Thursday, February 20, 19B4 r THE PtAmtiEALEl The two great issues of the 88th Congress, the Tax Reform hill and the Civil Rights bill, were debated extensively last week in the Senate arid House, respectively. The ulkj?» mate outcome of the Tax bill is still in doubt and the benefits of this legislation are--at least --T'loblenratieal. c However, t he House h^s coneluded action on the Civil Rights bill and its passage is a virtual certainty. In addition, the effect on the nation and on the world of the 19t>4 ^pvi! Rights bill is sure to be felt moredeeply than that of almost any other bill passed during this century. That the members, themselves, sense the historicimpact of this legislation has been evidenced by their exceptionally good attendance during debates on Ihe bill in the House of Representatives. It should be remembered that the Civil Rights bill before the 88t h Congress covers (1) voting rights; (2) public accommodations; (3) school desegregation; (4) fair employment practices, and other subjects. In some parts of our country, Negro Americans are deprived of the right t6 vote. In a great many states, acommodations in restaurants and hotels are denied to our Negro citizens. In several states, school segregation is enforced, despite United States Supreme Court decisions which prohibit this practice. The changes which will be wrought by the passage of the Civil Rights bill are far-reaching and momentous. A way of life which has continued, despite the adoption of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution following the Civil War, is about to end. The members of Congress realize, this- -and they have by Charles F. Carpentier Secretary of State YOU MAY NEVER WAKE UP The CaBe of the Drowsy Driver is a title which nsight well be applied to many of the seemingly unexplalnable highway accidents which have been Investigated by our State Troopers. These are the types of accidents in which there are few, if any, clues. Usually there is not even the evidence of a skid mark to indicate that the driver tried to stop. Many are single Vehicle cases in which drivers run oil the road or fail to turn at a curve. Highway patrolmen are inclined to believe that some of the head-on collisions, especially at night, are caused by sleepy drivers who drift over the center line into the path of oncoming traffic. ("He's dead alright. There's absolutely no sign of anything that might have caused tt. We'd better call the police." There is only one sensible thing for a drowsy driver to do. Get off the road . . . don't try to fight it! Otherwise, he may never wake up. In some cases a coffee stop and a stretch of the legs will restore a driver to full competency. If he is really sleepy, however, the only remedy is sleep. Even a short nap can mean the difference between safe arrival or disaster. Expressways are provided with rest areas and service stops. Use them when you first begin to notice that sleepy sensation. If you can't find a rest stop, pul! off on the shoulder in a SAFE place. Turn off the engine. (It is better to catch cold than to die of carbon monoxide poisoning.) Turn on the parking lights and lock the doors.

In the debates which have taken place, it is not possible to separate the'good from the bad, the fair-minded from the prejudiced. It must be assumed that any who debated the issues are earnestly seeking solutions to the problems of racial discrimination. It is recognized by all that many Negroes have been deprived of their voting rights, equal education and employment opportunities, and other human rights -- through discriminatory practices. The Republican and Democratic Whips, who customarily compel attendance of members on partisan issues, can take little or no credit for this past week's good attendance. Congressman Arend of Illinois, the Republican Whip, has stated that votes on the Civil Rights bill, including amendments and the vote on final passage, are a matter of individual conscience. Congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana, Democratic Whip, is reported to be opposed to the Civil Rights bill in its entirety and has not summoned the Democratic members to be on the House floor. Indeed, he was busy with other Congressional duties and was rarely in evidence, himself, during the House debates. In addition to the eager attendance of House members, the visitors' galleries were generally filled--with others lining up in the corridors to await admission, during consideration of the Civil Rights Bill. Sessions of the House of Representatives last week extended into the late hours of the evening in a determined effort to bring the Civil Rights Bill to a vote "before Lincoln's birthday." While the passage by the House of Representatives of the 1964 Civil Rights bill on the eve of the birthday of the Great Smancipator is clearly coincidental, it is to be hoped that -- in this legislative search for equality of citizenship -- we may promote the universal desire for racial harmony.

