Guarding Your Health
Research Centers
On Youngsters
By LOUIS L. BATTEY, M.D.
President
Georgia Heart Association
The heart you save may be
the heart of a child, perhaps not
yet bom.
Or maybe it’s a “blue baby,”
half a continent away, who will
soon be given the gift of a full
life by a miraculously complex
and delicate open-heart opera
tion.
Or it could be your own heal
thy youngster, who will be pro
tected from the dreaded rheu
matic fever aftermath of a
•‘strep” infection by prompt
treatment with penicillin.
All these young hearts and
thousands more are the direct
'and dramatic beneficiaries of a
■ mere two decades of medical
! progress. Twenty years ago, the
outlook for a blue baby — a ba
by bom with certain defects of
the heart and blood vessels —
was poor. Open-heart surgery
was still in the realm of science
I fiction, and heart-lung machines
were only projects on an inves
tigator's drawing board.
Before medicine had a sure
fire weapon — penicillin — to
knock out streptococcal infec
tions, "strep” throats cast a sin
ister shadow of rheumatic fever
whenever they struck. And be
cause there were no defenses,
they might strike again and ag
ain, each time carrying the
threat of more damage to the
victim’s heart.
> Even the statistics are drama
tic. The death rate for rheuma
tic fever and rhematic heart
disease among children and
young adults 5-24 years of age
: has declined 83 percent over the
past 20 years. As many as 100,
000 Americans probably owe
their lives to heart surgery. And

In a stew about what range
to buy? Simmer down.
Here are 12 reasons why
today’s families choose GAS ranges.
L GREATER DEPENDABILITY — Natural gas
service rarely fails. And gas ranges are equally
dependable. Burners are guaranteed for life.
2. INSTANT RESPONSE — Gas burners and ovens
go on and off quick as a wink. No waiting for warm*
up and no hang-over heat
3. COOK-AND-KEEP OVEN—Cooks a whole
dinner, turns itself down automatically, and keeps
food serving-perfect.
4. BURNER-WITH-A-BRAIN —The automatic top
burner has a sensing element to hold the temperature.
5. CIRCULATION OF FRESH AIR IN OVEN —
Lets you cook without mixing odors and flavors.
6. CLOSED-DOOR BROILING —The clean, blue
flame consumes smoke and grease vapor from food.
7. FLEXIBILITY—A gas flame can be adjusted
! to fit any utensil.
8. CLEANLINESS—Instant-off helps prevent boil
overs. Gas is 100% clean.
9. SPECIAL FEATURES —Gas ranges offer every
special feature you could want—-from infra-ray
broilers to range-top griddles to eye-level ovens.
10. BEAUTY—Built-in, slide-in or free-standing.
Available in a wide variety of styles and colors.
11. SERVICE Gas ranges require less service and
—
fewer replacement parts. Yet when you need it, your
gas company provides prompt, courteous service.
12. ECONOMY_Your dependable gas range will
last years longer, save on fuel, servicing and parts.
Those are 12 reasons why today’s families cook with
gas. Visit your nearest gas company office ana pick

before the era of open-heart sur
gery. Surgical repair of a num
ber of inborn or acquired heart
defects has enabled many wo
men to conceive and bear chil
dren. Necessary corrective c_ sur
gery has even been carried out
during pregnancy, with survival
of both mother and baby.
Each year we gain new know
ledge and new weapons, giving
more and more children a chan
ce to live and grow normally.
As scientists learn more about
the manner in which heart de
fects arise in the developing em
bryo, even th e frontier of life be
fore birth will be breached.
Medical research will one day
find the answer to the big rheu
matic fever question: how do
streptococcal infections trigger
an attack of rheumatic fever,
why are only a small percentage
susceptible, and what causes the
heart damage rheumatic fever
may leave in its wake? This
knowledge can help us to con
sign rheumatic fever to medi
cal limbo, along with such for
mer scourges as smallpox and
polio.
The American Heart Associa
tion has been an important mo
tive power propelling heart dis
ease research in this country
since the first Heart Fund cam
paign in 1949. The money given
by Americans, year after year,
has been the sustaining power,
making medical progress possi
ble, and also making it possible
for the Heart Association to
translate this progress into life
saving educational and commu
nity service programs.

4.4 Million
Mothers,
Children Get Aid
WASHINGTON (UPI) —A
record 4.4 million mothers and
children are receiving federal
state aid designed to help
fatherless families, welfare
figures showed today.
The caseload of the con
troversial Aid to Dependent
Children (ADC) program has
been rising steadily since World
War H, partly because of
population growth. And, offi
cials said, at least some of the
increase stems from a 1961 law
extending coverage to children
of unemployed fathers.
Although reluctant to Inter
pret the climbing ADO case
load, one official said It
reflected the growing “plight of
the under-educated.”
A special Labor Department
study last year said it was an
indication of the breakdown in
the family structure of Negroes
living in the urban North.
The November ADO reci
pients lnclcded 4,393,000 per
sons in 1,056,000 families, a
welfare administration spokes
man said. The total Included
3,311,000 children, who alone
exceed the 3,118,000 persons in
815,000 families who received
such payments five yean ago.
ADC payments normally go
to mothers and children who
are deprived of support because
of the death, desertion or
disability of the father.
Each state has its own
yardstick of eligibility for
payments, which range from
$9.20 a person per month in
Mississippi to $51 In Minnesota.
The federal government usually
pays more than half the cost of
the program, first started in
1935 to help widows and
orphans.
Some critics charge that ADC
encourage illegitimacy because
payments are made for child
ren bom out of wedlock if the
mother meets other qualifica
tions. Its defenders contend it
would be poor policy to punish
children by cutting off aid
because of their mother’s
actions.

