About l,500,000Amerlcansare walking around today as visible proof that the war against can. cer Is btlnc woo, Mrs. Marlon Payne of The Perquimans Co, Unit of ACS announced today. "This figure," Mrs. Pagne said, "Is most encouraging to the American Cancer Society which has been striving to edu cate the public to the value of regular physical checkups." Pointing out that cancer often can be overcome through early diagnosis and prompt treatment, . Mrs. pagne stated that the figure of 1,500,000 ex-cancer patients had Increased over the most recent total by 100,000. With the emphasis of mis year's Oct. Cancer Crusade on efforts to get all Americans, men and women,toseethelrdoct ors for regular checkups during the year, Mrs. Payne indicated that the chances were excellent that the number of cancer-cured cases would rise again in the next few years. This year's Oct. Crusade slogan, is "Help your self with a checkup and others with a check." The American Cancer Society does not consider a cancer patient as cured until five years have elapsed without evidence of the disease -after treatment by his physician. Most of those cured have gone back into their Jobs or whatever it was they were doing when their cancer was dls covered. Quoting from an American Can.

Thirty Perquimans Extension Homemakers traveled to the An anal meeting. Mrs. C. T. Roger son of Route 2, Hertford was in stalled as the Corresponding Sec- , retary of the organisation. Mrs. Warner Madre of Route 1, Hert ford, Treasurer, presented the Annual Treasurers' Report. Mr. Maurice W.Horne .Special Assistant to Attorney General b Consumer Protection was the ' guest speaker at the event. He discussed the role of the Attorney Generals' committee in consum er protection and consumer com -petence In general. He mentioned . agencies and laws which protect be consumer m North Carolina. :f An example was the Truth Landing Law which assists the consumer so he will know how i much interest he has to pay ove 1 a period of time. He encouraged t the women to writs letters to the attorney Generals' office. He said "you can't get anything free". If 1 parson is well inform ed he is a better consumer, and a real benefit to the business com- cer society survey of the public's attitude towards regular physical checkups, Mrs. Payne said it was discovered that three times as many women go for checkups as against men who check their health. This is quite possibly why," he continued, "that each year more men than women suc cumb to the disease. And that's also why the Cancer Society is going all out this year to spread the word on the urgency for check ups at least once a year," she pointed out. "Of the miUloMUd-a.nalf Americans cured of cancer, "she noted, "many reacted quickly once a cancer warning signal was flashed. And many a checkup has discovered trouble even be fore the warning signal became prominent." 1st Place Winners of PP&K Compete at Roanoke Rapids Boys eight through 13 years old from this area have been testing their punting, passing and place kicking skills this weekend (Oct. 1112) in the Ford dealership competition stage .of the local Punt, Pass and Kick program.

It's up to each indivi dual tq see that agriculture bene fits from the laws that go on to the books." Eure said, "Because farmers constitute a minority group, and are not sufficiently organized to speak with one voice, they are too often 'short-changed' in the mar ket place." 'Almost every segment of our economy is organised today and operates from this power struct ure, "said Eure, and the farm er also needs this strength which comes through organizations if he is to ex cape from the econo mic straight jacket' in which he is currently caught."

The Nickels for Know-How program has supported research and education in the NCSU School of Agriculture and Life Sciences since 1951 when It was first voted on by Tar Heel farmers. R. M. "Pete" Thompson, Per quimans County extension chair man, described the program as "one of the most unusual farm er self-help programs in Ameri can agricultural history." "North Carolina farmers have overwhelmingly approved this program every three years since it began 18 years ago," Thomp son said. "Since that time, they have contributed about $160,000 a year through the nickel assess ment on each ton of fertilizer and feed they buy." The Nickels for Know-How pro gram will be voted on again on Nov. 25. This year, the vote will be on reapproval for a six-year period. ' Thompson described the nick- els that farmers contribute asi actually worth far more than five cents. "Often, thf money is used to get a badly needed research project started. Later on, other funds may come available that will free the Nickels for Know How money for other projects," he explained. Farmers in Perquimans Coun ty have received many benefits from research programs at NCSU that were supported by Nickels or Know-How. This research has covered such things as to bacco, forage crops, cotton, poul try, peanuts, hogs, beef cattle, vegetable crops, corn, soybeans and virtually every farm com modity produced commercially in North Carolina.
