Noted Surgeon Dead

In the death of DR.. L. L. Hill Of
Montgomery, Alabama, medical science
and particularly the surgical branch of
that profession has lost an extraordi-
narily able and in one case at least an
exceptionally daring man. 1t was Doc
tor Hill who first performed success
full operation in the cardiac cavity. He
sewed up the heart of Negro boy
who had been stabbed. 1t was this
operation that encouraged DR.. De Barth
Shorb of Los Angeles, much younger
man, to attempt, and succeed, in a
similar venture.
An intimate friend of Lister, for
whom he named his son, Senator Lister
Hill of Alabama, Doctor Hill received
medical degrees from New York uni
versity in 1881 and Jefferson Medical
college in 1882 later taking post-gradu-
ate courses at New York Polytechnic
Medical school and Kings College hos
pital, London. In 1910 the University
Of Alabama gave him the LID. de-
gree.
He was a native son of Montgomery
and having completed his study period
returned to his home city to practice
his profession, starting in 1884.
DR.. Hill became county physician
in 1893, and was visiting surgeon of
Laura Hill Hospital from 1897 to 1882.
He had also been visiting surgeon of
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, surgeon
general of the Alabama National Guard
and surgeon of the Second Alabama
Regiment.
Doctor Hill was president of the
Montgomery Board of Health in 1893
and president of the United States
Board of Pension Examiners four years
later. He was fellow of the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons, a member of
the American Medical Association,
former president and grand life coun-
sellor of the Alabama State Medical
Association, and a former president of
the Montgomery Medical and Surgical
Society. He was also a member of
Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma NJ.

Editorial Comment
DATE FOR COAL STRIKES

Ii the coal strike is to become an annua! event
we should ike to suggest to John L. Lewis
and the bltuminous mine operators that they
change the expiration date OF their contracts
from March 81 to, say, May 81.
It's still chilly throughout most OF the country
in April. and. in lot of places, snow in May
is not uncommon A tire feels mighty good on
frosty evenings This is poor season for folks
to have 20 cut down on coal.
So the strike ought to be scheduled 10 start at
a time more convenient for the public. Il base
hall officials scheduled the World Series to take
nlace at Lake Placid in January, people would
kick and witt, good reason.
The same goes for the coal strike. The public
;s going to start complaining after while
blaming either Mr.. Lewis or the operators for
needless inconvenience.
So. if we were John L., we should insist on
starting the new contract and the new strike on
.J1ne /. Thai way it would be possible to tie
I'M the mines and good deal of industry, to
slow down national production and to have a
Good strike before the first snow.
The public wouldn't shiver. And he striking
miners could get lot OF fishing. SALISBURY

Adios, Cavalry

World War II demonstrated, at least
to the satisfaction of the War Depart
ment that cavalry is outmoded. There
is no place now for mounted troops.
On Thursday of last week the Army
abolished this branch of the armed
service, merging what is left of it with
the armored forces.
Save for small units to be used on
difficult terrain, and pack animals, the
horse and the mule are through in war.
The decision was bound to come. In
training for the war recently concluded
cavalry was moved by truck, and dur
ing the war itself the one large mount
ed force to see service was the First
Cavalry division that drove into Manila
and later occupied Tokyo, after the
Japanese surrender, but fought un-
mounted.
So cavalry as a fighting element
goes into the discard as unsuited to
modern warfare. But it made history
history-while it lived. If
Lighthouse Harry Lee, Nathan Bedford
Forrest, "Jeb" Stuart, Custer, Pickett
and Sheridan were still among the liv-
ing we can well imagine their resent
ment of such an order and united effort
to find some important use for their
mounted troops.

Building Costs

The news columns of leading fl
nancial publication recently carried an
account of rising building costs that
would have staggered a reader ten
years ago. 1t led off with the warning,
Don't expect contractor to tell you
how much your proposed new home
will cost-or when he will have it fin
ished. Costs are changing too fast on
both materials and labor; supplies are
scarce and delays too frequent" Speci-
fic examples were then cited "A
druggist in Logansport, Indiana, con-
tracted for a house. 1t was started
last October on a cost-plus basis with
builders estimate of $4,000 :. 1t is
only Is per cent finished and the re-
vised total cost is already $4,000. 1t
IS expected to go much higher by the
time it is finished :. Another builder
putting up two cost-plus homes in an
effort to determine costs for future
use, fears the figures will be outdated
before the houses are completed"

Must Register Again

The attention of all eligible voters
is called to an announcement by the
Board of Elections and carried in the
daily press to the effect that if they
intend to vote either in the May pri-
mary or the November general election,
as they should, they must register
again
The new registration is necessitated
by certain changes in existing precinct
boundaries and the creation of several
new precincts.
Registration books will be first OPEN
ed on April 27, again on May 4, and be
closed at sunset on May II. Registra-
tion clerks will be on hand on the three
Saturdays.
If it is impossible for voters to visit
their polling places during the day, the
registrars may be contacted at their
home in the evening, by appointment,
and in the case of invalids will go to
the voters home.
The principal thing to be remem-
bered, and forgetful persons are en-
couraged to tie strings around their
fingers to help them keep the matter
in mind, is to enroll on the new regis
tration books and not sacrifice their
franchise in the balloting either next
month or next fall.

