Society Work
is Laudable ~
September marks the 23rd annual Sight-Saving
Month campaign of the National Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness. ,. ",
Theorganizatioh has a single goal: to prevent that
half of all blindness which is, in fact, needless and pre-
ventable.
Although activities continue year- ’round, during
Sight-Saving Month the Society and its state affiliates
mount an especially intensive drive to promote vision
* conservation among the nation's citizens. 4
Of the thousands of men, women and children who it
is estimated will become blind in the next, twelve
months, half will lose their vision needlessly. Accidents
will be responsible for loss of sight for man, accidents
which though often unavoidable themselves need not
result in serious injury or blindness if the proper safety
measures are taken. For others, blindness will be
caused by diseases which can frequently be controlled
. if only detected and treated early enough. And ig-
norance and neglect will be a directly contributing
factor in thousands of cases.- . . .
The Sun endorses the work of the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness in its continuing efforts to ,
fight needless vision loss ‘and encourage good eye
health for all Americans.
The Society, founded in 1908,is the oldest voluntary
health agency nationally engaged.in the prevention of
■ blindness through a comprehensive program of com-
munity services, public and professional'education,
and support of research into the causes of blindness
and expanded tndthods bf prevention. '
Better Watch
It’s OK to use all kinds of four-letter words in print
these days, but you’d better watch those cliches.
They're bound to offend someone. .
An example is an article which appeared recently in
Health Services World, the employe magazine of the
Health Services and Mental Health Administration, an-
agency of the Department of Health, Education and __
Welfare.
The article dealt with the subject bf hyperactive'chil-
dren and used the phrase, "yells, like an attacking In-
dian.” to describe the behavior of one such child.
This drew an outraged- response from a number of
readers, who yelled like — well, like Indians being at-
tacked.
“We American Indians are proud people,” wrote
one. "We don’t care to be insulted in print with words
like ‘yells like an attacking Indian.’ Yelling is not the
way of the Indian.’1»
The phrase, complained another wounded Indian,
"waS'in poor taste and a very good example of stereo-
typed thinking on your part!” ,
They have a point. It has been a long time since In-
dians have either yelled or attacked anybody. It can
also be argued that the white man did his own share of
yelling and attacking.
Far better had the writer chosen some other phrase
— "screams like a wailing banshee,” perhaps.
But then the women's liberation movement, Irish
division, would have been up in arms.

Surprise1 Surprise!
Cracking Up On Stand?' - -
McGovern's Coherence Is
Challenged In Remarks
By ERNEST Cl’NEO
WASHINGTON - A presid-
ential candidate is, in effect, a
witness in behalf of his cause,
before the national court of
public opinion with the entire
civilized world crowding the
Spectators' benches.
Quite aside from the issues,
the personality of a president
. is of crucial importance. It is
alarming, there-fore, for his
own sake and for the country’s
that, if coherence is a test, Sen.
McGovern shows disturbing
signs of cracking up on the
stand.
For example, questioned
about the statements of Ram-
sey Clark bitterly assailing U.
S. military tactics, over Hanoi
radio, Sen. McGovern hedged;
he declared he would neither
defend nor denounce what
Clark had said.
Thereupon, in a wild tan-
trum quite comparable to that
of the paronoic outbreak of
Captain Queeg of "The Caine
Mutiny," Sen. McGovern not
only excused the Clark broad-
casts from Hanoi, but proceed-
ed to accuse President Nixon
in far worse terms. Senator
McGovern is quoted as saying,
"What Clark said, if there was
anything wrong with it, pales
into insignificance compared

