In addition to this slogan, the American Cancer Society has in stituted an accelerated program of public education called “Six for Sixties” announced Mrs. Virgil, Bender, president of the Jones County Unit. These six main public education target sites are emphas ized by the Society together with the annual health check-up and the seven danger signals. The Cancer Society’s annual Cru sade not only raises the funds for continuing the Society’s work but has another objective — to inform the public about cancer. Over two million volunteers, interested in cancer control and education give their time, energy, and special tal ents each April to help raise funds and tell the life-saving story about the value of early diagnosis. Tom H. Foscue of .Maysville is again campaign chairman for the Jones County Crusade^ He and his corps of volunteer worker* will call on every house in the county in air effort to acquaint their fyiepds and neighbors with the .life-saving in formation distributed by the Socie Hr*. Bender praised the work that Foscue and his workers did for Jones County in last year's cam arid asked that Jobes county . be ready to receive these ;oHpr homes. The in formation they will receive may save their lives. The fact that more than 1,000,000 Americans now living have been cured of cancer, Mrs. Bender said, is dramatic proof of the effective ness of the educational program of the American Cancer Society., Toby Heath Elected Clover 4JH Club President on Monday The Clover 4-H Club met Mon day night with Wilson Lowery pre siding.

Murray Whitaker’s office. The board also approved pay ment of a bill from Accountant Earl Franck for $3,101.86 for the 10-year audit of the clerk’s offide records which was made after the robbery. The audit covered the period from November 1, 1951, to December 14,. 1961. • The same thief that burglarized the clerk’s office also got a much smaller amount of private funds ($29) from the office of Register of Deeds Bill Barker, but missed something less than $!00 in coun ty funds that was in the same drawer of Parker’s desk. The exact loss in the burglary of Clerk Whitaker’s office is not known, since there is still some un certainty about the amount of cash and checks in a return that was made to the clerk by Justice of Peace James Simmons shortly before the robbery, and which was among the cash and checks stolen. The audit showed a total theft from Whitaker’s office of $9,031.34, plus the returns of Simmons which were just over $1,(XK). Of the $9, im 1.1 tkoro ... -w- <£1,107 OA and $5,533.68 in checks. Most of the checks were deposits made on land sales being held un der court supervision, payment of which was stopped.
