Zion Methodist (Church in January

year 1955. During the year, the re-
port showed that 80% of the total
membership of the Orange Metho-
dist Church School was present each
Sunday, the average offering being
16 cents per member. Much of the)
credit for this outstanding achieve-
ment is due to the efficient super-

Captain Singleton (Sheaffer, who
commands the State Police detail
assigned to the Pennsylvania Turn-
pike, ascribes Turnpike accidents to
these three causes:
Fatigue; excessive speed; and bad
tires.
“Why do people fall asleep at the
wheel 2” he asked. “Why will a per-
son wear $20 shoes on his feet and
keep junkyard tires on his car?
Why do they drive at speeds exces-
sive for any highway ?
“Human reason and good com-
mon sense offer the only over-all
guarantee of highway safety,” he
continued. ‘‘Accidents will be re-
duced to a minimum when drivers
realize they can’t gamble with in-
ferior tires, exhaustion, over-in-
dulgence or recklessness on the open
road.
Your Health
From The Luzerne County
Medical Society
Something can be done about
heart disease.
* * *
This is the new look, the new
approach, the new verdict.
* * *
Until recently, a diagnosis of
heart disease was considered tanta-
mount to a‘death sentence.
* * *
There has been a change in the
attitude of both the physician and
the public toward heart diséase.
* * *
We know now that heart disease
is not unconquereble.
* * *
Treatment with the sulfa drugs or
antibiotics can check the strep in-
fection responsible for rheumatic
fever and rheumatic heart disease.
* * *
Heart valve deformities often
found in people with old cases of
rheumatic heart disease are now
being corrected by new surgical
techniques.
* * *
Drugs that can effectively lower
blood pressure without producing
severe reaction in patients have
been recently developed.
* * *
Crippling and often fatal blood
clots that form and break loose in
the veins of those with high blood
pressure are now preventable
through the use of new drugs.
* #* *
New knowledge on dietary re-
quirements and improved treat-
ment of glandular disturbances dur-
ing pregnancy can prevent many
heart defects in the newborn.
* * *
And when infants are born with
congenital heart defects, skillfully
done new surgical procedures can
correct a large proportion of them.
* * *
Encouraging as are these accom-
plishments in the treatment of
heart disease, there is a vast
amount of work still to be done.
* * *
We still do not know the basic
causes for the most common types
of heart disease, namely, hardening
of the arteries and high blood pres-
sure.
* * *
The discovery of these causes and
the prevention and treatment of
hardening of the arteries and high
blood pressure will come eventually.
* * *
From what has already been ac-
complished in the treatment of
heart disease, it is not too optimis-
tic to hope that this disease will
eventually be mastered.
* * *

“A number of well-meant solu-
tions have been publicly suggested,”
Sheaffer continued. “Each may serve
a good purpose in one category or
another. For instance, take some of
the reasons our men have found for
‘asleep-at-the-wheel’ fatalities. First,
can or bottle drinkers who carry
their spirits with them since they
can’t buy the stuff on the Turnpike.
Second, those who load up before
starting their trips, including that
last one for the road. Third, those
who get up in the middle of the
night, without sufficient rest, to get
off to an early start and see just
how quickly a trip to such and such
a place can be made. It always
makes a good story if they live to
tell it. Fourth, those who simply ig-
nore all the limits of human endur-
ance by grossly over-estimating

Sheaffer said the state police have
found drivers forcing themselves to
inhuman driving feats with the use
of benzedrine, dexadrine, ampheta-
mine sulphates, caffeine -citrates
and other “no sleep” concoctions
“until they collapsed and were re-
moved to a hospital or a morgue.”
He discussed so-called highway
nypnosis and sleep contagion which
his practical mind prefers to classify
as ‘‘super-fatigue.” Some of its un-
fortunate victims, he said, possessed
unselfishness exceeded only by their
foolishness. “This is the type who
hurtles his ton or so of explosive
machinery on and on through the
night, too generous to disturb his
passengers who sleep blissfully on
and on to a tragic awakening ,if
any. They forget that it is vital that
superman be kept awake when he’s
attempting superman perform-
ances.”
