THE MAN FOR THE POST

In company with the other AZ states of the
country, North Carolina faces manv major
undertakings created by the unsettled condi,
tlons ABROAD and must devote its best effort
and most serious thinking to those tasks.
Never in the history of the nation has it been
more necessary to eliminate political and per-
sonal conduct. Even elections, which properly
absorb public attention in ordinary times, lose
significance in comparison with the problem
OF national defense.
1t is therefore fitting and proper that North
carolina dispose OF fractional controversies and
settle upon the nomination of the OUTSTANDING
candidate for the office of governor without
more ado. J. M. BRoUGHToN is that candidate
He should be the next governor of North
carolina, not only because he is the unuues.
toned choice Of an indisputable majority. but
because he stands for the things which will
give the people of North Carolina greatest on.
poftunlty and greatest advantage in the
troubled, anxious days ahead.
II there were no other reasons for his oloc.
ton, and there are many, it would be enough
that ne favors exemption of all foods for home
consumption from the sales tax. He has de.
clared that his studies of the sales tax COL
lect1ons, which showed a million surplus above
demands upon revenue from this source. have
convinced him that all food stuffs boupht for
the family table can be eliminated from the
tax lists without jeopardizing the financial 60
curity of the state.
His declaration on taxation is very clear
Says he: II have proposed this ntior
only on the basis of such a surplus. and have
not proposed and would not propose to tax
care OF any such exemption by reason of any
ne" or additional taxes. l believe that in.
oustry IN North Carolina is paying all of the
tax that it can stand and 1 am not in favor
OF increasing this burden
Furthermore, he declares his opposition tc

would react unfavorably against North Caro-

WILMINGTON's OPPORTUNITY

FACED by the tremendous problem OF making
4 America safe against possible invasion and
knowing that the people will have to pay the
costs OF defense, President ROOSEVELT vetoed
the current rivers and harbors bill on the
score that further development Of the nations
waterways is not essential at this time, that
the United States has all the harbors and chan
nels needed at present for water transport
and to employ any funds now for additional
similar facilities would be to handicap the
defense program.
There can be no legitimate quarrel with this
attitude of Mr.. ROOSEVELT, in its broad terms,
but it must be admitted that the defense prob
lem will have to seek solution far beyond the
immediate need for airplanes, new guns, mu-
nitions and airplanes, and that in the finding
Of this solution it will become necessary to
consider the value of the nations rivers in
meeting the navy's needs in emergency.
This indicates reconsideration OF rivers and
harbors will eventually be in order. When
that time comes, Wilmington will but do its
duty to the country and to itself if it places
its claims for harbor work before the admin
%istration at Washington, with especial empha-
sis placed on Wilmington's capability of af-
fording safe anchorage and supply sources
for special types of naval vessels.
Certain advantages Wilmington affords over
other southern Atlantic ports are notable. For
one, the Cape Fear river empties directly in
to the sea. There is no bay or sound at the
rivers mouth, such as exists at the harbor of
Mobile, for example, or of Norfolk or Charles
ton, which might be mined by an enemy. Its
entire length between the sea and Whining
ton is available for anchorage, with wide areas
screening its course landward. AS a hiding
place and base for submarines and for the
smaller surface craft commonly known as a
and carrying single torpedoes-and for de-
%stroyers, the Cape Fear river has no equal on
the south Atlantic coast.
And in view of the fact that this section
of the coast is nearest which Germany would
be prompt to seize should Great Britain fall,
1t is essential that adequate defense be pro-
ylded against attack from bases the fuehrerI
would be prompt to establish there. A strong
submarine and mosquito fleet would prove
an efficient agent in the defense of the south
ern shore in a crisis.
1t would be necessary, to raise the rivers
capacity to meet the need, to deepen the chan
mel to at least the So feet so urgently proposed
in the past. The government would not hest
tate to order this dredging, once it was con-

tense. Should the project be authorized. there

inns IS another phase of Wilmington's op-

1t offers an awakening leadership a chance
to prove it high to lead.

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

by LNNJAIN SAA4N 49, -
The American society in charge
of the campaign for Cancer Control
Month. which has been provided by
Congress for April of this year, has
called attention to three necessary
divisions of our activities in the
fight on this disease. In previous
articles this month I have stressed
the Importance of education of the
public as one of these methods of
attack. and of research in cancer
as another.
The third form of attack is the
application OF known methods of
treatment. If the educated public
will take advantage of these meth
DDS discovered by research in the
past. most cases can now be cured.
1t need be no longer the dread
disease which in popular estima-
ton it once was.
Group Study
AS our knowledge of cancer has
increased, it has become clear that
in many cases the most successful
handling of the patient comes only
after one or more conferences be-
tween surgeons, radiologists, path
ologists, %internists and other spe-
cialists.
The need of microscopic study of
tumor tissue and the growing fire.
quency of combined use of x-rays
and surgery, or for choosing wise
ly between them, form the main
reasons why such group activity is
an all-important development in
the fight against cancer
In it's early stages ANGER is usu-
ally confined to a small area. This
fact accounts for the success of
treatment at such stages.
Modern Approach
The modern approach to a small
suspicious area would be as fol-
lows:
1t might be a lump or an ulcera-
ton of the skin, or a rough spot on
the skin. If small, the surgeon can
remove it. He hands this piece of
tissue to his colleague, the patholo-
gist, who makes a section of it with
a razor-blade cutting machine CMl-
crotome), stains the thin tissue and
puts it under the microscope. This
man the pathologist - deter
mines what type of cancer tissue it
is; and whether the surgeon has
removed the entire growth. He
then consults the surgeon and the
X-ray man to determine whether in
the light of the nature of e
growth it should be submitted to
X-ray or possibly to further surg
cry. If it is on the skin, the speci-
alist on skin is called in; if in the
female organs, the g~ynecologist;
and their advice is taken on the
basis of their wide and special ex-
perience.
Follow-Up Work
Particularly important is that
some physician in the group should
undertake the folloW-up work. He
should examine the patient at least
once every three months for the
first year after the initial treat
ment, and once every six months
for five or six years. If any dan
gerous symptom arises and further
treatment may become necessary.
the original treatment is repeated,
at least in principle.
This teamwork or group-attack
is the key to the modern, success
full treatment.
