in February 27, 1975 Section Two, Page Fourteen THE NORTHSIDE SUN, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI Thursday, High blood pressure It's nothing to fear There is much about high blood pressure to fear. This disease, which doctors usually call hypertension, has no unusual symptoms and in 90 per cent of the cases. doctors can't determine the cause. It is a major contributor in the development of heart attack and stroke, heart and kidney failure diseases which together kill more than 900.000 Americans each year. This silent killer which can strike without warning this mysterious killer for which science still seeks a cause is easily detected and can usually be controlled.

If you are a black American, there is additional reason to be concerned. You are twice as likely to have high blood pressure as a white American. It will strike at an earlier age and will probably be more severe. Science doesn't yet know why black Americans or anybody else has high blood pressure and they don't know why it is more prevalent among blacks. Research is seeking causes and, hopefully, cures.

Meanwhile, take hope. High blood pressure can easily be detected by a painless, inexpensive medical examination and it can be controlled. The frightening thing about high blood pressure is the apathy of people who can't take seriously a disease which does not Nuclear power plant supervisors named The three men who will have major responsibilities in direct ing operations of the state's first nuclear-fueled electric generating plant, the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station near Port Gibson, have been named by President Donald C.

"But I am hopeful that they will act favorably this "I feel the hardships caused by deafness have been sadly underestimated by most observers in the past," Cochran said. "For this reason, I am urging the Ways and Means Committee of Congress to consider this legislation, and to avoid any delays in its passage." Bell's Pittman denounces artificial competition make them feel bad.

There are those who foolishly assume that because an examination five or more years ago found their pressure normal, there's no need to have it checked again. These people are asking for trouble. heart trouble. There is another kind of dangerous apathy the "let George do it" attitude. Someday they'll worry about heart disease when they're older, for after all, isn't it one of the diseases of aging? Of course, this is not true.

Heart disease strikes people of any age, any race, any sex. This is why all Americans should be interested in learning how to reduce their risk of these two killers heart attack and stroke.

Sorry, no stores or agents, please Nationwide Scientific National Home Offices: Merrillville, In. 46410 Artificial competition in the telephone business will hurt the average telephone user by causing him to pay higher prices for service that is not as good, R. W. Pittman, South Central Bell's District Public Relations Manager, said Feb.

17. Pittman, speaking to Mad ison Ridgeland Optimist Club, was introduced by Jack McCormack. Pittman explained that some recent regulatory decisions seek to encourage competition in the telecommunications industry. But the result of these decisions is not real competition at all, Pittman pointed out. "It's artificial, pseudo-competition, where only a few equipment suppliers and specialized carriers and some large business customers will profit at the expense of the public at large," he said.

"The called competitors are interested only in taking over the more profitable parts of the telephone business such as business phone systems, fancy phones, and special long distance circuits provided to businesses for their exclusive use. Such competitors aren't interested in competing for the basic service that regulated telephone companies provide at or below cost." Pittman said. For years, telephone companies like South Central Bell have used some of the revenue from the more profitable parts of the business to help cover the costs of basic residence telephone service and thereby keep its price as low as possible, he continued. Currently, such revenue support of residence service is nearly equal to the average monthly basic residence rate. "If home telephone rates now about $7.00 a month on the average in Mississippi have to be raised to cover overall costs without help from other services, they would about double." Pittman said.

"The public is the ultimate boss of business and govern ment. To think or act otherwise is a mistake. If, after hearing all the facts, the public wants some form of competition in the telephone industry, we only ask that it not be competition with arbitrary market splitting, but free and open competiton," Pittman stated.

"The Easter Seal Speech and Language Clinic, which began operation in August, 1973, reached its maximum case load capacity within the first six months of its operation. The clinic, which has since doubled in size and staff, has now once again reached its case load capacity and needs to be expanded." said Weir.

Congressional approval asked on postal rates Concerned over rising postal prices, Congressman Thad Cochran has reintroduced legislation that would require prior Congressional approval before the Postal Service can increase its rates. "Unfortunately, Congress was occupied by a crush of legislation during the last two sessions and was unable to consider this piece of legislation," Cochran said.
