Their early re search revealed that if found early, lesions of the cervi* and uterus could be removed to at least temporarily halt its progression and increase the life spans of victims. However, it was not until 1942 that the importance of the society was seen and lay persons as well as proses sionals began to take a real interest. Changes in the func tion of the ACS from then to now has been largely due to the services of volunteers. He stated that one of the most important steps in cancer re search was made with the de velopment of the Pap smear test. North Carolina, he remark ed, has the highest incident rate of skin cancer in the United States because it re ceives a great deal of sun- THE CHOWAN HERALD I shine and the people arc de scendants of the fair-skinned and blond-haired people of Northern Europe and Eng land. Carelessness and over exposure in sunbathing is the primary cause of skin cancer, and the effects of overdos ages of the sun may not show up until much later in life ’ when a sore appears and re fuses to heaL “Cancer of the colon is the • most prevalent because it in ■ volves both males and fe males whereas cancer of the breast or uterus is confined to women with a man occasion ally having breast cancer, and cancer of the lung is mostly confined to men,” he said. The least is known about cancer of the colon and it is the hardest to detect. It was first noted by the number of cases involving workers in watch factories which painted luminous dials with radioac tive paint. Workers licked the brush tips to moisten them as they painted. It seems, according to the information he has studied, that breast cancer is most highly noted in the more de veloped countries of the i world such as the U. S. and . Europe, and noted less in the | African and South American [ countries. He also stated that to his knowledge, there has I never been an incident of cancer of the breast in an Es kimo woman. It seems to be I related to nursing habits. All of the points were re lated 'to the American Cancer Society and its responsibility in research and in the ■home. He urged more publicity, par ticularly in the schools. He was pleased to say that this subject is being brought out into the open more each day, and this alone contributes heavily in saving lives. How ever, he regretted that an ab solute cure for this disease is not foreseen for the near fu ture. Woody Copeland, chairman of the Chowan County Cancer Crusade, reported that the crusade will be ready to go in October. The first week will be primarily private can vass the second week, busi ness canvas, and the fourth week, home canvas, he stated. The fourth week will be plan ned according to the intake as of the end of the third week's activities. The proposed goal is $3,500. Mrs. Marion Thrower, presi dent of the Chowan Cancer Society, said that receipts last year totaled $4,058, the largest in the history of the Chowan society. She further stated t hat the surpluses which accumulate are very important to the' community. The Bird Mark VII Respira tor recently donated to Cho wan Hospital was made pos sible by the surplus money from the crusade last year. Like Father, Like Son Good or bad driving runs in families.
