Major Portion Of Cancer Fund Yet to Come In Although porch light solicitations for the canccr drive brought in a partial amount of the $1,000 county goal last night, the major portion of the amount needed is expected to come from persons who could not be reached personally, Clyde Jones, chairman of the campaign, commented today. Letters were mailed throughout the county Monday asking that the recipient of the letter make a con tribution, by check or in cash, l o the oancer fund. These donations should be mailed to Mrs. Robert Taylor, Morehead City, treasurer ior the Cvtoitf County Cancor unit. CJNHWt should be made out to "Caiteret County Cancer Fund." Jones points out that the donation is deductible from income tax. Last night persons who had con tributions for cancer burned their porch light and solicitors stopped by and picked up the money. Theme for the operation was "Burn the Light and BUrn Out Cancer." According to statistics released by the cancer society, 210.000 per sons died from cancer in this country last year. One woman in every eight who is past 40, dies of cancer. Money raised in the cancer cam paign will be used in education, treatment, and research.

Knnptt, county health officer. L. A. (Jack) Oakley, Beau fort, is in charge of solicitations. Demand Exceeds Lettace Supply Raleigh? (AP) ? Tar Heel let tuce growers are receiving more demands (or their crop this year than they are able to meet. This condition has prevailed since harvesting o( lettuce began about two weeks ago. according to George E. (Buck) Jones, market ing specialist with the sUMe depart ment of agriculture. Jones said one of the best rea sons for the increased demand is that growers have adopted a dif ferent marketing practice by prop erly grading and packing their let tuce in weatern style crates. "This type of package," Jones said, "is preferred by most of the produce trade and is the only one accepted by the North Carolina trade." t Jones said North Carolina grow ers were wise in shifting the pro duction of Boston lettuce to the iceberg variety? the type in great est demand, lie estimated that SO per cent of the spring lettuce crop in the state is of the iceberg type. QnMa Street High School Band Needs Two Burners The Queen Street ? high school band. Beaufort, needs flags ? the United States flag and the North Carojina flag.

Hospital Board Meets Tuesday / With Town Board Hospital Seeks More Money From County to Meet Wel fare Patient Cost The M ore head City hospital board of trustees met with the town board Tuesday night at the munic ipal building, M o re head City, to discuss the need for more funds to pay lor welfare patients at the hospital. The trustees told the town com missioners that ihe county welfare department allotment of $5* per day for a maximum of 10 days for each indigent patient is too little. They proposed that the town ask the county for more funds. $14 Daily Cost The cost of operating the hos pital. town fathers were told, is $14 per day per patient. It was pointed out that even with Medi cal Care commission and Duke En dowment aid the allotment for the county's welfare patients is insuf ficient. It is the town board and hospital board's opinion that Morehead City is absorbing the charity cost for the entire county "and we've been doing it for years," commented the mayor, George W. Dill. Two-thirds of the hospital patients, he said, come from outside Morehead City. ABC Revenue At present the town of Morehead City is turning over io the hospital the revenue from the liquor store, which in Newport and Beaufort goes into the towns' general funds. In presenting their case to the town board, the hospital trustees pointed out that a recent charity case ffcom Newport was in the hos pital one month. The maximum paid by the county for the patient, however, was It was Slate? that during the past fiscal year a lone only $400 was given the hos pital by the county to meet the cost of caring for the indigent. The hospital board requested that the town fathers help them estab lish a policy on the matter, but the town board stated that the hospital board is a separately-operating ent ity, elected by the people, and that they should establish their own policy.
