Association of America has designated CAROWINDS official host for Gospel Jubilee Week. In addition to some of the country's top gospel talent, there will be singing competitions featuring groups from all over the Southeast. Mr. America Is Guest Speaker Ellington Darden, the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Mr. America, 1972, challenged Christian young people attending Ridgecrest, N.C., Baptist Conference Center to become esically fit to achieve ance in their Christian Ives. As part of the Church Recreation Leadership Conference, Darden con ducted a test of ten exercises with junior and senior high students to judge their physical fitness. Darden has a . PhiD. in ' physical . education from Florida State University. Some components . of physical fitness are agility, coordination, muscular power, and resistance to disease, but the most im portant is cardiovascular endurance, according to Darden, He pointed out that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States and at least 30 million people have heart disease which could lead to premature death, "The sad part," Darden said, "Is that heart disease begins in elementary school. Seven per cent of children ages 6-12 have one or more symptoms of heart disease and the number is doubled in high school. At least 46 per cent of adults 40-50 years old have one or more critical risk factors of heart disease." . "A big part of the answer to this physical deterioration dilema is exercise and diet," he explained. Signs of Memories Check the signs of the times (bygone). There are six of them. They've been placed at strategic locations throughout the Albemarle. These signs point the way to the Museum of the Albemarle, just outside of Elizabeth City. : Why don't you and your family follow the signs, and take time out for a memory or two this week? Visit the Museum of the Albemarle. ths Horfolh & Carolina rc!:-!::H3CiTc:rcph Company By MARION SWINDELL What is the price of vic tory? Now, there is an age- old question for us to ponder. It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson became a master of English by writing some of his pieces nine times over The manuscript pages of Tennyson's poems sometimes have fifty corrections on a single sheet. Goethe took a lifetime to write "Faust" and half lifetime to write Wilhelm Meister. To be aware of the efforts lof these men in achieving their greatness teaches us kne thing everything has a price on it. Without patience it can't be accomplished. The life that spurns effort is without results and ac complishments. In other words if you will pay the price you may have it. The skillful surgeon became so because he paid the price of preparation. The artist paints because he painfully learned draft manship... on and on we could go they all paid the price. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "Victory is never won by the sluggard.' Swindell Funeral Home HERTFORD. N.C. PHONE 426,7314 Football Accident Depends On For most of his life Sam Tbomai never had any . reason to associate pig skin with anything but pigs and fcotbaU. An accident last April 2 changed all that, Thomas, a Winston-Salem native, was approaching a sharp curve an a rural, road with his oil tanker when he met' a car, coming from the opposite direction and partially in his lane. The tanker swerved, turned over in a ditch and caught fire. Thomas, 20, was left with second and third degree burns on' "his face, neck, back, chest and both arms. The man who caused the accident was last seen driving off without ever topping. Suddenly pig skin became something important. It was a major factor on hastening Thomas' recovery at Baptist Hospital. He went home recently, having had a much shorter hospital stay because pig skin was part of his therapy. Because third-degree burns leave no skin on the burned area there are problems with infection, mmmmmmmmmm Darden Department Store 109 - 111 N.

Both allowed body fluid to seep from the wound. Pain was continual. And neither ointment nor : gauze significantly promoted ' healing. Doctors at Baptist Hospital now prefer to use pig skin as a living bandage. Victims of severe burns must wait for permanent grafts while their conditions are stabilized and the dead skin is removed. In the past that process Juts often taken several weeks, Uyse of pig skin reduces that time.

The Bowman Gray School of Medicine's surgery research laboratory provides the doctors with the pig skin they need. The laboratory has an arrangement with local farmers to get pigs whenever they are needed. Within 24 hours after a doctor orders the pig skin it is ready for use on the patient. The pig is brought to the laboratory, washed, shaved, weighed and then killed. It take four people half a day to remove the skin and make it ready. A single 175 or 200 pound pig provides up to 24 square feet of skin that is 15 l.OOOths of an inch thick. The skin is cut into strips three inches wide and 30 inches long. The strips are then sterilized and placed in a refrigerator to await use. The skin can be used as long as 10 days after it was taken from the pig. Ths most skin ever taken by the laboratory for a single patient was removed from six pigs. That was for a little PIH HARDWARE COMPANY PHONE 426-5531 HERTFORD, N.C. W.M.
