All The News That's Useful To Print

Whatever the story of de-segregation in southern schools is
to be, it is going to be told in great detail and probably with unexcelled 
accuracy. This is to say that Virginius Dabney, editor of
The Richmond Times-Dispatch, and other editorial luminaries have
agreed to run a Southern Education Reporting Service to provide
non-partisan accounts on the unfolding drama of a sociological
experiment with 11,000,000 children.
Dabney will be chairman of a 11-member governing board,
composed of whites and Negroes, to act as an editorial board for
assembling and broadcasting news bulletins on the progress and
stalling of the adjustment to the Supreme Court's decree.
The stated purpose of the Southern Education Reporting Service 
is not to hasten or slow the coming evolution, but to give all
the benefit of the experience of each.
"The South," said Editor Dabney, "is entering a very difficult
period. School administrators... in each of the 17 states affected 
will stand to benefit by the experience of school administrators 
in the other 16 states. It will be the aim of the... Service to
assist infilling the need for such information and providing it on
a strictly factual, non-partisan basis."
The nature of this novel apparatus leads to curiosity concerning 
the newspaper people who will run it and who is supplying
the big grants of dough required.
The money is from the Ford Foundation. It has proceeded
iii harmony with the discreet tradition that calls for an out-of-town
lawyer retaining as associate counsel some local lawyer.
Dabney is, in our judgment, the most distinguished of the
South's editors. Certainly he has more formal recognitions of
editorial prowess plastered on his office walls than any other.
Dabney believes in segregation and condemned the decision
of the court. Although the liberal can-can girls of the Fourth Estate 
like to claim Dabney as a "liberal," the fact is that he is conservative 
but movable independent who agrees that the Byrd machine 
has given Virginia very good government and who supported 
Ike in 1952. He is flexible, moderate and quite independent
of labels and cults.
Under Dabney's board will be a working newspaperman, C.
A. (Pete) McKnight, editor of The Charlotte (N. C.) News. The
youthful McKnight is a sound and keen newspaper executive who
has won recognition in a short time. He has taken a year's leave
of absence from his paper. Presumably the men-covering the
segregation beat will be first-rate reporters.
All of which is to say that the leadership of Dabney and Mcknight 
is disarming. The Advertiser's confidence in them is unqualified. 

Certainly no one can sensibly frown on the gathering and
broadcasting of news about the working of the new Constitution
handed down by the nine justices of the Supreme Court.

Slums
In every town and city there are those outskirts in the mud,
with their menace of mosquitoes, malaria and gullied roadways
spanning by half tumbling shacks, old wooden shed school houses 
and unpainted churches.
Along the gutters before the cabins may be seen young
American citizens, playfully enduring the sentence of social exclusion, 
educational and spiritual neglect and those other privations 
tangent to any environment where people are circumscribed
and thrust soul and body into the searing flames, meant for the
unwanted and forgotten. These, until a more descriptive name is
gotten from the catalogue of villainy, we call slums.
Many of those who inherit these quarters are those who
seek cheap or free rent, because of their inability to pay.
There are others, whose long indoctrination, enforced and
regimented, have made of them slum characters. Some, because
of disease, are thrown here to await the final taps, and lastly,
but not least, these quarters seem to be excellent hiding places
for those who commit crime or like to indulge in illicit practices.
Here is thrown together in this amalgamation, the potpourri
of young American citizens for the proving grounds of tomorrow.
The most important phase of governmental dealings in human 
relations is the housing movement.
From here on the housing enterprise will be a fixture in the
functions and regulations of government. It will assume the status,
commander by the indispensable factors, in its reach for the
security and health of the nation.
Despite the building spurt and the going up of new homes,
there is an alarming shortage of houses. Some landlords are
taking advantage of this shortage in exorbitant rents. The scarcity
of a commodity enhances its value and after all is a counterpart
of the law of supply and demand.
Let our motto be — more and better housing. Only through
this medium can the people enjoy cheaper renting facilities.
Let the slums make way for these much needed enterprises.

Arkansas Farmer Found
Burned, Chained To A Tree
The
charred body of Isadore Banks, well
known farmer of Crittenden County 
who had been missing from his
farm home since Saturday morning, 
was found by Carl Croom, white,
of Marion, about three miles west
of here Tuesday morning chained to
a tree.
Coroner T. H. McGough in ruling 
that Banks was murdered "by
person or persons unknown" added
"we believe that Banks was killed in
some manner before being tied to
the tree and burned." Sheriff Cecil 
Goodwin has assigned deputies
Richard Davey and Mack Rieves to
investigate.


