nell, Mr. D. E. Medders, your'
County Agent, and Coleta B.
Loper (me). We enjoyed a deli
cious supper and fellowship. After
supper, Mr. Harry L. Brown,
spoke to us on the importance of
the Farm Bureau Organization to
everyone—not just to you farmers.
He believes that this nation’s agri
culture is the main reason for us
to still be at peace with Russia.
In 1862, American farmers pro
duced per farmer, enough food to
feed an average of four people and
himself — today he produces
enough food to feed 27 people
while Russia is now producing
what American farmers produced
in 1862.
On September 28 the Bryan
County Farm Bureaus met togeth

and How to Increase It.” They en

Bryan County
Reaches Goal in
Cancer Crusade
The Bryan County unit of the
American Cancer Society has
reached its goal of 1,095 for the
1962 Crusade. The fair share
quota was based on 18c per capita.
Mrs. N. L. Ham, Bryan County
chairman, who made the announce
ment said she is grateful to vol
unteer Crusaders who gave their
time and efforts to the campaign
as well as to those who contribut
ed so generously. Mrs. Ham is
also a director of the State Cancer
Board. She said that if one life,
filled with fear and pain, is bene
fitted, the efforts of Bryan coun
tians have not been in vain.
Mrs. Ham said that volunteer
workers will be glad to know that
1,100.000 men, women and chil
dren are now cured of cancer, and
that one-half of all new cancer
patients can now be cured as a
result of the enormous amount of
research made possible by contri
butions obtained by volunteer
workers from the public.
The chairman expressed appre
ciation to the 518 individuals, in
cluding 267 families, who filled
in the questionnaire cards as par
ticipants in the National Research
program. The Bth Danger Signal
against eaneer will possibly be de
termined and announced following
the tabulation of this study. Mrs.
Harn said she wanted to thank all
in Bryan County who participated,
whether a Crusader, contributor
or participant in the research pro
gram.
The financial report as released
by Mrs. Ham is as follows: busi
ness eoncers, $415; residential sec
tion, $495.37; memorials, $45.20;
colored contributors, $25.25; mak
ing a total of $980.82. The Fort
Stewart contribution of $114.18
brought the total to $1,095.
