Cancer
Meeting
Planned
The Perquimans County
Chapter of the American
Cancer Society will meet
Monday, Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. in
the auditorium of the
Albemarle EMC Building,
located on U.S. 17, north of
Hertford.
Dr. Roy C. Haberkern,
pediatrician, will be guest
speaker at the meeting,
presenting information on
cancer in children.
Cancer is second only to
accidents as the cause of
death for children under 15
years of age. Childhood
cancer accounts for one out
of 28 deaths compared to
adult figures of one out of
six. However, since 1950,
death rates for all sites have
declined somewhat from
more than eight per 100,000
to 5.5 by 1973. This seems to
be partly a result of the
decreasing death rates for
leukemia, kidney cancer
and lymphomas. The actual
number of deaths has also
decreased during this
period.
Incidence has also
decreased slightly from 1947
to 1971. If present rates con
tinue, the number of new
cases per year will be about
6,500, deaths number about
3,000. The most common
forms of childhood cancer
are leukemia, brain and
central nervous system,
lymphomas, kidney and
bone. Cancer kills more
children between the ages of
3 and 14 than any other
disease. Leukemia accounts
for about one-half of these
deaths.
For all forms of cancer oc
curring in children under 15,
the five-year survival rate
age-adjusted for normal life
expectancy is 30 per cent.
For the 10 most frequent
forms, the range is as low as
- three per cent for some
' leukemias to a high of 98 per
cent for thyroid and 85 per
cent for eye tumors. In Com
prehensive Cancer Centers,
the five-year survival rate
rises to 50 per cent for
children with acute lym
phocytic leukemia; these
results reflect aggressive
treatment, more than 60 per
cent of leukemia cases
in children are acute
lymphocytic.
' The public, including in
terested parents, are invited
to attend the Monday night
meeting. Dr. Haberkern will
also discuss cancer symp
toms in children.

APPLE FOR THE TEACHER? George
Overman didn't have the proverbial apple
to bring his mathematics instructor,
Phyllis Byrum, so he substituted this gigan
tic cantaloupe which will easily take the
place of a dozen or so apples. The huge,
aromatic melon is the product of Over
man's garden and although it was not
weighed in, from the heft of it, it should
have scaled well over 10 pounds. Overman,
