PAGE 6—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, July 20, 1967 Health Tips From AMA accident is catching a barbed hook in the flesh, usually a finger or hand, but sometimes a kg or other part of the body. Lures and hooks left un protected on a dock or on the bottom of a boat cause many of Fishing is good therapy— both physical and emotional— says the American Medical Association. Of course, the millions of Americans who head for the lakes and streams across the nation each fishing season don’t need a doctor to tell them that fishing is good sport. They prob ably have seen their doctor sit ting in the next boat with a line in the water. Fishing can be elaborate, complete with a trip to the sea shore and renting deepsea boats and equipment. Or it can be the cane pole and worms affair on the banks of a neighborhood creek. Either way it gets us out in the fresh air and sunshine, gets our minds off the cares of the day. Unless you are the vigorous type who wades through racing rapids or rows hard for miles, fishing is mild exercise. Fishing is good for the body and spirit. But it has some built-in hazards. Most of them can be avoided. The most common fishing these accidents. The wise fisherman guards against accidents by shielding the hook. One simple way to do this is to stick a small cork over the barb. Lures should be stored in the tackle box until needed, and returned promptly to the box when removed from the leader. The band of your favor ite fishing hat is, of course, a reasonably safe place to keep lures you intend to use later in the day. Fly or bait casters are re sponsible for many hook acci dents to their fellow fishermen. Particularly dangerous arc the “side-winders” who cast with a side arm motion rather than overhead. Train yourself to look before each cast to make certain no one is in the way. This will also save lures from snagging on trees and bushes as you cast. In removing a hook from the fish, hold the fish firmly under the gills, so that its head can’t flop or wiggle. A freshly caught fish is slippery and hard to hold. Get a firm grip before dislodging the hook. If, despite precautions, a hook becomes imbedded in your hand or finger, don’t try to pull it out. Your physician will snip off the shank and push it through, thus causing less further damage to torn flesh. The doctor will also, if neces sary, administer antibiotics and tetanus toxoid. Hook wounds often lead to infection unless Wherever you go, you’ll feel younger in this crisp, nubby-textured rayon and acetate linen, flatteringly front-seamed and brightly accented in gold and rhinestones on the pretty scooped neck.

Benson President k NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas d KOSYGIN’S IMPORTANT ANSWER At the end of his nationally televised press conference in the United Nations headquart ers in New York on June 25, Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin, who had shown himself to be a shrewd and coldly arrogant replacement for the flam boyant Khrushchev, stepped down from the dais and walked through the crowd with his interpreter. One last question was flung at him as he passed a reporter — and I have yet to see this question and its revealing answer published anywhere in America. Reporter (a paraphrase of the question): Do you think, Mr. Premier, that class con flict now has a chance to suc ceed in the United States, and do you still believe that the proletarian dictatorship will be established over the world? The Russian Premier pausec in his movement toward th( door. His eyes leveled on th< reporter. With an icy smile ht uttered a clipped response: “Of Course!” Conquest the Goal This was seen on television but scarcely any of the new: reporters heard the exchange It was the most importan! utterance made by Kosygin during his American visit. Our Government’s policy — diplo matic and military; our na tional defense planning — is today based on a belief that Kosygin and his Kremlin co horts do not mean “of course” but really mean “No!” to the question of whether their goal still is the conquest of the world. The belief in policy-shaping treated properly. Fishing is fun. A fish hook through the hand can spoil the day. With care it can be avoided. circles of our Government is that the Soviet Communists have forsaken their determina tion to take over the world, that they want a genuine peace, and that we must “build bridges” with the Kremlin bosses. A national news weekly magazine recent ly quoted a “congressional source” as follows: “LBJ thinks the way to get the Russians to do something is to kill ‘em with kindness. Ninety per cent of the people in the State and Defense Depart ments support the notion of peace, trade, and friendship with the Soviets.” Helpful Build-up Kosygin, throughout his American visit, was “walking on top of the world.” He ar rived just after Soviet Com munism had suffered a humi liating defeat before the world, in its backing of the Arab confrontation with Israel. But he was allowed to rise above this defeat, to recover prest ige. He was permitted to stride across the world stage here virtually unchallenged, a towering figure, pampered by the international press, fol lowed step-by-step by the TV networks, sought after re peatedly by the President of the United States (a second invitation had to be blazoned in the press before he granted a “summit” with the U. S. President). What he said at his press conference (following two dra matic “confidential” meetings with the President) was in character with but not as im portant as was, at the end of the conference, his off-hand reaffirmation of the Commu nist goal of world domination. At the conference, he said: (1) Soviet Communism would negotiate toward “peace” in the Middle East only after Israel had withdrawn its troops from conquered areas; (2 that rearming the Arab nations was a Soviet decision that need not concern other nations; (3) that the U. S. could expect nothing from the USSR until American troops were withdrawn unconditional ly from South Vietnam; and (4 that President Johnson might be invited to visit Russia — if troops were withdrawn from Vietnam and other Soviet demands accommodated. The Truth Unchallenged Some segments of the Ameri can press reported that Kosy gin’s subsequent visit to Red Cuba was to persuade Castro not to interfere with Latin American nations (since, the reports said, Russia wanted good trade relationships with Latin America). The truth is that Soviet Communism in January 1966 (with Kosygin at the helm) set up Cuba as the world-wide training head quarters for Communist guer rilla warfare, with Latin America as a testing ground. The truth is that Castro, with his Communist beachhead in the Western hemisphere, is a key man in Soviet strategy to achieve “the proletariat dic tatorship over the world.” Soviet arms are in the hands o f Castro-trained guerrillas operating in all Latin Ameri can nations. Kosygin is de lighted with this situation. It would be a historic de velopment if the Soviets de cided to discard their world ambitions and end their aggres sive, subversive campaigns in every nation. But there is not one shred of evidence that they intend to do so.
