Cancer Control
Fund of $575 Is
Sought in County
Harvey Carter, representing the
chamber of commerce, has been
appointed chairman of the Amer

Monday. The county quota has
been set at $575, as a contribution
to the state quota of $65,000 and

Contributions may be left at
the chamber of commerce office,

Statistics show that during the

An estimated 600,000 Ameri

GRAIN
CHICAGO, April 21 (UP) -Grain
futures moved unevenly in
light dealings on the board of
trade today. Evening up, short
covering and some mill-buying
accounted for most of the activ
ity. Wheat finished the day up (4

to oft ; oats off 'M to up ;
rye unchanged to up V, and bar
ley unchanged to off one cent.
Wheat ImoviCd .fractionally
higher as milling and elevator
interests turned buyers. The
trade looked for cash wheat to
continue strong in view of the
heavy government orders for
wheat and flour. The undertema
continued firm despite favorablo
weather and crop reports.
