st. Croix Democratic
Candidates Attuck
Mrs. Anna Brodhurst

Candidates Of the st. Croix
branch Of the Democratic
Party launched a vicious at
tack on Mrs. Anna Brodhurst,
independent candidate for the
District of st. Croix, in their
meeting in the Market Place.
last night. The attacks against
Unity party candidates were
equally bitter. In one instance
during the lecture" a speak
er called the attention Of the
audience to two dogs that
were fighting; he likened
them to Senator Eric Carroll
and Wilfred Benjamin, fight
ing for bullet votes.
With but one exception, all
the speakers attacked Mrs.
Brodhurst. Henry Rohlsen,
who is campaign manager led
off, followed by Aureo Diaz,
one Of the candidates,
next was Campbell Sealey,
presumably a speaker for the
candidates, and Ron de Lugo.
Mr.. de Lugo told a cheering
that he is going to
tear down all the opposing
candidates on Monday night.

a drug treatment that tenn
porarily stops the heart dead
in its tracks offers new pos
sibilities for improved surgery
inside the heart, a Detroit sur
geon said recently, according
to a UP report to the Herald
Tribune. The article contin-
ues:
DR.. Conrad R. Lam, Of
Henry Ford Hospital, said the
technique, used successfully
in a few cases 50 far, is de-
signed as a new and potential
" advantageous ally Of the ar
tificial heart-lung method
which takes over the work Of
@H@rMM
the heart during surgery on
that organ but still leaves it
beating.
DR.. Lam told of the annual
scientific sessions of the Anne
rican Heart Association with
simplifying details in a news
conference, that while the ar
tificial heart-lung method has
greatly aided surgery within
the heart, because surgeons
can work in a relatively
"bloodless field, some blood
must still get in to nourish
the beating heart itself, re-
quiring suction techniques by
the operators. In addition, he
said, suturing of holes or SINH
lar defects is made more diff
ficult by the beating move
ment Of the heart muscle.
He described a technique in
volving injection Of the drug
Acetylcholine into the aorta,
the main artery Of the body,
and said it temporarily "stops
the heart dead in its tracks"
with these apparent advan-
tages:
i. Greater ease for the sur
geon in working, because no
blood is required to service the
heart itself.
2. There is no requirement
for blood transfusions WHICH
are needed with the artificial
h~eart-lung technique alone.

in school serves as a good re-
minder that it's time to take
stock of our breakfast habits.
For the sixth consecutive
year, the Cereal Institute has
sponsored National Better
Breakfast Month as a public
service.
It was no mere coincidence
that September was chosen as
the month. 1t marks the be-
ginning of new season, q re-
newal of schedules, the start
OF a new school year for your
youngsters, new responsibilities
for everyone.
Why, you ask, all the fuss
over breakfast? Is it really
that important?
Six years of research has
convinced a team of State Uni
verSity of Iowa scientists that
observation-disclosures rob them
selves of potential aIertneSs
and efficiency during the late
morning hours.
You're quicker in your re-
actions. tire less easily, have
a sweeter disposition, and are
less accident-prone when you
start the day off with an ade-
quate breakfast.
If you're skipping this meal
as a means of losing weight
you're attacking the diet prob
lem from the wrong angle.
Eating a good breakfast
doesn't mean you will gain
weight, nor does skipping it
mean you will lose weight,
tests have proven.
It's well-nigh impossible to
have a truly balanced diet
when one meal of the day con-
sists of a cup of black coffee
and a cigarette. From eve
ming till noon is a long time
:. too long +. for the body
to be without fuel.
If you look at it from a
budget point of view, you get
excellent returns on the pitt
lance you spend for an ade-
quate breakfast.
A basic breakfast of fruit
or fruit juice, cereal, milk,
bread, butter and a beverage is
remarkably low in cost for the
food value received.
Your breakfast should sup
ply one-fourth to one-third of
the days nutritional require
ments. Does yours?
Following are recipes for
breakfast breads to add variety
and tempt everyone, especially
those who are never hungry
for breakfast.

surprisingly successful on all

Sowerby to Compose
Major Cathedral Work

his unfailing and uncanny &C
curacy at the keyboard and his
innate musicianship never were
the cause of self-conscious-
ness or rivalry on the part Of
less talented players in en-
semble with him. On the con-
trary. others making music
with Kahn invariably found
themselves at their very best.
Composition and not the
piano was what was nearest
his heart. I cannot remem-
her of ever having heard him
in a solo recital, but when he
was appealed to by a singer he
admired or a string player to
whom he felt sympathetic, he
could always be persuaded to
engage in a single recital or to
60 on a seasons tour. True,
his advanced and little popular
music probably did not pay
him enough to keep his piano
tuned, but if you knew the
man you knew that there were
innumerable recitals in which
money could not buy his par
ticipation.
He was a New Yorker but
played frequently in Wash
ington. Other pianists are said
to have demolished pianofortes
in recital, but Kahn was the
only man known to have
burned one up. Many years
ago he played with a group of
wind and strings in Meridian
Park. At the rehearsal, on a
humid summer afternoon, the
piano became so damp the
action turned sluggish. The
tuner put a light bulb under
the lid, and during the eve
ning's concert the dehumidifier
turned incendiary and the
piano burst in flame. Kahn
put out the fire and finished a
Mozart trio with the impeturb-
ability of a hot piano player.
