. The first fall clinio of the North-
. eastern North Carolina Cancer Detec
tion Center was held Friday. Septem
ber 8, at the Elizabeth City Health
Center.' Since ' its . opening October
21, 1949, the Northeastern North Car
oling Cancer Clinic has had a total of
667 examinees. Those examined came
from Chowan,' Hertford Currituck,
Dare, Tyrrell, Washington, Camden,
Perquimans, Gates and Pasquotank
counties. All examinations are free.
All women 35 or .over, !! men 40 or
over, and all with a symptom or a
"Danger Signal" of cancer regardless
of. age are eligible for the examina
tion. i:: : J '-- "
The Northeastern North Carolina
Cancer Clinic Center is the ninth such
center to be opened in North Caro
lina. It is staffed by members of the
local Medical Society and by women
of the community who volunteer to
serve as receptionists and as nurses';
aides. It is of interest to note that
of the first 6,000 North Carolinians
examined throughout the state ap
proximately 300 cancers were found,
many in the early stages, meaning that
they were curable.
The American Cancer Society has
as an objective the education of the
public to the point where action will
, bo taken when cancer symptoms mani
fest themselves. Cancer is known as
the most curable of all the highly fatal
diseases. However, the curability of
cancer varies with the site and the
"stage" of the disease and with the
promptness with which it is diagnosed
and treated. The slogan is "Early
Discovery Early Recovery."
Public support and interest has been
very good, according to Mrs. L. Ever
ett Sawyer, Commander of tne fas
ouotank County Chapter of the Ameri
can Cancer Society, who is confident
that residents of the city and sur
rounding counties will take advantage
of the free examinations made avail
able each Friday afternoon at the
Health Center.
'Priority appointments will be given
upon request to anyone living twenty
miles or more from Elizabeth City.
Those wishing to come for an exami
nation may address their requests to
the Northeastern North Carolina. Can

Center, Elizabeth City North Carolina,

be convenient for them to attend.

Witn one of the shortest cotton
crops in the State's history, Tar Heel
farmers should be very careful in har
vesting and selling their cotton (this
year,; believes David H. StanciL cot
ton marketing specialist for the State
College Extension Service.-' - ,
To bring ton prices, cotton should
be picked clean and picked only when
dry. It should be kept dry, and car
ried to the gin dry. J
Many fanners have- the idea that
gins equipped with driers can handle
cotton in any condition. This is not
true at all, says Standi The driers
do -y wonderful work within certain
limits, but if cotton is really wet it
often has to be nut through the drier
twice and then does not come out
completely dry.
This slows up ginning and costs
money, it also tempts the ginner to
run his heat up, which often causes
damage to the fiber of the cotton.
Farmers will make money every time
y keeping their cotton dry.

part of North Carolina has picked
some cotton so trashy that its value,
even alter going through a. modern
gin, was reduced 810 per bale. The
fine new gins which have been erect
ed m North Carolina almost perform
miracles m cleaning. However, says
btancil, even with all this equipment,
ginners cannot possibly turn out
sample as clean from dirty, trashy
cotton as- from , cotton brought to
them clean. V--'-"
At present high prices, a tanner
may easily lose $25 a bale by having
his cotton picked trashy. Closer su
pervision of pickers, with premiums
for clean picking, would pay in nearly
every cise. . ';. 1 .
"The cotton farmer with low yields
and high expenses still has a chance,"
says StanciL 1f he will see that the
cotton he has made is picked clean,
kept dry, ginned carefully, and then
sold on grade and staple, he may re
ceive more dollars from his cotton
than he thought"
