partidpating in the annual'
four-day program which began
Monday on the North Carolina
State University campus.
The program consists of

fellowship.
"North Carolina 4-H
Congress offers an excellent
opportunity for personal
growth and development,"
comments Lyman B. Dixon,
acting state 4-H leader. "It is
an event that club members
look forward to each year with
great anticipation," he added.
During the week state
winners are determined in
some 30 demonstration
programs and various judging
activities.

Cherokee County 4-H'ers will
be competing on the state level
as district winners in
demonstrations. These are
Linda Pope in sewing and
Carlton Van Horn in electric
demonstration.
Members of the Cherokee
County delegation attending in
addition to these two are
Debon Radford and Paul
Thompson.
Leading the delegation is
Mrs. Pat Davis, Assistant Home
Economics Extension Agent.
Smoking Beagles
Get Lung Cancer
Mice and guinea pigs don't
take to smoking. But dogs can
be trained to inhale through
implanted tubes.
Being man's best friend has
its liabilities.
Of 97 beagles trained to
inhale in a recent smoking
experiment, 79 percent of the
heavy smokers (seven cigarettes
a day) developed lung cancer.
And virtually all the heavy
smokers showed signs of
emphysema.
The link between smoking
and lung cancer has been
indicated clearly for years by
statistical evidence. Similarly,
the association between
smoking and emphysema has
been suggested for some time.
The beagle experiment
indicates a direct causal
connection.
People choose to smoke
voluntarily. Dogs do not. But
people- more and more of
them - can also choose to stop.
The beagles did not have this
choice.
Kicking the habit is getting
to be a favorite American
pastime. 21 million people in
this country have quit
smoking. And it looks as if
over a million more will kick
the habit this year.
Christmas Seal associations
across the country are waging a
Kick The Habit campaign this
summer. If you still smoke, ask
them for two leaflets, ME
QUIT SMOKING, WHY? and
ME QUIT SMOKING, HOW?
They will also have
information about withdrawal
programs and other
anti-smoking acitiviies.
The campaign in the 19
Western North Carolina
countries is being waged by the
WNC Tuberculosis &
Respiratory Disease
Association of Black Mountain.
Mrs. Cloe Moore of Murphy, is
a director of the association.
