Heat Waves Ca
By JOANNE FALLS
Home Economics Extension Agent
When the temperature reaches 90-100 degrees outside,
it is very easy for people who own electric fans and air
conditioners to forget how hot it can become in homes
without these conveniences. Many times, people are so

on elderly and sick relatives and friends to see how they
are coping with the heat wave problems.
News reports show that 56 Americans died during the
last two weeks in July as a result of the heat wave. Many
of these were elderly people. These are the places where
the heat wave deaths occurred: North Carolina 5,
Georgia 10, St. Louis 27, Indiana 6, Missouri 3 (Outside
the St. Louis area), Illinois 7, Minnesota, Maryland, New
York, and Kentucky, one death each.
Since St. Louis had nearly one half of the nation's total
9 of the heat wave deaths during the last two weeks in July,
people began to ask what caused so many people to die in
St. Louis. These were the reasons
by authorities:
1. The temperature had been over
100 degrees in St. Louis for four days I
in succession. ?
2. Authorities said that elderly peopie
who were worried about crime
stayed indoors with their doors and
windows closed. They were afraid to
try to get fresh air.
3. Some of the brick homes in St. ^ nmXL?^
Louis have flat tops which are heavily Falls
insulated to keep the heat in during the very cold winter
months. But in the summer, the flat roofs tend to soak up

Perhaps the most common of today's ills is depression.
Practically everyone gets depressed to some extent, at
some time. Depression is usually the direct result of the
tremendous amount of energy -- emotional and physical
that is used to cope with today's many problems and
complexities of living. One usually thinks that he has

the heat until some of the walls become too hot to touch.
The National Leader printed the following comments
from various officials in different locations concerning
the heat wave:
Chattanooga, Tennessee Human Services Director
Evelyne Barnett said, "The poor and the elderly people in
low income housing projects are afraid to open their windows
because of the crime rate, so they are sitting in there
and baking".
Fans were being handed out and emergency relief
centers were in operation in Tennessee and St. Louis.
Volunteers organized to help with the problem.
"My biggest worry is people do not believe they, too,
can become another heat-wave digit in the death total,
said William Hope, City Health Commissioner of St.
Louis.
Dr. Stanley Schuman of the" University of South
Carolina said: "In a heat wave such as this, if you are
driving home and get caught in a traffic jam and someone
bumps your fender, you ought to think take down your
license number."
As the mercury shot past 100 degrees in South
Carolina, and the flaring heat wave went into its 11th
day, doctors warned people to keep their tempers.
Some homemakers try to crowd a lot of extra work in
to house and yard chores regardless of what the outside
temperature happens to be. They feel that they have to
carry out a planned schedule.
During summer heat waves, all homemakers would be
wise to cut down on extra work activities and keep closc

When one becomes unhappy as the result of his man;

himself. He actually dislikes himself because of his in

But I know it has affected others. But it's a good thing
that they're striking to show that the natural monopolies
don't control everything."
Burnell Sherrod, teacher: 44It hasn't bothered me but it
has affected my husband. He has to make a lot of long
distance calls on his job, and he can't make them effectively
since they're on strike."
Edward Reese, factory operator. "It hasn't affected
me yet in making phone calls. I think it should be settled
and I hope they get it settled."
Li/lie McManus, CWA wireman: "Times are hard and
this is making it worse. I need a raise and the company
wants to take some of my benefits. That's not right.

the company if it was in need. If an employee is good to
an employer, it should be both ways."

depressed person is crying out for help and attention. He

not know how to do so.
The causes of depression are innumerable: worry over
bills and health; worry over a love affair; worry about
growing old; fear of failure on a test or in a job interview;
fear of loss of job; hypersensitivity to criticism; anxiety;
