VRAR O.TO O.SO Best Advice For 65 - Is Slay Alive trooaoy we Dest advice for the New Year comes from the Raleigh News and Observer's Sam Ragan who writes: "And in the year of Sixty Five Our best advice is stay alive.' The North Carolina Heart Association offers a seven-point New Year's resolution for adoption by the state's adults - especially those under 65 years of age: "Resolved that in 1965, I will take all possible precautions to reduce my risk of heart attack." 1965 is the.year of "Hope for Hearts" the North Carolina Heart Association's 12 month emphasis campaign on the hopeful aspects of the nationally-coordinated war against heart disease. The heart group, jn proposing its New Year's ^resolution, cites a number of health measures available to improve the individual's chances of avoid ing (or at least delaying) a heart attack or stroke. The proposed "Hope for Hearts" mea sures are especially important for men and women in "high risk" groups - for example, if they or their families have shown a ten dency to these illnesses. But everyone, the Heart Association emphasizes, can benefit by taking the following precautions: 1. See your doctor for regular check-ups so that he can determine whether you have any of the established "risk factors"-such as a high blood level of the fatty substance known as cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and some others. 2. Reduce if overweight. Obesity, especi ally in combination with high blood pres sure, is a heart hazard. And obesity raises the risk of high blood pressure. 3. Under the doctor's guidance, eat less fat, and while you are cutting down on fats reduce the amount of animal fats you eat ?? wm mm mm mm mm an m m and raise the amount of vegetable oils and fish. This type of dietary change will ac complish two things: it will lower total calories and make it easier for you to maim tain ideal weight, and it will tend to lower blood cholesterol. Blood cholesterol tends to go up when the diet is high in animal (sat urated) fats, tends to go down when the diet is proportionately high in vegetable oils and other polyunsaturated fats. 4. Control high blood pressure. If a phy sical examination discloses that you have high blood pressure, cooperate with your doctor in following the regimen he prescrib es- chiefly drugs and diet changes - to bring it under control. This, in itself, may add years to your life, since chronic hi"h blood pressure adds significantly not only to the risk of heart attack but is also an important factor in stroke and kidney disease. 5. Cut down or quit smoking cigarettes, if your doctor suggests. Studies indicate that death rates from heart attacks in mid dle-aged men range from 50 to 200 percent higher among cigarette smokers than among non-smokers, depending on the amount smoked. And there is evidence that, with time, the risk of having fatal heart attacks among persons who stop smoking cigarettes that found in persons who never smoked. 6. Exercise regularly. 7. Shun needless tensions. About 3^100 North Carolinians under <5 die of heart attack each year while the total at all ages is about 10,000. An additional 4,000 of the state's citizens die of strokes, about one-fifth at ages under 65. The same pre cautions are generally helpful in reducing the risk of both conditions, the North Caro lina Heart Association suggests. j Uncle Pele From I S CHHtlin Switch 5V: | i ? DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I was reading some figgers pat oat the other day by the Census Bureau that had ought to git us older folks shook up. They was announcing that 3.1 million boya and girls in this country reached the age of 17 this year and that it was around a million more than last year. Farthermore, they figger it will increase another million next year. And out of them 3.1 mil lion gitting to be 17 this year, 298,000 was now married, and 1 out of ever 3 was already di vorced. And along with them figgers, the FBI announced teen-age crime was at a all time high in the nation. Fer instant, post of fices was claiming ball point pens was gitting stole as fast as they could replace 'em and most of 'em was being took by teen agers. Anybody, Mister Editor, that would steal one of them post office pens was hard up fer somepun to steal and it goes to show that kids was Just stealing fer the devilment of it I don't reckon they was much the general public can do about teen-age marriages, divorcee, and crime. This has got to be a problem fer the parents. But they was ewe angle to this big that has get to be met by the Where was all them yeung*uns ; firing to school? School houses coming on fast. As a nation it seems to me we was meeting this school problem from the hindsight position. We dont do nothing about it till the river gits out of its banks, then we patch the banks and wait till he next flood. It makes me recollect a talk I had onct with my banker. He said that most fellers that comes in fer a loan bases Us worth on what he plans to do tomorrow but the bank has to figger his worth