By Heart Association Volunteer Fire Units Presented With New Life- Equipment The eleven county ed fire departments were life-saving equipment last night by the vanis. Heart Association.

James H. Law, of Chatham, county chairman of the 1966 Heart Fund campaign presented resuscitators to the volunteer Fire Departments of Bachelors Hall, Climax, Hurt, Mount Cross, Mount Hermon, Renan, Riceville and Tunstall. A resuscitator was also presented to the Fire Marshall for his car. Air packs were given to Gretna and Chatham while Ringgold received an inhalator. The resuscitator is used to provide oxygen to persons overcome by smoke or gas.

It is effective in treatment of victims of drownings, electrical shock or heat attack. Even if WORMS A FAMILY AFFAIR Fidgeting, nose-picking, tormenting rectal itch are often telltale signs of Pin-Worms or Round Worms ugly parasites that medical experts say infest 1 out of every 3 persons examined. Entire families may be victims and not know it. To get rid of Worms, they must be killed in the large intestine where they live and multiply. That's exactly what Jayne's tablets and here's how they do it: the First--a tablets into scientific the coating bowels carries they dissolve.

It can be used on long trips, in the home or in the hospital wherever a supply of oxygen is needed. In addition, it can supply oxygen to firemen while they are fighting fires.

The air pack is strapped to the back and shoulders to provide the rescuer with oxygen when he enters a smoke- or gas-filled building. Both firemen and life saving crews use this effectively. In accepting the resuscitator for the Fire Marshall's car, W. H. Wilson, III, said, "When I was chief at Ringgold and chairman of the Safety Council, I carried a resuscitator in my car at all times.

On four occasions, it was used with persous in auto accidents, and on six occasions it was used with victims of heart attacks. At one time, it helped keep a heart attack victim alive from Martinsville to Danville." After the presentation of the equipment, the Danville Life Saving Crew gave a demonstra. tion on its use. Capt. Tommy Gatewood showed the use of the resuscitator; John Jefferies.

the inhalator; and James Gardner and Clayton Lester, the air pack. Fire Marshall Wilson thanked the Heart Association on of the volunteer fire departments.

Duke Power announced Tuesday plans for a $207 million atomic steam-electric station in Oconee County, upon the public scene in the form of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "But experience and modern engineering technology assures safe operation of civilian clear reactors," Lee said. The Atomic Energy Commission AEC gives this tion about the difference between a nuclear bomb and a civilian nuclear reactor: If gunpowder from a shell is sprinkled loosely over the ground, the powder will simply burn when ignited. But when tightly compressed in the shell and gun barrel, as nuclear material is in a bomb, the concentrated powder develops a highly explosive force when ignited. A nuclear reactor just cannot explode like a bomb, the AEC The power of a nuclear reactor, Lee said, is illustrated by the fact that three cylinders, 11 feet tall and 11 feet in eter can produce the same amount.
