I I JOY AND PAIN...The Midway Lounge on Statesville Avenue usually hums with a regular rhythmical beat on Mondays’ fun nights. However, last Monday night the beat was irregular_and the hum rose, several octaves. At times the pitch was really feverish. The reason for the unevenness of the tempo was the NCAA Championship basketball game. An ordinary Mon day night consists of games of backgam mon, dominoes, whist, chess and uno, embellished with the serving of delicious chicken wings. Last week the games were the same, only inten sified by the excite ment of another game uiai piuea me All American Tarheels BOB JOHNSON against the minorities’ favorite Hoyas. The conversations were brisk and appre hensively dovetailed tasatisfying the finan cial arrangements made at some earlier time. The overall atmosphere resembled that of a stock exchaiige with prices rising and falling with every basket made by these two evenly matched teams. The eventuaUoy and pain of it all came shockingly into focus when Fred Brown of Georgetown made an errant pass into the hands of UNC’s James Worthy with eight second left on the clock. And just like in the 0 movies, the All-American team takes out. It was clearly rApristoroH in tho nf the basketball enthusiasts, how they felt in their hearts and in their pockets. Since the game was a by-product of the evening, it didn’t take long for the regular rhythm to return. Curt Ardrey, William Boyer, Billy Whit- * mire, Mr. and Mrs. David Young, Diane Wingard, Myrina Dawkins, Gloria Tatum, Gwen Diggs, Ida Austin, Calvin Harris, Steve Morris and Howard Swift were just a few of the people caught up in the pulsations of a memorable fun night.

Control The Aging Process - r- —.— Sty Of Life By Ernest Messer ' Special To The Post . RALEIGH - Age is only a state of mind. We’ve all seen people who are old at 20; while others are youth ful at 90. We all get older, but we eon control the aging pro. cess. If we begin early to take care of ourselves, by drinking and anting in moderation and eating a nutritious diet, we can add to our years of product ivity. It is never too late to take care of yourself. An active 60 or 70 year old person can prolong those good supple i : years. The body needs plenty of exercise. Estab lish an exercise routine and stick to it. A good run or walk can alleviate stress, stimulate your mind, and keep your body youthful and useful. -Keep busy. ThaTs "HTI^ other good health rule that becomes more important -as-you_grow older. If a person works all of his life, and then suddenly retires, it can be a demoralizing experience. Some older people become inactive. It may take a little effort to get out of bed in the morn ing but everyone should get up, and keep a schedule of work. They will feel better. A person should work as long as possible. He will retain an interest in life, and keep his mind and body alert. We have excellent pro —grama in North Carolina to help the older adult stay healthy, but it is up to each individual. He alone can take that first step to a fulfilling older life. An older adult must make the decisions that lead to being alert and active or being bedridden. Troopers Do More Than Write Tickets? 4 .

According to Jenkins, trooper* ere often credited with uving the live* of accident victim* or citizen* who experience cardiac arrest or other potentially fatal attacks.
