They were: the atomic bomb, radar, penicillin, DDT, the prox imity fuse and submarine detec tion devices. "In the war of the future the decision may go well to that nation whose research, development and industrial efforts produce new and better offensive weapons as well as counter-measures against the of fensive weapons of enemies," the Army said. Importance Increased "Should the United States ever be forced to fight another world war, it is certain that the scientist will play an even more important role than in World War II." The Army said the United States now faces the task of maintaining its enviable position in research against the challenge of other pow ers. It warned that the task is not only a military responsibility but a "national responsibility." "An adequate program of re search and development in time of peace must be the joint effect of our educational institutions, our industry and our government," the Army said. It said thp Drimarv need is in basic research. That formerly has been done mostly in France, Ger many, Italy, Denmark and Eng land. War-time dislocations and destruction have cut their capacity, the Army reported. Shortage Deplored The Army deplored a shortage of scientists, estimated at 90,000 bachelors and 5,000 doctors ot sc i ence. It said 15.000 additional sci ence doctors are needed. The Army contended that the government, individuals and in dustry must provide more oppor tunities for scientists to work. The armed forces' 1947 appropri ation for research and development amounts to four-filths of the total spent by the government exclusive of atomic energy, the Army esti mated. The Army listed key research programs as improved aircraft, long and short range guided mis siles, anti-submarine devices, im proved aircraft carriers, better radar and radio, and new drugs to fight disease. Meat from most sharks can be used for human food. Despite the advance of mechan ization, more than 80 per cent of the world's food supply is still produced by animal or human labor.

Hay wood county commander of the American Cancer Society. An estimated 10,300 men, wo men and children in North Caro lina are suffering from the disease, of which approximately 84 are in Haywood county. Her statement was based on a comprehensive na tional survey of the number of can cer deaths and the number of new cancer cases that are being dis covered each year. The survey shows that there are more than four cancer victims alive in various stages of the disease for each death that cancer causes. "About one out of four of the victims will die within 12 months," Mrs. Smith said. "A second will die within two years, a third within two years, a thud within three years and a fourth within lour years. "Only a small percentage of those who develop cancer are be ing saved in spite of the fact that 30 to 50 per ct nt could be saved through early treatment with X ray, radium or surgery. They are lost because they wait until too late lor medical treatment. To save as many as possible of the 30 to 50 per cent is one of the main objectives of the American Cancer Society. And the first step toward this objective is to arm peo ple with knowledge of the early symptoms of cancer and to have them obtain medical treatment without delay." Between 800 and 1,200 of t In- more than 2,500 deaths that can cer caused in North Carolina last year, Mrs. Smith said, were "need less deaths" that probably could have been prevented if victims had obtained adequate treatment early enough. Ucginning April 1 a drive for funds to support the work of the American Cancer Society will he staged in Haywood county, for which the assigned goal is $2,000. Mrs. Smith, who is head of the county-wide drive, states that all who wish to aid in the fight against cancer can do so by contribut in; their funds in support of the So ciety. W. W.
