WAIT FOR THE
BLOSSOMS
Don’t leave before the poach
blossoms and the dogwood ap
pear. The most beautiful time
of year in the Mid-South is at
hand. Unfortunately, many visi
tors start their trek north right
after Easter. Easter this year
was unusually early, so we feel
called upon to make this time
ly suggestion: Stay on. and be
rewarded by the colorful glor
ies of Springtime in the Sand
hills.
THE KEY TO
CANCER CONTROL
The cancer story has been a
long and tragic one, as long^ as
history, as tragic as death. NoW|
comes the Women’s Field Army
of the American Society for thej
Control of Cancer with its deter
mination to save lives.
The keys to cancer control—
the essential message of this ed
ucation grouj)—are brief:
Key 1. Ha\;e a comprehen
sive physical examination, once
a year, an examination that in
women includes those sites pe
culiar to them where cancer so
often develops.
Key 2. Ke alert for the ap
pearance of the cancer danger
signals, usually jiainless symp-l
toms that may mean cancer and'
should always mean a visit to ai
IthysiciaiW The tlanger signails
are* any jiersistent lump or
thickening, particularly in the
breast: any iiregular bleeding or,
discharge from any body open
ing; any persistent and unex
plained indigestion: and sore;
that does not heal normally, es
pecially about the tongue, mouth
or lips; any sudiien change in the
form or rate of growth of a
mole or wart.
Key .3. Enroll in the Women’s
Army and help spread its educa
tional message to the millions
who need it.
The antiilote for this disease
with its long and tragic tale is
short and simple. If the.^e key.'
are applied conscientiously by
all who read them, tlic cancer
story wil have a happy ending
for many thousand?.

RACE FORECAST
A recent study by the Amer
ican Institute of Public Opinion
indicates that the 1940 Presi
dential elections will be a much
closer affair than those of 1932
and 1936. Dr. George Gallup, di
rector of the institute, says of
the 60,000,000 eligible voters
25.000.000 consider themselves
Democrats and approximately
23.000.000 consider themselves
Republicans- Independent voters
will number around 11,500,000
and on them the spotligfit will be
turned.
In 1936 more Uian 70 per cent
of the independents were for
President Roosevelt. Today, in
stitute studies show a close di
vision in sympathy between the
two parties on the part of the
independents. A little less than
one-third fa\r>r a Democratic
\'ictor>', according to Dr Gallup
in May issue of Cosmopolitan
Magazine, and approximately the
same number are on the Repub
lican side. A small majority of
the independents with opinions
are opposed to a Roosevelt
third term at this time.
Dr. Gallup points out the'
slightly ridiculous angle of con-^
troversy over reciprocal trade!
treaties which will be thunder
ed from ever\- side- Ridiculous
because the institute study re
vealed the fact that the recipro-;
cal trade issue is beyond the:
immediate interest and under
standing: of 90 per cent of the
nation’s voters. Another issue
Proper trimming of trees located
near electric utility wiles is abso
lutely necessary to provide contin
uous ser\'ice to customers and to
prevent injury to the public from
falling: wires, R. L. Chandler_ mana
ger in this district for the Carolina
Power and Light Company, said yes
terday.
It is necessary for a public util
ity company such as ours to trim
trees along company lines to prevent
contact of branches with their wires,
and to prevent overhanging limbs
and dead branches from falling over
the line." said Mr. Chandler. Branches
coming in contact with the line cause
interr\iption of electric service and
it is of record that a single limb
falling acro.ss a line can stop ser
vice to several towns, he added,
"Trot's are not trimmed primar
ily to protx’t our wires," Mr. Chan
dler added, "but our company en.
gages trained tree surgeons to do this'
work so we can provide continuous'
service and also protect the general
public from falling wir?s.”
which both sides will make much
of is the Wagner Labor Act
which again is not a burning
problem to many of the voters.
While more people understand
its significance to a greater de
gree than that of the recipro
cal treaties, researches show^
that over half the voters haven’t
given the act much thought.
The article goes on to say that
government spending is some
thing on which nearly all voters
have positive views- Reduction
appeals to most of the people
but the opinions on how such re
duction in spending is to be
brought about differ Relief,
public works and farm benefits
can all be reduced, according to
the voters, but a rise in defense
sjwnding seems to meet with
general approval.
An overwhelming interest is
evidenced everywhere on the
question of America entering
the war. Members of both par
ties agree that we should keep
out, which is not surprising
However, the almost total ab
sence of dissension over the tac
tics of the Administration in
foreign politics is more or less
unusual. Dr. Galup says:
“In one especially interesting
survey the institute found that
about one person in every three
has at least thought r.bout the
problem (peace) and has .some
suggestion to offer. About 8,-
000,000 voters, judging by the
survey, are considering some in
ternational organization, such
as a ‘L'nited States of Europe,’
a ‘union of democracies,’ a
‘world union,’ as proposed by
Clarence Streit in ‘Union Now,’
or even a revived League of Na
tions-”

Prize-winning North Carolina beef,
laised by 4-H Club boys will be sold
heie this week-end and given the eat
ing test by Southern Pines people, ac
cording to W. P. Moore, manager of
the local store of the Pender Griicery
Company.
Hilton and Milton Carlton, 12-
yea r-okl twin sons of T. C. Carlton
of Pine Top. in Edgecombe county,
cooperated in raising this calf, an
fight-month.old Hereford weighting
fi-10 pound;-. Thi.'^ baby beef, which
won third prize in the lightwtight di
vision at the Eastern Carolina Fat
Stock Show, was bought by H. L.
Gregoiy for the Pender company,
«lon,g with 13 others cxhibitDd by -1-
H Club boys of the Eastern part of
the state.
This b-’ef will be on display at the
local Pender store before it is put on
s-ale and Mr. Moore invites the gen
eral public to inspect it and sec
what quality meat may be produced
in this state. Manq who are inter
ested in greater agricultural develop
ment here, especially along diversifi
cation lines, are expected to t.Tke the
oppoitvinity to learn what a 4-H Club
boy has accomplished.
The president of the Pender com
pany, Hunter C. Phelan, is keenly
interested in development of the
livestock industry in the territory
served by Pender stores and consid.
crs the part of 4-H Club boys as
outstanding in this respect.
"Beef such as we bought at the
Eastern Carolina Fat Stock Show
this year proves that as good cattle
can be raised in North Carolina as
an>-where in the country," Mr, Phelan
said. "I want to congratulate these
boys on their fine work and I am
happy our company can have a part
in encouraging such a constructive
program.”
The Pine Maskers of the Southern
Pines High School presented the JJ
