Standard Printing Co. IxHIle, Ky. A0200 TEE PER .1 Volume-XXVI-44 mill It la most encouraging that over 200,000 Americans art being saved from cancer each Tear, there are, bowever, half as many Halo who will succumb to the disease because the did not rt to their doctor In time erf the American Cancer Society said today. : U I 1 " ' - JIUI .1,1 A Help yourself I with a 1 1 I Checkup and others I I ( witha I V !iLCheck -JSiiect some forms of cancer It ls reported mat 60 per cent of aQ cancers In women and 40 per cent all cancers in men de- elop in areas of the body that can be easuy examined And these most common forms of ' the disease usually can be treat-; ed effectively, If caught in time. By making a practice of aee ."' ing your dot or every year for a thorough health checkup no . matter how well you feel, you will be in a position to receive prompt treatment if cance should be discovered. A know ledge of cancer's seven warn- : lng signals, , coupled with regu lar checkups, should enable many people to be saved from cancer if it should appear. ; Despite the all-out attempts of the American Cancer society to educate the public to the value of regular physical checkups some 67 per cent of the population avoids this Simple health pre caution. Why, If a person's health - even life is at stake, do a majority of our citizens refrain fom these simple, life-saving checkups? B is suggested that an answer to this question would be to pout to a recent nationwide Cancer Society survey which re reeled that the key reason most people did nob go for checkups some 10 per cent did not goj because they Mhad no concern 4 over chancer." Around 8 per cent did not go because their doctor had not suggested tt. Bur prlsingty enough money, or the lack of it seemed to bother only 4 per cent, while 8 per cent claimed they had 'no time'. Another - 8 per cent confessed they were "afraid to go." The survey also revealed that in the group of those who wenti regularly for checkups, women) led the men by some 40 per cent to 13 per cent. The age group most Interested in thelrpersonal health were those between SO and 49 years old. College-education group topped the others as did those in the higher In Come brackets. .. The high value the Cancer Society places on these regular physical earns, can be noted id the slogan for its 1969 Canceri , Crusade . tprtt. This year the Society's message will be "Help yofcrseu with a checkup and others with ' a check." " General UsA Of ,WWSCS Nov. 3rd I The general meeting of the V Hertford W. S.

Since' the Restoration Associa tion wlU have no funds to work with uni'll they are able to conduct a membership drive, the Chamber presented them with a check for . $100 and told them that if more were needed, to make a request. The check was presented by Chamber President Bill Cox to Rev, Edwin Williams, chairman of the association. Not only did the Chamber sponsor the as sociation and get it going, but It wlU continue to support It financially If necessary and in any other way possible. If all con tinues as smoothly as things have been going thus far, the project should bear fruition In about a year. . Speaking of projects, getting people to vote FOR a tax Is a good-sized one. The Board In October, voted unanimously in favor of it. Our big problem is that too few people realised they had to re-register to be eligible to vote In November. With the help of a thousand flyers distributed by Jean Har rison, Chamber secretary and Frank Roberts, Chamber manager we got the message across to most Perquimans Countians. Roberts, along with Industrial Development Director Tom Brown also used a loudspeaker system mounted on Brown's car i lfr mininn iii.eejnrfa Hoton Edwards, extension horticulturist in Forsyth County is shown at tha right in the el. photo with a Forsyth County farmer, Inspecting winter squash.
