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.

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.

FATHERS
In the years between 8 and
14, when so many boys be
gin drifting away from their
fathers, there’s no better
sport than hunting—an area
where Dad is the “old pro”
—for bridging the gap be
tween the generations.
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. ^ „
