Schools Receive
$300 From The
Blue-White Game
(CoathMMd From Page One)
Superintendent Harry C. Corbin
by Oris E. Croirt, president of
the Rhododendron Civitan Club
of Asheville, sponsors of the
big prep all-star basketball
game.
According to Superintendent
Corbin, the Rhododendron
Civitan Club annually sponsors
the game in order to show off
the area’s finest high school
senior basketball players, and
to raise funds to be used by
the Special Education depart
ment of the schools in Bun
combe and surrounding coun
ties.
The proceeds are equally di
vided between the schools of
the participating players in the
Blue-White game, with the
Buncombe county schools shar
ing the proceeds one year, and
the schools of the surrounding
counties gettting a share the
next year.
Brevard High’s Joe Washing
ton was an outstanding per
former in this year’s Blue
White game, and since this is
the yea* that the surrounding
county schools split the pro
ceeds, the local school system
received the $300 grant.
Mr. Corbin stated that the
local schools were most pleased
to receive the money and that
it would be put to use at once
in assisting the Special Educa
tion program here.
He also praised the Rhodo
dendron Civitan Club for the
fine work that they are doing
in sponsoring the annual all
star game and in assisting the
Special Education programs of
the schools of Western North
Carolina.

Steer Clear of Symptoms
YOU SAY in your columns
that you avoid describing
symptoms.
How else can a reader de
cide what could he wrong with
him?
Mr. J. S„ N.Y.
Dear Mr: 8.: In one news
paper, the following statement
appeared in a
discussion of a
particular dis
ease:
“ S y m p -
toms such as
itching:, fever,
headache, gen
eral aches and
pain, and di
arrhea can be
gin about a
month later,
and last sev
era! weeks.” It goes on to say
that months or years there
after patients with these
symptoms can die from seri
ous damage to the liver, the
spleen, the bowel and other
organs, including the spinal
cord.
Now, if you were a sensi
tive, somewhat fearful person
won’t you agree that reading
these symptoms might induce
in you a sense of terror if you
had one or more of these com
plaints?
Yet every doctor knows that
any of these symptoms, alone
or in combination with each
other, might well suggest 30
or 40 different conditions.
Even physicians, with their
highly trained diagnostic
knowledge, would have to
study the problem intensively
to arrive at the true diagnosis.
How then could a reader,
especially a nervous one, be
benefited by any run-down of
symptoms?
The symptoms described
above actually refer to a rare
disease known as “snail fe
ver,” or schistosomiasis.
You can see how easy it
would be to apply everyday,
rttn-of-the-mill symptoms to
this rare disease, and lire in
terror that you might hays it
I hope this clarifies for you
and other readers why Z re
fuse to describe symptoms,
and to encourage self-diagno
sis.
You ask how else a reader
can decide what’s “wrong
with him.” He must not be
expected to make that deci
sion. Hie only way to under
stand any combination fit
symptoms is to tell them to
your doctor and ask him to
ferret out the cause.

Are children bom to first
cousins more prone to birth
abnormalities?
Miss B. R., Toronto
Dear Miss R.: A recent
study suggests that more »««
95% of such marriages will
bring forth perfectly normal
children.
There are, however, greater
chances of abnormalities if
there is a family .history of
birth defects and mental re
tardation in the bloodline of
these cousins.
There now are many gen
etic counselors who can ad
vise you more specifically
after carefully scanning the
total history of the family.
For first cousins contem
plating marriage, this is a
very worthwhile investment in
family happiness.

The Sorrow that I Bear”
Dear Lord, please help me bear
the sorrow
I feel today,
Because my Grandfather passed

Because I can’t believe its true,
My grandpa was eighty-one^

I loved him so much, it’s hard
to say,
Just how I feel this day.

If you want to meet new people at
parties, seminars and get-togethers.
Travel in town, out of town and out of
the country at reduced rates. And if you
want to enjoy discounts at your favorite
stores and restaurants. How come you’re
not a Young Carolinian?
All it takes is 3 bucks a month
($3.50 for couples) and a regular checking
account with us. The checks are free.
And so is $10,000 worth of Accidental
Death Insurance.
But if you want free checking
regardless of your balance, low-cost
consumer loans (10% reduction in finance
charges) and your insurance increased to
$25,000 (we call it the Advantage), then
how come you’re not a Young Carolinian?
The Advantage doesn’t cost any more
in dues. All it takes in addition is an
FBC/Master Charge Card, a First Checkloan
that lets you write a check for more
money than you have in the bank. And a
$50 savings account with a $20 monthly
automatic savings transfer (which you
should be doing anyway).
So stop in at your First Union National
Bank. And let’s make tomorrow together.
