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.

DICK'S
DDIUB-in
Washington Report
WASHINGTON - Anti
smoking forces in the govern
ment and on Capitol Hill have
launched a new attack on the
tobacco industry. .
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

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.

ENDURANCE AND THE CHRISTIAN HOPK
International Sunday School Lesson for February i .
Lesson Text : Luke 17 : 20-37 ; 21 : 5 -38
Our studies today lie in the realm of predictive si Tip'
and the factors which are rampant in the world scent' t.
should give us pause for thought as we read of Christ s -t .
coming. Hopefully this lesson will serve as an 't:
reminder of our personal obligations in Christian tit i
ment!
Facing imminent death. Christ addressed Hit,
preparing His beloved disciples for what was to con:, t
made no promises that what they would face would tic
rather. He warned that they would face much suffcrm.: .ui
persecution as they applied themselves to Spreading (..' s
word without the comfort of the physical presence m
Master beside them. They were, however, to he hf.-i
many times by the remembrance of His promise
would be with them in the Spirit, and the sure knowk'ilt '
they were in the ever supportive hands of God.
Watchfulness. and disciplined behavior were to eo :
their conduct, and personal worthiness to be their g,tl
would do well to reflect that the attributes should he cm:,
by present-day Christians, still, as well as the alertnc::.'
prayerfulness which are necessary adjuncts to :
Christian living).
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. Just suppose the Day of Judgment upon the nun f
were tomorrow!! Whatchance would we have . beset
are with drugs, alcoholism, and violence towards our (, i j
men? The very thought should strike fear into our hearts and
galvanize us to action to set our house in order!
. We need to face the fact that redemption must be i AK.
NED. and the constant enemies of a spiritual life thai is
wholly acceptable to God must bea daily battle. . ihr mp- or
self-indulgence and overwhelming interest in material tlwihs
that detract from us as persons. .
We should, indeed, be thankful thit we are given ample,
time in which to prepare ourselves; we can ill afford to be
either heedless or faithless, for lime is fleeting, indeed
We. like the disciples, have long and arduous battle?
ahead, but we can draw comfort in the fact that wr have an
able Ally by our side! Adversities and the inherent
weaknesses of man can be met and overcome if we hold fast
to the Divine promise of assistance and of salvation!
