Governor Martin proclaims
February heart month in N.C.
Governor James G. Martin issued
a proclamation designating Feb
ruary as Heart Month in North Caro
lina and urged North Carolina's citi
zens to support the lifesaving mission
of the American Heart Association.
? "I urge all our citizens to learn
more about maintaining their health
and to join in the fight against heart
disease," said Martin.
In the proclamation, Martin indi
cated that cardiovascular diseases,
including stroke, are the number one
killers in the state.
Cardiovascular disease takes the
lives of more than 24,000 North Caro
linians each year according to the
American Heart Association, North
Carolina Affiliate. Over 46 percent of
all deaths in the state are cardiovas
cular related.
"Cardiovascular diseases caused
the deaths of nearly one million
Americans last year and will co6t our
country more than $80 billion in 1988
for physician and nursing services,
hospital and nursing home services
and cost of medications, as well as
the lost occupational output as a re
sult of disability," said Martin.
In the 1987 campaign year, North
Carolina AHA raised over 1.8 million
dollars. This year volunteers are hop
ing to top that amount.
Individual and corporate contribu
tions help fund research, profes
sional and public education and com
munity service programs. This year,
the American Heart Association Na
tional Center and the North Carolina
Affiliate will spend more than $1.3
million on 58 cardiovascular re
search projects in the state. Pro
grams funded include "Heart Trea
sure Chest," a preschool education
project, and "Heart at Work," en em
ployee wellness project.
Hundreds of volunteers in North
Carolina will give their time to help
with the AHA's annual educational
and fundraising drive during Feb
ruary.
The Perquimans County Heart As
sociation is planning the following ac
tivities for the month of February.
On February 26th they will host a ce
lebrity dinner at Angler's Cove Res
taurant. The dinner feature celebrity
waiters and waitresses from the
area. All tips, and 10 percent of the
dinner cost will go to the local heart
association. Also February 28th is
heart Sunday. Heart blitz day will be
announced at a future date.
The American Heart Association is
the only non-profit, voluntary health
organization committed to reducing
early death and disability due to car
diovascular disease and stroke.

and a 1983 graduate of East Carolina,
earned her master's degree in coun
selor education at North Carolina
State University. She recently began
at COA as Counselor and Director of
the Child Care program. Her experi
ence includes residence hall work at
Austin Peay State University in Ten
nessee and at NCSU in Raleigh. She
has also worked as a social worker
for the Perquimans County Depart
ment of Social Services.
Hurdle has been wanting to return
to northeastern North Carolina. "I
love this area of the state and being
so close to the water." she said, "and
many of my friends and family are
here."

Fuel excise tax is due in April
Farmers who use diesel fuel in
their fanning operations are re
quired, effective April 1, to pay ex
cise taxes on the fuel, however, they
may claim a refund of the taxes or
credit on their income tax return.
According to W. B. Jenkins, presi
dent of the North Carolina Farm Bu
reau, the new rule is a provision of
the "Revenue Act of 1987" (Budget
Reconciliation Bill).
Jenkins said the diesel fuel tax re
funds or creidts will be treated gener
ally in the same manner as the re
fund procedures on gasoline were
treated prior to January 1, 1988. A tax
of 15 cents a gallon is imposed on die
sel fuel that is sold to an owner or
operator for use as a fuel in a diesel
powered highway vehicle. The tax is
included in the price paid for the fuel
unless the purchase is tax free. How
ever, all provisions permitting
exempt, tax-free sales beyond the
wholesale level are repealed effec
tive April X. Farmers still remain
their exemption, but must first pay
the tax upfront.

EYES AND AGE
Perhaps you worry about your vision losing some of its sharp
ness as you get older. You may not like the idea of becomming
more and more dependent on your glasses to see well. You may
also wonder if your eyes will wear out if you use them too much.
Diminishing sharpness of vision and the need to have your eyes
checked more often ar natural with advancing oge. But. fear not
-your eyes won't wear out.
The case of the identical twins is a good example. In their
youth they both needed glasses. Their prescriptions were almost
identical, but not their occupations. One became a farmer who
didn't have much time for reading. The other was o proofreader
who spent his days reading and correcting fine print. By the time
both men were 70, they were still wearing glasses, and their pre
sent prescriptions were identical. Except for the normal need to
change their prescriptions from time to time, they had healthy
eyes.
