To End The North Carolina Heart As sociation resolves In 1968 to do its best to bring to an end the myths that surround heart di sease. Untrue myths and folk lore surrounding heart disease are sometimes more damaging than the disorder. Perhaps one of the most wide ly held misconceptions concern lng heart disease is that once a person has had a heart attack, he cannot work. In truth, most of the victims of heart disease do return to work, once they) have recovered. More often than not they can go back to their old jobs, or In some cases they can be retrained to do jobs of a less strenuous nature. The North Carolina Heart Associa tion points out that ordinary physical effort does not produce heart disease, and many victims of heart attack are actually helped by normal . physical activity. Another myth held by many is that once a person has suffered a stroke, there is nothing that can be done to help. The fact There Is Still Time To Give To Xmas Seal Fund Just an extra push to those who received Christmas seals, to send In their contribution will help . to meet his goal of $8,850.00 set for Pasquotank, 'erqulmans and Camden Coun ties, said Dr. Grant. , Reminders from the Tuber culosis Association have been mailed - these are not "duns", she said, but simply a remind er to those who have allowed the matter to slip from your mind. We are deeply grateful, however, to the many residents who have acknowledged their Christmas Seals. , Even though the Christmas Season has passed, there still Is time to contribute i to the Christmas Seal Fund. Each donation helps to defeat the een curies old menace to mankind. The fight to control TB has been largely centered on dls covering Active Cases in time to prevent the spread of Infection. Last year. North Carolina re pord 1,1-3 new acL s13cscs s-3l"s ' xier' -- j .,tr3 tlons. Dr. Brlnn also stated that this decision is in no way intended to Influence the cote on the pro posed Bond issue on January 13th. This vote and its results are Important to the people of Perquimans County. Whether you favor or oppose this proposition every one should vote. You owe it to yourself s to participate, Nor should his advertised age or statements as to retirement be considered in your decision. Dr. Brlnn states that he does not have any plans for retire ment now or in the near fu ture. Old Ideas is that modern methods of re habilitation can, in many cases, return the stroke victim to a use ful and productive life. Heart murmurs in children is another area of heart disease that has enjoyed folklore In terpretation. The majority of heart murmurs detected in chil dren are of the harmless variety. Modern technology and diagnosis have now made it possible to de termine whether heart murmurs are of the harmless, variety or have concrete medical signifi cance. A child with a heart mur mur is not necessarily a crip ple. He may well be as normal as the child with no murmur at alL v The North Carolina Heart As sociation reminds everyone that while it takes no exception tothe folklore and myths that are part of our tradition, the field of medicine is more aptly served by truth than by misinformation. Above all, the Association suggests that everyone, when they have a question regarding their health, seek the advice of their physician. He can ac curately determine for you what is fact and what is folklore. Jones Visits In Six Northeastern Counties In Week Congressman Walter B. Jones will make official visitations this week in six counties in the north eastern area of his First Dls trlct. ; He will be continuing a series of visits he has started as a means of giving all First Dis trict residents a more direct voice In Washington.

A referendum on the proposed Defensive Driving Courses Are Taught A long-sought goal has been reached by. the Department of Motor Vehicles' Driver Educa tion Division. A "Defensive Driving" course has been taught in each of the state's 100 counties. C.S, Waters, who heads the division, points out that nearly 17,000 persons have taken the eight-hour course this year. "We began teaching; this course, which was devised by the National Safety Council, about two and one-half years ago," Waters said. "It was somewhat slow in getting started, but now, we have a difficult time handling all the requests.". Since June,1965,DMV's Driv er Education has taught more than 400 courses in each of the 100 counties. Greene County was the last to be reached and that course was staged in late Dec ember, 1967. Waters notes that the division cooperates with all types of or ganizations in staging these courses on the local level. It has been taught to professional and civic groups, Industry, busi ness and governmental agencies. The divisional head says re quests have been so fast and fur ious this year that the division has been hard-pressed to find qualified Instructors to teach the course. We nowhave four super visors and 53 driver education representatives in the field," he said.'' Hoffevtoy they must hot only teach defensive driv ing, they must also teach, train and certify high school bus driv ers and teach driver Improve ment clinics for persons at tempting to reduce the number of points accumulated for traffic violations." . Annually, the driver education representatives train about 20,000 school busdrlvers and teach about 6,000 persons in driver Improvement clinic. Add this to the 17,000 persons who took the Defensive Driving courses and the total runs close to 45,000 persons for 1967. Any group or organization in terested in sponsoring a Defen sive Driving course can obtain information by contacting the Driver Education Division, De- Belvin Eure Family Visits In Florida Mr. and Mrs. Belvin R.

