known NEGRO medical authorities
and lay NEGRO men and women
in all walks of life have indorsed
and will participate, together with
ether Americans, in the nation
wide about s12oOO,000 fight can
Ger fund drive, it was announced
this week by the American Cancer
Socitey. The $12,000,O00 goal was
listed as the minimum amount re-
CURED for launching an all-out
attack on cancer. The fund cam
paign launched theis week, will be
carried on throughout the month
of April in every state of the
nation, with all races participant
ing.
Terming cancer 'our number one
enemy and the respector of no
race or color, a spokesman for
the American Cancer Socitey stat
ed that, Cancer will kill 17,OOO,-
600 American, colored and white,
now living, unless we do some
thing about it,. 1t is absolutely
vital that we avert this massive
tragedy, he said. Figures released
by the American Cancer Society
show that cancer killed GOT 900
Americans between Pearl Harbor
and VI Days. More than twice
as many Americans as were killed
or listed missing in action in
Worlr War H. Cancer is killing
Americans at the rate of $4,000
every year, AIT every day, 20 every
hour or one every three minutes.
Contrary to central belief cancer
is no respector of race, color OF
ages 1t strikes colored and white
young and old alike
In answer to the question as
to how the money raised was to
be spent. It was stated that fourty
percent of the fnuds raised in the
nationwide drive will be spent
nationally on a great coordinating
program of research under guild
ance of the National Research
Council, the nations foremost sci
entific body, and for educational
and service programs to supple
ment those of the states
Sixty percent of the money col
lected in each state will be retain
edwithin that state for preventives
and education and to assist in pro-
viding more and better hospital
facilities, regardless of race or
collar, in order to save thousands
from death by cancer, such as
examination centers where one
may go to make sure he or she
is free ofcancer; modern X-ray
equipment and more radium; more
hospital provisions for cancer pat
tents, many of whom now cannot
be accommodated for long tern
treatment; education of the public
as to cancer'c danger signals ano
necessity of early diagnosis and
treatment, and more visiting nurse
service forcancer patients.

MRS. JOHN T. ALDERMAN.

AS we review the losses and gains
Of the year THAI has passed, we tJrn
with heartfelt devotion 10 the
memory of Mrs. John T Alderman,
who fell asleep May 3, 1945. She was
a woman Of extraordinary ab5lIty
and charm, who used her talents for
the service of her fellows and the
glory of her Master.
She was active in the civic and
cultural life of Henderson and years
;|,5o served as the first President Of
The State Federation of WOmen'S
Clubs. She promoted educational
programs in her community and
denomination, and found her place
in many positions Of leadership.
Chief of all, however, we fancy
was her devotion to her church and
Lord, whom she served htt5pily. For
a long term Of years she vas the
alert teacher cf the Shaw Phllathcas
oldest Philathea class in the South.
She called is members, her girls
She held responsible positions in the
missionary organization of the
church, and was the one woman to

occupied a position of note, serving

In her home-going after several
months Of frailty the FIRST Baptist
Church is the loser, as il thinks OF
the vacancy that cannot be filled by
her presence: but at the same time it
cherighes the rich gain she has
brought TO it through the years, and
thanks God for her beautiful talent

Grain
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, March II = R -
Grain futures displayed fairly stout
resistance to liquidation Monday
and pulled out with advances above

A weekend accumulation of buy.
ing orders, along with some short
covering, provided the power for q
short-lived upward squirt at the
start of trading, but pressure was
on most of the time thereafter
until shortly before the close.
Wheat finished only slightly
changed after setbacks of as much
as IL cent bushel which pulled
the July delivery temporarily down
from the ceiling price.
May rye, as usual, skipped
around over the broadest range,
finishing around two cents to the
good, after a midsession downturn
Tor losses of l 10 cents or more,
following word that the July de.
livery at Winnipeg had slumped
the scent daily limit.
Wheat closed 1-S cent higher to
1-8 lower than Saturdays finish.

The continued liquidation of
wheat was ascribed again to the
recent statement of Clinton P
Anderson, secretary of agriculture
that shipments of the grain to Et1.
rope after June l would be of little
benefit in relieving hunger there.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, March II. -P-
Heavy hedge selling against pur-
chases of government holdings
featured moderately active trading
in cotton futures Monday and led
to declines of IS to 70 cents a bale.
It was estimated that the Com.
modify Credit corp. sold a little
more than 100000 bales of cotton
against the recent trade bids for
it's offerings of $4,000 bales. The
market showed early strength on
mill and local buying influenced by
congressional opposition to govern
ment pricing policy.
Traders were principally interest.
ed in question of higher margin.
Members of the New York Cotton
Exchange circulated a petition to
the board declaring the present ex
change requirements are fully
ample and urging no further in
crease.
