Society women formerly used snuff and men were heavy . tobacco chewers. But those fads^pe now almost extinct, so fine next one to go should be the cigarette habit. Notice its threat to auto drivers. Warn your friends who have bad hearts! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D», M.D. CASE K-586: Alice D., aged 17, is a high school senior. "Dr. Crane," she began, "everybody seems to know that drinking drivers are a hazard. "But our science teacher says cigarette smokers likewise should not drive an automobile. . "Isn't that an exaggeration? "For how can cigarettes cause auto crashes?" CIGARETTE DRIVERS Dr. J.L. Malfetti, director of Columbia University's safety education program, recently warned: "If you smoke, don't drive!" After a close study of 1,100 cases of traffic accidents, he found that smokers behind the wheel of an auto were involved in 4 times as many accidents as non-smokers! He explained this on the basis of their distraction while trying to light a cigarette, plus the external smoke fumes that impair vision. But there are other medical reasons to prove why smoking drivers are a serious hazard on the highways. Smokers inhale, carbon monoxide, which produces a functional type of anemia. For it "fixes" the hemoglobin so red blood cells cannot pick up their proper amount of oxygen in the lungs. The blood stream of smokers will thus show as high a carbon monoxide content as 10 per­ cent. Yet a level of only 3 percent reduces their acuteness of vision and depth perception, thus increasing their likelihood of auto ac­ cidents. This reduction in depth perception is likewise a han­ dicap to athletes, especially in tennis, baseball and basket­ ball! Our American Medical association's investigating committee warned that . . drivers should be advised to refrain from frequent smoking prior to, and during, periods of night driving or at high altitudes." The phrase "high altitudes" also shows why patients in danger of heart attacks may throw themselves into a sudden attack, due to merely 3 cigarettes! » For the A.M.A. committee also stated this shocking fact: "The relative oxygen deficiency from smoking 3 cigarettes is equal to that of traveling at a 7,500 foot altitude." Suppose an auto driver's coronary arteries are already hardened and thickened. His heart is thus barely able to operate on the limited oxygen that filters through, even when he is on level ground. Such a patient, if suddenly transported to the thinner oxygen atop a 7,500-foot mountain, can then go into a quick heart attack, even though he is a non-smoker. But after smoking just 3 cigarettes, the cigarette addict makes his blood stream as PAGE 5-Pl£MNDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1971 • Proclamation The first of May will be celebrated throughout America as Law Day U.S.A. It has been set aside by joint resolution of Congress and by presidential proclamation to remind every American that our freedom and our safety do depend upon adherence to the rule of law. The many rights and freedoms which Americans accept as their birthright are made possible only by obedience to the laws established by our elected representatives. Solutions of grievances, no matter how just, cannot be solved by wanton deficient in oxygen (even when on level ground), as if he were that non-smoker who zoomed to the 7,500-foot mountain top! Many smokers still don't realize this serious threat to their hearts, for they focus on lung cancer, apoplexy and emphysema, which are the more familiar killers via tobacco. So send for my booklet "How to Stop the Tobacco Habit," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, pluse 20 cents.

On the occasion of this nation's observance on May 1 of the fourteenth annual celebration of Law Day U.S.A., let each of us seek an increased understanding of, and respect for, the rule of law. For it is law which unites and governs a free people. Now, therefore, I, Richard J. Hyatt, president of the board of trustees of the village of Lakemoor, do hereby proclaim Saturday, May 1, as Law Day, U.S.A. in the village of Lakemoor, and call upon all citizens, organizations chur­ ches, schools and lay groups to recognize this special day through appropriate programs. Dated at the village of Lakemoor, this eighth day of April, 1971. Richard J. Hyatt President Board of Trustees Village of Lakemoor Gift Idea A pebble-filled waterproof red clay saucer makes an attractive, practical base for small gift plants in two or three-inch clay pots. You can keep humidity around the plants by watering the peb­ bles. Capillary action of the clay pots will draw water to plant roots automatically. Leonard Morris of McHenry was one of sixteen Oklahoma Baptist university students who participated in an unusual ed­ ucational experience by serving as Kerr foundation legislative interns in the Oklahoma Legis­ lature recently. . Morris ser­ ved in the offices of Senator Wayne Holden during the month of January, helping the law­ maker with research and ob­ serving state government in ac­ tion. The unique program is the only one of its kind in the state; it is part of the new OBU curriculum which allows stu­ dents to study one particular area during the month of Jan­ uary while receiving college credit on a pass-fail basis. The students in the new pro­ gram were able to see Gov. David Hall's inauguration, and the opening days of his admin­ istration. One of their duties while working at the state Cap­ itol was to observe the sessions of the House and Senate, where they saw the legislative process at work.
