PAGE 4—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 17, 1967 Hot Weather— Hazards To Health Now Winter is commonly the time for colds and flu and sneezes, but there are some diseases and acci dents that do their worst in hot weather. The American Medical Asso ciation points out that some of these are obvious. Sun strokes and heat strokes are more likely to occur in July and August than in January. Too much exposure and too much exercise in the hot sun may produce sun stroke. Pro longed excessive heat, either in or out of doors, can cause heat stroke. The symptoms are the same and in either case it is im portant to keep the victim cool and call a physician at once. Heat prostration also is caused by get ting overheated, but instead of de veloping a high fever, the victim becomes cold and clammy. Prompt medical attention and keeping the patient as warm as possible are important. Sunburn has hospitalized many a vacationer. Kveryone shotdd know that gradual exposure to the sun, beginning with a few minutes a day, is the recommended course. But many of us forget to watch the clock and to take pre cautions against sunburn in the excitement of the first clay at camp or at the seashore. The bacteria that cause diar rhea multiply much faster in luke warm foods, and it’s important to keep cold foods in refrigeration and to keep hot foods hot. Swimming is fine exercise and also is good for cooling off on a hot clay. Those with sinus or ear troubles should be careful about swimming. Swimmers should make certain that the water is safe from pollution. A clear mountain stream may look attractive. It also may be loaded with germs. And there still arc cases of typhoid and dysentery from drinking untreated water. Campers can disinfect water by boiling or by commercial disinfec tant tablets. If there are horses or cows around, there is likely to be tetan us. Tetanus (lockjaw) is very seri ous. It can be prevented by injec tions of tetanus toxoid. If your family hasn’t had tetanus boosters recently, get your shots before go ing to the country. Flies, roaches, mosquitoes anc' ticks are troublesome in the ho months. Insecticides and screen. usually can keep them under con trol. In tick country it is essential to make a close examination after disrobing to remove all ticks. Day Nursery is now open Newberry has a new day nursery, which opened Mon day, for daily care of lictle tots and older children. A very spacious home, located at 746 Pope street, has been re modeled for the use of the “Because I Care Day Nurs ery”. Mrs. Mary Shealy, who lives on the Bush River Road, is in charge and being a nurses aid, is experienced in home and hospital nursing. Mrs. Shealy has conducted a foster home for children for the past sev eral years, and has had as many as seven children in her home at one time. All safety and other pre cautions have been met in readying this day nursery, such as passing the rigid in spections of the Newberry Fire Department, the Health and Fire departments. Every ef fort has been made for the safety of those attending. Each day a hot meal will be served at noon. Games of in terest to young children and many other features are being provided, all predicated on the safety of each child. Although more than half of the number that can be ac commodated have been en rolled, there is still room for a few more, and anyone inter ested should all Mrs. Shealy during the day at 4806 or in the evening at 0819. Interested mothers are cordially invited to inspect the nursery. OUR BUSINESS IS INSURANCE But This Is What We Really Sell 1. Protection for most any type of risk. 2.

JOHNSON, Research Director PAINE, WEBBER, JACKSON & CURTIS Member New York Stock Exchange Now ’til Christmas The minislump is over and economists are asking them selves, what now: Business boom or minor recovery? All indi cations I’ve observed seem to justify a bullish outlook for business and the economy for the remainder of 1967 and into " 1968. The business upturn may be much more rapid — and more vigor ous — than that project ed by either the former “recession p red ictors” or the “middle-of-the-roaders.” But I’m less enthusiastic about the prospects for profits. The economic recovery has been stimulated, in large meas ure, by a substantial increase in consumer demand, and this should continue for the balance of the year. Our economy has a tremendous “built-in demand factor,” whose potential can have a dramatic effect on the business curve. Significantly, two areas hard hit by consumer reluctance to spend — automo biles and appliances-have re cently been the object of strong consumer demand. However, despite the in creased consumer spending, and resultant business upturn, I see declining production and rising wage costs putting corporate profits in a bind. Their future is primarily dependent on two fac tors: taxes and labor costs. The Administration is ex pecting such a strong upswing in the economy, an income tax increase has been proposed to prevent inflation and a return to tight money. I feel that this concern is well taken. But how big an increase and when will it be enacted? I predict the increase will probably be higher than a 6% surtax and it may be made ef fective this year, depending on the momentum of the business