Two men, identified by police as
Roosevelt Jordan, 28, of 543 N. Seventh, 
and Ernest Bush, 27, of 621
Exchange, pleaded not guilty to
three counts of burglary in city
court Monday and was bound over
to the state by Judge Boushe. The
two were arrested early Sunday
morning as suspects in a Big Value
Market, 954 N. Second, breaking
and allegedly confessed to that and
other breaking.
When police answered a call that
the plate glass window at Big Value
Market had been smashed they noticed 
the two men, wearing white
gloves, pushing a stalled Buick, Detective 
Chief M. A. Hinds said. Officers 
in the two squad cars, led by
Lt. R. F. Finch, became suspicious

and investigated. They found a
box with $2.50 in pennies, crowbars
and flashlights in the car.
When questioned, Capt. E. C.
Wilson, head of the burglary squad,
said the two men signed confessions
admitting the Big Value Market
creaking and a May 30 robbery of
the Rex Liquor Store, 1026 Jackson
and a June 4 break to which nettied 
them $45 from a cash register,
$75 worth of meat and a wrist
watch.

MEALTIME MELODIES!
BY GRACE WILLIAMS
It is most appropriate that the
month of June be labeled Dairy
month, because it is at this time of
year that our foster mother, the
cow, is out-doing herself in milk
production. Therefore, it is equally
as appropriate for us to discuss one
of our favorite dairy products, that
all-American dessert, ice cream.
Many people
mistakenly place
ice cream in the
class with candles
and other confectioneries 
that art
to be enjoyed periodically 
as a special 
treat. It is a
treat but more
important ice
food. For example
one serving of ice
cream or one third
pint supplies fifteen 
per cent of the day's need for
Calcium and riboflavin. It also provides 
large quantities of vitamin A,
the nutrient which is so vital for
clear skin, good eyesight and your
general well being. Despite the general 
belief that ice cream is a fattening 
food, one-third pint of ice
cream supplies only, six per cent of
the day's need of calories. In fact,
a half cup of ice cream which contains 
about one hundred and fifty
calories can add pleasure to a reducing 
diet which is moderately restricted. 

Larger servings, a la modes, milk
shakes, and many ice cream dishes
belong in meals of those who need
and want to build up their calories
and increase all food values in their

daily meals.
For good summer eating, for good
nutrition and economy in money
and time serve ice cream and ice
cream dishes often. To add to your
collection of dairy recipes we borrowed 
an unusual recipe from
France. We think of waffles as a
mere breakfast food. The French
who glorify foods use them as part
of the dessert and call them "gaufrettes," 
which is rather glorified
in sound, and glorious in taste.
1 cup sifted flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1-4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1-3 cup heavy cream
2-3 clip milk
1-4 teaspoon vanilla
Mix and sift together the flour,
sugar and salt. Beat eggs well. Combine 
the cream and milk. Stir liquids 
gradually, into dry ingredients
until mixture is well combined and
very smooth. Bake in waffle iron as
for waffles. Place on dessert plate
and cover with vanilla ice cream.
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1-8 teaspoon salt
2-3 cup strong coffee
1-4 cup whipping cream
Beat the egg yolks slightly and
add the coffee. Pour into the top of
a double boiler and cook over boiling 
water until the sauce thickens,
stirring constantly: Cool and fold
in whipped cream. Pour the cooled
sauce over the hot gaufrettes and
ice cream. Serves four.

Letter To
The Editor
It is bad to be illiterate, but it
is worse to be ignorant although
educated. A person who can't read
or write is illiterate. In most instances 
a person is illiterate because 
there were not adequate facilities 
for education in his original 
environment. In some instances 
a person is illiterate because
he did not have the mental capacity 
to be educated, this, of course
is in the great minority of cases.
Although illiterate, some people
have "mother wit" and are very
intelligent although, they can't
read or write.
Those who have been educated
are expected not only to be intelligent, 
but to use good sound reasonable 
judgment, but too often
we are disappointed here. In many
instances one has to have
strength, courage and confidence
to use good judgment and this too
often is lacking.
Yes, this article is about Negroes
right here in Memphis and the
greatest handicap here is ignorance 
possessed and manifested by
educated Negroes.
Ignorance arrogance and selfishness 
are closely related and intelligent 
people don't possess nor
cling to these non essentials When
one does not feel secure in his own
right he then resorts to penal attitude; 
executes them when ever
and where ever he can.
Here is where we remove all
doubts of our profound ignorance
here and there is a reason for it
which I will explain. We have a
great percentage of the population
and no drastic effort is made to
centralize the vote for the best interest 
of our population. We have
a NAACP which is very poorly
patronized and especially by the
teachers who have received more
benefits from it than any single
group in the south. Those of us
who have been educated or exposed 
to education are too far removed 
from the great masses of
Negroes. We must move forward
together or stand still together. It
would be much better for everything 
concerned if there was more
unity, cooperation and understanding 
among Negroes; when
this is accomplished he can properly 
sell the race as a whole without 
apology.
The Supreme Court has said integration 
is the law of the land.
We are ready since everyone and
anyone is ready for justice and
fair play from those who are in
authority. In some areas there is
a large number of illiterates, they
are and will be a great burden for
the nation to bear, but it will have
to suffer the consequences.
Whites and Negroes compose this
great reservoir of illiterates which
will have to be abolished in our
pattern of society. If we are more
tolerant and less selfish we could
regiment control and help this unfortunate 
group to wash out its
problems.
There must be a new order and a
new pattern formulated by the intelligent 
Negroes to help iron out
problems which confront him and
his race daily so that all that is
necessary to meet the new integration 
movement can be done.
Whatever the youngsters do now
is only a reflection of what they
have learned from home and at
the schools. It is saddening to note
what a poor job has been done yet
it is not too late to begin and promote 
ourselves to first class citizenship. 