Pacemaker Keeps
People Alive
I
Dear Dr. I.umb- W hat are
the dangers of living without
a pacemaker when you have
a heart block ’ My lather lias
had a pacemaker for two
years amt is wonderiTlg what
would happen if he had it
i diluted when Hie batteries
weal out la the past month
it has changed position and
is punching through the
skin causing a large proti w-
neyei syen that ’happen be-,,
lore Imt it is not dangerous
Also, could he tune Ins
heart condition treated with
vitamin K' My lather takes
an anticoagulant to keep Ills
blood thin Do you think \ da-
mn) K would help this!1
Dear Reader—The kind of
heart block you're talking
about *is associated with a
very slow heart rate unless
a heart pacemaker is used.
The lower chambers normal-
ly ire at very slowly unless
they are stimulated by the
upper chambers Since the
lower chambers are respon-
sible for pumping the blood
out Wrnwgh the body, when
this* happens the pulse is
very slow- If it’s too slow,
.there wen’rbe enough blood
- to the brain, and this can
cause fainting, * convulsions
or the heart can even go into
a form of standstill or ab-
normal rhythm. This can be
dangerous and can even
cause death.
The purpose of the pace-
maker is Jo vrovi.de a con-
stant stimulus to the lower
chambers of the heart sq
that the heart rate will Ire
fast enough to pump enough
blood for the whole body. ,
Pul simply, if the heart pace-
maker stops working the
heart will -become very slow .
again, which can cause any
ul the things I mentioned
above, including convulsions
and death
Literally, that heart pace-
maker is saving your fath-
er's hie Iteinuv mg it would
be the same thing as pulling
the plug on life itself There
is no way that vitamin K
will replace the lunction of
Ins electrical pacemaker.
' “TTTTTi e~siftTfe ThTtf^ ’3S ’ ;T51G~
mg ll vitamin E could re-
place a burnt-out fuse in an
electric circuit: .
• Interestingly enough,
years ago some enthusiasts
thought vitamin E would be
useful in preventing clotting
of the blood but, after exten-
sive clinical trials, must rep-
utable scientists came to tire'
conclusion that it was of no
particular value for this pur-
pose. -
Your father will probably
do very well as long as his
pacemaker functions. There
are hundreds of people who
use these and they have lit-
erally saved these Individ-
uals’dives. It is no secret, so
I don’t mind mentioning that
Justice William 0. Douglas
of the United States Supreme
.Court has worn a pacemaker
for a number of years. This
has been mentioned re-
peatedly in the, news and it
serves to point but (hat in-
dividuals with the pace-
maker can fill an important
{unction and live a full life...
with the aid of such a device’.
Let me caution you’again* -
though, under no circum-
stances encourage your fath-
er to think that he can get
along without his pacemak-
er. This could be a life-and-
death decision.
"Derek Sanderson will be the highest paid athlete in all
the world, eh? Never bear'd ol him! What's his battin'
average?" * ■■
to the fact- that President
Nixon is ordering American
bombers out to slaughter, kill
and destroy all across the face
of Indochina."
CLEARLY, Sen. McGovern
has called President Nixon and
the American forces obeying
his orders war criminals. This
is not the first time he has done
so. He castigated the Cambod-
ian action by the American
forces as "Hitlerian.”
Sen. McGovern also de-
clared that "we” were bomb-
ing a “poor little agricultural
country,” repeating the phrase
so often used by Sen. Ful-
bright, but offering no explan-
ation of how a poor little agri-
cultural country can operate
sophisticated missile weapons
which have cost so many
American lives.
Sen. McGovern's ravings are
aU-tbeirwreinteresting-sinee,
on the front page of the New
York Times last week, another
slaughter of innocents was
duly recorded at the hands of
the Hanoi invaders. This com-
plete ability of Sen. McGoverrt
to discard evidence which con-
tradicts, an announced belief
approaches an indication of ir-
rational hysteria and perhaps
worse.

