Regardless of what side of the cholesterol fence you ride on, heart disease poses a serious problem for us all. It is regrettable that backbiting and scare tactics purely for financial accruement must cloud the issue of research. If the real causes of the disease are to be found then perhaps it is time to spend more money on legitimate research instead of costly color induements. The facts are needed and soon if we are not to perish from acute “cholesterol phobia.” Society 23 The Society of Farm Women 23 held the March meeting at the home of Mrs. Leroy Funk, Washington Boro Rl, with devotions in charge of Mrs. Lester Newcomer.
