One of the aims of the local heart group, which is affiliated with the North Carolina and American Heart Associations, is to inform the public about the hope ful side of heart disease, accord ing to Dr- Hill. "Despite the alarming increase in (he numbers of people who arc being stricken by heart and blood vessel diseases and in the rate of deaths from these diseas es, heart research has led to some significant advances in treatment," he said. "New drugs are being used to combat high blood pressure, for instance, and anti-coagulants are helping people who have had heart attacks ward off further at tacks," he continued. "Rhemuatic fever," the Heart chairman pointed out, "is a form of heart disease which until re cently was one of the great crip plers of children.

"Perhaps the most important advances of all have been made in the field of heart surgery," Dr. Hill added. "Parents who once felt despair when told their child had been bom with a defective heart, now know that practically every heart malformation may .be' corrected | by surgery," he said. I "To bring hopeful facts such as these to public attention will be the job of Mr. Jordan and he will 1 also be responsible for publicizing j the activities of our new Heart I Committee," he stated I One of the methods to be used ! in reaching the public will be | through a Speaker's Bureau.

I was downtown talking to a feller who runs I thin store and he had some real interesting ideas about trade in | Murphy and such like. This man said his store on the week-end was something like I a bank with all the checks he cashed and whatnot. And a lot of | these checks, Ihc feller said, came from other towns, like Hayes Ivi He. Hiawassee and Blue Ridge, Ga. This, the merchant said, made him real happy, but it also made him think just at little. If part of the people from these towns come to Murphy to s shop then some of them go on to Atlanta or Aaheville where they can get everything they might went, or they use the Sears- Roe buck catalogue to do their shopping. r What this feller was driving at was that a town located like Murphy la, that is far away from a big city, ought to be self-suffi cient, able to furnish citlsens everything they need. This way, be safd, you wouldn't have people from Murphy or Hayeavllle, or Blue Ridge or wherever, going to Asherille or Atlanta to buy what they want, but would come to Murphy if it waa closer. He claimed that what this town needs is a couple of big stores that can afford to carry a whole lot o ( things. He couldn't see where it would hurt the little independent merchant to operate In a town with chain store*, but would help them. If Murphy bad a couple of Mg stores, he said, there would he a whole lot mora customers for everybody. Yew know, he lust might be right If anybody wants to tell me anything. Just tell them to write me in care of the Scout Sincerely, '' 1' \ 1. D- GLARE mmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmrnm wattf* treme cold. One persons in Tran sylvania County was killed in an accident due to cold.
