Big floor heating performance in a COMPACT CABINET! St. Valentine's Day We have in history several Saint Valentines and most are linked to February 14th. There are several versions of how Valentine's Day became a day for lovers but probably the most reasonable explanation is that the custom grew out of the general belief of the Middle Ages that birds began to mate on February 14th. As early as the fifteenth century English writers refer to the day as one when birds (and maybe humans! ) choose mates. And it became the custom in many countries for names of youngsters to be drawn from boxes on the 14th. Gifts were then exchanged between the boys and girls paired. Costume balls are a feature of Valentine's Day and in coun tries where Mardi Gras or Fasching celebrations are extravagent there is always a gala celebration that day or night. In this country youngsters often exchange Valentine cards, - which frequently hint at tender or timid affection. Sometimes they're left by the door, un signed. Few will forget their first Valentine, when nature first begins to work its magnetic force on unsuspecting children starting life's long road. won I i ! ill Til r.n Mil r ism mi if fJljWJMal 1 Naturally, Its a patented I IEGLER I OIL HOME HEATER m i I wetn' low! j4v I Only 33" high yt I it heats like magic!

And this time they are broadening their target to in clude users as well as manufacturers and advertisers of tobacco products. The assault was opened last week in hearings staged by the Senate Commerce Consumer Subcommittee chaired by Senator Frank Moss of Utah, a long-time foe of the leaf in dustry, with an immediate indication that the goal will be an imposition of further restrictions on the tobacco trade. The proposal being used as a focal point for the hearings is a bill (S. 1454) which would give the Federal Trade Commission authority to set arbitrary cigarette quality standards. Even before the hearings opened, however, Chairman Moss made it clear he has other targets in mind as well. One would be consideration of legislation restricting smoking in public places and on in terstate transportation facilities. Another would be an effort to expand the Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969 to include little cigars such as the R.J. Reynolds new Winchester brand. And, finally, the plan would call for additional pressure on the broadcast industry to in crease the number of anti smoking commercials despite the ban on radio and television advertising of cigarettes. I consider these proposals FUFvS OIL STATION v .snook Bar and FisMag FaoZZat State Medical Society Meets In Edenton Recent medical advances in the treatment of heart disease, renal disease and stroke was presented to physicians from Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hert ford, Pasquotank and Perquimans Counties when they gathered in Edenton on February 9 for a meeting of State Medical Society District 1. The meeting, organized by William DeMaria, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics at Duke University, was held in the Edenton Restaurant from 4-8 p.m. Edward G. Bond, M.D. Councilor for the 1st District, served as moderator. "Recent Advances in . the Treatment of Heart Diease" was addressed by Robert Rosati, M.D., Instructor in Medicine at . the Duke University School of Medicine. The second afternoon speaker was James Clapp, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke. His topic "Recent Advances in the Treatment of Renal Disease." Following dinner, Ng Khye Weng, M.D., Associate in Medicine, Division of Neurology, at the Duke University Medical Center, discussed "Recent Advances in the Treatment of Stroke." The District 1 meeting was one of a series of meetings sponsored by the North Carolina Regional Medical Program in cooperation with the Duke, U.N.C., and Bowman Gray Schools of Medicine and the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina. unwarranted, excessive and a serious threat to North Carolina's agricultural and industrial economy and to the broadcast industry in the state. For that reason I expressed my strong opposition to them in testimony before the sub committee on the first day of the hearings and will continue to oppose them with all the resources at my command. Because the issue is of such vital interest to the state, I am including in this report the full text of my statement to the subcommittee. Mr. Chairman.: As every member of this subcommittee knows, North Carolina leads the nation in tobacco production and manufacturing. Even so, some of you may not be fully aware of the part that tobacco plays in the state's total agricultural and industrial economy. Let me stress, then, that in appearing here this morning 1 am speaking for an estimated 200,000 Tar Heel farm families who depend on this crop for a living, and for a multi-million dollar industry that employs thousands of other wage earners as well as influencing employment in many other enterprises. They have a vital stake in these hearings and in the proposals for further restric tions on the leaf industry which it appears you are preparing to consider. So, I might add, has every North Carolinian and every American who believes in basing decisions on facts rather than assumptions and who cherishes the right to make independent judgments -on the products he chooses to use. If I correctly interpret the goals outlined for your sub committee, I am impelled to say they represent a further excursion into the realm of federal control which has already exceeded the bounds of justification and necessity. It seems that what you may be trying to enact is a sort of mini-prohibition law for tobacco and its users. I don't think you are going to get it. Let me assure you that I share your interest in the elimination of any elements of tobacco that can be shown to constitute a health hazard. I have consistently supported, and will continue to press for, scientific research by the government and the tobacco industry to achieve that pur pose. Attempts of the Surgeon General and the Department of HEW to make a case on the basis of generalities, un supported assertions and assumptions, have in my judgment served only to cloud the issue and to delay the search for true and verifiable facts. Certainly they provide no foundation for the kind of legislation it appears that you have in mind and in the form proposed in one bill you already have before you. . I speak of course, of S. 1454, which would propose a maximum limit on the tar and nicotine content of cigarettes. That bill purports, first of all, to identify an "incriminated agent" and proposes to set standards for which no precise scientific basis has been determined.

We should also remember that while the dcstruri'. t.r Jerusalem for her sins was a purely "local " event, nil, i i : c only a certain segment of people, the Bible pro lecUn 1 :fu timelessly throughout the history of mankind also fon h ;is of another day of judgment . . . one which is to afleci "ie whole world! s In the phrase "distress of nations" our attention shut' t directed to the conditions existing in the world totiu . m "m own times.
