Cancer Death Rate Lower inLenoir - . . , £■ _ y . v... County Than in State and Nation me extern oi me cancer proD lem in Lenoir County, compared with what it is in other parts of the country, is brought out in a new government report. The data, compiled by the U. S. Public Health Service, shows that considerable progress is being made toward eventual con trol and eradication of the dis ease and that, as a result, many lives are now being saved. The air of optimism, based on recent developments, was echo ed at the recent International Cancer Congress in Tokyo, which was attended by 4,000 research ers from 60 countries. The toll remains high, how ever, exceeded only by the loss caused by heart disease. Among residents of Lenoir County, the cancer mortality rate is somewhat lower than in most section of the United States. Locally, there were 59 cancer deaths in the year ending Janu ary 1, 1965, according to the Re port. This does not include deaths Of non-residents in , the area. ■ It was equivalent to a rate of 96 cancer deaths per 100,000 population, as compared with . 148 per aOO.QO& throughout the' nation as a whole. In Hie State of 109, mg and lung cancer, relatively few people have given up the habit. Older people have cut back soihewhat but those in the younger age groups have in creased their consumption. The official figures show that lung cancer caused 17.0 percent of all cancer deaths in the Unit ed State and 18,0 percent in North Carolina. In Lenoir County, in the year, it was responsible for 10.2 per cent of them. An encouraging note in the war against cancer is sounded by Dr. Charles Huggins of the University of Chicago, who states: “The keys to control can cer appear close at hand. There’s a new stir of optimism among researchers. They even speak hopefully of vaccines and pills to prevent or cure human cancer,’11 LOANS Wh ;• H the pay thfflce< offer dember, Book 144, Of the County, having ment o _„__ by secured trust be of subjei dersigned trustee sale at public auction to' highest bidder for cash at the courthouse dOor in Jones Coun ty, North Carolina, at poon, pn the 30th day of December, 1? ‘ the property conveyed in i deed of trust the same lying and being in the County of Jones and State of North Carolina, in Pol locksville Township, and being more particularly described as follows; Situate in Poilecksville Town ship, Jones County, North Carolina.