The McHenry Plaindealer SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING Beware this winter when driving your car with the windows and vents closed'-or"couping yourself up in a small, poorly ventilated room -- it Could bring death from carbon monoxide poisoning. Each year carlxm monoxide snuffs out the lives of more than 600 Americans, making it one of our most deadly accident hazards. Most frequently victims are hunting parties in northwokds cabins, motorists who warm up their cars in closed garages and people who sit or sleep in parked cars with the motor running. What makes carbon monoxide so deadly? The basic reason is that it usually is not detected until too late. J A prodiiet of imperfect combustion in staves and furnaces --as well as a component of automobile exhaust fumes - carbon monoxide gas is tasteless, colorless, non-irritating and practically odorless. Its only warning is certain recognizable symptoms that occur as it works its way into the bloodstream. In usual order of occurrence these symptons include: 1. Tightness about the forehead. 2. Headache and dizziness. 3. Tiredness and blurred vision. 4. Nausea, vomiting and heart flutter. She is survived by her husband, John V. Cowling; two daughters, Mrs. Robert Holmes of Spokane, Wash., and Mrs. Clifford Shipman of Sedalia, Md.; three grandchildren; two sisters, Bessie Shaw of Walla Walla, Wash., and Florence Hamlin of Crystal Lake. The body rested at t he Schutt, McFarlin and Saunders funeral home in Harvard until 1:30 Tuesday, when Rev. Russell Koenig officiated at last rites, with burial in Salem Mound cemetery, Bristol. JOSEPH WIEDER Last rites were held for Joseph L. Wieder, 60, of Chicago last Saturday in St. Hilary's Catholic church, with burial in St. Boniface cecetery. Mr. Wieder was the father of Mrs. Otto Heinz, Jr., of Mc- Hpnriy. 5. Unconsciousness--and finally death. Death results When the Inhaled carbon monoxide displaces oxygen in the red blotod cells, causing what amounts to suffocation of the body tissues. .Although carbon monoxide poisoning occurs most often in closed garages with the automobile motor running and in homes with leaky gas fittings, poorly vented gas heaters, clogged chimneys and improperly operated damfiers, it also works its deadly effcet on the highway. Many of the 180,000 highway accidents that oceur in this country each year are caused by drivers who black out or fall asleep from slow absorption of carbon monoxide into theii cars. Ironically, open car windows --presumed to give protection from this danger -- actually incrcase the hazard by creating a draft which helps exhaust fumes seep up through the floor boards. For this reason motorists are advised to keep their front vents open except when close to other cars in bumperto- bumper traffic. Should you encounter a case of carbon monoxide poisoning, inove the victim into fresh air ;;nd summon "a doctor IMMEDIATELY. Meanwhile, keep the patient, warm and render mouth-to-rriout h respiration -- his life could depend on it. Warning to all middle-aged, poorly-conditioned overweight men and women: This winter, spare the snow shovel and save your heart. Every winter the combination of a heavy,'wet snowfall, wind blowing across the driveways and poorly conditioned persons laboring furiously with a snow shovel leads to hundreds of fatal heart attack cases. Why is this combination so lethal? First of all, the energy output in shoveling a moderatelyheavy snowfall is about the samp as if the individual were running seven or eight miles an hour. In the poorly-conditioned person this unaccustomed strain may be enough in itself to cause a heart attack. Secondly, exposure to cold causes the blood pressure to rise. Add to this the extra effort of walking through snow compounded by at least 10 pounds of over-coat, galoshes, sweater, scarf, hat and gloves --and the net total effect becomes dangerous. To protect against fatal heart attack or the painful symptom of angina^, pectoris, sons should restrict their exercises to the home during severe weather. ° This advice is phased on the anatomy and physical limitations of the heart itself. :i. The heart is a muscular pump, nourished principally by blood flowing through the coronary arteries. In elderly persons, especially, the coronary arteries may become partially obstructed by a thickening of the arterial walls, resulting in a reduced supply of blood to nourish the heart muscle. With yigorous exercise -such as shoveling snow or pushing a stalled automobile--the heart must pump mu<4t faster andthet muscle therefore needs more blood than the partially - obstructed coronary arteries can supply. The resulting mfe" dernourishment of the heart muscle produces .the chest pain called angina pectoris. Snow shoveling should |>e. left for the younger generation or those accustomed to regulat physical exercise. If you do riot fall into either of these catesw gories but insist on shoveling your own walk this winter anyway, tackle the job irt reason-! able stages--and stay alive. ~ TERWOE ' •-& * • ~ -<<*- •Wo.?* i & % At the party Ted never said To the drinks wMsh set him a§iot*i*g Cracked up im ® freeze (An accordiom squeeze}? _ When he couldn't wmct'to stick MnI PREVENT THOSE WINTER DRIVING WOES The Safe Winter Driving League presents the following safety reminder from the National Safety Council: "Winter weather requires the utmost attention to driving.
