Special For Teachers and Students In your art classes why not make the Library some Bookmarks? The Library' will furnish some pictures and scrap cardboard. Need some pictures? We have an abundance of Book Jackets and no room for keeping them. Good for posters, scrapbooks, etc. hai.fmgh You are invited to picture, in your mind's eye, a mod ern American city of 136,151 peo ple. Such a city would contain skyscrapers, parks and playgrounds, busses, taxicabs, and all other modern conveniences. Its main street and those adjacent to it would be crowded with shoppers by day and filled with pleasure seekers by night. If such a city should start losing population today, and within twenty-five years become extinct, that would be just what has hap pened to 136,151 people in North Carolina who died of heart diseases in the past quarter of a century This figure is a startling one and yet, it is correct, according to of fieial renorts made to the State Board of Health. Of the 136,151 heart deaths that have occured in North Carolina in cluding and since 1924, through 1948, 64,781 occurred during Hie past ten years. In North Carolina during last year alone, 8,202 people were victims of diseases of the heart. Increase Was Steady Deaths from heart diseases have steadily mounted during the period under consideration. In 1924, there were 3.465 such deaths reported to the State Board of Health. Last year led all others during the inter vening period, with 8,202 such deaths, according to figures just released by the State Board of Health's Bureau of Vital Statistics. All vital statistics for 1948 have now been compiled, in a provis ional report. During the year, there were 111,963 live births and 30,560 deaths from all causes. Of this total, 17,052, or considerably more than one-half, resulted from just four causes diseases of the heart, 8,202: intracranial vascular lesions, or strokes, 3,449; cancer, 2,898; and nephritis, or Bright s Disease, 2,503. Studying further the vital statist ics picture of 1948, as revealed in the State Board of Health's annual report, it is noted that, during last year, there was not a single death from malaria in North Carolina. Diptheria was responsible for 26 deaths, as compared with 33 in 1947. Measles claimed only five lives during the year, which was just one fifth of the number re ported in 1947. Polio Toll Heavy Iufantile paralysis, unfortunate ly, was responsible for 139 deaths during 1948. as compared with 21 in 1947. There need be no explan ation for this enormous increase, further than to call attention to the epidemic which plagued this state during the latter half of the year. Deaths from all forms of tuber culosis, in 1948, totaled 952. This was a decrease under 1947, when the total was 1,065. In spite of the fact that it is now preventable, typhoid fever continues to claim a few lives. Last year there were only six. According to the Stale Board of Health's method o f compilation, automobile accidents were respon sible for 825 deaths during 1948, while other accidents resulted in 1,455 deaths, making a total of 2,280, a majority of which could have been prevented. Other Vital Statistics Increases were shown in both suicides and homicides during last year. The number of suicides re ported to the State Board of Health was 320, as compared with 3 15 in 1947, while homicides numbered 415 against 409 the pre ceding year. Diabetes took a heavy toll during the year registering 556 deaths for the period under consideration. This was a slight decrease under the 571 reported t h e preceding year. URGANA. Ill (UP) Arthur j Witt, Jr., a University of Illinois student, goes fishing da'ly in a fish bowl. He hopes to determine how long it takes a fish to learn the difference between a worm that's free and a worm that's at tached to a hook. Witt tossc a free worm into the howl. It is gobbled by the fish. Then he lowers a worm attached lo a wire. If the fish grabs for this one he gets the "shock of his life." for the wire is hooked to a battery. for this one he gets the "shock of his life," for the wire is hooked to a battery.
