Your Child’s Health All parents are very understandably interested in, and concerned about, their children’s health. When they are infants, the family doctor gives them all their shots, and the parents keep track of the shots religiously. As they advance in years, the parents spend a lot of money to keep the children warmly-clad through the cold months of winter. And as long as they live with the parents, the children are constantly urged to practice good hygiene habits, for the sake of their health, happiness and appearance. But how many parents show a like concern over the mental hygiene of their children? How many parents are concerned over the diseased, filth-bear-ing and principle-breaking concepts that are searching to infect the minds of their children? How many bad examples do they set for their own children, rationalizing with the thought that it is something that society deems necessary? The most obvious trap for the mind and pocketbook of a child is the obscene literature field. Since it is the most obvious though, it is also the easiest to combat. If the parent has enough concern to find out about it, it can be stifled, and even legal action may be taken. But there are many factions that are much more subtle. Communism is by no means extinct in the United States. The searching, untrained mind of a child is a fertile field for the Communistic hogwash. It can be initially disguised as a great idealistic social movement, and only after a young mind has been trained to accept that, and nothing else, does the dirty work begin. Another ugly poison for the minds of children m prejudice, and sometimes this, or a part of it, originates in the home. Make no mistake that prejudice against another race, or religion, is the only type to worry about. There are countless factions at work to attract to or repel from the thoughts of the public. Many of these are groups that are basically good, but they forget that in all good there is some bad, and try to paint the picture of perfection for the public to swallow. Finally, the most unjust prejudices of all in a country that exists on the basis of freedom for all, are the social biases. Some children, who don’t have the opportunities of a lot of money, are taught that those who have it are evil because they do. And those who have the privilege of wealth sometimes feel that those who don’t are to be looked down on. Science has made great strides in the past decades to help keep our children healthy and strong. Society has an obligation to do the same for their minds. It is about time the moral fibre caught up with the synthetic fibre in strength and flexibility.

Former Decatur Minister Describes Donna

(Editor’s note: The accompanying letter, written while he and his family were sitting out hurricane Donna, was sent to the Daily Democrat by the Rev. Edward Pacha, former pastor of the First Christian church in this city. Rev. Pacha resigned the local pastorate several weeks ago to enter the home mission field in Florida. The photos depict some of the storm damage as described by the minister). Saturday Morning P. O. Box 622 La Belle, Florida Dear Friends: We are now sitting and waiting it out. “Donna” has crossed the Keys and crossed the mainland of Florida and is some 125 miles away from us at Everglades City. All preparations have been made. Candles, matches, sterno burner and the like are ready. The bath tub and all available containers are filled with water, the transister radio and flashlights are handy, and now we wait. Winds here have picked up to some extent. A steady wind of about 30 miles per hour has been blowing with gusts of 52. Barometer reading is 29.5 inches and unsteady. I guess the hardest thing of all is the waiting. “Donna is moving at 9 miles per hour and it takes a while to get around. We have been listening since last night as things got “hot” around Miami. The shelter area is across the street and I can see several cars parked there, and more are coming in. The Indians have been evacuated to the courthouse. Rain is being blown at a 60 degree angle with some gusts of wind taking it at 90 degrees. Small branches and palm leaves are scattered all over. Humidity is 92 per cent. From here I can see parents carrying their children into the shelter area. Although everyone seems calm, there is an air of tension with an underlying twitch of fear as men get set to face the fury of nature on the rampage. The 9 o’clock bulletin has just come in and it reports that the storm is some 88 miles from us as of 9 a.m. Guests of wind have been picking up considerably since I started this letter. Miami reports 97 miles per hour. The Keys reported one gust of wind of 166 miles per hour. Water has been cut off from the Keys, and of course, lights. Power is off in a town 30 miles from us so I expect ours to go at any time. I see a man walking slowly from his car to the school evacuation area. He has no rain coat and it is raining quite hard but with the wind whipping as it is there would be little or no point in wearing one. You get wet in one of these blows no matter what you try to do to prevent it. Now she looks bad. Fort Myers reports that the storm will pass east of Fort Myers and west of Clewiston. Our location in La Belle is 29 miles east of Fort Myers and 31 miles west of Clewiston. So there. The rain has Mopped, there is just the lightest drizzle, driven by heavy gusts of wind. What will happen? Again we wait ... wait ... wait. It is twenty minutes until 10 a.m. and the rain has almost

