JAN. 30. 1941 *'? far DON PHILLIPS fnc The Democrat takes sad cogniz- j the anee of the death of Don H. Phillip*-, j fr<)l tew a county boy. who was actively en- fon gaged in the publication of a weekly newspaper at Ewen. Mich., until his fan death a week ago. c*ai Don came to the Watauga Democrat thirty or more years ago, as a lad and it was here that the neverto-be-erased stain of printer's ink ^ ( touched his fingers. In those haly- hav con days of youth, Don "held a yea case" on the local newspaper, inked *hc the Washington press, took note of * v 111 , it an? local happenings ana was an ali- cj0, around helper to the deceased editor Ha1 and his boys. In following years wif Don published his own newspapers a n in different sections of the country- . lau devoting his very best to the interests jai of each community in which he la- tea bored, but the home-town newspa- son per always claimed him as "one of ^ir' its boys." Don was i\ good newspaper man .a genial whole-souled fel- l low, charitable and kind, and the fourth estate has sustained the loss of one of its most energetic workers De; in his death. We chronicle the loss * of a good friend. \'u the JUSTICE FOR TEACHERS (Winston-Solent Journal) ' ^ Tho Greensboro Daily News per- WC( tinently suggests that while it seems tho entirely appropriate for Chairman Dunlap of the state highway com- Qr! mission to draw sick leave for three joai months, tile editorial conscience is os( lashed by the thought that when lncj poorly-paid school teachers are fore- u ^ ed out on account of sickness their ;n lean pay envelopes are slashed. This is something to weigh heavily co upon the minds of officials and the ^ citizens who furnish the money to ^; pay all officers and employees of ver the state. cr; j So patent is the need for sick -j-^t leave allowance among the teachers .an that we continue to hope that some- sjxt thing of a definite nature can be j s. done and will be done as soon as ] possible. And we are certain that an(j . Governor Broughion and other friends of education will do what they can to hasten the event. g INCOME FROM LIVESTOCK //- i /" i VUdiwjiuu vraicnc; I One of the reasons why The Edi Gazette stresses the growing of live- V stock for farmers is that every au- for thority to which we have access you shows that the fanners who grow taki livestock have larger cash incomes my than those who stick to crop farm- pec ing. The letter which we recently han had from a Gastonia boy studying nei| veterinary medicine at Kansas State, cou who had been visiting some of the moi Nebraska farms, furnished further evidence. He told of the fine farm K homes he saw there, with modern conveniences, automobiles and money in the bank. \ A study of cash and gtoss income sm; figures for North Carolina and the con nation made by the University mir News Letter reveals the same facts sid< cis iv.gdiU5 uvcamuR. icuiiiuig <mu ?' farming in this state. frit The figures on cash incme per- me farm, which are for the year 1939, I t are particularly enlightening.

Doctors ha arned me from time to time f years to cut down on cigarette didn't pay much attemion un is year. Last summer my hea gan to cut up, and I got worrie le doctor started off with the us advice, to lay off cigarettes. I tried it. Along in September upped smoking entirely.

I've been looking in whole subject or heart trouble ic one thing about them on whit ctors seem to agree is that moi ople die of heart disease in Ame i than from any other cause. Ju W much or how little smoking h; do with this situation is a poil which there is groat difference i inion. My belief is that too much blan Dlaced it in m cieai cites. Docto id that a high percentage of the art patients are neavy smoke: it so is a high per eentage of fo to never have a sign of Ilea iuble There are no statistics c number of people who hu> loked to excess all their lives ai ver had a symptom of heart di se. There's no doubt that most of i it too much strain on our hearl lere's something in the air neiiea that tempts people to ti do more than the folk of othi untries do. We work at big rvous tension, develop high bloc essure. and play havoc with tl jrkings of our bodily machine it we get things done and have od time doing them, as no olhi ople do.