It has been said time and again
in this colnmn that people are fundamentally 
the same and color ahs
nothing to do with it. Environment 
and training has everything
to do with people. If all red head
people were discriminated against
as Negroes have been the same
results would have developed.
If the training had been the
same Negroes and whites in the
South would yell the same way at
football game and would do most
things just the same since they
both have the same ethnic culture.
Our public conduct could be
greatly improved here through our
churches and other organizations.
We must reach that group which
does not belong to nor attend
church or any other organization,
he is the greatest offender. His offense 
reflects on us; let us defend
and protect as well as promote
these unfortunates.

The Doctor Disagrees
By Elizabeth Seifert

Distributed by King Features Syndicate.
Dr. Stephen Carr and his wi
Shelly, are on their way to a family
dinner party honoring his venerable
mothers birthday. Though polite to
her always. Shelly well knew that the
very social Carrs bad never ea accepted 
her. She was a stranger to
them and to the little mid-west city
of Norfolk, where the Carrs resided,
a night club singer of uncertain, background 
whom the whole Carr Family
believed. Stephen had married impulsively. 
Aware of their subtle snubs.
Shelly determines to prove her metal.
As she and Stephen drive to the
fashionable home of the senior Carrs.
Shelly pities the itinerant workers who
have come here on new projects, many
of them living in pathetically squalid
quarters. During the gay birthday
party Stephen astounds his folk by
announcing that he has mined with
the armed forces and will soon be off
to the Pacific for a year. Outraged
his doting father demands to know
"What will become of Shelly? What
of the medical practice which Stephen
had so arduously built?" Tactfully
Stephen assures them that all is under
control. Shelly will manage to p
occupied and a now doctor a skilled
physician and an old friend will come
to Norfolk to care for Stephens patients. 

ON THE next Friday evening.
Stephen brought Dr. Talboy to his
home for dinner. Not unexpectedly
of course. Shelly had been the one
to suggest the invitation.
"Shall I ask a girl for him? Or
is he married?" She laughed. "You
see. I don't Know a thing about
him, Stephen! Except his name
... and that is so—well it is unusual." 

Stephen nodded. "I've heard it
suggested that tie has Indian blood.
I am hoping that Mother and her
pals don't fasten on that, and—
well—you know!" He grinned at
his pretty wife.
"What tribe? she asked in delight. 

"I don't know. But he'd tell you,
if you'd ask. The point is, all those
narrow-minded women—"
"I Know the point! Now I am
anxious to see him. Is it much
blood?"
"He's dark, and there's that oddness 
to his name—beyond that,
 Really, darling. If I were
 I'd forget it."
"Maybe I'd better," she said reluctantly. 
"But you could tell
me—"
"He's a bachelor."
"Is he attractive? No, that isn't
important. I can see I'm to be
limited on questions. Shall I invite
—Oh!" She thrust her hands up
into net shining hair.
"Now what?" laughed her husband. 

