I, ■ Aaoliia—TIm "Cereeeiys" Cousin In Ncent monUu, partiealariy in tb« Ualt«d States, mneh •ttention h«i bocn foeoMd on h^rt and arMrial diaeaM*. Upp«nnoat in everyone’s mind has been the diao^ar sailed coronary thrombosis in which a blood clot stop* passace «f Mood through one of the coronary arteries that supply UM Mart mnaela vith falood. Ai^in* pectoris, a rdatad dis order, is not caused bf a dot, bat by a narrowinit of the coronary arteries. This alao ants dowa the flow of nonrUhlng btood to the heart muscle itsdf and ttusea severe pain in the chest, mau like that experienced during a coro nary stuck. Anginal attacks can be brought on by strenuous exertion or emo tional upsets. While rest or drugs can usually relieve anginal pain, rest alone does not appreciably lessen pain caused by coronary thrombosis. In angina pectoris, the heart be haves like an auto with a pinched feed line. When the ear Is parked at the curb, the motor idlM smooth ly; when the same auto tries to climb a hill, the motor backfires and protests. & it is with the heart of the anginal patient; under no pressure, it functions satisfac torily, but if the patient runs up- stain, walks briskly, or, perhaps, even'watches an exciting event, the result may well be a painful attack. A serious consideration in an- ?:ina pectoris is that it may ^ the orerunner of thrombosis. Con striction of an artery may enable a clot to form in the narrowest part. When the clot plugs the artery and stops the flow of blood, coronary thrombosis is established. The section of the heart muscle fed “by the artery “starves" to death from lack of nourishment, then disintegrates, and, eventually, in the usud case, is replaced by inactive scar tissue. "Angina pectoris,” according to Dr. Henry I. Russek, noted heart specialist of New York, “is really a flrst cousiif to coronary throm bosis. But the patient with angina PMtoris can do much to control it, and to forestall the conmlication of coronary thrombosis. He should avoid hurry, worry, excitement, overexertion, overweight, overeat ing and smoking." Nitroglycerine, the explosive, is the most effective drug in relieving acute attacks of angina pectoris according to Dr. Russek. It causes the coronary arteries to dilate, permitting blood to flow freely. It acts within seconds, but provides relief for only 16 minutes to a half hour. For longer lasting relief. Dr. Russek uses a “cousin” of nitro glycerine called Peritrate. His in vestigation of this dru^ has shown that its protection agamst attacks lasts from four to flve hours. In one series of clinical tests conducted with colleagues at the Public Health Service Hospitali Staten Island, N. Y., Dr. Russek tested 13 new drugs, plus the old drugs, alcohol and morphine, in a group of 60 patients, using electro cardiograms to check drug effects. Their cenclusions: Whiskey, though long a popular “medicine”, acts only as a sedative and hides the disorder by masking the pain. Morphine, too, is only a masking pain-killer. Of the 13 new drugs, only Peritrate was as effective in its long-lasting relief u nitro- fllycerine is in its immediate actiom It wa^ the only drug that provided four hours or more of protection against recurrent attacks. AWOtDABOIITSCOUTIKG BT HSNBY W. GILLIS Diftrict Scoat EzMnflv« HUNTING FEVKR—The se cret of good hunting or good Scouting is the sort of enthusi asm which results in careful preparation and planning. Your round-up will pay off if some body gets the “fever!” In many parts of the country about this time of the year great segments of our male population succumb to a recur rent malady—hunting fever. Symptoms can usually be de tected by the victim’s demon strations of animated gestures, excited and rapid speech, and a decided dilation of the pupils when the words “rabbit,” “deer,” or “quail” are mention ed in his presence. Long before the fall of the year, however, signs of the ap proaching malady are evident. Trips to the neighboring sports shops arc followed by detailed descriptions around the dinner table of the latest accounter- ments for gentlemen of the hunt. “Old Betsy,” his favorite shooting piece, is brought from her usual resting place., taken apart with loving care, and in spected carefully. Imaginary game is lined up in her sights whenever the next-door neigh bor drops in for a chat. What has all this to do with Scouting, you ask. Well, the analogy is simply this. The the field in the fall and bring home game knows that he must plan carefully and get his gear ready weeks in advance. The Scouter who expects strong functioning units next spring must take steps how to ensure the continued man power necessary for a strong unit. Like the hunter, he, too, must plan in advance. He must re cruit. new boys. The committee must recruit new members. During the past three months, as grade and high schools have swung into fall activities, many pack, troop and Explorer unit leaders have looked about and seen a great new crop of young fellows eight to eighteen years of age who were fair game for Scouting. These youngsters were just waiting for someone to ask them to join in the fun and adventure Scouting offers, Today, thousands