upturn. However, enacted too soon, a tax increase could choke off the recovery before it really gets under way. Another question that could vitally affect both business and the stock market: Is there to be an auto strike in September? Unfortunately, everything points to it, and its effects on the total economy will be simi lar to the waves created by toss ing a pebble in a puddle. Since stock prices tradition ally tend to rise or fall in antici- become a mammoth, strategic training and supply base for the take-over by World Com munism of the Western hemi sphere, and its shock troops today are carrying death-deal ing rebellion into Latin Ameri can nations. This is a strong statement that no doubt will be chal lenged. It may be an exaggera tion. It could be untrue (if based on unreliable informa tion.) But from the reports that have come to me from usually reliable sources, I feel the statement must be accept ed as true until it is accept ably disproved. Fortress For Spreading War In previous columns in this series we have presented testi mony of witnesses which seem ed to confirm that Russians are in control of Cuba, that Cuba is a bristling military arsenal and fortress, that Rus sian missiles, possibly capable of wiping out strategic areas of the United States are now in Cuba under Russian command, and that Cuba has been desig nated by Russia (and World Communism) as the interna tional headquarters for train ing and arming subversive forces for “wars of liberation” throughout the world, begin ning in Latin America. This column and the next will present evidence of how Rus sian-controlled Cuba is actively subverting Lr n American na tions, with 1 final goal: con quering the most hated “im perialist” — the United States. Here is a sub-head on an article “Guerrillas at War”, published in the June issue of Atlas Magazine, a journal re spected in all ideological com munities for its high quality: To Conquer Hemisphere “Hardened bands of fighting men rove the tangled, reptile- infested backlands of Latin America. Many have returned to their home countries over the water in stealthy ‘inva- , sion\ There is little doubt that these guerrillas were trained and armed in Cuba for a single mission: to fasten Communism (Castro’s brand) on nations that cover vast southern stretches of the Western herni- sphere.” The article itself is written by Mario Menendez Rodriguez and was published originally in Sucesos, a Mexico City journal described by Atlas as “sympathetic” to the Cuban - launched guerrillas. Rodriguez interviewed the guerrilla leaders in the Vene zuela mountains, and in sub sequent columns we will quote from the interviews. In addition to the Rodriguez articles (reminiscent of the widely published American articles on Castro’s bedrag gled revolutionaries in the Cuban hills in 1958 and 1959), I have a list of more than 100 terrorists acts in Latin Ameri ca reportedly carried out by Communist guerrillas in just the two months, December 1966 and January 1967 — docu mented with names, dates, and places. Cuban Exported Warfare Here are brief excerpts: De cember 12, 1966 — Guatemala City: a 30-man guerrilla band attacked a police detachment at San Agustin Acasagustlan. . . . Guerrillas used light wea pons and hand grenades. Car acas: Major Francisco Astu- dillo Suarez, from the Military Martial Court was shot to death by terrorists. He was , shot from behind. Terrorists used a car to flee. December 13 — Guatemala City: a guer rilla group made a hold-up in a train bound for the District of Pacifico, and fled with 30,000 Quetzals. Guerrillas used hand grenades to carry on the attack. December 14 — Car acas: army troops occupied the Communist-infested Central University and seized an ar senal of weapons ranging from hand grenades to machine guns.” According to our informa tion, which 'A- ill be documented in subsequ ’T columns, Rus sian, Czech, and North Viet namese guerrilla war experts are training these Latin Ameri ca!: guerrilla bands, they are armed out of Russian arsenals stored in mammoth caves un der Cuban mountains, and carried in camouflaged boats manned by Russian - Cuban crews to shores up and down the coast of Latin America. pation of individual company earnings, I think investment success will demand the great est degree of selectivity. Recent market strength probably re flected anticipation of at least a moderate business upturn in the last half of this year. But, I feel that while disappointing full year profits—somewhat be low 1966—have probably been discounted, the market may not have discounted a tax increase of more than 6G, a protracted auto strike and escalation of the Vietnam War.

SONS Most communities today have rifle ranges spon sored by groups such as the Boy Scouts, YMCA, PAL or 4-H. You can start your son on the funda mentals of shooting at one of these facilities. With a good single shot 22 caliber rifle, such as Remington’s Model 580 bolt action model—spe cially suited for the be- ginner —and proper guidance, your son joins you in a sport of lifetime satisfaction. Hunting is a part of every boy's natural affinity for the woods. As he learns the ways of wild creatures and emulates his father’s love of the out-of-doors, you’ll see a look of won der in his eyes that noth ing can equal. ^ „ * 0