HjfflLTH ns wnx to uro ( 'I’HB wilt to live is often a very * real factor in recovery from serious illness. Tenuous and ill-defined as it may appear, this will to live is recog* nized by physicians as a potent force, AH physicians grant that emotional factors are capable of altering body function resulting in changes of body tons, secretion, and blood vessels. These changes, If they persist, are bound to bring on structural changes in the organs. It is reasonable to assume that an emotion can alter structure to the point where the organ ceases to function and death results. There are many phenomena to substantiate this belief. A man picks up a perfect hand of bridge or a royal flush in poker and falls dead. The physician correctly calls it cerebral hemorrhage, or he may give it the explicit and scientific name of hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Explanatory medical terms do not deny the man died of excitement of such intensity that his arteries, hardened and brittle with high blood pressure, burst and caused his death . There are many tales having to do with the death of one member of an old and loving couple followed soon after by the death of the other. The popular conception is that the survivor died of a broken heart This surmise is logical if not literal. It may be true that the surviving partner’s will to live bad ceased. Probably also, both individuals were reaching the end of their allotted span of life. Rage, fear, fright frustration, and the toss of the wffl to live are threats to peace of mind and MtMtiaUy to Mfo HmML

Humidity is now 97 per cent and the baro-' meter is steady at 29.5. The school yard across the street is almost completely covered with debris and a very large branch just broke off and fell into the front yard.

the kids are cracking nuts in the dining room—to keep busy. Fort Myers weather says the storm eye is due some time in the late afternoon today. The 11 o’clock advisory has just come in. The barometer has dropped to 29.27 at Clewiston. Heavy static is coming in on the radio and extreme gusts of wind are now blowing. Rain is being swept straight across our front porch (some 30 feet long) without even falling on the floor. It comes

in through the right screen and blows out in the left. That last guest of wind must have been around 80 to 85 miles per hour. Lights are stiß on and Georgia has prepared a hot lunch (we have an electric stove). This may be the last hot meal she can prepare on the stove. We still have the sterno burner. More and more people are coming into the storm shelter. The radio stations are all on auxiliary power and the one that I was listening too went off the air for 5 minutes. A large tree across the street blew down some 10 minutes ago. We have finished dinner and the last of the frozen foods have been cooked and a good thing too, the power has just gone out at 20 minutes until 12 o’clock. Winds have picked up considerably now and are blowing between 50 and 60 steady, with much higher gusts. More large branches have fallen and the wind is shipping the water into the rooms through the small spaces between the window and window frames. The transistor radio is now the only form of communication that we have, and the last announcement (11:48) said that persons should not leave their J place of shelter except in extreme emergencies until the all clear is sounded. I just checked the phone — the lines are still open, but should not be used unless necessary because it might hamper operations. Now she is reaßy getting close. Winds have been steadily high, and debris is everywhere. There is a stack of branches against our front screen door. More trees are broken and yet the worst is yet to come. There is a good possibil-

The weather bureau reports 8 inches of rain following the eye. You know that the heaviest rains are in the back end of the srorm, or after the eye is past. Tides are expected to be as high as 11 feet above normal, and the lake (Okeechobee) locks have been closed to prevent flooding of the

Highway 78 is expected to be completely under water in a matter of hours and highways 27 and 720 are completely covered with broken trees. As an idea of how rough the seas can get in this weather, it has been reported that highway AIA around Fort Lauderdale is littered with fish that have been washed up by (Continued on page 3-A)
