Letter To The Editor The Year Of The Snake To The Editor: There was a song that was popular in the liMOs. It goes Like this: Now there are germs of every kind in any loud that you can find ? either in the market or upon the billow path. People die from drinking whiskey; drinking water is also risky, and it is often times a bad mistake to breathe the air. Chew a cheesey midnight rab bit and a grave you may in habit. Oh, to eat it all is such an awful game! Mrs Limer helped me find a fantastic book at our local library. It is Nutrition Almanac by Nutrition Search, Inc. Facts : 1. Do you have trouble sleeping? Cut down on caffeine and try hot milk It contains tryptophan (nature's tranquil izer). Heating breaks it up for bettei absorption. 2. Do you have a lot of winter colds? Use vitamin C and garlic. Garlic was used in World War II when antibiotics were scarce. It contains one-fourth the proper ties of penicillin. Haw potato, raw green peppers, and citrus fruits are excellent sources of vitamin C. 3. Do you want a basic food that is economical and nutritious? Try sweet potatoes. They contain almost every known vitamin and mineral. 4. What do you do about ulcers? First of all see you doc tor! Ulcers are painful and can become life-threatening. How ever, you can help the doctor by eating right. Raw cabbage juice and sauerkraut contains Vita min U which can help heal some duodenal ulcers. The entire state of health is a factor and you should use this information only with your doctor's approval. 5. Have you ever heard of Vitamin B13? I hadn't. It is called orotic acid and is found in root vegetables. Don't throw that sour milk away. Add a small amount to corn bread or to a bowl of soup. It also contains Vitamin 13. 6. Are you jumpy-nervous? Cut down on caffeine and alcohol. Drink warm milk and eat a tablespoon of molasses every day. Molasses is good for the nervous system. It contain Vitamin Bl, B2, B6, inositol, etc. 7. Do you like eggs? Eggs are great. They contain vitamins, biotin, choline (Vitamin K). Vitamin K helps form blood clots if a person is injured. 8. Do you want to prevent high cholesterol9 Eat yogurt, onions, and garlic. Remember: many foods can interfere with each other and with prescription drugs. For example tea decreases the effec tiveness of iron. Remember: a little learning is a dangerous thing. Never treat yourself for symptoms. Many diseases are life-threatening and require a doctor's care. Always see your doctor before beginning a new diet. If friends make fun of your new interest in health? tell them to go suck a lemon. You'll be doing them a favor. Lemons con tain bioflavonoids (Vitamin P). Bioflavonoids are essential for the proper absorption of Vitamin C. 1989 is the time of the snake. Eat and drink with caution? and happy new year! LINDA KNIGHT Warrenton Warren Woman Receives Second Copyright Notice A Warren County woman has received her second copyright registration number for an original musical composition. Ms. Thurletta M. Brown re ceived notification from the Of fice of Copyrights in Washington, D.C. only two days before the premier performance of "At Christmastide" on Christmas Eve at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Warrenton. "I had sub mitted the application and fee in October and had been hoping against hope that the anthem would 'really exist' before we performed it," Brown said. The Christmas Eve perform ance featured the solo voices of Arthur Williams, Sam Massey and Alan Floyd, all members of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Chancel Choir. The foundation for the anthem was provided by the combined voices from the choirs of Emmanuel, Warrenton Baptist and Wesley Memorial United Methodist churches. Brass fanfares for the anthem were provided by Rudy Harper of Raleigh. "It took 24 long-distance calls to find him, but we did," Brown said. Voices and organ were united again on Christmas morning for a second performance of "At Christmastide" during the com munity service held at 11 at Wesley Memorial Methodist Church. "It was at the end of that performance that I knew that the song was real and that there might be a market for it among other choir directors," Brown said. Ms. Brown is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thurston T. Brown of Warrenton. Her first copy righted anthem, "Go With God," was performed last January dur ing the farewell service of Fr. Henry Presler, former rector of Emmanuel, All Saints' and the Chapel of the Good Shepherd here. When asked "what's next?" Brown replied that a period of rest from composition was in order. "With Easter staring me in the face already and no recovery time from the rigors of Christmas falling on Sunday last year, there will probably be no more bursts of creative musical energy until after the spring thaw!" A class of drugs found to aid mus cular dystrophic chickens "may lead to the development of safe, effective therapies for humans," according to a neuromuscular disorder special ist at the University of California, Davis. A group of drugs known as gluco corticoids administered to genetically dystrophic chickens increased their muscle function and slowed progres sion of the disease.

