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.

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

pens was gitting stole as fast as
they could replace 'em and most
of 'em was being took by teen

that would steal one of them post

somepun to steal and it goes to
show that kids was Just stealing

I don't reckon they was much

problem fer the parents. But
they was ewe angle to this big

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

I might be like the politician
that told the crowd he was cut

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

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 difference was
small but that difference had

Congress fought long and Hard
in 1963 over Foreign aid and
space funds. 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.

Bible Facta

By: Ella V. Vrtdcc*
God's Postman
One of the most practical
Implications of the great doct
rine of the incarnation is contact
and ocmmunlty contact between
God and the Community of man.
To make that contact. God in
"the fullness of Ttane - set*,
forth His son". (Galatlans 4:4)
"and took upon Him the form
of a servant, and was made in
the likeness of man". Phili
ppians 2:7) For generations
ever since there has been the
written Word." that yt might
believe that Jesus is the christ,
tha son of God. and thatbdasv
Sye might have life through
name.*1 (John 20:91).
It Is a contact that conies from
the^Introduction to the^know
Itself, die Bible.
This calls for witness God'!
postmen who have been con
quered by the message. Al
over America people will tx
receiving the Good News a
Christmas because someom
remembered a lonely patient it
the hospital, the forgotten ag<
in old people homes, the mis
understood delinquent in corr
ectional institutions, the dis
illusioned prisoner in his cell,
the disenfranchised migrant in
his field camp or the sightless
whose fingers leap with jov as
they read tne Braille Story of the
birth of Jesus. All this be
come one of God's postmen like
Mr. Joseph campana,. Mr.
Campane personally delivers a
copy of the Christmas Portion
to each home on his route.
"I deliver my letters-but this
is the most important titer
ever written," "It is God's
message to men."

nid you know that a goodly
" number of newly retired
couples are winding up a bit
hungry about the 25th of each
month?
Apparently nobody else did
either, until a man named Horace
D. Stockmeir started snooping
around.
Mr. Stockmeir has come up
with a study of the budget prob
lems of people recently retired.
He finds some of them serious,
and says it is because "most peo
ple in this country have forgotten
how to nee on a monthly in
He explains that most working
people and some executives have
net been familiar with any kind
af income except a weekly pay
check. At least not in recent
times. "They cash their checks
on Friday night, buy their
groceries on Saturday, have their
fen Saturday night and Sunday,
then coast down their financial
hill until the next Friday night.
"After yean and yean of this,
retirement comes. They are
switched abruptly to a monthly
income. And some of them are
getting into trouble before they
learn how to adjust..."
Mr. Stockmeir points out that
nearly all retirement income ?
pensions, Social Security, an
nuities, etc. ? comes by the
month.

For those on weekly payrolls
who ere now approaching retire

suggestions:
1. Switch from a weekly to e
monthly household budget as

vance of retirement wouldn't he
too soon. The switch will take a
little money because you'll hate
to build up a month's income to
start. You then will budget this
so it will extend over a month,
meanwhile using the weekly per
checks to build up the lump for
next month.
1 Understand that a month ia
not so cooperative as a week. A
week is a neat seven days? al
ways. A month can extend from
28 to 31 days. It is best for meet
people to budget on a dally basis
