cal medical societies and the Divi-

plans for the local clinic.
What The Doctors Say
The cancer detection center pro
gram is, of course, endorsed by
the Medical Society of the State
and is backed up by the Cancer
Committee of the State Medical
Society.
The clinic program, however,
has not Away had easy going.
Whenever they have fully under
stood it, have had opportunity to
see it operate, or have worked in
it, individual doctors have been
convinced of its value.
Doctors who work in the clinics,
some of whom had to be convert
ed" from their original negative
stand on them, are enthusiastic in
their endorsements.

group Of specialists, a very high
type of expert service is rendered
the patients.
Many attending the clinics have
previously had no family doctor
and have not been receiving regu-
lar physical check-ups. The clinics
help to educate these persons to
the need for selecting their own
doctor and going to him regularly.
Centers are open to all citizens
of all races in the cancer age brac-
kets and others who might have
cancer symptoms. Many are en-
couraged to come through educa-
tional efforts of local societies or
through the recommendations of
doctors. Many local Cancer Society
units help to arrange transporta-
ton for patients. Often clubs come
in group for examination.
Some of the volunteer workers
in the clinics have been working
since the very beginning Of the
program in 1913.

The clinics are operated through
the Division of Cancer Control in
the State Board of Health. They
are manned by doctors of the coun-
ty medical societies; receptionists,
aides, and so on, are volunteers of
the county units of the American
Cancer Society, North Carolina Di-
vision. The educational program,
through which the public is ad-
vised about the clinic opportuni-
ties, is conducted by the Cancer
Society.
The first cancer clinic to open
was in New Hanover county, April
81, 1913.
The goal originally set for the
program was to establish at least
20 centers throughout the state
10 Acknowledgements centers in
cities where specialists and facili-
ties were available and 10 detection
centers in smaller communities.
The aim is to have the centers so
located that no citizen would have
to travel more than so miles for
examination.
Cancer centers are established
only on invitation of the local
county medical society. Lay citi-
zens may express their desire for
a clinic to the medical society.

More Money Sought
By Both Parties 10
Finish Campaign
BY the Associated Press

The Democrats and Republicans
say their drives for small, individ-
ual campaign contributions are
rolling along but each side is
calling for more.
A spokesman for the Democratic
National Committee said yesterday
its SIS gift program is doing well
but not well enough" Not
enough money is in sight to pay
for scheduled radio and television
broadcasts, but no cancellations
are expected. he added.
Sinclair Weeks, chairman of the
National Finance
Committee, said last night more
than 100000 persons have Clipped
in about $3.50 apiece to help f.
nance the G. o. P. election cam
paign.
Mr.. Weeks said Eisenhower's
Look Ahead Neighbor" drive has
drawn more individual contribu-
tions from the grass roots than
either party has received in the
history of American politics." He
appealed for more funds to "or-
ganize popular support from now
to November T."
Meanwhile, Chairman Stephen
A. Mitchell reported that the
Democratic National Committee
will be unable to give financial
aid to Democratic candidates for
the House and Senate.
Mr.. Mitchell said the committee
has bank balance of $130.013.59.
He said it has taken in $1,738.-
61122 since January and spent
81 ,921 ,615.52, making up the diff
ference out of funds on hand at
the start Of the year.
Mr.. Mitchell said he was really
by the public reac-
ton to a fund appeal made be-
fore and after Thursday nights
by Gov. Stevenson.
Such appeals will continue. he

BarkIey Takes Slap
At BYrnes in Speech
In South Carolina
BY the Associated Pres.

GREENVILLE, S. c., Oct. 25.-
Vice President Barkley, describ-
ing himself as just IAN American
speaking to other Americans,
HEADED today for the Middle West
after Democratic Party campaign
talks in the Carolinas.
After earlier speeches in North
Carolina for Gov. Stevenson, Mr.
Barkley spoke here last night to
"a crowd estimated by city officials
at 5000 to 5000. He received a
Irousing ovation.
His visit to traditionally Demo-
cratic South Carolina was
watched because of the strong
support for Gen. Eisenhower
among members of the State
Democratic Party. Gen. Eisen-
hover spoke to a huge crowd at
Columbia. September 30, and
some observers regard the State
as doubtful.
Mr.. Barkley aimed what was
regarded by some as a verbal slap
at Gov. James F. Byrnes, who is
actively supporting Gen. Eisen-
hover. Gov. Byrnes, who once
served with Mr.. Barkley in the
Senate, is a lifelong Democrat
and a one-time Secretary of State
in the Truman cabinet.
II would despise myself" Mr..
Barkley said, IF after 40 years of
Democratic office holding I de-
serted the Democratic Party and
voted Republican.
The remark drew little reac-
ton, possibly because Mr.. Bark
ley led up to it with references
to himself.
In North Carolina, Mr.. Barkley
spoke to midday crowd of $500
at the Winston-Salem airport and
later addressed 1000 more shout
ing and cheering Democrats in
Charlotte's 3,000-capacity armory-
auditorium.