stirred opposition to any kind of
“tax” increase.
Sanders’ supplemental budget
received some opposition.
Rep. James H. (Sloppy) Floyd
of Trion led the first attack in
the committee of the whole
House. He opposed a $188,000
item to raise Superior Court
judges’ pay from $16,000 to
$18,000.
He was joined by Rep. Her
schel Lovett of Dublin, who said
the greatest danger of the out
lay was its ultimate effect of in
creasing the fiscal burden of
judges’ retirement pay.
However, the vote went
against them 68-27.
Finance Mali
A Sanders’-proposed $350,000
otualy to help Atlanta anl Ful
ton County finance a mall near
the Capitol drew opposition
from Rep. Hines Brantley of
Candler. Brantley said a study
committee had agreed the state
schools needed more funds for
maintenance instead. The pro
posal carried by a voice vote.
Other attempts to increase
bond outlays for school class
rooms also failed.
A highlight of the opening of
the 1666 General Assembly’s
second week was a joint session
addressed by Sens. Richard
Russell and Herman Talmadge.
Both Georgia senators de
nounced foes of U. S. policy in
Viet Nam.
In the Senate, members voted
36-0 to establish a select com
mittee to screen all retirement
bills because of an embarrass
ment that occurred last year
when a bill that was enacted
proved more far reaching than
anticipated.
Webb, who won reconsidera
tion of the bill in a dramatic
confession of his carelessness
last year, introduced the new
measure as a safeguard against
future errors.
Sen. Robert Smalley, who
sponsored a measure to phase
out the positions of solicitors and
judges emeritus and to replace
them with retirement status,
agreed to delay floor action un
til it could be studied by the
new select committee.
In other depelopments:
-The House and Senate joint
ly passed a resolution endorsing
“Affirmation Viet Nam,” a
movement by Georgia college
stuednts supporting U. S. action
in Viet Nam.
-Negro Rep. Grace Hamilton
and two other lawmakers intro
duced a bill providing payment
of relocation cost of families
and businesses forced to move
because of highway routes pass
ing through their property.
-Rep. Roscoe Thompson,
former assistant attorney gen
eral in the 1940’s and now a
Columbus attorney, said he
would seek a constitutional
amendment to reduce the 205 -
seat House to 108 seats—two for
each senatorial district—by Jan.
1869.
-Sen. Kyle Yancey of Cobb
County said he would introduce
a bill Tuesday that would pro
hibit advertising of alcoholic
beverages “anywhere, by any
means, device or method.”
-Webb disclosed he was plan
ning a constitutional amend
ment abolishing the odd - year
split legislative session ap
proved in 1962 to provide more
time for budget study.
Rep. Jim Westlake of Decat
ur proposed a state unAmerican
activities committee.
-Rep. Bobby Johnson of War
renton collected more than en
ough signatures for House pass
age of a bill requiring patrol
cars to have easily spotted dome
lights and a uniform two - tone
color of Confederate blue and
gray.
-Sen. Fletcher Thompson of
Fulton County said he would in
troduce a bill giving the state
the right to request a change of
venue in criminal proceedings
Under present law the defense
only may petition for a change.

Hill Trying To
Block Tax
‘Bonanzas’
ATLANTA (UPI)—Sen. Ren
der Hill of Greenville today said
he wanted to block efforts by
local taxing authorities to par
lay a recent court decision into
revenue bonanzas that would
overburden property holders. .
Hill said he is planning legis
lation to prevent tax officials
from allowing a rise in the ad
valorem levy on property by
more than 10 per cent this year
and 5 per cent a year thereaf
ter.
Hill said a recent court de
cision requiring all assessments
in various counties to be made
on a uniform ratio to actual
market value could double the
taxes paid by some property
holders.
As a result of court orders,
State Revenue Commissioner
Hiram Undercofler has decreed
that all counties collect proper
ty taxes on the basis of 40 per
cent of an estimated full mar
ket value.
Hill said the sudden switch to
a full value yardstick would im
pose a heavy shock in some
counties where property valua
tions have been assessed low,
with this being offset by ex
tremely high millage rates.
Hill said it has been assumed
the tax officials could act
quickly enough to lower the
millage rates in communities
where the court’s ruling means
a drastic boost in assessments,
but he said he feared some lo
cal tax officials may refuse to
do this.
