Junior Bowling Card
To Start Saturday
The local junior bowling pro
gram for the coming .season
will start Saturday morning
September 21 at 10 a. m. at the
Skyline Lanes.
The league will be under the
sponsorship of the Boone Jay
cee Club and all boys and girls
between the ages of 10 and 18
are invited to join a team.

the junior bowlers planning to
join a team will receive three
free games of bowling and
teams will be organized. The
league will start its regular
schedule of play the following

Jaycees clubs over the state of
North Carolina which sponsor
and encourage junior bowling
programs. The State Jaycee or

American Junior Bowling Con
gress. This is the national or
ganization for junior bowling
teams and the primary func
tions of this organization are
to teach youngsters how to
bowl properly so they will
achieve the maximum physical
enjoyment from the sport, and
to stress character building,
team play and sportsmanship.
Know The Weather
By E. H. SIMS
Can one foretell anything
about the weather by carefully
noticing the color of the clouds
above? , ,,,
r )The answer is that only very
limited weather information
can be detected from observa
tion of cloud colors. The truth
is, in fact, clouds have no col
or. It may be hard to believe
but clouds are colorless.
Their apparent color results
from reflection. The tiny parti
cles of moisture in a cloud re
flects so much light, at so many
angles, they give a white ap
pearance. Take away the sun,
and clouds become darker in
appearance. And clouds can re
flect the colors of darker ob
jects on the earth below, too.
So, little can be learned from
watching the apparent color
changes in clouds. Dark clouds
on bright sunny days in sum
mer do indicate a concentra
tion of moisture so heavy as
to blot out the light of the sun,
and may indicate rain. But oth
er color hues may mean only
that certain clouds are at the
moment reflecting colors from
below, on the earth.

Doctor Talk
By JOHN B. REMBERT, M. D.
One of the leading causes of
death in America today is heart
disease, with statistical figures
on the increase. ,\11 of the causes
revealing that the fatality rate is
for this increase in heart disease
are not known, but medical sci
ence is devoting endless hours
and vast sums of money in at
tempting to find the answers.
One of the early findings in pa
tients is a history of early hyper
tension or high blood pressure,
this elevation from the accepted
normal blood pressure resulting
from a known or unknown cause.
It is most important that this
early onset of hypertension be
known and proper treatment be
started; the best protection (or
the individual is to regularly
have a physical examination by
his family physician.
Modern medical science now
has available many drugs that
have tile property when taken by
an individual to lower the ele
vated blood pressure, some de
signed to tranquiloe the patient
and thereby lessen tension and
reduce the blood pressure. An
other group of drugs has the
property of dilating the blood
vessels either directly, such m
the vessels of the kidney, or in
directly through the nervous sys
tem of the body. Other drugs
have the unique property re
ferred to as "nerve blocking,"
and thereby preventing the con
striction or narrowing of blood
vessels by blocking excessive
nervous reactions. A fifth group
of drugs available to your phy
sician have a direct effect upon
the kidneys, stimulating those
organs to excrete excessive salt
from the body, this group of
drugs being referred to as diure
tics.
With such a formidable group
of drugs at the disposal of your
doctor he now can lower abnorm
ally elevated blood pressure and
thereby reduce damage to the
cardiac muscle. In one wails
until actual irreversfcle damage
is done, then the problem is 1
more serious and difficult to 1
handle In order to prevent early i
hypertension, damage to the car- i
iiac musculature, and damage
to all the blood veeeeto of the
Tody, there are a number at
:ommon-sense suggestions tor
ill to heed: (1) reduce weight, H
jbese; (? reduce high cholet
lerol levels; (S) reduce high
ilood pressure; (4) reduce to
ake of fats; (5) follow a bal
wced diet; (?) increase (lie
?egular amount of exercise: (7)
lon't miss anything; and <?>
(void excesses of all kind, but
risit your family physician at
periodic intervals for a physical
:heck-up.