"I've been struck by a wonderful 
idea. We can marry him to
Eleanor!"
Stephen laughed and groaned in
a single breath, then got up from
the table, looking at his watch.
"It would nicely care for that
problem in my life," said Shelly
pertly.
You'd better put that on the
shelf, too," Stephen advised, "till
you've seen Craig."
"He'll be no compon for you
huh?" She followed him to the side
door, tilled her face for his kiss
And suddenly clung to him fiercely.
"Oh, Stephenm," she cried. "I'm go
ing 
to miss your bacon and egg
kiss every morning!" The feel of
his arms about her— How would
she get through that year—that
long year!
That had been Wednesday, and
now on Friday evening, Craig Talboy 
came into the house with
Stephen. His strong hand enfolded
hers, his black eyes seemed to explore 
the inner channels of her
mind. He recognized her amazement, 
and asked her what caused
it.
"Well, she said, "you're older
than I expected... " Her color
deepened, "Now that's a terrible
thing to say, isn't it?"
"It is," agreed Dr. Talboy, readily, 
"because the minute a man becomes 
forty, he also becomes sensitive 
about his age."
"Only men?" laughed Stephen.
"My dear man, women never become 
forty. Even your lovely Shelly 
here will get only to her late
thirties and then exist in a slate of
suspended animation until proudly
she can confess to eighty!"
Shelly laughed merrily, and the
handsome tall man nodded. A
prickling of excitement tingled
along her spine.
Over their cocktails. Stephen explained 
about the house where he
and Shelly lived. "My grandfather
built it... Vandervoort's decorated 
it—but all the pretty parts
are Shelly's contribution. That," he
added, with a smile for his wife,
"takes the sting from the family's
relegating us to live in town rather
than out at Carr circle. You have
to have brick dust in your hair to
earn that honor: it's the family's
own special type pi silicosis."
Dr. Talboy cast his eye about
the handsome room, and repeated
the glance when they moved into
the dining room. "I can't find any
argument for silicosis, family type
or otherwise," he declared.
When they were seated about
the table Talboy said "I think we
should explain to Shelly why I'm
here. I mean, why a man of y
years and obvious experience
should be taking  job. That
is what you're anxious to know
isn't it. Shelby?"
"Of course," she laughed.
"I have various faults." Talboy
was saying. "I play hot Jazz on all
or any pianos. I do it well, but a
lot of people don't like jazz. I
grant then right to that taste."
"And keep right on playing their
pianos," chuckled Stephen.
"Until they stop exposing their
mahogany to me, yes. I also have
a dog Shelly. A Scottie named
Donald As independent as any
hog on ice. And my goes around
with me almost everywhere."
Stephen grinned. "That almost
means he does not go into the
operating room, or into the homes,
of—er—a certain sort of patient."
"Donald chooses pretty carefully. 
He knows whom he likes, and
what he likes. And does nothing to
conceal that opinion."
"Like his master," murmured
Stephen.
"Certainly!" agreed Dr. Talboy.
"I'm still waiting anxiously,"

chuckled Stephen, "for your explanation—the 
one he'll give you,
Shelly—of his accepting our offer
here."
"What reason did he give you?"
asked Shelly quickly.
Dr. Talboy snorted. "My only
one. I needed a job. But I might
go into the matter of  I needed
one."
"As old a man as you art,"
teased Stephen, "and admittedly as
good a doctor."
"Don't you have some buttons to
sew on before your trip, old boy?"
asked his friend. "I want to talk
to Shelly."
"Don't let me stop you. I can
sew and listen at the same time."
Craig turned his shoulder on
Stephen. "You see, Shelly," he said
in the manner in which a popular
uncle addresses a little girl, "I
needed this  job because I am
an iconoclast." He leaned toward
her. "Do you know what that word
means?"
"Yes," she said gently. "I do
know."
Dr. Talboy's white teeth flashed
in a rewarding smile. "As Stephen
has said," he continued slowly, with
the briefest inclination of his head
toward his host, "I am a wonderful 
doctor!"
"I went no further than good,"
murmured Stephen.
Craig ignored the sound he made.
"But I am also, Shelly, a great
inner!"
Her violet eyes widened.
"In a medical sense," Craig assured 
her.
Now it was Stephen who shortd, 
and the other man grinned.
"You see, Shelly—I'll call you
darling once we get this boy off
to his war! But for now we'll be
discreet."
"In this town," Stephen informed
him, "that's a good plan for the
future, too."
"You mean I'm not going to like
it here?"
Stephen laughed. "Go on and
confe medical ns to Shelly.
I'm running out of buttons." The
butler, who came just then, looked
at him in alarm. Dr. Talboy stifled
a laugh.
"I see what you mean about the
town." he murmured when the
white coat had gone through the
door to the pantry. "But to make
a long story short. Shelly, I—my
sin lies in the fact that I am a
rebel in the closed ranks of medicine. 
What is worse. I don't contine 
myself to feeling rebellious, or
even to snorting around among my
immediate colleagues. I have to go
and write my stuff down on paper,
and somebody nearly always prints
what I have to say. That way, it
gets on the record." He watched
her pretty, intent face. "In short,
my dear," he said gently, "I write
articles for newspapers and magazines—popular 
magazines, not
medical journals—and in those articles 
I attack the Ho Cow from
horn to tail!"
Shelly glanced at  husband.
"Is that what you mean about his
heed to learn discretion?"

