Way To Join
Heart Attack
Club Given
Want to join the thousands of
South Carolinians who belong to
the “Heart Attack Club”?
Tips to achieve membership
have been noted by the South Car
olina Heart Association during
Heart Month—February:
1. Your job comes first; personal
considerations are secondary.
2. Go to the office evenings,
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
3. Take the brief case home on
evenings when you do not go to
the office. This provides an op
portunity to review completely all
the troubles and worries of the day.
4. Never say “No” to a request.
Always say “Yes”.
6. Accept all invitations to
meetings, banquets and committee
jobs.
6. Do not eat a restful, relaxing
meal. Always plan a conference
for the meal hour.
7. Fishing and hunting are a
waste of time. You never bring
back enough fish or game to justi
fy the time and expense.
8. It is poor policy to take all
the vacation time provided for you.
9. Golf, billiards, cards and gar
dening are a waste of time.
10. Never delegate responsibi-
Kty to others; carry the full load
at all times.
11. If your work calls for travel
ing, work all day and drive all
night to make your appointment
for the next morning.
Though a facetious way to en
courage moderation, the South
Carolina Heart Association as
sures that heart attacks are no
laughing matter.
A heart attack is an acute con
dition that doctors call coronary
thrombosis—a sudden blocking of
an artery which supplies the heart
muscle with blood.
When the artery channel has be
come narrowed or hardened, a
blood clot may form .in., the nar
rowed artery to block the chan
nel, thus cutting off the flow bf
blood to the part of the lidart sup
plied by that artery.
When a clot (thrombus cuts off
the blood supply to a section of
heart muscle, the result is called
a heart attack—called a coronary
Thrombosis, coronary occlusion or
myocardial infarction by physi
cians.
Symptoms vary greatly, but the
usual symptoms of heart attack
are:
1. Severe painful sensation of
pressure in the front of the chest,
sometimes a spreading to the left
arm and often lasting for hours
(some attacks are accompanied by
nausea and vomiting and may be
mistaken for acute indigestion).
2. Sweating.
3. Sudden intense shortness of
breath.
4. Loss of consciousness (oc
casionally).

Garden Club
Has Meeting
The Town & Country Garden
club held its February meeting on
Wednesday, February 12 at 3:30

Cousins with Mrs. Ralph Watkins
as co-hostess.
Refresmments were served im

The meeting was called to order
by the club president, Mrs. Ollie
Moye, who led the club Collect.
She then turned the program over
to the chairman, Mrs. Eddie Rod-
elsperger, who showed colorful
slides provided by Southern Bell
Telephone company entitled “Con
versation Pieces”. These consisted
of five beautiful flower arrange
ments appropriate for different
areas of the home with instruct
ions and demonstrations for mak
ing each. This program proved to
be quite inspirational and inform
ative.
The business session followed
with the president presiding. The
nominating committee presented
the slate of officers for the 1963-
64 Garden club year. The follow
ing officers were unanimously el
ected: President, Mrs. Ollie Moye;

Symposium on February 1st in
Columbia at the University were
Mrs. Jack Jennings, Mrs. W. P.
Senn, Mrs. Richard Lominick, Jr.,
Mrs. Ned Carlisle, and Mrs. War
ren Cousins.
Reasons For
Drivers Tests
Driver improvement, rather than
driver rejection, is the underlying
objective of the re-examination
bill that has been introduced in
the State Senate.
This is the interpretation placed
on the bill by Chief Highway Com
missioner Silas N. Pearman, who.
was asked by the South Carolina
Highway Safety Committee t o
give his views on the newly intro
duced statewide safety legislation.
“The measure, as I see it,” he
said, “would in no way bring a-
bout the wholesale disqualifica
tion of drivers. It would encour
age many persons, now incapable
of operating a motor vehicle safe-
ly, to get their eyes examined or
prepare themselves otherwise so
they could pass whatever test
would be required to insure they
were safe drivers.
“This would be a long range
driver improvement program; it
would not be necessary to give
every driver a complete examina
tion. In a majority of cases we do
not anticipate the need for a road
test or a parallel parking test,”
Mr. Pearman said.
Mr. Pearman said that many
drivers with physical defects would
be able to continue driving with
restricted licenses such as are al
ready being issued under present
law. The proposed legislation, he
stated, would be only to enable
the department to do a better job
and thereby bring about an im
provement in the State's traffic ’
death rate, now near the top in the
nation.
It was announced that the Dis
trict Meeting will be held March 1
12 in Clinton..
Mrs. Howard Kelley of Patter
son, N. Y. was welcomed as a vis
itor.
Mrs. Clayton Smith won the door
prize.

