 'Lucas’l opinion on the subject: “I’ve (been in I and around boats all my life and I’ve never heard of one nonintoxicated fisherman being drowned because of standing in a boat. Fact is, most ex perienced fishermen do, habitually or occasionally, stand in a boat. One may do it to stretch his legs or save turn ing the boart to cast behind him. There’s no particular reason why he shouldn’t stand—since he knows when it is safe to do so. If the boat is nar row and unstable, he probably won’t stand. But if the boat is wide in the beam and stable, a person of very moderate experience should be safe in standing in it.” Naturally, circumstances vary. On ly a foolish person would stand in an overloaded boat, for example. But, as the Outboard Boating Club of Ameri ca advises, there are even more im portant things to worry about—such as heeding weather signs and always stepping into a boat rather than jumping into it. “A good boatman piloting a good boat under good conditions could sel dom come into trouble by standing up in a boat,” says James G. Hildebrand, publicity director of the Outboard Boating Club. HEALTH FOR Mi I CANCER While we still have a great deal to learn about cancer, the outlook for de tecting and arresting the disease has brightened considerably in the past few years. Although we still do not know the exact cause of cancer, recent advances in medical research make possible earlier and more accurate di agnosis of the disease and improved methods of treating it. But one of the most significant gains made against cancer has been possible because the people -have had a more intelligent attitude toward the disease. Not long ago, because of fear, many people who suspected they had cancer kept away from the doctor. But today, -more and more people are coming to realize that cancer can 'be arrested when it is found and treated early and are checking with the doc tor at the first hint that anything is —^ FLOWERS I Choice of Freshly Cut Bouquets Carefully Ensembled Corsages o Deco-Right Potted Plants.

Cancer in a wild or weed-like growth of cells in some [part of Che body which, unless checked, grows or spreads until it causes death. At one time, cancer was almost invariably fatal because it was difficult to detect until the disease was far advanced. i But today there are ways of detecting , cancer early so that treatment can be started while the milgnanit growth is still confined to one area of the body. 'People who form the habit of get ting an annual physical examination are apt to discover cancer, if it should strike, in an early stage. This is one of many reasons why everyone should have a medical examination as a matter of routine at least once a year. Whether or not it is time for a year ly checkup, any symptom which might mean cancer calls for a prompt visit to the doctor. There is no pain in th early stages, when cancer cells firs begin to grow. But there are other warning signals of cancer which in elude: 1. A lump or thickening in any area of .the body, .particularly in the breast lip, or tongue. 12. Irregular or unexplained bleeding from any body opening, or signs of blood in the urine or Stools. S. A sore that does not heal, par- , ticularlly about the tongue, mouth, or lips. 4. A progressive change in the color or size of a mole, wart, or birthmark. 5. Persistent indigestion, especiall ■ in people over 40. 6. 'Constant change in normal bowel habits. ' 7. Chronic hoarseness, sore throat, 1 cr difficulty in swallowing. If any of .these symptoms appear ' the person should see his doctor with : out delay. The individual thus has : his best chance of catching the disease if it should be cancer, in a stage early ! enough for successful treatment. We know a man who believes in the ; complete economic emancipation of ■ women; he thinks that his wife has as : much right to support the family as . he has. |- PUBLISHED FIGURES SHOW: JL Camel is America’s pJUtI most popular x \J** Me *L cigarette by still wtLjMjljJl more | I Double Cola PRESENTS THE MEET THE KIDS KLUB SHOW AND BROADCAST Featuring SAMMY BLAND BOBBIE PRITCHARD CURLY Q.

County Agents Have Free Building Plans Farmers who want practical help with building problems can obtain free blueprints and other assistance' from county farm and home agents lof the State College Extension Ser vice. This is pointed out by H. M. Ellis, extension agricultural engineer, who says many Tar Heel citizens may not know about this service. Some 500 sets of plans for practi cally all types of farm buildings, in cluding dwellings, are available. Upon request, the agents will show actual construction drawings and assist the farmer in choosing the type of build ing best suited to his needs. Types of structures included in the list are buildings for poultry, swine, sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle, tobac co, grain and sweet potatoes. In the preparation of each type specialists in that field were called upon for help in tha-functional design. Agricultural engineers then prepared the drawings with the aim of making each building ' ■ a I Over $300.00 | Bottle Top | l Contest II as convenient, economical) and attrac tive as possible. The plans include blueprints for some 30 or more types of farm bom as. 1 All were prepared with the help of home, management specialists. Ellis says about 12,000 plans of all types were distributed last year. Per sons desiring copies of any of the drawings may obtain them from the local farm agent or home agent, whose offices are located in the county seat. Circular Published ...