Museum Of History 'First Family Fashions' Going On Display From silks and satins to brocades and lace ? inaugural gowns worn by North Carolina's first ladies reflect the styles of their times. Twenty-five gowns worn by governors' families during the last two centuries will be on display in the new exhibit, "First Family Fashions," opening at the N.C. Museum of History Tuesday, Jan. 10. Every four years as North Carolinians inaugurate their governor, part of the festivity is the traditional inaugural ball. In this quadren nial exhibit, North Carolinians can see gowns worn by governors' wives, varied in style and fabnc, but each distinctive. From the oldest? an 1810 Empire style? to the newest? a 1985 red Thai silk? the 25 gowns reflect fashion trends of their periods. Visitors will see the Empire gown of gold silk damask with plaid trim, thought to have been worn by Sarah Herritage Caswell or one of her daughters. Her husband, Richard Caswell was the first gover nor of the state of North Carolina, during the years 1776-1780 and 1784-1787. For the inauguration, Eleanor Kearny Carr, wife of Ellas Carr, governor, 1893-97, wore a two-piece ribbed silk and brown velvet gown with leg ->>' -mutton sleeves, trimmed with lace and beads. She was the first to live in the present Executive Mansion for a full four year term. Annie Burgin Craig, wife of Locke Craig, governor, 1913-17, chose a gown of white chiffon with chenille embroidery and white crystal beading for the ball. Called a "liberated woman" in her time, Annie Craig had a fine sense of humor to brighten the days of World War 1. First of the first ladies to enjoy a profession, Fannie Yarborough Bickett, wife of Thomas Walter Bickett, was committed to social work before and after her husband's term as governor, 1917-21. Helping people was her first love. Fannie studied law at Wake Forest University and passed the state bar exam when she was in her 60s. She was the first woman to serve as president of the N.C. Railroad Company. For the 1917 inauguration Mrs. Bickett wore a gown of black satin and chiffon with beaded trim. Other first ladies have espoused various causes during and after their tenure in the Executive Mansion. Fay Webb Gardner, who lived in the mansion 1929-33, was known as one of the most charming first ladies to occupy the mansion? brightening the scene during the first years of the Great Depression. In her hometown of Shelby, she was active in women's clubs, the Red Cross and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She also was part of the Washington social scene when her husband, O. Max Gardner, was undersecretary of the treasury and ambassador to the Court of St. James. Her inaugural ball gown was of white velvet with sunburst of rhinestones and fishtail train. More recent first ladies have distinguished themselves in many ways. During the World War II years, Alice Willson Broughton en tertained service men and women in the mansion along with such notables as Lily Pons and Katharine Hepbu.Ti. Other guests included her children's pets? a goat and an alligator. Her inaugural gown was white chiffon trimmed with rhinestones. She was the wife of Joseph Melville Broughton, governor, 1941-45. Between 1966-69, Jeanelle Coulter Moore was known for her cam paign to keep North Carolina beautiful. She was founder and remains active today in the Executive Mansion Fine Arts Committe, which supervises the acquisition of fine North Carolina furnishings and accessories for the mansion. Her inaugural ball gown was embroidered white satin brocade with a white peau de soie coat with mink collar and rhinestone clip. The coat was designed and made by Alda Crowe of Lincolnton. Jessie Rae Osborne Scott spent her wedding night in the Executive Mansion as guest of her parents in-law, Gov. and Mrs. Kerr Scott, and returned 20 years later as First Lady. She supervised the beautification of the mansion grounds. Today she is an active volun teer with the National Cancer Society on the national level while holding a full-time job in state government. Her husband, Robert W. Scott, served 1969-73. For her inaugural ball gown, she chose a white and blue silk shan tung trimmed with pearls and rhinestones, also designed and made by Ms. Crowe. Patricia Ann Hollingsworth Holshouser, wife of James E. Holshouser, Jr., governor, 1973-77, chose a silver metallic brocade gown with princess lines and matching coat. She was the youngest first lady and her husband was this century's youngest governor. The couple were the first Republicans to occupy the governor's mansion this century. From an historical standpoint, Mrs. Holshouser considers her par ticipation in saving the present mansion as the home of the governor, (rather than construction of another) her greatest contribution as First Lady. The family moved out of the mansion and returned after the renovation. From a human standpoint, Mrs. Holshouser considers her efforts with mental health, the handicapped and the March of Dimes cam paign among the top achievements while serving as First Lady. Dorothy Ann McAulay Martin's first inaugural gown and match ing coat were of red Thai silk, with neckline bordered with organ za poufs and bell-shaped skirt, designed by Dennis Toney of Don caster, Inc., Rutherfordton. A sketch and description of her new gown will be part of the exhibit. Mrs. Martin devotes a large portion of her time to North Carolina's children and families and promoting the safety, health and well-being of the state's children. She has served as chairman of the Governor's Commission on Child Victimization and is an active participating member of the Governor's Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Among Children and Youth. She also served as chair man of the Governor's Commission for the Family. r The letter T is the second most frequently used letter in books, newspapers and other printed material in English.

Betty Tyson, museum associate curator, explained that display time must be limited to preserve the fragile fabrics.
