O Cancer Control Fund of $575 Is Sought in County Harvey Carter, representing the chamber of commerce, has been appointed chairman of the Amer ican Cancer society fund cam paign to start in Union county Monday. The county quota has been set at $575, as a contribution to the state quota of $65,000 and the national quota of $5,000,000, Serving on the committee and Die organization each represents are: Bert Worley, Lions; Treve Lumsden, Rptqry; Helen Man ning, Soroptimists; Edna Mae Burress, Venture, , and Mervin Mortenson, junior chamber of commerce.