feeling,” he has told friends,
“that- I Have something to tell
the President. Then I suddenly
shake myself awake and rea-
lize I am the President.’
JFew can blame Nixon if he
sometimes must pinch himself
to make sure his conquest of
the White House hasn’t been all
a dream. Only a decade ago,
after all* he lost the governor-
ship of California and an-
nounced bitterly that he was
through with politics. He even
signed a pledge to his wife that
he would never run for office
again.
But it was a promise he
couldn’t keep. Now, after his
first term in the White House,
. Nixon dpp€3r§to b6 hcscted for
the most smashing Republican
victory of the century.
GOP strategists confide, in-
deed, that only one major ob-
stacle lies in the way of a Nixon
landslide in November. Not the
economy. Not the war. It’s
Nixon’s robot-like personality.
• The President, with his slop-
ing nose, jowl^that he seems to
rearrange like putty to project
a mood, his tendehey to sweat
under the hot TV lights and his
marionette hand gestures, is
not particularly appealing to
the voters.
His Campaign managers,
therefore, have hired Wolper
Productions, one of the best
documentary film flrmsin the
business, to humanize Richard
Nixon on film at the Republi-
can convention.
BUT WHAT IS the real Nixon
like? He is a very private per-
son who once said: "You can’t
confide in anyone about your
personal plans, your personal
feelings.”
The private Nixon, we have
learned from intimates, is a
warm, shy, sensitive man who
could easily wake up wonder-
ing whether he was President.
He is a devoted family man,
who permits his daughters to
intrude freely upon the presi-
dency. Not long ago, Nixon was
deep in a foreign policy discus-
sion with his top advisers when
the phone rang. He spent sev-
eral minutes on the phone
carefully explaining a Vietnam
problem. t
“That was Julie," said the
President after he hung up.
He is considerate, indeed, to
all the people who are close to
him, even his valet, Manolo
Sanchez. During a worrisome
night after the Kent Stating a

Building where Nixon ordered
,-a cleaning woman to let them
into the House of Representa-
tives. From the back of the
chamber, Nixon appluaded as
Sanchez slipped into the
Speaker’s chair.
The President dislikes per-
sonal confrontation, hates to
ask favors of people and al-
most never applies politic^;
pressure. He leaves this to
others less soft-hearted.

Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Sun
Dear Sir:
You have done service to
Baytown taxpayers by printing
Dr. Donald L. Brunson's rea-
sons for opposing busing of out-
of-district students tp OUR Lee
College.
Commendation is due Re-
gent Brunson. He has exempli-
fied the character and courage
it takes for a public official to
express convictions when they -
differ from the administra-
tion’s plans. Some might fefel to
oppose views of the adminis1
tration would indicate dis-
loyalty to the cause they repre-
sent (OUR Lee College in this
instance], ~
This was certainly not true in
this case as will be pointed out.
Having a person like Donald
Brunson on our board gives us
taxpayers a spark of hope that
something might be done about
halting tax increases furthered
by administrators who would
plan and build things as they
want at our expense. What he
did may give courage and pur-
pose to other regents to seek
out the taxpayers’ views be-
fore rubber stamping adminis-
trative plans. •
From the reports I have
heard and read it would appear
plans were already formulated
with buses having been or-
dered to have students bused
into our district when'school
starts within the week, and the
regents were merely passing
been decided by the adminis-.
tration.
I have always been a strong
supporter of OUR local Lee
College. We have a son who at-
tended the last two sessions.
We realize the tuition we paid
for his participation was only a
small portion of the cost for
educating him. To further
illustrate, I have knowledge
that to send a boy to a non-state
medical school the tuition is
$3,000 per year while it costs
that school $18,000 per year to
educate him. Therefore, that
other money must come from
state tax’ monies or endow-
ments.
When we bus students here
from out of district, the small-
est part of the cost will be from
their tuition. The regents who
stated the cost of the buses
would be paid in a short time
by their additional tuition need
be informed as to the per stu-
dent cost and what a small
fraction of that eost would be
. from their tuition. You can be
sure they will be the same re-
gents who will be required to
. vote an increase in our taxes
next year to pay the additional
overhead to subsidize the out-
of-district students being
bused into OUR Lee College.
It is improper for thg regents
of OUR Lee College to vote to
bus out-of-district students to
OUR school unless they know
we are willing to increase OUR
tax monies for this service. It
would also be improper for the
administration of OUR Lee
College to make such plans and
have a majority of our regents
rubber stamp their plans be-
fore it is presented at a regular
meeting.
These matters can be cor-
rected if we express ourselves
and seek out regents who sup-
port our views as Donald Brun-
son has so capably and con-
scientiously done.
'Rwnkm Regent Brunson, for
having taken of your busy time
and your efforts to seek out the
opinions of those scores of peo-
ple before voting your deci-
sion. We know you have not
shown disloyalty to I^e Col-
lege, but rather, have demon-
strated your loyalty to the tax-
payers of Baytown whom you *,
are serving on our board of re-
gents at lee College.
Sincerely yours,
lee leggett M.D.
