HAIL RATES GO UP 250.000

Hail insurance will cost the
States tobacco farmers an extra
$3.50, 900 this year.
That was the word yesterday
from Insurance Commissioner
Waldo Cheek, whose newest ord
er will mean higher tobacco hail
rates in IS counties, lowered
rates in II other counties.
Based on premiums written in
1851, the changes will average
out to an increase of about $780,
900 annually said Cheek.
Commissioner Cheek also an.
nounced approval of decreases in
hail rates for grain, grass. cereal
crops, hay cover crops, pecans:
peanuts, root crops, soybeans, n.y.
brid corn, sweet corn and pep
corn. But he said the effect of the
changes will be negligible since
only a small amount of insurance
is written on these crops in
North Carolina.
Cheeks tobacco order will in
crease hail rates in these coun
ties: Beaufort, Bladen, Column
bus, Forsyth, Edgecombe, Frank
lin, Granville, Durham, Hartford
Caswell, Lenoir. Nash, North
ampton, Richmond, Rockingham
Wake, Washington and Wilkes.
Decreases were ordered fol
these counties: Chowan, Cumber
land, Guilford, Hoke, Jones, Lee
Orange, Person, Robson. War
rem and Yadkin.
Hail rates are made on a coun
ty-by-county basis. In most in
stances, the changes raise or low
er rates by from rs cents to 81
per 500.

crippled him. The dead hunter left
awife and three youngsters. Baker
H. Hagestad, who bagged the two
hunters, was sure he'd drawn a
bead on a small herd of elk.
In the hunting death of Richard
E. Hobstetter, "a, Michigan State
Police explained that a'l4-year- a
old youth fired at a deer that ran
between him and Hobstetter with
out thinking of the danger to his
victim. His bullet struck Hob
stetter IN the temple, killing him
instantly.
Senseless as incidents like these
seem, a survey of 1876 gunshot
deaths and injuries compiled by
the National Rifle Association
shows that 60 per cent of the vic
tins were killed or wounded acci-
dentally by excited shooters who
were firing at game, or thought
they were.
Wine Of Fire"
In STUDYING mistaken identity"
and "line-of-fire" shootings in his
own state, Montana Game
Warden Bob Lambeth finds no
way you can differentiate the
casualty-causing hunter from
others. Almost invariably the vic
tins are wearing red as required
by law. The shooters have normal
vision, and are folks who'd be
credited with normally sound
judgment.
Under the pressures and excite
ment of hunting, they become
overeager for the kill, forget safe
shooting rules and imagine things.
They blast away at stumps, brush.
livestock and other hunters. Even
veteran hunters aren't immune.
When one man, with Is years of

hunting casualty, by mistakenly
shooting a horse which fell on the
hunter leading it, he explained. II
was psychologically prepared for
elk, and when the horse came in to
the small clearing, ! was all geared
up to shoot anything"
This compulsion gets 50 far out
of-hand that during a recent sea-
son when an unsuccessful elk
hunter came on a group of red
blanketed and saddled horses he
opened fire. He kept shooting at
the horses until other hunters
threw him down on the snow and
sat on him.
If these mistaken for game"
shootings show a frightening lack
of consideration for fellow hunters,
the accidental discharge" cases
betray an equally appalling ignor-
ance or disregard of the most
elementary rules of safety in ham
ding weapons. The NRA survey
shows that 40 per cent of the total
hunting casualties, and So per cent
of the deaths resulted from guns
that went off unintentionally -
because the hunter didn't take
simple safety precautions. It's a
depressing reflection on shooting
accuracy, but victims have an 80
per cent chance of surviving a pur-
posely fired shot, while twice as
many, or AZ per cent of those hit
by accidentally-discha hunts
mems bullets end up as cases for
>the coroner.
Accidental-discharge tragedies
fall into a few simple headings like:
Shooter Stumbled or Fell.
When quizzed, before a Libby,
Mont, coroner's jury as to how 81
year-old Gerald Hays died, fellow

thought he saw a deer and raised
his gun to shoot. At the same time
he stumbled and fell. discharging
his rifle into Hays's back and kill

Trigger Caught in Brush. After

is highly suggestive of cancer.
Operable Period Increased.
In 80 per cent of cases operated
on for lung cancer, DR.. Rigler
pointed out, whenever previous
X-rays have been available he has
found evidence of the malignant
growth from ten months to sew
eral years before there was the
first complaint of symptoms. In
one case a malignant tumor was
shown in the lungs for seven
years before the man first ap-
Ipeared for treatment. The average
time from the first appearance
to the time when cancer reaches
the inoperable stage now has been
pushed up from II to 81 months.
University of Minnesota scien-
lists now plan an experiment in

grows much more slowly than
was thought in the past. We are
just learning how to detect the
early traces and when we are bet

the lungs to detect early tubercu-
ilosis.
This was reported here by DR..
Leo G. Rigler of the University of
Minnesota at symposium of
science writer's arranged by the
American Cancer Society. The
finding is of special significance
because today malignant growths
in the lungs constitute the most
rapidly increasing form of cancer
in this country and leading
cause of death. The reason for
this, which sometimes is attributed
to inhaling cigarette smoke by
susceptible persons, really is I'M
known. When lung cancers start,
however, they often prove very
malignant.
Early Symptoms Vague.
| Up to now, DR.. Rigler said, a
person has been given about an IL
month life expectancy after a lung
cancer is first detected unless it is
treated by very radical surgery,
such as removal of the entire lung.
One reason is that the symptoms
at first are not very specific and
are confused with cigarette
coughs" and the like.
Lung X-rays taken for TB de-
lection seldom are studied for any
other purpose and very often are
thrown away when no tuberculos
LESSONS are found. Doctors talk
loosely of finding sears" spots on
the lungs which do not look just
right and for which no real ex-
PLANTATION is offered. They may

He urged that all lung X-rays
be kept either in the files of the
physician or the patient. If a