AN APATHETIC AMERICA
The President said in his State
of The Union speech that “com
placency of self-congratulations
can imperil our security as much
as the weapons of tyranny.” Ap
parently, there are about us some
signs of let-down since the hot
days of national danger that Am
erica experienced or at least
thought she was experiencing,
during the Cuban crisis. This is
not to suggest that the U. S.
ought to press on to other crises
just to keep life exciting. But a
period of self-satisfied calm that
tends toward withdrawal into iso
lation will only invite the Russians
to see what conflict they can stir
up for us.
It may be a weakness of the
American character that we like
to mind our own business and let
the other fellow mind his. We
our brother’s keeper? Never. That
the world is small and no man an
island to himself is just a cliche
we would like to forget. In times
like today, too many of us are
quite content if Washington can
enforce the status quo just enough
to allow us to forget all about in
ternational problems and get on
with minding our own affairs.
Facing The Realities
National apathy brings out the
worst in American behaviour. Al
ready we have allowed ourselves
to fall under the hypnotic spell of
a succession of popular and pleas
ant leaders from FDR to JFK.
We must not come to believe that
a popular personality can make
unpleasant realities pleasant. That
is like convincing ourselves that
we can buy off foreign difficul
ties with foreign aid. In our re
luctance to face realities we ought
not chafe against the impossibility
of immediate solutions, nor should
we sweep under the rug problems
that we cannot solve.
If a beloved leader, skilled in
reading public opinion, suddenly
cries “wolf” from the White
House parapets, that does not
mean the action should excite us
so much that we call it leadership.
When some Americans insist on
beating the dead horse of “Mc-
Carthyism” while showing child
like complacency toward Com
munism, we ought to notice that
they avoid considering the main
issues. Right now we are getting
carried away about tax cutting
WITH deficits, that we refuse to
see that it can dangerously cheap
en our money and burden us with
debt. But we must get the country
moving, you know, even if we can
not pay for it!
No Gloating
Looking backward, some may
consider the Cuban confrontation
an exciting national experience.
But Communist Cuba remains to
day an unpleasant reality that is
there to plague us. It is not a
mirage, it will not go away. Sim
ply because we thought the epi
sode brought honor and prestige,
we have no reason to gloat about
it on a scale extending far past
the deadly realities. Gen. Thomas

the January 14 issue of Newsweek
is appalled by what he calls “a
great national orgy of self-con
gratulations.”
The blockade was an example
of the kind of courage necessary
in today’s world. But no cheering
is in order. The cards were pretty
much stacked in our favor in that
easy confrontation, and General
White insists that he for one ex
pects the government of the U. S.
never to act in any other manner
but courageously. Thus: “Instead
of crowing over a twelfth - hour
decision, we should be taking stock
of our national attitudes which
permitted the immediate situation
in the first place.”, He is so right.
Need For Loud Thinking
Our military authorities did
not raise the alarm. Perhaps it
was because they had been muzzl
ed. Or smothered with political in
hibitions. At any rate, our military
intelligence surely must have
known what was developing i n
Cuba, for Senator Keating was
asking the Pentagon for details
and getting them long before the
October crisis. The newspapers
were also printing many of the
facts. Public opinion, in this in
stance, was away ahead of official
thinking, but it seems obvious now
that we should have been thinking
“louder” many months earlier.
An American public lulled into
apathy is in dangerous condition.
The leave-it-to-me approach of
modern presidents, exemplified by
Mr. Kennedy’s “rash talk is cheap”
statements about Cuba, adds
greatly to the danger. A we-have-
it-made attitude is also fraught
with peril, for it lulls us to see
no danger and rules out the vigi
lance required in this nuclear-
loaded world. We need to develop
the ability to look straight-on to
ward the issue we face. Mr. Ken
nedy put it quite well when he
spoke of the peril of “complac
ency.”

