The State Board of Health went on to list the leading causes of death by age groups, color and sex in North Carolina for a five - year period, 1963 through 1967. This five year average bears out the fact that after age 25, the leading cause of death in North Carolina is heart disease. Preceding the age of 25, the Number One killer of Tar Heelians is accidents. As Dr. Paul Dudley White, a founder and past president of the American Heart Associa tion, states, “Heart disease is the epidemic of our time.” The statistics tell the story. For every one in dividual who dies on our highways, 128 die from heart disease. Over three times as many people are the victims of cardiovas cular disorders as succumb from cancer annually. The North Carolina Heart Association suggests that everyone see their doctor for a check-up an nually. Minutes Os Board Public Works Edenton, N. C. September 3, 1968.

Three things there are that come not back: The arrow shot along its track, It will not swerve, it will not stay, It flies to strike and wound and slay! The hasty word returneth not— Though quickly spoke and soon forgot, In many hearts it lingers still To do its work for good or ill. And golden opportunity— That too will not return to thee. Thou mayest weep and plead and yearn. These three will never more return. It is true that this clever verse states things that slip away, never to return. But it is a wonderful fact that there is always a tomorrow. And tomorrow we can carefully shoot another ar row—and speak a carefully chosen word—and look for another opportunity. It’s wonderful to know that we can have sec ond chances—and third, and fourth, if necessary OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: “Prepare yourself for new adventures—they are coming your way.” Colonial Funeral Home Edenton, North Carolina Received from merchan dise, $1,808.40.
