Humphlett and Jimmy Stallings
of Farm Bureau Insurance - to
give us 'insurance' the parade
will be a success, as suual.
Now another episode in the
continuing series of messages
from your Chamber designed to
prevent someone from making
a sucker of you. And if it does
happen, don't say the C of C
didn't warn you.
The messages are capsules of
information emanating from
the Consumer Protection
Division of the State Attorney
General's office. They got
money back for a family whose
son enrolled in a railroad
training school. Seems the
salesman said one thing, the
small print on the contract,
another.
Some phony weight reducing
salons were checked. Main
complaint: offering a special
low-cost plan, then telling
customers more extensive
programs were needed. Seems
they were trying to thin out the
pocketbook and the customer.
If you get a 'dear friend' letter
from the Marco Co. of Chicago
(they have mailed many to
North Carolina) forget it. They
want you to you to sell chances
to win some luggage. That's a
lottery, and that's like a sick
bird: ill eagle!
And if you're buying a used
car, watch out for water
damaged vehicles that came
down from the flooded states.
Seems they're flooding the
market. Moral: buy your car in
the County from Hollowell,
Winslow-Blanchard or Towe.

Volunteers Needed For
Perq. Cancer Crusade
"People really believe health
is beautiful and that's why we
urgently need volunteers for the
American Cancer Society's 1972
educational and fund raising
Crusade said Mrs. Warner
Madre, one of the Perquimans
County chairmen.
"We believe that people-to-people
contact, folks alerting
their relatives, neighbors and
friends to cancer's warning
signals and helping to raise
fighting funds is part of the
combination that will in
creasingly turn the tide against
these dread diseases called
cancer," declared Mrs. Madre.
"The other part is the
dedication and skill of
thousands of physicians and
researchers searching for
causes and better treatments.
"Those who give their time
and talent this year will join
hands with the more than 2
million other volunteers in
thousands of American com
munities whose dedication has
already helped save increasing
numbers of lives," said Mrs.
Madre.
There is an even greater
challenge this year, for we must
reach out to people never
contacted before. Every house,
every ' apartment in
Perquimans County must be
visited in Crusade 1972.
beginning October 1. Every one
with even a few hours to spare
can help. Families must get the
facts about cancer. One key
part of the Crusade, is
distributing life-saving leaflets
telling how you can protect
yourself against cancer.
"Many cancer deaths are
needless since the chances of a
cure are good with early
diagnosis," Mrs. Madre said.
She pointed out that more than
1.500.000 Americans are alive
