Treatment Listed
For Heat Illness

High temperatures and the
rush of summer work make II
easy to be overcome by any OF
several forms of heat illness
Columbus County farmers were
warned this week by County
Agent Charles Paper of the State
College Extension Service.
The county agent explained
that sunstroke follows prolonged
exposure to the sun, whereas
heatstroke is caused by excessive
heat with or without exposure tc
the sun. The effects are the same
and either may be fatal.
SYMPTOMS are hot and dry
skin, face rcd and flushed
breathing hard and loud, pupils
enlarged, and, in some cases, un
consciousness.
Prevention is the best cure
Mr.. Rapcr said, but everyone
should know what to do in case
heat illness does strike. Here Is
what the National Safety Coun
ell suggests for sunstrokc OF
heatstroke:
1. Move patient to a cool, shady
place, strip to the underclothcs
Law on back with head anc
shoulders raised.
2, Apply ice or cold wet clothe!
TO head, cool the body gradually
with a cool bath or with a hos'
or wet clothes and rub limbs to
ward the heart.
3. After treating for severa
minutes, stop and observe pau
cnt. If skin becomes hot again
resume treatment.
4. If patient is conscious give
cool drings. not ice cold. DO no
give stimulants.
5. Get patient to a doctor or
hospital as soon IS possible. con
tin,1e the treatment in the am
bulancc.
Tn cases OF heat exhaustion, th'
naticnt's skin is cold and clammv
A simple rule may serve as
pl,ide and prevent confusion a
70 treatment: If the patient i
cold make him warm; if he's hot
make him cool.

Korean War Talk
Converse tioral Item

Practically every local person
was talking about the undcclar
ed war in Korea this week as
American ground forces were
added to the air and naval forces
already in action against the
Russian Satellite nation.
Former service men foreseelng
the unhappy possibility Of help
inc fight a second war in thell
generation were none to happy
about the situation. Neither were
those individuals who had sons,
husbands and fathers who might
oe called should the fracas devc'
lop into full-fledged world
war III.
Most peope were talking in
terms of this being merely a
skilmish with little possibility OF
a declaration of war. However,
many others predicted Russian
intervention once the United
States forces started a successful
assault against the North kor
cans. Up to this time, the Com
munists have had all the better
Of the fight and have pushed the
South Koreans practically out O.
their country.
The thought in most peoples
minds seemed to be that once
American forces were in Korea
in large numbers, that the tide
would turn in favor OF South
Korea and that a crisis would be
at hand then. That would seem
10 the logical moment for Russl9
20 make the decision as to Whe-
her she wanted to go to war OF
whether the Korean incident was
ust another attempt to see how
N she could go without arouslns
The democracirs of the world.

thinks this will be true N that
dealers are short of tobacco now
and the crop in some areas seems
to he shorter than IN previous
years.
Crops in the Tabor City area
have suffered 4 great deal from
the heat and dry weather but
rains the latter part OF last week
and this week have performed
miracles TO some crops and local
warehouScmen do not anticipate
any tremendous loss as had been
forecast before the rains came.
8. Alton Carroll. local ware
houScman. said last week that
some crops looked pretty
good and that the rains that fell
would be OF great value in this
section and others. Mr.. Carroll
said also that he did not believe
that the section right through
here was damaged as much as
some others.
lIr. Coleman. speaking after
attending the Raleigh meeting
said that there was little doubt
that the rains had gone a long
way toward bringing the crop ur
to par but that there has been
some loss. However. Mr.. Cole
man expressed the belief that the
price was going to be good this
season asd that farmers can eN
pect this to help offset a possible
short crop.
Il personally believe that to
aacco will bring $50 or more or
he average" Mr.. Coleman said
We in the border belt hac
hoped for a later opening dat
his season because the crop Is
later. But the Georgia market
wanted to open early and so did
he other North Carolina belts
and we had no choice but t
stick with the August 1 date,
Mr.. Coleman said.
The market opened August 2
last wear but this year the date
is the same in relation to week.
that is the first Tuesday Is
August.
