AUGUST. 1960 Clinton-Lydia Ei Safer at Wor Home, on the Hig smoking- ? HMHU^U 222IB * buhdU . _ .i When you leave your job each day, you are leaving the safest place of your life. 1959 National Safety Statistics revealed that six out of seven of all accidental deaths occurred away from work. Four out of five accidental injuries occurred away from work. This speaks exceedingly well for the success management and employees are having in the elimination of on-the-job accidents. Safety figures prove you are much safer at work than you are at home, at play, or on the highways. We at Clinton-Lydia Mills have a fine on-the-ioh snfetv Some Coarse . . . Some Fine . .

Nationally recognized safety engineers report that physically we are "abreast with the best" and "ahead of the rest". With the continued support and cooperation of everyone in striving to work safely every day. we can further reduce the unnecessary pain, suffering, and financial hardships brought on by accidents. Remember!! "The Alert Seldom Get Hurt". Accidents are "Waste At Its Worst". .

THE CLOTHMAKER FORT MOULTRIE TO BECOME NATIONAL PARK The State of South Carolina has returned to the federal government approximately 36.5 acres of land containing historic old Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island. Walter B. Brown of Columbia, director of the State Sinking Fund, said South Carolina had acted at the request of the federal government which will turn the property over to the National Park Service. Tentative plans call for restoration of parts of the fort, provisions for parkin# for | visitors and possibly living quarters for members of the National Park Service. . The property is a part of ( that given to the state bv the federal government under a , deed dated August 13, 1956 t and consists of a strip the width of the fort running , from the ocean to Central j Avenue. t A narrower strip continues 1 from Central Avenue to the Intra-coastal Waterway behind Sullivan's Island. Other t property deeded to the state \ will not be affected by the ? transfer, Mr. Brown said. Mr. Brown said the state has been trying to undertake some kind of restoration program but found the job was too big. The last $5,000, he aaiu, wds appropriated ior maintenance and cleaning. The National Park Service said that, although the Indian Chief Osceola's grave lies immediately behind the ramparts of the fort it will not revert to the National Park ! Service under the deed given by the state. i A spokesman for the service ( said a very narrow strip of ground on which the grave is located, belongs to the Sul- ] livan's Island Township Com- < missions. i Whether or not the National Park Service will attempt to obtain the strip of land from the commission could not be determined. The Fort Moultrie Reservation, along with the Marshall Reservation at the far end of the island were last used for military purposes about 10 years ago.

Why? Here's the way this nationally-known doctor ex plained it recently to a syndicated medical writer: "Obesity is certainly a deterrent to long life. Most of all it puts a strain on the heart. And heart disease is still the No. 1 killer." He made it clear that obesity did not account for all heart disease. "But the fact remains," he added, "when you're overloaded with weifc, . you overload your heart." The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company says the same thing a different way: "Overweight is probably the worst and most insidious enemy of your heart. Excess weight ... is simply a burden ?and the more overweight you are. the more likely you are to impair your heart's efficiency." It works this way. The heart's job is to distribute cell-nourishing blood throughout the body. It's marvelously designed to do its job perfectly in the supple, wellproportioned body. But when excess flesh is added, the heart's work load goes up with the added weight. New tissues must have blood, and blood vessels to circulate it.

And the greater the work, the greater the wear and tear on the heart. Coupled with the circulatory problems posed by obesity is the possibly deleterious role of fats in circulatory disorders. Though the nic w I ture is still clouded, many medical quarters hold that certain fats may be injurious to the circulatory system. There is evidence that the fats found in butter, whole milk and many other everyday food sources influence the body's supply of a substance called cholesterol. Some authorities think cholesterol is linked to the formation of fatty deposits in the blood vessel lining. These deposits build up in the affected vessels, causing increased re si a icu iff iu circulation. One medical investigator has estimated that reducing the diameter of the passageway in the vessels by 10 per cent increases the pressure of blood flow by 50 per cent (another source of heart strain). High fat intake, too. causes acceleration of blood clotting time. These two factors ? constriction of the vessels by fat 1 - auu wu>himj4 acceleration?thus indicate fats may play a definite role in heart attacks.
