WILLIAMS Faison was originally settled in 1776 when Henry Faison made a clearing in the forest primeval under a patent to him of approx imately a thousand acres where the town of Faison stands to-day. In 1833 the Wilmington and Wei don Railroad came throngh at that 'time being the longest in the world. It established a sta tion pn the land cleared by Hen ry Faison, calling its station "Faison's Depot." As this was the most western point on the Wilmington and Weldon Rail road, the station attracted com merce for many miles from the West, particularly turpentine and other naval stores in an age when North Carolina earned the appellation 'The Tar Heel State." Mercantile establishments sprang up about the Station and in 1883 the locality was incorporated as the Town of Faison. Today Faison boasts the se cond largest market for vegeta bles in the United States. In the Month of July ones attention is arrested by the long lines of ve hicles loaded with fresh food for the tables of the great cities of the Northeastern quarter of the United States.

May 11th. W. E. Craft and Frand Steed are chairmen of the Kenansvilln and Warsaw project in their res pective communities. The visit of the "Atoms for Peace" unit to this area is spon sored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. They state that the free exhibit was to be made avai -table in Kenansville and Warsaw by the--Jayeees as a public ser vice. It is touring the State under the soonsorshto of the State Jay H. cees and the local organisation. The exhibit, housed m a walk through bus - type vehicle, con tains panels and models explain ing the basic principles of ato mic energy and its uses. Applies -tions of this new science are il lustrated in the peacetime field of medicine, power production, industry, agriculture, and re search. There are many ways in whicb radioactive materials and radia tion are used in the field of me dicine to aid the physician and his patient. Because radioactive sub stances can be readily detected with instruments like the gieger counter and yet react normally ii the body, they serve as valuable tools in diagnosis. One of the growing uses in thit medical field is the treatment o cancerous tissue by therapy ma chines emitting beams of intense radiation that destroy diseased cells. These machines, containing radioactive sources such as cobalt or cesium, are helpful in destroy ing tissue too deeply imbedded or too risky to remove by sur gery. For example, many glands and organs show affinity for certain elements and compounds. When these elements are made radioac tive and injected into the body, they may localize in these areas Once localized, a radiation pic ture is provided to aid the phy sician to discover if diseased tis sue is present and to diagnose and treat the condition. Radioac-. tive Iodine, for example, tend. to concentrate in the thyrioc gland. Once introduced into the patient's body, it can be located with detection equipment.
