COUNTY AIDS in
AMER. SOCIETY
CANCER WORKS
Mrs. r. C. Dryden. And Mrs. C.
E. Duncan Named AS LO-
cal Chairmen

Worcester County in cooperation
with the American Society for the
Control of Cancer is bringing to the
attention of the public some facts con
corning the control of this dread di-
sease.
This Society was founded in 1913
by a group of laymen, research work
ers, physicians and representatives OF
medical societies to collect and dis
seminate knowledge concerning the
symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of cancer, to investigate
the conditions under which cancer is
found and compile statistics in regard
thereto. The Society was Incorporate
ed in 1922.
: According to information released
by them approximately 10000 men,
women, and children die Of cancer an
nually in America. This brings death
each day to 800 families in our coun-
try. -
Directly and indirectly the Society
has played vital role in the cam
paign against cancer. In literature
distributed by them they state cancer
is durable when adequately treated
in its early stages but is always fatal
when left untreated.
A drive is being made to control
this dread disease by early treatment.
It is not catching nor due to a germ
but it is reducable 80 to 80 per cent
as a cause Of death if the public and
physicians take advantage Of known
facts concerning its control.
The citizens Of Pocomoke are urg-
ed to do their part in bringing these
facts before the public and to stress
the fact that early is the Watchword
in Cancer Control" Mrs. r. G. Dry
den and Mrs. G. E. Duncan have been
named local chairmen and will be in
charge of table at the Flower Fes-
tival to be held in the Armory, this
city, today from 200 to 1000 p. M.
Those interested in the early control
of this disease are urged to contact
Mrs. Dryden or Mrs. Duncan and to
visit their table at the Flower Show.

Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Died Saturday
Continued from Page I

continued from Page
an active interest in Republican poll
tics. His work was recognized il
1898, when he was given the post
mastership Of Mount Airy.
He continued in that post through
successive Presidential administers
lions, being replaced finally in 1914
In Mount Airy he then built up wide
business interests. At various times
he had headed a drug firm there, he
had been senior member of a hard
ware firm, bank director and inter
ested in canning factory.
He also engaged in the automobile
business.
In 1900 he became a member Of the
Republican State Central Committee
for Carroll county. Eight years lat
er he was named it's chairman. He
had been chairman ever since, and
never missed meeting in thirty-five
years.
He had been a delegate to Repub-
lican National Conventions and a
Presidential elector.'
When Governor Nice ran in 1884
Mr.. Rudy, whom many in his Carroll
county called doctor" because of his
connections with the drug business
proved his title as G. o. P. leader OF
the county. >
Governor Nice then obtained the
unprecedented majority Of more than
$500 votes in the county. as@
The Rudy appointment to Commits
sioner Of Motor Vehicles followed.
He never held an elective office, al
though he once talked about entering
race for State Senator. He also was
the subject of a Gubernatorial boom
at one time. In 1928 he played a
prominent part in the move that end
ed in the displacing of Ovington E.
Weller as State G. o. P. leader.
In general, Mr.. Rudy's tenure in Of
lice as commissioner OF Motor We
hicles was a quiet one. There was
one much-publicized storm, however,
when it was charged that he had ap-
pointed his son, w. Dana Rudy, to
an important post in his office over
the heads Of persons who had been
there longer.
Mr.. Rudy was Of small stature,
quietspoken and healthy in appear
ance. He never looked his age.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Laura v. Rudy; the son; three broth
ers, William L. Rudy, of Atlantic
City, N. j.; Frank n. Rudy, Middle
town, Md, and Edgar c. Rudy, of
Mount Airy, and a sister, Miss Anna
K. Rudy, Of Frederick.