Religion
Day By Day
DETHRONING CHRIST


Creeping steadily upon the cita-
del of Christian faith at the pres
ent time is an ever-growing army
of attack, flying the battleflags OF
'Tolerance' and Liberalism"
It's strength lies in the good will
of men and women who thought
lessly have fallen into the assump-
ton that lone religion is as good
as another"
All unintentionally, they lend
their influence to the insidious at
tack upon the Saviourhood and
Lordship of Jesus Christ. They
have erected new and modern"
pantheon, wherein Jesus and Moses
and Buddha and Mohammed and
Confucius, and a whole line OF les
ser leaders of humanity's spiritual
quest, stand on a level. They abb
dicate the singular claims of Jesus
Christ as mans only Redeemer.
Honest-minded Christians must
face the challenge to their faith in
the present propag ganda for "reli-
gious tolerance" Carried to its
conclusion, it means the dethrone-
ment of Christ, whom Christians
believe to be the worlds only
Saviour.
With all loving consideration and
good will toward the peoples who
do not yet know Him, and with
full appreciation of whatever is
good in other religions, we never
theless must preach and practice
the Gospel of the Son of God.

Thirty minutes later we sat down

me that there is such speed. Yet,

A MANS WORK HAT

The Constitution is specific about
it. A man has certa' n inalienable
rights to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. And among those
rights is the privilege of keeping 2

chooses. When one is Workino
around the fro II lawn or backward
spading the garden Or cleaning the
garage on Saturday afternoon he
needs hat Of certain definite
qualifications.
Since inalieaable rights are in

but experience over the years leads
one to set forth certain tentative
qualifications for satisfac Glory

ton and something should go
wrong and the wing, in which
there is gasoline tank, should
burst-Well you can imagine what
would happen.
They aren't afraid of a wing
breaking off in flight so you may
60 ahead and smoke.
Same thing applies to safety
belts. You don't have to keep
them tied around you during the
flight, but a plane attendant comes
around and asks you to tie it
when they're getting ready to land.
Reason for this is that if the plane
were to do flip over or something
you'd just get a jerking about if
you had your safety belt tied
around you. On the other hand, if
you didn't you'd be apt to shoot
out through window, or else get
pretty badly showed around.
The league brothers-they're w.
&C., who's president and general
manager of the line; and Earl l..
(Buck), who's secretary and treas
urer-became interested years and
wears ago in flying. During the
war they were test pilots for Con-
solidated Vultee.
In Saturdays flight Puck was at
the controls part of the time.
Another thing l found out Satur-
day; it isn't necessary to chris
ten a plane with champagne like
they do ships. Miss Dorothy John

it at Douglas airport in Charlotte
Well, first thing I knew Norman
Young, of radio station WAYS
in Charlotte told his audience that
Miss Johnson had just christened
the plane.
All I had seen Miss johnson do
was smile for the photographers.
If she made a pass at tha. plane
nobody was aware of it. She GER
tainly had no champag gne.
Incidentally, Miss johnson will

SPRING EXERCISE
BURDENS HEART
,BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN. Mn

The extra weight which msnv 4,
us have put on during the wjntos
should be she'd before we vieid :.
that impulse to get out in the onon
and exercise. Our hearts are = w."
older than they were this time I.s.
year, and they, too, should be givon
chance to pick up the slack bs
fore we try to do the things We did
last summer and fall.
Men in middle and the early mart
of late life with weakened bearts
may pay the penalty for trying n
be too active on the golf course or
the tennis court in the spring.
The legs act as a brake on tbs
body to prevent injury to the heart
Most athletes find that at about tba
age of 40 their legs tire more easiIv
and they lose the ability to co-ord.
nate their movements perfectly.
Most sedentary workers have
tendency to put on weight during
the winter, and there is a great
temptation to work this off through
exercise. But that is not advisable
for the heart, which has had ia
carry an extra load all winter, NAV
not be in very good shape.
The proper procedure is to diet
and to get rid of the excessive
weight, and then to begin gradu.
ated exercise program.
Shortness of breath on exertlop
results from failure of the heart to
pump enough blood to the lungs
to replenish the oxygen and to get
rid of the vase. It may, of course,
also be caused by emotional stress
During the winter, sendentary
workers who experienced shortness
of breath ON exertion took it easier
which in turn, caused more fat 10
accumulate.
The average person has a lot Of
heart reserve which he never uses
but sudden demands on the heart
may cause it to fail in spite of this
fact. If the exertion is gradual and
followed by sufficient rest, it will
not be long before the heart can re,
spond in an efficient way.
The open air calls us at this time
of the year, and there are many
ways in which we may enjoy the
benefits of healthful exercise A
daily walk, work around the yard
a Victory garden, or few holes of
golf will get us into condition for
heavier exertion later.
The heart is a muscle, and, like
other muscles, it becomes sore and
tired from unaccustomed use The
sore body muscles which always
follow unusual exertion are com
mon to all even young people.
Get your weight down, start out
gradually, and rest at regular in
tervals, or have a physical exam
ination and be guided by your
physicians advice.
