April Cancer Month

A PRlL IS Cancer Control Month by
Presidential proclamation. During
this month the American Cancer So
clety is seeking funds for important
programs of research, education and
service. 1t is also seeking something
even more important for the immediate
present - to communicate.
1t would be just as appropriate to de-
slgnate April as Cancer Communication
Month. Why? AS distinguished health
officer said recently: "If someone in
vented drug that would cure half of
the present cases of cancer the excite
ment would be beyond belief We have
such drug: 1t is communication"
An estimated one-half of all cases
of cancer could be cured by finding
them soon enough and doing for them
what we already know how to do" How
ever, only one-third is being saved,
largely because the individual does not

Time to Be Right

I saw this riddle in recent Sunday
paper: (Which is more accurate a
clock that doesn't run at all or clock
that gains one minute a day." The an
Swer was that the clock that doesn't
run is more accurate. 1t is right twice
a day. The other clock is right every
two years.
Be that as it may, my sympathy is
with the clock that is running - and do
ing the best it can. When it is right, it
is right by its own efforts The clock
that isn't running is right purely by
chance
Switching from clocks to men, the
man who does nothing will be right
pretty often. AT least he won't be wrong.
The man who tries may be wrong for
two years, or two hundred years, be-
fore time proves that he is right.
In the Snapshot and Song" column
this week is picture of John Fitchs
grave John Fitch had faith that he was
right about steamboats,, and built his
first boat in 1887 Like the clock that
was ticking ahead of time, John Fitch
was running too fast. He was wrong for
twenty years - and then Robert Full
ton proved Fitch to be right.
AS understand it, Fulton's boat was
not greatly superior mechanically to the
boats Fitch built No doubt the design of
the later boat was more practical, but
Fltch's boats We're not bad as far as
mechanics were concerned Instead of
beng propelled by paddle wheels they
were moved by steam-driven oars : but
they worked, and moved at a fair clip.
Fltch'S trouble was that people were
not ready to accept steam boats and his
craft could not be operated profitably.
BY the time Fulton built the "Clermont"
people were becoming Interested in
steam propelled boat; and even this
first boat Of Fulton's was operated pro-
fitably.

when he was right.

WASHINGTON. March %

WASHINGTON, March 70 -
Another member of the Kennedy
family is moving into key spot.
ephen Smith, youngest
brother-in-law of the President,
is quietly taking over the reins
Of the Democratic National Com
mittee. Slim, dapper and a
hard-headed businessman, Smith
was the backstage manager Of
Ted Kennedy's successful drive
for the Senate last year t h a t
cost upwards of 100000.
Outwardly, National Chairman
John Bailey will continue as top
man. But actual contril will be
exercised by young Smith.
Already he is spending sever
al days a week at the committee
familiarizing himself with h e
staff and operations. He is care
fully scrutinizing the payroll and
other expenditures, making de-
tailed inquiries as to the duties
OF various individuals and out
lays.
In this new, powerful political
role, Smith, IS and heir of a
New York tugboat and barge
fortune. reports directly to the
President.
This backstage arrangement IS
wholly agreeable to Chairman
Bailey.
Some weeks ago hints circu-
lated he was considering running
against Senator Thomas Dodd,
Doom. They proved uEfounded
Bailey would like to go to the
Senate, but his prospects against
Dodd would be very dubious, es-
pecially in a holly contested
presidential year as 1864 is
shaping up.
So Bailey will remain as ma

scenes and without a title, Smith
will be the real boss.
This will still further tighten

For some time, it was an
open secret among Democratic
politicos that Bobby was h e
man to see about inner party
affairs. He was known to keep
close eye on committee &C
tivites, and to have personal
representatives on its staff for
that purpose.
But one Of these heutenantS.
Paul Corbin, proved more con-
troversial than helpful. Sent to
New York to handle federal
patronage, he clashed with State
Chairman William McKeon, who
protested directly to the Presi-
dent. Shortly thereafter. Corbin
was recalled from New York.
Bobby also found himself in
hot water in other states -
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin = where Democratic
leaders are bitterly feuding.

partment is supposed to escheW

Open Letter
To MIR. Kennedy

Editor of Herald.
am sending an open Letter to
Attorney General Kennedy.
Hon. Robert F.. Kennedy
Attorney General
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Mr.. Kennedy:
am enclosing an editorial
from The Farnville Herald Of
March %. l want you to read
carefully the item Education
and Freedom.
am sure you know the situa-
ton in Prince Edward, and if
you do, you will know that edu-
cation has not been denied to
the Negro children. but on the
other hand the finest high school
was erected to give them i'm
roved school facilities. Their
failure to get an education is
due to pressure by the NAACP
with which you and others are
working hand-in-hand to put
over ideals that are contrary to
our way of life.
If the Kennedys could learn a
simple lesson, that a minority
group who are forever stirring
up trouble, which is undergrad
with hate, is not the group to
set up standards of living for
our conduct.
And further, if you could re-
allze you represent all Of the
United States not just those sec
tors which may be able to pro-
duce the largest vote, am sure
the Southland would be much
more pleased
am sure this will not mean
much to you, but | may say. it
is good horse sense, neverthe-
less.

his eye on the White House =

DOLLARS FOR HARTKE -

eight rockies. So they propose to
return the favor by raising $50

tough reelection battle next

He Will Come

Lesson for March 81, 1868
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1963-03-29

The words Second Coming"
always mean one particular
Coming. Millions of persons
every day in the world come a
second time to some place or
other; but that is not what Sec
ond Coming means. When SPELL
ed with capitals. the expression
refers to Christ in the future. He
came, that is important. He
comes: every day that is true.
He will come: this is important
too. Christians have engaged in
endless debates. more's the
pity, about the Second Coming,
= mostly questions about it that
no one can answer before hand.
But whatever their differences,
all branches and varieties Of the
Christian faith agree that
Christ will reign: that at long
last He will be in fact and not
only in hope the Ruler of this
world.
