Ry I r THOMAS

Undoubtedly, the greatest assc
to candidate for reelection t.
public office is his record o
achievement in office in the inter
est of his constituents. This as
set is particularly marked in th'
candidacy of Congressman Zebu
Ion Weaver, who is seeking th'
Democratic nomination to succeed
himself in the June 6 primary
election. Of this record Johr
Garner, vice-president of the
United States, made the statement
that, in his opinion Zebulon Weav,
er had obtained more federal
benefits for his district than any
other congressman in the United
States.
Chief among the ACCOMPLISH
ments of benefit to Western North
Carolina, comprising the 18th
North Carolina congressional dis,
trict, which were obtained through
the aggressive efforts of Congress
man Weaver, are the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park; the
Appalachian Experiment Station
for the southeastern region, which
is located in the 18th congress
sional district, with headquarters
in Asheville; acquisition of forest
lands in the Pisgah and Nanta-
hala national forests; the Fowler
Bend dam, subsidiary of the
Tennessee Valley Authority. in
Cherokee county, and the Vetcr-
ans Administration hospital, stu
atei at Oteen.
MORE CCC CAMPS :
In addition to these great prof.
ects,. which have served to bene-
fit Western North Carolina, and
North Carolinians, Congressman
Weaver, through his experience
and influence in congress, has
succeeded in having a greater
number of Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) camps established
in the 18th North Carolina CON
gressional district than have been
in any other congress
sional district in the entire United
States. The establishment of these
many CCC camps has provided
healthful and engaging employ
ment for thousands of young men
in Western North Carolina and
financial aid to both themselves
and their parents. -
Congressman Weaver, through
his efforts, has procured federal
appropriations and ALLEGATIONS for
and improvements at the
Cherokee Indian Reservation He
has also succeeded in obtaining
appropriation of federal funds for
federal-aid roads in this section
resulting in increased employment
on these roads.
In the heated contest between
North Carolina and Tennessee for
favor in the location Of the Park
to-Park National highway, linking
the Great Smoky Mountains Ma
tional park with the Shenandoah
National park, Mr.. Weaver was,
in no small measure, instrumental
in the victory for the Old North
State.
In the vital matter of old-age
security, Congressman Weaver
took an active part in the passage
of the federal social security act
which when the North Carolina
state legislature passes the proper

KENT GRAPE GROWERS
FINISH SPRAY PROGRAM

[CoSfiHHeS from FirsI PG9e1
it is practically Of no use to spray
vineyards late in the season as far
as rot control IS concerned. The OBJ
Ject or the early sprays is to pro-
tect the new growth from becoming
infected with the black rot which is
/ carried over on the canes that have
been tied up for fruit production
this year.
In addition to spraying for rot
control, this five-spray program is
designed also to protect vineyards
from infestatiOns of grape berry
moths, leaf-folders, root worms and
rose bugs. which in some seasons
are very troublesome unless prop
erly checked by thorough and timely
spraying. Leaf-hoppers are another
insect pest which frequently attack
grape vineyards during the latter
part of July and In August. and
their prevalence varies with season ,
al conditions and the absence or
presence of parasites which hold I
these leaf-hoppers In check.
In seasons when these insects be-
come a serious menace to the grape
foliage a special leaf-hOpper spray +
is recommended. and growers will
be advised accordingly If this addi-
tional spray should be required this
summer.
The applications which are in
cluded In this five-spray program
consist Of the delayed dormant, clus-
ter break, pre-blossom, after bios
som, and the ten-day spray which
should be applied when the grapes {
are about the size of garden peas. !
Under normal weather conditions ]
his program should carry vine
lard through the season unless It J
las been heavily infected by carry J
lver Of black rot from the previous
ear.

CANCER CONTROL
GROUP ORGANIZED
Plans OF Attack On Dread Disease
Nearing Completion

To combat the growing menace of
cancer In Delaware, organization of
the Delaware State Branch of the
American Society for the Control Of
Cancer was largely completed re-
Gently at a meeting in the Whining
ton Office of the president, A. A.
Rydgren. With the addition of Mrs.
w. H. Beacon, who will act as liai-
son officer between the society and
various women's organizations
throughout the State, and DR.. T. H.
Davies, the roster of committee
members is considered virtually
completed, and preparations are go
ing forward for the preparation of
plans of attack.
Other ehairmen of important COM
mittees in the organization include
Harris Samonisky, of the News
Journal papers; DR.. D. H. Gay, path
OlOgist at the Wilmington HOmeO- /
pathic Hospital; DR.. w. H. Kraemer, |
active in cancer research in leading /
Wilmington and Philadelphia hospi- /
tails, and DR.. A. c. Jost, executive (
secretary of the State Board of /
Health.
According to statistics of the
State Board of Health, the Della
ware cancer death rate is anything
but favorable and is increasing
steadily. While this is true of the
United States as a whole, it is espe-
cially important to Delaware, where
there is a relatively high percent
age of the aged among the popula-
tion, due to the fact that the youth
full and middle-aged groups go to
other states to make their livings
and return to this State to retire.
State Health authorities have long
advocated that each person be given,
by his family physician, complete
periodic physical examinations, in
IN effort to discover any evidence Of {
disease before it is too late to sue !
apply treatment. The con-
inued annual increase in the num- I
yer Of cancer deaths may be largely |
attributable to tardiness in applying |
or treatment. they say.

zation meeting, Wednesday, includ