of these boys throughout the nation and here in Durham where we have an annual boy crop of over 3,100 between the ages of 8 and 18., are standing by waiting and many have accepted active membership in Scouting. But what about your unit? Have you taken in new boys this fal? llf your answer to this is “No,’’ have you taken into account what your unit’s man power condition will be next ing to the Church or Club who have a program that their friends belong of they don’t have one for themselves. Perhaps you’ve meant to get started on a recruiting program in your unit, but somehow there’ve always been some un answered question in your mind. You’d like some answers- answers to such questions as: Where, specifically, are those boys? Who ask them to join our unit? When do we start? Let’s get at the last question first. The time is now-the only time a boy knows. To help you get started, we move in on your first question-where specifical ly, are these boys? Your local schools can answer this ques tion. But to avoid having maybe dozens of i^nits going to school authorities and asking them to si^pply names and addresses, we suggest this: Let each Ex plorer unit or Troop ‘or Pack furnish one young man to work with the Organization commit tee or Executive and this infor mation can be rounded-up. From there on its every Pack, Troop and Post becom ing a recruiter. To the fields, men the season is almost over. Until next week. Have a safe week. hunter who expects to go Into spring. Boys have a way of go- This year miliioBa of Americans of all faiths will join in daily Bible reading from 'Thanksgiving to Christmas in the twelfth annual observance of Worldwide Bible Reading, sponsored by the American Bible Society. The program, which began when a U. S. marine on Guadalcanal wio^ his mother asking that the family join him in reading the same Csages of Scripture each day, spread in scope to the peoples of more than forty nations. The readings are without note or comment, and one may use whatever version of the Bible be prefers. Below are the readings for each day, in the theme of personal faith as selected by numerous people from many denominations.

Mode from Ofoln. LRoUcy & a*. Codwytvlllo, Md. TeAn. Fanner, 73, Grosses P,OIIII Per Year From His 34-Acre Farm IFURFREESBORO, Tenn. How small farmers can make a good living on a few acres is being demonstrated by Felix Haynes, a 73-year-old colored farm operator of Murfreesboro, Tenn., says W. H. Williamson, as sistant State extension agept of Tennessee. On just 34 acres with a three- and-a-half-acre cotton allotment, Haynes is grossing close to |3, 000 a year by following sound agricultural practices. “And with his small farm paid for and most of his food coming right off his land, this farmer is living well, indeed,” Williamson declares. In fact, Haynes has done so well that he took second place over 800 competing farmers last year in th| Middle Tennessee Ru ral Home Life contest. Asked what he thought con tributed most to his success, Haynes replied, “Keeping my land in good shape, growing a variety of corps instead of just one or two, and raising food for my family and feed for my live stock.” When the Tennessee prize winner bought his farm years ago, he was able to get only three quarters of a bale of cotton to the acre on it, and had to rent additional land in order to keep going. Today, he gets more than two bales to the acre, or eight bales off his three and a half acre allotment. His corn yield has risen, too. He now gets 50 to 60 bushels to the acre, instead of only 18 to 20. “ Hajrnes increased his crop yields by following the ractices recommended by his county agent, Tony Webb, Jr. These in cluded having his soil tested to find out what plant foods are needed, applying recommended quantities of fertilizer of the pro per composition, planting cover crops on all his cropland after the tiarvest, and rotating his crops. In recent years, Haynes has been developing improved pas tures of ladino clover, fescue, and orchard grass for his small herd of beef cattle. And he counts on his alfalfa to bring him 20 to 30 tons of hay for market. Haynes often looks back to the day he got started in farming as a wage hand fore than 50 years ago and measures his success up the ladder to sharecropper, ten ant, and finally, owner of a smaU farm. It took two years of share- cropping for him and Mrs. Hay nes to save up enough to buy a pair of mules and.becofe renters, and three years more to get the down-payment for a farm of their own. In 1932, they built an attrac tive home out of field stones for SATUTOAY. DEC. !•. IWS THE CABOUlfA TDMi themselves and their seven children, and tore down the bam-like dwelling that came with the place. Last year, three rooms and a bath were added. These improvements helped him to win second place in the Rural Home Life contest; Haynes is de ceased. When the 73-year-oW farmer was presented the award, he rub bed his' chin thoughtfully and said, “I’ve come a long way, and I’m not finished yet.” Work Begun To Aid Needy During Yuletide The Christmas Cheer Club has begun its annual program of helping needy families to have a happier Christmas.
