SPOTLIGHT FOR
ENTIRE COUNTY
(Continued from page one)
stands of lespedeza were secured,
and as a result the production fell
below normal.
Farm folks generally and many
residents of the towns deserve
credit for the fine gardens they
are growing this year. It is no
exaggeration to say that the
Brunswick county gardens are
peihaps better than they have
ever before been known to be in
early April. A trip into any
section of the county will quick
ly reveal the fact that there will
be plenty of fresh vegetables for
the tables this spring and sum
mer.

Read Literature Carefully
"Therefore, every citizen receiv
ing a piece of printed campaign
literature, whether he intends to
give a small gift, a large gift or
no gift at all, should read the
literature carefully never-the-less,
for it does contain the danger]
signals of cancer."
He reminded that anyone who
desires to give, but is not con- j
I '.acted by a solicitor, may mail I
his donation to the local campaign |
headquarters or to the American
Cancer Society, 350 Fifth, Avenue,
New York 1, N. Y.
"Or more simply," he said,
' any one can put his gift ? cash
check or money order ? in an en
velope, mark it 'CANCER,' affix
the proper postage and drop it in
the nearest mail box."
Death Rate Increasing
"I cannot emphasize too strong
ly the seriousness of the fight on
cancer," Chairman Tucker stated
"The death rate is increasing.
There will be 22% more deaths
this year than in 1936 and in 1956
there will be an even larger in
crease in the number of cancer
deaths ? unless we act now to
curb this dreaded disease. We
must have funds by which to aid
those now suffering from cancer
and to spread the message that
if detected in time 50% of all
