so, it would be shocking to think that whatever favorable factors were involved in development of a particular route would mean nothing in the final outcome unless political factors were also favorable to that route.

Cancer Cant .

More Than Temporary

SCGty Repairs Are Required

By LYNN NISBET

CANCER CRUSADE April Is the month for the annual cni-sade conducted by the American Cancer Society to raise funds to fight cancer. Response of the public has been generous through the years, despite Insistence in some quarters that the cancer crusade be integrated into the United Fund, and the belief on part of some that they have contributed adequately to this cause when they donated to the overall united fund.

The American Cancer Society Is one of five independent health agencies conducting solicitation campaign in North Carolina. Others are the Heart Association. the National Foundation, the Society for Crippled Children and Adults, and the Tuberculosis Association. Because a large part of the money raised In these independent campaigns goes into research and education, rather than into direct service to patients, they cannot be fitted into the United Fund scheme. Other UF sponsored ac-

ally coordinated research and education programs: 10 percent for national education service statistics, field services, administration of research and coordination of cancer control efforts: 60 percent of state" and county units C and of that 60 percent almost half Is for public and professional education. About 40 percent of the 60 percent goes for services to patients. and the remainder for administration. This small amount contrasts with 50 percent or more Of the total collections used for administration and fund raising by some local units.

The principal reason that education and research cannot be carried out on local level is that the research must be conducted where facilities are available. North Carolina is no special beneficiary of the American Cancer Society because it pets back In grants for research nearly three times as much as the state contributes. That is because of the location here of

It is becoming increasingly apparent'*-that if North Carolinas historical Outer Banks are to be preserved more than just temporary repairs will liiiiiave to be made following storms.

High winds and water late last week knocked oiit several spans of a temporary bridge being constructed across a new inlet near Buxton, left by the Ash Wednesday storm. In spite of the fact that the federal government has agreed to clo.'ie the new inlet at some future date, we seriously question whether filling the inlet with sand will be sufficient.

In recent years the Outer Banks all along the Tar Heel coast have taken a terrific battering. The narrow strip of sand islands which separate the ocean and sounds are being eaten away at both sides. Inundation of large portions of the islands appears to become more frequent, with less severe storms required to producie the effect in each passing year.

By ROGER BABSON

BABSON PARKi Mass. ^ When a young person has a really useful Idea and takes it to a larger concern to make and promote, he Is often discouraged when it Is turned down. This is because the head of the company asks only two questions: (1) Is It a new idea? (2) Will It sell? Unless It passes both tests, the big company will not bother with it. However, there Is always n opportunity for a young person with selling ability and persistence to start his own business.

THE GERBER PRODUCTS COMPANY

When I was a young man. my wife cooked certain foods which she gave to our baby daughter during the weaning period. Only within the last forty years has anyone manufactured baby foods" to save the housewife work. A young man named Gerber, when graduating from Babson Institute, told mo that his family was Interested In this Idea. So(Mi he went to Fremont, Michigan and developed the sales of the business.

The big food companies began to compete with him. He, however, with persistence and 'eiihsiasm, kept ahead of them. Today Gerber Baby Foods* axe knovra all over the U. S. and in many European countries. The big food concerns had had generations to manufacture baby foods, but It took Daniel F. Gerber to make a million from this Idea.

A FISH CHOWDER IDEA

Being a Gloucester boy, I always like a chowder every Friday made from haddock. Today, this haddock must be caught. Iced, and brought into Gloucester. There it is filleted. These fillets contain only 40 per cent of the food value; the head, skin, and bones make up the other 60 per cent. These fillets are frozen or canned to sell for making fish chowder. Someday some young person wdll capitalize on the Idea of grinding up the entire fish pd making condensed fish, .iust as Mr. Borden made the first_

condensed milk. Instead of having only 40 per cent of the_ nutrient it will have the entiie 100 per cent. When I speak to my Gloucester friends about this

leal Research Foundation contributed $56,665 about one-half of one percent of the total amount raised. The Cancer Society alcMie put up $297.930 for research in North Carolina more than twice the $136,305 collected In the state.

NOT LOCAL The cancer research program cannot be carried out on local basis. Not even on statewide level. It must be broad in scope and general application That is another reason why the crusade cannot be fitted into a United Fund camt^Ign. The main purpose ei--4fee-Usitli' Ftmd is erclsc s<Hne control over the collection and disbursetnent of moneys contributed Jor its objectives. Such supeKlsion can be exercised over that part of the cancer money which is used for direct service to patients. The purchase of medicines, the payment of medical and hospital bills, attendant nurses and similar services must be on local basis. A relatively small part of the cancer funds are devoted to these specific service Item*. A rough breakdown shows cancer crusade funds distributed 30 percent for nation-

The desire of United Fund officials to channel all public giving through cwie central agency is understandable and commendable. There should be distinction between the educa-tion-research phases and the direct service features of the total program.

PERSONAL Your reporter confesses a keen personal interest In this matter. There are many types of cancer, each requiring a different method of treatment and control. Improved practices in surgery and discovery of how certain types re-apond to newly diseovered-^ruga have brought a large measure of control and cure. There are some tvTies for which no effective restraining agent has been found. That is why research must go on and on at ever accelerated rate. There is firm faith that the war against cancer can be and ^111 be won. But victory depends upon a broad strategy campaign, with finances available w'here and when needed, no^pon a multitude of little local organizations some of which seem as much interested in proving jobs for employees as in the total war.

What is the solution for such a problem?

Of course, politically, Venezuelans seem to be more Important than West Virginians, which is one reason that President Eisenhower was unpopular in that state. So. the idea is to retrain the miners and to move them from their homes to where jobs can be found for retrainees. Young people in the mining towns move to the big industrial cities and, in time, the mining towns can become ghost towns like the silver and gold towns of the West.

to export residual oil?

There is some very bad thinking in the political approach to economic problems. The*^ sociology of it is all wrong. From the standpoint of the Kennedy Administration, it would seem to me that the economics of this country cannot be dealt with piece-meal but as a whole, as a matter that requires a national rather than an International approach. The export of jobs has imperilled the automobile and some smaller industries; the import of steel products has imperilled the steel industry;^ the import of residual oil has "ruined the bituminous coal industry.

The fundamental dangers to our country are the export of jobs and the softenig of money. In many respects these items* are as serious as our war with Soviet Russia. They can end as destructively and as disastrously. -
