B. Ward of Shallotte, Brunswick County Heart Association Program Chairman, at the annual kick-off dinner held in Calabash Monday night. Mrs. Erma Mintz, Brunswick Heart Chairman, presided over the dinner meet “The Heart Association in singling out atherosclerosis as the No. 1 problem has given formal recognition to a problem that has been recognized by physicians and researchers for a number of years,” said Dr. Ward. “The attack on atherosclerosis by the American Heart Association begins right here in Brunswick County, with other counties of North Carolina pulling together with citizens of other states, making the American Heart as one body. In the field of research funds will be allocated to projects which have the understanding, control and eventual eradication of atherosclerosis as their objective,” Dr. Ward said. “Secondly, the public understanding of hardening of the arteries is considered vital if this problem is to be brought under control,” he continued. In brief, hardening of the arteries is a disease in which the arteries fill up with material known as “plats”. These deposits are made up of animal 1 fats known as cholesterol.

Following their decision of last Tuesday night to call for a Special School Bond Election, members of the Board of Education met Monday afternoon with the County Commissioners. Also present were a group of interested citizens who urged the commissioners not to act in haste, but to take more time to deliberate the matter of the school bond vote. The question of whether there should be two or three schools also came into the discussion. After much talking back and forth, V. A. Creech made a motion that the resolution from the Board of Education be adopted. There was a painfully long period of waiting before D. B. Frink finally seconded the motion. Thereupon it passed by unanimous action of the board. (Continued On Page Pour) Find Probable Cause In Case Probable cause was found against Chapel Nelson, formerly stationed at the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry, after charges of betraying trust of office had been heard in a preliminary hearing in District Court here Tuesday. The charge stems from 51 long distance telephone calls made from the terminal office while Nelson was manager. Probable cause was found during a preliminary hearing by Judge Ray Walton after SBI Agent William Hunt Jr. disclosed findings of a state investigation. The investigation was conducted by Bob Barnes, Audit Department, State Highway Commission. Hunt said he had accompanied Barnes and another SBI to the terminal to talk to Nelson about the findings of the investigation. Hunt said Nelson had told them the telephone calls had been made from the terminal office. But Nelson also said he told the operator to charge the calls to his residential telephone number. Most of the calls were made to the Morehead City-Marshallburg area. Hunt said the report of the probe from the SHC revealed Nelson was a native of that area. Nelson told the man he would be glad to pay for the calls and advised them he planned to quit his job with the State, according to Hunt. At this point in the proceeding, Judge Walton found probable cause. j Colonel Joyner Now In Saigon Terminal Area Colonel Archie B.