on what he done yester day. In this problem of gitting teachers and schools fer the mil lions of kids that was coming on, it looks like we was hoping too much fer tomorrow and ain'st done enough yesterday. Well, I reckon I better cut my little sermon on schools short I might be like the politician that told the crowd he was cut ting his speech short on account if he didn't some feller had sent word he was going to cut his throat Actual, Mister Editor, I ain't got no license to discuss school problems, and Tut serving notice right here I ain't running fer the School Board. They didat have but 8 grades when I was a youngtin and I had more trou ble gitting through the last grade than MacArthur had git' ting across the Yalu River, but I believe mighty strong we got to edoeate them millions st kids that is coming along if we was to have the right kind et a Ysart (ndy, REV. ROBERT H. HARPER THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ELECTION rphese line* arc written after the -L recent election of a President of the United States. And I am left to think about it not entirely of the issues decided but chiefly of the bitterness of the campaign and some things that might hare been left off. There is a story of an old man who had lived in the same com munity all his life and with a good reputation, so far as he knew. Then he decided to seek some local office. And soon he came home to his wife as a broken-hearted man to tell her that he did not know that many people thought so ill of him. Thus, if a man announces for of fice, he is likely opening the door to vituperation and even slan der. This is certainly the case in many instances in the campaign elwring And now that we know the men who shall shape the des tinies of our Nation during the coming four years, let all of us invoke, like George Washington, the "divine Parent" of the human raee for U bbsrisg^and jprtd J\. WISH FOR yVLL SENATOR SAM ERVIN ? SAYS * m In a few days Congress will convene and sixteen days later President Johnson will begin a new term of office. Much has been said in recent days about the legislative program for the new Congress. On the eve of these expectations, a helpful guide might be found in the review of the out-going 88th Congress. The 88th Congress was a cautious one in many respects. In Its early days it did not agree to many of the programs it later embraced. A change came with the death of President Kennedy. The tragedy brought emotions into play that had not ? heretofore been present in leg islative considerations. It also < brought a personality in to the White House who understood the new mood of the congress, in a few months, what nad been a legislative stalemate turned into a series of Administration victories. The tax reduction and civil rights measures fall into this catagory. Mass tran sit, the cotton-wheat bill, fore ign aid, and the Federal pay raise were other Administrat ion successes that had stirred controversies in the month be fore. Foreign policy changed less with the Presidential success ion than did domestic policy. The cold war, after the Cuban missile crisis, was aireadvun dergoing considerable shifting as a result of arguments en gaged in between Russia and China. Vietnam, long a pro blem, grew into a crisis in August of this year. Congress responded with a unity Resol ution to support President John son's policy after the Gulf of Tonkin incident. All in all, in the two years of the 88th Con gress there was a gradual less ening of tension among the major world powers. What causes President John son's Administration's great legislative success is at best an opinion. President Kennedy prophesied at his last news con ference that success would come with an 18-month con gressional delivery. Therewas an emotional attitude following president Kennedy's death that swept the nation. Equally eff ective, was the sure and ex perienced hand at the helm in legislative matters which Pres ident Johnson exhibited time and time again on important matt ers. Influential too, was the change of pace that came with the new president. Fundamental In this was a new concept in "prud ence in government", and a par ing of the first Johnson budget to $97.9 billion from the pre vious Kennedy budget of $98.8 billion.

The economy move lessened these fights and met a growing congressional object ion. Foreign aid got an admin istrative budget slice of $1 bill ion in 1964 and a long fight over the bill did not occur this year. It is premature to assess the prospects of legislation likely to come before the new Con gress. Events often change the attitude about a measure in a matter of days. Yet, it is likely that much of the success or failure of upcoming legislative proposals will rest upon the manner in which they fit into the still formidable drive to hold die line on Fedefal de-i ficits. The majority of the Congress felt that spending pro posals were too great in 1963 and more in line in 1964. This made a substantial difference in thd two sessions. GETTING TNK NEWS ^ ali?? ??
