Phone Officials Given Statistics 1945 statistics of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, the latest complete figures avaUahle, j were presented to telephone com pany officials recently to prove to! them that the Carteret coast and the surrounding area have a larger number of commercial fish i ing craft and bring in a higher- j flr.il ued co.ui*.rrcial catch than1 those of the Wilmington area. | The counties which would be | nerved by a radio telephone sta j tion on the Carteret coast, Craven, 1'amlico, Beaufort, Hyde, Dare, I and Carteret have 2,605 commer cial craft registered as compared with 578 in the Wilmington area' which embrace* Onslow, Pender, i Burnswick, and New Hanover counties. In 1945 the value of the com mercial catch in the Carteret area was four and a quarter million dollars as compared with $850,885 for the commercial catch in the Wilmington .area. Southern Bell officials who have the franchise for the marine ra dio telephone service in North Carolina said that they went ahead with plans to put a radio telephone station at Wilmington after making a survey of both areas. The consensus of members of .he Carteret Radiotelephone com mittee who heard this report was that it was "a -j. of a survey." Magazine Prints Facts on Cancer One of the best statements of fact* on cancer ever published in a popular magazine appears in the April 16 issue of Collier's, on the newsUands today, declared Mrs. George McNeill, county canccr drive publicity chairman. The article, entitled "101 An swers to Cancer," reprint* the al most complete text of a pamph let prepared by the American Can ?er society. Publication by Colller'g of the material was praised by the Society as a notable contribution to the 1949 April educational and fund-raising campaign in which the ACS is seeking 4 minimum of $14. 500,000 for research, education, and service. ' "This article contains the essen tials of the American Canccr So ciety's message," Mis. McNeill de clared. "I hope that every man and woman in the county7 reads this splendid summary of what we should know about cancer today. Those who read it will better un derstand why we need millions more to carry on our fight." The magazine explains in an in troduction t6 the article that "The questions have been collected by the Public Education Department of the American Cancer Society from family doctors, from discus sions that follow lectures on enn cer and showing* of cancer control films, and from queries made at American Cancer Society lnforma tion centers and health exhibits."

Port Terminal Channel, Taylor's Creek, Wallace Channel Approved (Speci.l to THE NEWS-TIMES) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7 ? All North Carolina waterway plana presented before the pro jects committee of the National Rivers and Harbors congress here this morning have been approved. This includes the Morehead City channel from Beaufort bar into Port Terminal, Taylor creek <-han nel, Beaufort, and the Wallace channel between Ocracoke inlet and the Inland waterway. Col. G. W. Gillette, vice-chair man of the National Rivers and Harbors congress and head of the North Carolina State Ports autho rity, declared, "all North Carolina projects will be expedited." Representing Carteret county at the congress are Robert G. Lowe and Robert Hicks, Morehead City, and W. H. Potter, Beaufort. All three testified this morning before the projects committee. H. H. Buckman, South Atlantic division vice chairman, presided. Until recently the National Riv ? ers and Harbors congress has de voted much of its attention to work in the Mississippi river val ley and its tributaries. Largely through the efforts, of Colonel Gillette attention has been divert ed to the east coast and especially to North Carolina. The Tar Heel state has one of the largest delegations at the con gress and Carteret's three repre sentatives comprise the largest ftom any section in the state. The National Rivers and Har bors congress is an advisory group. It has no legislative power but its decisions carry much weight in drafting of the rivers and harbors bill. Rotarians Hear Talk on Heart Beaufort Rotarians enjoyed a steak dinner Tuesday night at the Inlet inn and heard a talk on heart disease. All Rotary club members were present. Dr. N. Thomas Ennett used a chart to supplement his talk. He described the heart as a powerful muscle, pear shaped, weighing 10 12 ounces, about as big as a man's W and containing four chambers. A person of average size, the doctor remarked, has about a gal lon of blood and complete circula tion occurs about every twenty two .seconds. The normal pulse is about 72 beats per rpinute and in a person living to the age of 70 it is estimated that the heart beats something over two billion times. Heart disease is a leading cause of death, Dr. Ennett reported. The toll of heart disease has be come greater, largely because of the increasing span of life which allows more people to achieve old age and in turn makes them vul nerable to. degenerative diseases of the cardio-vascular system. Causes of heart disease, he said, were infections diseases, rheuma tic fever, syphilis,, hardening of the arteries. It is estimated that every third death in the United States is due to heart disease. In Ihe matter of treatment he had little to say. suggesting' that one's own physician should be consulted. He did, however, stress that in the case of persons who have heart disease, great damage to the heart is caused by rushing and hurrying. An optimistic outlook is necessary, he said, emphasizing that worry and fear have a most unfavorable influence on heart disease. He stated that not only physical strain should be avoided but men tal strain including all emotional upsets. Dr. Ennett concluded with a reassuring note, stating that where heart disease was discovered early, that if the patient would adjust his life in keepinr with th# doc tor's advice, most could lead a See ROTAR1AN paf? 7
