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.

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.

REMEMBER: "Victory is
never won by the sluggard.'

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,

with the loss of vital body
fluids, with pain from, raw
nerve endings. "
' The most common type of .
covering for such burns in
the past was antibiotic
ointments . and gauze.
Neither stopped bacteria
from getting to the wound.
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 pig skuT'eealS the
burned area' from infection
and from the leakage of ftbdy
fluids, Pain is reduced as the
raw nerves are covered.
The pig skin actually
grows to the patient, though
it would eventually be
rejected by the body. When
the skin is removed the burn
wound is left fresh and clean

and ready for the permanent
graft from the patient's own
skin. : . .
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
