In addition to the labor-saving devices now in use on the farm, all rural families are able to enjoy the benefits and comforts made possible through electricity. Modern industries, once confined to the big cities, have sprung up around the countryside, helping provide jobs and payrolls to keep the wheels of commerce turning ... because adequate, economical electric power is available. As pioneers in the electrification of our area, we are proud of having contributed our share to the progress j. .j. and prosperity of our people and this community. RUTHERFORD ELECTRIC MEMRERSHIP CORPORATION BESSEMER CITY CBERRYVILLE By N. C. Heort News Bureau (Part I of a TwoiPart Series) Rembmber when a verdict of “heart disease” meant a life sen tence of semi-invalidism? A long trip away from home was imthinkablc. Distant vacation spots wfere off limits. Today, the North Carolina Heart Association points out, the sky is the limit. Literally. For the cardiac patient whose horiz ons did not extend far beyond nis front yard, modem medicinb and modern aeronautics have opened new vacation vistas. Doctors now have this rule of thumb for persons with cardio vascular disease; If you can walk up the steps to the plane, you can fly. The jet age has all but elimi- naterl the problems of noise, turbulence and prolonged Immo bilization for passengers. Cabins are pressureized, and oxygen is available for those who need it. So. if this is your year to get off to a flying start, the North Carolina Heart Association ad vises, see your doctor and get his clearance for take-off. Before you plan your trip, whether it be by land, air or sea, here are a few more tips from the North Carolina Heart Asso ciation which you don’t find in the vacation folders: If you are on a special diet— low-sodium, low-fat or lowpcat orie: By arrangement in advance through your travel agent, air lines, oeban liners and trains will generally provide meals that fit your diet. So will most hotels and restaurants, if you place your order in advance. However, if you are planning a motor trip and will have to eat on the road, you would do well to carry your own supply of salt substitute and sa..ne low-sodium foods, for example. If you are planning a long au to, bus or train trip: Stretch your legs fevery hour or two. Pro longed inactivity, particularly In a sitting position, can cause cir culatory difficulties with un pleasant complications. Automobile trips should be broken up frequently to give driver and passengers a chance to move around. Such stops are scheduled on long bus trips, and train passengers can move about while the train is in motion. A good night’s rest—each night, and in a bed—is a must. The person who rides through the night asleep in a coach seat may be courting trouble. The earliest appearance of swelling in feet and ankles is a warning signal that the exercise breaks are not frequent enough. It is a good idea also to help the circulation while riding by mov ing your tegs or keeping them propped up. Older persons and those with circulatory inadequa cies should consult their doctor about whether to wear special stockings or leg bindings during long auto or train trips. Whether you are flying, sail ing or motoring: Take along a supply of any imedication you re quire regularly or may need in emergencies. Have your doctor givfc you a spare prescription to hold in reserve. And if you're having a wonder ful time, don’t worry about your postcards sounding trite. ^ SeaBian Leieveis On NATO StaH Larry W.
