"Despite the tremendous contri bution by cotton growers to tfcn war effort, all cottonseed products are scarce and needed in increasing- quan tities in 1946," A. L. Ward, educa ticnal director, said. "These wartime neods, plus tha long record of cotton as the most dependable cash crop tha Cotton Beit can grow, deserve special coosidem tion in many areas that still hare time to giant cotton."

Mrs. Hobgood, President of the local Woman's Club, with the assist ance of Mrs. W. M. Willis, President of the Farmville Literary Club, Mn. Frank Allen, President of the Farm ville Jimior Woman's, Club, and Mrs. Jesse Moye has practically complet ed plans for the intensive campaign to be carried forward in our town, beginning Tuesday, April 24th, and closing at the end of that week. The Boy Soottts hawe placed -snail col lection bakes sad poatots in the stares and, on Saturday, will distrib ute leaflets containing information regarding the fight, which we are making against the dreaded killer— cancer.

Mrs. Frank Clifton is Chairman of PoWidty., As alert rittsens in a world at war, Field army members are determined to carry the shocking facta about cancer to the public NOW. Cancer is usually regarded as & women's disease. Hist is becsnse cancer is the leading cause of death among American women today. Last year about 85,000 women were can cer victims. But in this same period, cancer, surpasseed only by heart di sease, killed an equal number of men —a total of 165,000 victims! Cancer kills 60 per cent more people every year than all contagious and infecti ous diseases combined, includiing- in fantile paralysis, tuberculosis, ty phoid fever, malaria, scarlet flavor, etc. Included on this long- casualty list of 1944*8 cancer victims were 1,000 children under 14 years of ag& Can cer in children is often more serious titan in adults because it frequently affects organs and tissues which are difficult to reach. One at the com monest types in adolescents is locat ed in the long' bones of the anna and lev, making the cancer difficult to observe until is has developed to a degree that is hard to cure. The appalling corollary to high in cidences of cancer in children is the fact that this disease kills more mo then of school children than any other. One out of e*hry Ave women whe die between the ages of SI and 65 is a cancer victim. And cancer claims almost as many of their fa thers in this age period. Hie break ing of bones, a major factor in juve nile delinquency, is often the inevita ble result. Perhaps you think it wont happen to ye»—but 17,000,000 Americans now living are going to die of cancer un less the present cancer death rate is someone jum love. . fe ! Because sooner or later cancer en ters one hone out of every two, on the average sad kills one pe*»on out pf^every eight tharetol And it en often unnoticed.
