Cancer Campaign
Carteret county is going to have
a cancer drive this year. The chair
' man is Carl P. Southerland, of
Morehead City.
' "We know we're late getting
started, but we want Carteret coun
ty people to have a chance to con
tribute to the cancer control pro

j The county goal is $1,444.
Letters are going forward to
titizens of Morehead / City and
fleaufort requesting contributions
to be mailed to Mrs.' George East

Mor?>head City, who is the treasur

he hopes everyone in tMc county
will give. The campaign will end
July 28.
"An average of 25 persons a year
die of cancer in our county," Mr.
Southerland revealed. "Many of
(these deaths are needless. If cancer
is found early, it can be cured. The
program of the American Cancer
feociety is educating people to look
for the seven cancer danger signals,
ttnd to go to their doctors for per
iodic check-ups or whenever there
fere suspicious symptoms," he said.
The cancer control program in
North Carolina not only embraces
feducation of the public but educa
tion of the doctors as to latest de
velopments in diagnosis and treat
ment. A fourth of every dollar
given goes for research into causes
fend possible cures.

"? No offers of book donations have
been received as yet, reported Jim
my Wallace, chairman of the Finer
Carolina library improvement com
mittee, yesterday. Persons have
been requested to donate books to
the Webb Memorial civic center
library.
If they have books of recent pub
lication, they should call the cham
ber of commerce office, 6-3404,
give their name and address so that
the books may be picked up by
members of the committee Tues
day, "Big 5 Day."
The goal is 500 books. The com
mittee said it is somewhat discour
aged that the response to the re
quest for books has been absolute-'
ly nil. Wallace added, however,
it may be too early to expect peo
ple to have gleaned their book
shelves for possible contributions
and he hopes that calls will start
coming in to the chamber of com
merce office this weekend.
Persons who do not have books
may contribute money. The money
will be used to purchase books and
the donor wtfi be given tfee oppor
tunity to writ* in the front of the

Any type of fiction or non-fic

recent publication, will be accept
able. The Committee expects to
collect all the books Tuesday and
would like to have names and ad
dresses of donors oq hand before
that day.
Declared Chairman Wallace:
"Let's do our level best to make
Big 5 Day' a success!"

H. L. Joslyn, county super
intendent of schools, an
nounced today that Newport
school in Carteret county
will receive part of a $190
million dollar federal appro
priation for schools in areas
close to military bases. This
appropriation was approved
by Conjfress several days
Unfortunately, however, the su
perintendent added, the portion of
the jnoney Carteret will receive
will only partially meet needs and
will be limited to improvements at
Newport, eight additional class
rooms. t
In application for federal funds,
the county's needs were listed in
the following order: Newport, eight
new classrooms; Camp Glenn, five
new classrooms; Queen Street
school, five new classrooms; Beau
fort, new cafeteria and present
cafeteria converted into four class
rooms.
Dr. W. H, Coleman of the Lnited
States Office of Education, Wash
ington. I). C? conferred here with
Joslyn Wednesday. Dr. Coleman,
after reviewing the situation in the
county, told the superintendent
that the county's school needs as a
whole were insufficient to warrant
obtaining federal funds to handle
all the needed projects.
The appropriated moneys have to
| be used for the projects for which
the funds are designated, in the
order of needs listed on applica
tions to the government.
Due to Marine families living in
the western part of the county,
Newport's school population has in
creased faster than in any other
school. "But at the present time,
Camp (ilenn is as badly in need of
additional space as Newport," the
superintendent commented yester
day.
Joslyn will go to Raleigh Tues
day. July 29. to confer with state
officials and Dr. Coleman on school
matters.
