It is tragic that this year, the inspiration led to suffering and death instead of peace. A yuletide truce was called in Viet Nam—but the Com munists did not respect it. The American high command listed 84 specific violations of the cease-fire by the Reds. United States and South Vietnamese troops, off-guard because they had been told of a “truce”, suf fered needless deaths, injuries, and setbacks. Even after the unsuccessful “truce,” the Administration persisted in clinging to the hope that the Communists really want to stop fighting. Our bombing attacks upon N. Viet Nam targets were called off indefinitely, to give the enemy “ample time” to decide whether or not tto negotiate. After the rather ample time of 12 days, a reply came back: N. Viet Nam announced on January 4 that the U. S. “Has no right to impose upon the government of the Democratic Republic of (North) Viet Nam any condition whatsoever in ex change for stopping its air raids.” In other words, the Communists will accept no body’s terms but their own: that a settlement be made “in accordance with the program of the South Viet Nam National Liberation Front.” The Front is the political arm of the Communist Viet Cong. On the same day—January 4 —Ambassador Arthur Goldberg returned from his round-the- world peace trip and announced that “everybody’s position is negotiable” in Viet Nam—in cluding ours. He evidently had not heard the dispatch from North Viet Nam. If we negotiate an end to the war on Communist terms, we shall in effect hand the country over to the Reds. Is that what American boys are fighting and dying for? It is suggested that the Ad ministration’s peace efforts are really part of a plan to in crease our war effort in Viet Nam. The argument goes like this: If Hanoi rejects our ef forts to talk, we will have a wonderful excuse to step up our fighting, because the enemy will have demonstrated that it doesn’t want peace. We do not need another ex cuse. We have the right and duty to do whatever it takes to achieve victory—because we are fighting to free South Viet Nam from its Communist ag gressors. If the Reds can get away with this War of Nat ional Liberation, they will con clude that the United States is a paper tiger who will not stop them from conquering Asia, AJrica and Latin Am erica. Viet Nam is the Communists’ “test case” that will determine whether Communism or free dom has the best chance for survival in the future.

And the medicine man has been an important member of society from the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Today more than ever the man of medicine is uppermost in our minds, as we trod along on the journey of life. We have more ailments to day than ever before; most of the diseases of people in the long ago have disappeared as we acquire knowledge and pros per, more diseases flourish, new ones being (discovered al most every year. And along with the multiplication of phy sical pains we have specialists for each pain, some pains be ing largely imaginary and giv ing scope to psychologists and thereapeutics and all manner of long names; we seldom have ordinary pains as visited our grandparents: today a pain is not just a pain: it is a symp tom and may necessitate spec ialists with all manner of equip ment—expensive equipment— and expensive treatment cor responding. In olden times when a man or woman “took to bed,” with grievous visitation, the people of the home, and the neigh bors ministered to him; nowa days the ailing one is hustled off to a hospital in a magnifi cent ambulance and is at tended by a lovely nurse, or even three of them—all lovely women, sacrificing themselves for the benefit of the sufferer at a meager sixteen to twenty dollars a day—eight hours. Frequently we “patients” are so pampered that we must have threee nurses each day—forty eight to sixty dollars a day. It is interesting to study the history of medicine. Contem plate this for your next quiet hour: “2900 B.C. By the time of Egyptian civilization medicine already had come a long way from simple remedies like leaves, earth and water. Egyp tians who specialized in medi cations learned and practiced their arts in the Temple. Al though Egyptian medicine dates from about 2900 B. C., the most important record is the Papyrus Ebers of about 1500 B. C., a collection of 800 prescriptions mentioning 700 drugs.” “300 B.C. Theophrostus, Greek philosopher and natural scientist, is called ‘The Father of Botany.’ His observations and writings on the medical quali ties and peculiarities of herbs were unusually accurate even in the light of present know ledge. Theoph rastus took in formal groups of students on lecture walks, learning of na ture by seeing her treasures first hand.” “1st Century A.D. Pedanios Dioscorides, a Roman, did much to make medicine a sci ence. In order to study materia medica, Dioscorides accompan ied the Roman armies through out the known world. His ac curate observations, his rules for the collection of drugs, their storage and use were considered basic science as late as the 16th century.” “5th to 12th Centuries. Like most learning during the Mid dle ages, Western knowledge of medicine was preserved in the monasteries. Manuscripts in many languages were translat ed or copied for monastery lib raries. Monks gathered herbs in the fields or raised them in monastery gardens. As early as the seventh century they taught and practiced the science of medicine. Monastic medical practice was strongly influenced by Galen, whose principles of pre paring and compounding med icines ruled in the western world for 1500 y^ars . Galen, who lived between 131 and 201 A.D., practiced and taught both pharmacy and medicine in Rome. He originated the form ula for a cold cream and gave his name to that class of phar maceuticals still called galen icals.” “754 A.D. Major contributors to the advancement of medicine were the Arabs. About the mid dle of the 9th century they separated the arts of apothe cary and physician by estab lishing the first privately own ed drug stores to serve the practice of medicine. They add ed to Greco-Roman wisdom and developed syrups, distilled water, confections and con serves. Whe nthe Moors swept across Africa into Europe they brought the idea of the phar macy with them.” “1240 A.D. While the Arabs had legally separated pharmacy and medicine, it took European countries five centuries to get around to doing the same thing. Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, Emperor of Germany and King of Sicily, made the separation official. At his palace in Pal ermo he presented an edict separatin gand regulating pro fessional responsibilities.” “1617 in the British Isles the spice and drug trade was mon opolized by the Guild of Gro cers. Resenting this control, the apothecaries found allies among court physicians and the philosopher-politician, Francis Bacon. Together they persuad ed King James I to grant apo thecaries a separate charter which became the first organi zation of pharmacists in the Anglo-Saxon world.” “1640—John Winthrop, gov ernor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, became a self-styled physician combining imported drugs with plants native to New England to serve the col ony. In 1751 Benjamin Frank lin was instrumental in estab lishing America’s first hospital in Philadelphia. The hospital pharmacist, John Morgan, who became a physician, introduced prescription writing and cham pioned independent practice of the two professions.” “1742-1786—in his short life time, Carl Wilhelm Scheele of Sweden made an enormous contribution to theadvancement of medicine. He discovered oxy gen, prussic acid, tungsten, tartaric acid, molybdenum, gly cerin, nitro-glycerin and num erous other organic compounds. Modern medicine owes much to Scheele’s discoveries and his thousands of valuable experi ments.” “1816—Sweden’s Scheele pav ed the way for isolating organic plant acids and a young Ger man, Frederick Wilhelm Ser- tudner, followed to give the world opium’s chief narcotic principle, morphine. He also proved the importance of a new class of organic substan ces, alkaloids. The alkaloidal experiments inspired a team of young Frenchmen, Pelletier and Caventon, to discover stry chnine and isolate quinine and cinchonine.” 1886—Stanislaus Limousin, a French pharmacist, combined scientific knowledge with rare technical skill for the advance ment of medicine. Among the many devices he introduced were the medicine dropper, the system of coloring poisons and the water cachets which pre ceded present day gelatin cap sules. He also developed an ap paratus for the administration of oxygen and invented glass ampoules that could be sealed and sterilized for the preserva tion of hypodermic solutions.” “1940—Antibiotics have pro ven to be medicine’s most ef fective weapon for combatting man’s microbial enemies since the breakthrough of effective antitoxins in 1894. Antibiotic action was first noted by Pas teur in 1877. However, it was not until Florey and Chain de veloped Fleming’s 1929 discov ery of penicillin that mass pro duction gave birth to the era of antibiotics.” seekers of peace might remem ber this before they ask the lamb to lie down in the angry lion’s den. Did you ever chop wood? Did you havean open fire place? Do you know anything about “lightard”? That means lightwood and .means resinous pine that our people used for light less than 200 years ago. Young men of today don’t know about chopping wood, and less about “lightard” except as kindling, you know. I’m still a young blood my self but I have chopped quite a lot of wood in my day. To day we don’t chop wood and we don’t walk. This is the day of easy living. Oil is used gen erally but soon all heating, cooking, etc will be by elec tricity and natural gas. If you would know, ask my genial friend, “’Buddy” Lawson of the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company. Marriages... Gene R. Bain of Whitmire and Janice L.

SCHD suggests safety rules For pedestrians winter is generally the most dangerous time of year but many continue to walk as if they were a match for any vehicle, the South Car olina Highway Department said today. Slippery streets, umbrellas and high collars blocking vision are conditions that contribute to pedestrian accidents, High way Department spokesmen said. The pedestrian, often in a hurry because of the cold weather, sometime® forgets a- bout slippery streets and that cars take up to five times more distance to stop on wet sur faces. There were over 1000 pedes trian accidents in South Caro lina last year, resulting in 164 deaths or nearly one-fifth of all traffic fatalities. In the last five years 809 pedestrians have been killed and over 4000 injured in South Carolina. Some good safety rules to follow when walking are as follows: (1) When crossing a roadway or street, always cross at marked crosswalk or street corner. (2) Use extreme cau tion in crossing and always yield the right-of-way to auto mobiles, even if they are sup posed to yield to you. (3) Never run into a street from between parked vehicles. (4) On open highways walk facing traffic and well out of the way of moving vehicles. Motorists are required by law to yield to pedestrians who have already entered a street on a proper traffic signal. Of ficials said many motorists ap parently do not recognize this requirement. «. t.
