Luncheon Speaker
The Rotary club held Kit regular
Thursday meeting last week with

Marrisett of the New York Rotary
Club; and guests were J. P., Keeler

army of the American society for
the control of caucer. Mrs. Drake felt
It an honor and privilege to be in
Camden and speak before the Kotury
club and be able to talk about the
thing closest to her heart and truly
her speech wau a message of the
heart, and she did not feel like a
stranger here since she had visited
In Camden and had many friends
here; also, she had something to do
in the erection of our memorial gute.
Her talk was that of the caucer control
and she wished to bring a message
of hope to many lu South Carolina
where there were one thousand
and ninety deaths from this malady
and she said two-thirds of this number
could have been saved If taken
in time, for so many patients fail to
go to a physician 111 the early stage
of this Insidious disease for early aaucer
is curable. The work of caucer
control education was begun by Mrs.
Grace Marvin Poole, of Faduoah, Ky?
who heads the women's federation of
clubs and undertook the lead In this
work of education and was the recipient
of the degree of doctor of
humanity for her wonderful work.
Mrs. Drake urged every llOtarlan to
read the pamphlet given each member
and pleaded for us to go oat and'
preach to others its contents. Following
her talk a resolution was adopted
endorsing her work.
Rotary urges you to contribute to
and help the Red Cross and buy defense

so you will help your- country tight
