An aura of hope pervades the American Cancer Society’s offices..l
No claims of miraculous cancer cures are being made—or even;
predicted. But, nonetheless, there is a distinct feeling the battle
against the dread disease is slowly and surely being won.
The reason for this hopeful feeling can be found in many areas.
Last year, for example, the President was informed that the number
of Americans alive and cured of cancer had grown to 1,500,000, a
hundred thousand higher than the year before. To be considered
cured of most types of cancer, a person must have been free from all
evidence of the disease for five years after treatment.
Discoveries of new drugs have helped in the fight against
leukemia, cancer of the blood-forming itssues. These new drugs,
together with more efficient utilization of earlier drugs, plus more
specific techniques have helped a number of leukemia patients live
beyond five years. This progress has convinced some scientists that
a cure for leukemia may be found sooner than for many other types
of cancer, ‘
Other life-saving factors, the Society notes, are the increasing
awareness by women of the value of the annual Pap test for uterine
cancer and the slow but steady recognition;-by the public of the
need for regular physical checkups.
These are but a few of the hopeful factors today which sur
round the whole subject of cancer. Yet, the battle has a long way
to go. Research must be intensified and carefully channeled, but
there's a glimmer of light in the horizon. And we recommend the
American Cancer Society’s 1969 theme: Help yourself with a check
up and others with a check.

Discovers Second ‘
Batch Os Bad Pecans
State Department of Agricul
ture inspectors have placed a
“withhold from sale” order on 222
pounds of pecahs found in a
highway tourist stop in southeast
Georgia, -
Commissioner of Agriculture
Tommy Irvin said he has asked
the Attorney General's office to
take appropriate legal action
against the owner of the place,
who was identified as Ernest W,
Youngblood of Rt. 1, Richmond
Hill, Ga.
Irvin ‘'said the pecans, which do
not meet standards of the Georgia
Food Act, were uncovered during
a routine check of No. 17 Pecan
Shop on U. S. Highway 17 in Lib
erty County.
Three weeks ago department in
spectors destroyed more than
4,000 pounds of poor quality pe
cans discovered at a tourist stop
e o~ rwr' ) B "mnt ) T e
on U. S. Highway 301 in Long!
County. ?
“I am going to do everything
I can to put a stop to the prac- |
tice of selling inferior pecans toé
tourists and other travelers in
Georgia,” Commissioner Irvin
said. j
What's Happening,
| ppening,
Down on the Farm
Fifty years ago Farm Bureau
was formed to become a nation
wide organization. Not all state
Farm DBureaus were formed at:
the time, some were formed ear-
Jier and some later. But the first
meeting to so perfect such an or
ganization was held in Chicago
November 12-14, 1919. Farm Bu
reau members thus will observe
their Golden Anniversary in this
year—l 969. |
There are many interesting
side-staries to the formation of
Farm Bureau. Its purpose was to
be just and fair, and farmers in
that day outlined its objectives.
In handwritten minutes of the
joint meeting of the Temporary.
Organization Committee ‘held
March 13, 1918 in the first state
Farm Bureau to vote for a feder
ation (Indiana) there developed
some friction. One of the leaders
present stated he had to leave
early but he desired to ‘“bring
about a reconciliation before go
ing.” He requested that the two
who wt?o at, ofids to shake hands,
which they did. He then asked
that all present rise while he in
voked the blessing and the guid
ance of the Almighty.
Through these fifty years, Farm
Bureau has rather remarkably?
recognized the need for reconcil-§
ing our differences and asking for
guidance from God as was done !
in this early meeting. ‘
| So it has been for fifty years, i
| perhaps typical of the nearness to'
[nature and God of farm people. |
1 Down through the years and even |
today, whether it be a local!
meeting, a state convention or al
| national convention, or a meeting;
{of the State Farm Bureau Board, |
|the meeting is begun only after
|invoking or asking for the bless- |
|ing and guidance of the Almighty. |
|Next week some parallels of hu- |
| man events. {

|Pesticide Containers
The use of large quantities of
chemicals to control weeds, in
‘{sects and diseases in farm crops
|has created another problem . .
What to do with the empty con
tainers?
1 If the containers are left lying
laround, they create an unsightly
|mess. They also become a danger
tIQQ children, pets, livestock and
| wildlife. |
One solution to this problem is
to dispose of the empty contain
ers in a’ systematic manner. The
empty containers should be dis
posed of immediately. Metal and,
glass ‘containers should bej
crushed or broken and buriedi
when possible. :

Where you bury these contain
ers needs some thought. They
flshould be covered at least 18]
linches deep. They should not be|
buried where drainage will get|
linto water supplies. The addition’
tof lye or some other material
would help to rust away thei
Imetal and break down residual
‘|chemicals. ‘
| Paper containers could be|
' burned, but the fumes and smoke |
‘lshould be avoided. Gases releasedi
f’by the heat could be extremely
