I know. I darned it." It was- at 6 p.m. that the. search began in earnest. While a Coast Guard helicopter beamed a searchlight over nearby Great South Bay, more than 1,000 searchers, including police and firemen with walkie-talkies and bloodhounds, tramped through the oak and swamp maple, the bayberry and marsh fern. The Papols, joining the search themselves, explained over and over again how little Stevie had wandered away. IIis father, 32 - year -old credit manager for an automotive -parts firm in Rock- ville Centre, N.Y., was umpiring a Cub Scout baseball game, while his wife, Jeanette, 29, presided over seven of their nine towheads at a picnic table, and little Vic- toria, 7, kept an eye on Stevie, When Victoria ran to get a sand- wich from her mother, Stevie vanished. A violent storm of rain and lightning broke about midnight. halting the search until the fol- lowing morning. This time, near- ly 2,000 persons took the field, and again at nightfall a rain and electrical storm halted their ef- forts. "I am beginning to fear that some love -starved woman took him," Mrs. Papol said, and the police were inclined to agree with her. Many others did not believe that a frail 3 - year - old eould survive exposure to two such storms without food or 1SS7(JE 37 -- 1962 w'atl:r. 41r Rocco ltle l fir tial', a ereeegleteer and wiie of 'l teem- ty auxiltar;.r police sergeant, res fll:,'(1 to believe it.

Troubles Of A Poor Millionaire In Abilene, Texas, 240 miles from his Pecos home, indicated financier Billie Sol Estes headed his white Cadillac up a one-way street—the wrong way, Police officer Don Slatton, parked in a patrol car, honked a warning. Billie Sol stopped, smiled, waved at the officer, backed up, and took another route. To Slatton, the driver's face wasn't familiar but his actions were. As the law- man put it: "Sometimes when a man is that friendly to a police- man, it means the man has no driver's license," Slatton casual- ly followed the Cadillac and saw it go through a stop sign. The patrol car's red lights flashed, the Cadillac stopped, and Estes sheepishly identified h i m s e 1 f, Sure enough, he had no driver's license. What was more, the bankrupt ex -millionaire said he ' lacked the cash to pay $55 in fines ($50 of it for driving with- out a license). Billie Sol tele- phoned his brother, Abilene den- tist Dr, John Estes, who sent an attorney with $200 for a bond. The money can be reclaimed if Estes returns to pay or contest the fines, but Slatton said; "Somehow I don't expect him to come back."

Craving For Solt Gan Be Dangerous Would you use sodium, a thus - tie alknii, to seaswt your food? Or chlorine, a poisonous gas? "Ridiculous questions." you say, "Nobody would be fool- hardy enough to do that!". Of coarse not, But the shock- ing truth is that most people do — because.they don't know that these powerful chemicals consti- tute the inorganic crystalline compound known as salt, For centuries, the expression "salt of the earth" has been used as a catchphrase to designate something good and essential. Nothing could be more erron- eous. For that apparently harm- less product that you shake into your food' every day can actually bury you. Consider these startling facts: (1) Salt is not a food. There is no more justification for its cul- inary use than there is for potas- sium chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride or any other chemical on the chemist's shelf, (2) Salt cannot be digested, as- similated or utilized by the body. It has no nutritional value. In- stead, it is postively harmful and disease -producing, especially in the case of kidney ailments. (3) Salt may act as a heart poi- son. It also increases the irrita- bility of the nervous system, tends 1.o aggravate epileptic con- ditions and lowers the bars against apoplexy. (4) Salt acts to rob calcium from the body and attacks the mucous lining throughout the entire gastro-intertinal tract. If salt is so dangerous to the health, why is it used so widely? Mainly because it is a habit that has become ingrained over thous- ands of years, But it is a habit based on a serious misconcep- tion. The misconception is that the body needs it. But many people— and, in fact, entire races of people, as the Eskimos — never eat salt and never miss it. Once a person is free of the habit, salt is as objectionable and repulsive to the taste as tobacco Le to a non-smoker. Among certain animal species, salt acts as a positive poison, particularly in the case of fowl. And swine have been known to die after large doses of it. How did the habit originate? The biochemist Bunge explains that in prehistoric times there was a proper balance of sodiurn and potassium salts in the earth. But continued rainfall over the centuries washed away the more soluble sodium salts. In time, all soils and land -grown foods be- came deficient in sodium but high in potassium, The result was that animals and human beings developed a craving for something to replace this deficiency. They found a poor, ineffective and highly dan- gerous substitute in inorganic sodium chloride, or common salt. Swallowing salt to obtain na- tural sodium is like taking cal- cium chloride to get calcium. Bath are chemicals, and neither can be assimilated by the body cells. Since all chemicals are harm- ful to the digestive organs, we can understand why the stomach develops a sudden and abnormal thirst after salt is consumed. The stomach is simply reacting to a foreign substance and is tak- ing quick action to wash it out of the body through the kidneys. You can imagine what effect this has on the delicate kidney tubules, Of all the body organs, the kidneys are most subject to injury from salt. This is why persons suffering from nephritis are generally for - hidden to use any salt in their diet. Salt -eating, in fact, is thrown to pave the way en' kidney cti- c0se, writes Dr. Raymond Bern- ard in "Cit -Bits." What huppens when more snit is eaten than the kidneys can eliminate? The excess is deposit- ed in various parts of the body, especially in the lower part of the legs, To proteet its tissues against this poison the body automati-, eally seeps to dilute it kg accum- ulating water in these areas. As the tissues become water - togged the body tends to swell up. Peet and ankles bloat pain- fully. Just as salt is harmful to the kidneys, so it is injurious to the heart: Even the small amount in bread is considered, In some heart conditions, to be danger - 008, t The action of the heart muscle is governed by therelative con- centration and balance of sodium and calcium salts in the blood. An excess of sodium will there- fore tend to disturb this action, increasing the heart beat and the blood pressure. In the sante way, salt upsets the nervous system, The decalcifying effect of salt tends to rob the body of calcium by drowning calcium salts in thirst -quenching liquids a n d creating a predisposition to acid- osis. Salt starts its attack by biting into the mucous membranes of the mouth and then spreading its irritation all along the gastro- intestinal tract. This is why salt of various kinds, such as Epson salts, act as strong purgatives. The body ac- cumulates water in the intestines in an effort to expel these harm- ful substances, The most dramatic case of salt injury occured recently in a New York hospital where a number of babies died when the chemical was inadvertently used in their food. Adults are not as vulnerable, But they cannot keep taking this chemical with impunity. It is dif- ficult to avoid consuming it be- cause it • has been sprinkled into virtually every processed and canned food. But they must if they value their health. The body needs solium chlor- ide. But only when it is provid- ed in organic form, such as in celery, sea vegetation, and so on, can this substance be utilized by living cells. Q.
