The risks of dying of heart disease have gone up nearly 25 percent among middleaged men in the past generation, while the risk for women in the same age group has gone down about the same amount.

Notice the modern ! taxes YOU paid to our governm textiles which will hurt YOUR Save Your Job A last-ditch fight is now on in the United States Senate which may well determine the future of all textile mill jobs, including those right here at Clinton-Lvdia Mills. Certain groups are trying to have the protective tariffs which are charged on Japanese textile goods entering this country removed. If this is done, cloth from Japan can flood this country at low prices because Japanese mill employees are paid from 9 to 12 cents an hour compared with the high standard of living maintained here which must be included in the price of our cloth. The textile industry, and that includes every mill job. suffered a hard blow about 10 days ago when the House of Representatives voted in favor of reducing tariffs on foreign-made textile goods. It was a close vote, but nevertheless, American textiles lost. Now our onlv chance lies in having the Senate vote the proposition down so that tariffs will stay just as they are now.
