misleading movies and television, that the
South fought war for slavery, is an mac

Grant jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee,
among the foremost leaders of the period,
all agreed that the war was fought on the
question Of state sovereignty, of local in
dependence and local self-government and
state government
1t is we'll that all Americans remember
that this war, between the North and the
South was not a black and white affair.
that there We're as many good men on one
side as the other, and as many conscien-

by the war, and today Americans subscribe

In the final phase, the willingness of all

How To Save
More Lives

i Once more, the American Can
Ger Society has launched the an
nual April Crusade to raise 500
100000 for its national programs
of research, education and service.
Certainly in the light Of the re-
markable progress being made
against cancer, there is no ques-
ton that these programs deserve
our utmost support.
Today one-third Of all cancer
patients are being saved. This
contrasts with a decade ago when
roughly one cancer patient il
every four could be saved. This
gain is remarkable for two rea-
sons: first is that cancer was
formerly a disease regarded as
hopeless by leading medical
opinion; and second the saving Of
what amounts to additional 30,
600 l-ves annually has come with
out benefit Of any radically new
methods Of treatment And stir
another $4,000 lives can be saved
each year
Advances in cancer control to
date are the fruits of public sup
port for voluntary health agencies
like the American Cancer Society.
ATS programs have been vital to
this progress.
The record shows that the re-
search attack on cancer has be-
come the greatest. the costliest
undertaking in medical history.
The record shows that public
knowledge Of cancer is at an all
time high, although it has a long
way to 20.
The record shows increasing
concern and recognition OF can
Ger as a major health problem
among Americas physicians
Now Is the time to secure the
future victory over cancer.
Your whole-hearted sup p ort
and cooperation with the 1857
Cancer Crusade Of the American
Cancer Society will help to assure
that victory
Give now and give generously.

leader and several Of the important indus
trial and business enterprises begun by
him contribute largely to the economy of
the section today. J. E. Garland, his success
sor carried forward with progressive poll
cies during his 20 year term, prior to re-
tirement this year to become president
emeritus. He is succeeded by his son, R. E.
Garland who with devoted staff Of offic-
ers and employees will carry toward the
good work of the preceding admnistra-
tons.
From its beginning Farmville has been
