According to the state lieart group, whatever cuts short that ' "whole life span” is either a dis ease or an accident, and the com plex of heart and circulatory dis- : orders are diseases as specific as j ver repaired. malaria, gout or cancer. Heart trouble is not an inevi table part of aging. But only in the twentieth century have phy sicians recognized that heart dis eases, with causes tliat can be found, — treatment and preven tion that can be developed from And this is the challenge We know a gootl deal about how ar teries harden and bl.HHl clots, l)ut not enough to prevent or re- veise the hardening proct'ss or stop heart attacks. We know a good deal about how the heart beats, but not enough to prevent the muscle from weakening or the beating mechanis.m from fal tering. We know how to control high blood pressure, but we still do not know what causi-s most cases. These are research jobs still to be done and the Ameri can Heart Association and its I affiliates are putting about $11 j .million into heart i esearch this ! year, with about $2.50 thousand alloeatixl to investigators at •North Carolina mwlical centers. The ultimate aim of all medi- ! cine is not treatment or cure, a knowledge of causes. That is | but prevention. The ultimate aim why medical scientists, such as i of the Heart Association is to those at Duke, Bowman flray, | give people freedom from disor- and the University of North Car- i ders of the heart and circulation olina at Chapel Hill, are now j during the first century of life, makinig a massive worldwide ef- j Therefore, a large proportion i fort in heart research.

These are the enzymes, the hormones, the celluiar proteins, the fat mole cules, the salts and minerals out of which iife is made. Imbalances of these chemicals set up chains of events that lead to clinical dis ease. As these processes are iden tified and understoo<l, it will be possible to counteract the imbal ances before disease develops. While this basic research con tinues, clues, partial answers, and educated guesses are being brought forward by investigat ors To give Timothy Tarheel the benefit of this researeh progress, year by year, the North Carolina Heart Association keeps its phy- clans informed so that they can help him guard his heart. It is not known, for example, wh.at causes heart attacks, but broad studies of population groups show that coronary heart disease is associated with high blood pressure, a high level of blood fat, obesity, excessive cigarette smoking, and a family history of heart disease. Therefore, physi cians, are gro^ving inemeasingly watchful of these signs long be fore a heart attack may occur. As knowledge about heait dis ease advances, the North Caro lina Association, through Tim othy Tarheel’s doctor, hopes to translate that knowledge into added years of life. It is true, of course, that one out of one person must die of sutnething. However, the lay and progress, says the North Caro lina Heart Association.

The following article by the North Carolina Traffic Sa'fety Council, Inc. explair: current laws governing .qu-id limits on North Carolina high ways and laws relating to li cense suspension for speeding convictions. No one vioi.ation accounts for as many highway deaths as speed. Speed not only makes ac cidents more likely; it makes death in accidents more likely. 12,500 pounds, the limit is 45 mph. I On certain highways the limit I may be fixed and posted at GO mph for passenger vehicles and 150 mph for trucks. On interstate highways, the speed limit for all vehicles (ex cept activity and loaded school buses) may be set at 65 mph. 4, For loaded school buses, the maviinin ■' 35 mph. For school activity buses, the limit is -15 Tiph. 5. S.'iecial speed limits, higher -IT lower than the above, may ce posted by State and local author ities for special areas, except that 65 mph is the top legal lim it. Routine Docket Aired Monday A routine docket was aired hi Monday’s .session of Kings Moun tain Recorder’s Court at whJcli time Judge George Tliomassor. handed down tile following sen tences: If you hit a stone wall at 20 mph, the impact would be the same as if you drove yaur cai off the top of a building one story high. Howes’er, the force in the .same collision at 10 mph would be not twice, but four times as great. It wcjld he the same as though you drove you. car off the top of a four story building. The impact in a head-on collision with another car at en mph is an amazing 200,000 pounds, or 100 tons. Speed Restrictions There at'e a number of law? dealing with speed but the basic one is simply the rule a! common sense: No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under existing condi- tions_ The "existing conditions” are constantly changing as you drive. One minute you are roll ing through open country. The next minute you are driving through a small community. Lat er you may be passing through a school zone or be in a congest ed business district. Your sr.fety depends upon constant attention to adjust your speed to changing traffic conditions. Other condi tions such as weather, light, sight distance, speed of other traffic, type of road surface, car condition, and your own physical condition are equally important. Maximuc Speed Limits In addition to the “reasonable and prudent rule" there are var ious specific limits set hy law: 1. In a business district, the maximum is 20 mph for all ve hicles. 2. In a residential district, the maximum is 35 mph for all ve hicles. 3. On the open road, unless posted otherwise, the maximum limit for passenger vehicles is 55 mph. For trucks over three-quar ter ton, and for vehicles towing trailers licensed for more than Minimum Speed Limits On the prlnary and interstate systems, iiuiiimiim speed limits are in effect for passe.-iger ve- I hides. The minimum limit is 40 j mph in a 55 zone and 45 mph in tO and 65 zone.s. However, these limits can be enforced only when | ippropriate signs are oosted. 1 "jtpensions For Speeding Con- ! victions I A person's license must Ih.' sus- ; . 1 pended for 30 days if he is con , victed .of exceeding the speed | limit by more than 15 mph, pro vided that he was also driving | n ev-r'p-.s of .55 mph. In addition, j he Dep.artment of Motor Ve . iiiclcs iiuiy impoi-e a G-monUis i suspension if a person Is convict ed twice within a period of 12 month.s for speeding over .55 mph but not more than '15 mph. Upon one conviction of over 75 mph, the Department may suspend for a perioti up to one year Any speeding convictions not covered above carr.v a two point penalty under the P-,>int System. Accumulation of 12 points within a thrceyear period may result in suspension for as long as 606 days. Special Rules For Provisional Licensees A provisional licensee is any licensee under IS years of age and the Depsu'tment must take the following aclirn regarding suspension far moving viola tions: 1. For conviction of a second motor vehicle violation, in any twelve-month period, thirty (30) days; 2. For conviction of a third such violation, in any tw«d\'e month period, three (3) months. 3. For conviction of a fourth such violation, in any twelve- month period, one (1) year; 4. For convictioin of one such violation in connection with a motor vehicle accident resulting in personal injury or property damage of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or more, sixty (60) days. 1 Prayer for judgment was con ' tinned in the case against Henr\ j Whunant. 19, of 109 Norih Tra j cy Stiwt for assault with a dead ! ly weapon. i Mack Lefevers, 10, of 506 Lhi I wood Street, was found not guil- ' ty of simple trespassing.