THE
MANION
FORUM
Both houses of Congress have
asked for a complete and thorough
investigation of the Bay of Pigs
invasion, and new interest in the
matter has been evidenced by this
announcement.
It would seem certain that the
best witnesses to the incident will
be the men who took part in the
planning and in the actual inva
sion. Several of these men have
told their stories to the press and
over the radio and television in re
cent weeks. Their stories are much
the same.
The invasion was disorganized,
and hunger and desperation over
their plight had a lot to do with
the outcome. None of the usual
war formalities had taken place.
Ordinarily, armies fight to the
last man or surrender in an order
ly manner, like the Americans at
Corregidor, the English in Burma
or the Germans in Satlingrad.
It seems, however, that the Cu
ban military chiefs of the invasion
did not fully realize until 3 P. M.
on April 19, that the promised
help had been withheld. Perplexed
astonished and disoriented by so
many unfulfilled promises, they
ordered the disbandment and re
treat of the men into the Cuban
swamps.
During the ensuing two weeks,
the members of the brigade scat
tered in all directions, and lack
ing food, water and ammunition,
they were soon captured. A few
were 1 'helped to escape by farmers
in the area who risked their own
lives to give this help.
~ One of the leaders of the inva
sion testified recently that no Uni
ted States air cover had been
gromised. But it seems clear that
the men in this brigade would not
have gone on a suicidal mission
and that they, at least, counted
on the air cover.
The battle in Cuba lasted some
three days in spite of the lack of
help from this country. The Com
munists used an old guerilla war
fare trick to end the fighting.
They asked for a cease-fire with
many of their men injured and
dying, alleging that they wanted
to assist their wounded and reco
ver and attend to their dead. It
was granted. Then they played
their trick by using the cease-fire
to mobilize their troops and mount
a 50-calibre machine gun in a
strategic place and suddenly they
opened fire on the invaders.
The first of the invaders taken
prisoner were shot. Then Castro
ordered this shooting to stop and
soon after that came the first of
fer to exchange prisoners. But the
treatment of all prisoners was not
quite as gentle as Castro would
have us believe. Nine men died
by being placed in a trailer truck
that was hermetically closed, and
they died from suffocation during
a 12-hour trip. More than fifty
others were so completely dehy
drated they had to be given plas
ma to save their lives.
After investigation, the Inter
national Commission of Jurist in
November, 1962, described the
conditions existing in Cuban jails
with this report: complete lack of
hygiene; excessive, even cruel,
crowding of prisoners; insufficient
and unpalatable food; arbitrary
handling of family visits and mail;
and complete isolation from all
contact with the outside world that
lasted 227 days.
The OAS and the United Nat
ions not only kept silent about
these injustices, but they also tol
erate Communist demagoguery
and agitation staged against jus
tified controls imposed on them by
any western country.
Cuba is an excellent example of
how the Communists are willing to
take enormous risks to advance
their cause. Tn*. problem is not
one of missiles; it is a problem of
principles.
The big unanswered question
that remains—unanswered except
by the official denials of the pres
ident and the attorney-general—
Was the government a party to
the planning and execution of the
invasions If the answer is “yes”
then why did the invasion fail?
Why were 1400 young men per
mitted to walk into a trap that
was baited with a promise which
the Administration had already
decided not to keep.
Now we have paid Castro nearljr
fifty-three million dollars in a
humiliating ransom deal, and most
of these invaders have been re
turned to this country where they
have asylum. But the impression
remains In the minds of most peo
ple that these men were the vic
tims of gross, high official trea
son. You may be sure that Khru-
shcev, Castro and their Commune
ist agents are exploiting this im
pression for all that it is worth.
If it is a false impression, then
let the facts be verified and am
plified. If the impression is cor
rect, then let the guilty parties be
punished.