In a brief statement, the board said that a new medical clinic Is needed to bring doctors into the small, rural county. partment of Motor Vehicles, Ra leigh, North Carolina. Waters points out the eight hour course is generally divid ed into four, two-hours sections. "We have found that people will accept the two-hour sessions better than they will longer classes," he said. "Al though, we've taught the course in one eight-hour sitting In a day." Defensive driving boiled down to it simplest terms means "look out for the other guy, he may not be looking for you." Generally the course shows the proper ways of driving so as to be prepared for the unex pected on the highways. Among the topics covered are "How To Avoid A Collision," "The Art Of Passing And Being Pass ed," "Mystery Crash The Single Car Wreck," "Prevent able Or Not." "The emphasis for the entire eight hours," says Waters, "is the prevention of conditions which cause accidents." Educational Program For Ambulance Drivers RALEIGH An educational program designed for aubulance attendants and drivers' is going full speed ahead in North Caro lina. The program, which is being offered on a parMlme basis, is administered by technical In stitutes and community colleges. According to Keith Phillippe, supervisor of firemanship train ing for the Department of Com munity Colleges, the pilot pro gram for ambulance attendants and drivers was begun in the fall of 1966 by Durham Technical In stitute. Phillippe explained that the Durham program was not only watched with Interest by North Carolinians, but was "ob served by people from all over the nation." The program is now avail able to be offered by all of the technical institutes and, com munity colleges across the State. The interest in an educational program for ambulance person nel snowballed after the 1967 General Assembly passed a law stating that all ambulance ser vices as well as all ambulance attendants must be licensed by the State Board of Health which, in turn, named the Department of Community Colleges as the agency to administer this train ing. Supervisor Phillippe said, "The program is designed to de velop understanding of and ap HOBTK CflHQLlNA J mm K ';W0M ft " ; License Plates Go On Sate are from 9 -OA ur'"l 5-"' p.m. Mo-1' A m F- - from jn. LU The statement said In part: "Realizing the Importance of se curing doctors to protect the lives of the citizens of the county . . . (we) do hereby en dorse the bond issue to build a medical facility in Perquimans County." Chamber Manager Leon Ed wards said that there is only one practicing physician in the county and that he is 6 8 years old and wants to go lntosemlretlre ment. "We talked with a man from the N.C. Medical Care Commis sion in Raleigh and he told us the only way we can hope to get doctors is to build a clinic." Ed wards said. The commission also urged the Chamber of Commerceto try to get two doctors who started practicing medicine within three years of each other. This would insure they both knew how to operate the Same medical equip ment, the spokesman said, and allow them to relieve each other. Edwards said that the medical facility .and equipment would cost about $125,000. He said that the county commissioners probably would hold the extra $125100 aside and use it for further expansion or to buy more equip ment when heeded. A previous report by the Per quimans County health service indicated that a health center would cost about $175100. The report was prepared for the health sevice by A. Gibson Howell of Suffolk, Va a pro fessional consultant. The Jaycees have madea res olution to support the Bond Issue. preciation for the role of the anv bulance attendant in the care and' transportation cf , th sick and injured. "Classroom discussions," said Phillippe, "Include prin ciples related to administering emergency aid to accident victims, safe transportation of the sick and injured and safe operation of the ambulance. "Student experiences include supervised practice in applying splints, in using resuscitation techniques, in applying dress ings, and in positioning and transporting victims with a variety of conditions, resulting either from accidents or illness es," added Phillippe. Medical doctors representing different specialties lecture to the students on subjects related to their particular fields. Red Cross workers also participate in classroom instruction. According to Phillippe, tech nical Institutes and community colleges plan cooperatively with appropriate personnel in the community each one serves on such matters as class sche dules, total hours of instruction, and instructional personnel. , "Physicians play a leading role in the Instructional pro gram. Other qualified Instruct ors come from various health occupations and from law en forcement agencies," said Phil f.7V t s Cr 3 C -s r i: 10 t j, t; ( i it i i ( l- f r f A' i