Dr. Stephen Carr and his wi
Shelly, are on their way to a family
dinner party honoring his venerable
mothers birthday. Though polite to
her always. Shelly well knew that the
very social Carrs bad never ea accepted 
her. She was a stranger to
them and to the little mid-west city
of Norfolk, where the Carrs resided,
a night club singer of uncertain, background 
whom the whole Carr Family
believed. Stephen had married impulsively. 
Aware of their subtle snubs.
Shelly determines to prove her metal.
As she and Stephen drive to the
fashionable home of the senior Carrs.
Shelly pities the itinerant workers who
have come here on new projects, many
of them living in pathetically squalid
quarters. During the gay birthday
party Stephen astounds his folk by
announcing that he has mined with
the armed forces and will soon be off
to the Pacific for a year. Outraged
his doting father demands to know
"What will become of Shelly? What
of the medical practice which Stephen
had so arduously built?" Tactfully
Stephen assures them that all is under
control. Shelly will manage to p
occupied and a now doctor a skilled
physician and an old friend will come
to Norfolk to care for Stephens patients. 

ON THE next Friday evening.
Stephen brought Dr. Talboy to his
home for dinner. Not unexpectedly
of course. Shelly had been the one
to suggest the invitation.
"Shall I ask a girl for him? Or
is he married?" She laughed. "You
see. I don't Know a thing about
him, Stephen! Except his name
... and that is so—well it is unusual." 

Stephen nodded. "I've heard it
suggested that tie has Indian blood.
I am hoping that Mother and her
pals don't fasten on that, and—
well—you know!" He grinned at
his pretty wife.
"What tribe? she asked in delight. 

"I don't know. But he'd tell you,
if you'd ask. The point is, all those
narrow-minded women—"
"I Know the point! Now I am
anxious to see him. Is it much
blood?"
"He's dark, and there's that oddness 
to his name—beyond that,
 Really, darling. If I were
 I'd forget it."
"Maybe I'd better," she said reluctantly. 
"But you could tell
me—"
"He's a bachelor."
"Is he attractive? No, that isn't
important. I can see I'm to be
limited on questions. Shall I invite
—Oh!" She thrust her hands up
into net shining hair.
"Now what?" laughed her husband. 

"I've been struck by a wonderful 
idea. We can marry him to
Eleanor!"
Stephen laughed and groaned in
a single breath, then got up from
the table, looking at his watch.
"It would nicely care for that
problem in my life," said Shelly
pertly.
You'd better put that on the
shelf, too," Stephen advised, "till
you've seen Craig."
"He'll be no compon for you
huh?" She followed him to the side
door, tilled her face for his kiss
And suddenly clung to him fiercely.
"Oh, Stephenm," she cried. "I'm go
ing 
to miss your bacon and egg
kiss every morning!" The feel of
his arms about her— How would
she get through that year—that
long year!
That had been Wednesday, and
now on Friday evening, Craig Talboy 
came into the house with
Stephen. His strong hand enfolded
hers, his black eyes seemed to explore 
the inner channels of her
mind. He recognized her amazement, 
and asked her what caused
it.
"Well, she said, "you're older
than I expected... " Her color
deepened, "Now that's a terrible
thing to say, isn't it?"
"It is," agreed Dr. Talboy, readily, 
"because the minute a man becomes 
forty, he also becomes sensitive 
about his age."
"Only men?" laughed Stephen.
"My dear man, women never become 
forty. Even your lovely Shelly

Interracial Firm To Develop
Housing For Open Occupancy
Formation of the
Correspondent Service Corporation
to sponsor and obtain financing
for housing available to minority
groups has been announced by William 
Brafman and Madison S.
Jones, members of the newly-organized 
interracial firm which has

opened offices at 104 East 40th
Street.
Mr. Brafman, a real estate attorney 
and operating builder, has
long been active in the mortgage
field and in other business. Among
housing projects sponsored by him
are Merrick Park Gardens, a 116
unit cooperative development in
Jamaica, L. I., built under Section
213 of the National Housing Act;
Belmar Gardens, another 213 cooperative 
for 118 families in Pittsburgh; 
and 200 single family developments 
in New Jersey and New
York.
His associate, Mr. Jones, resigned 
from the position of racial relations 
officer for the New York
jurisdiction of the Federal Housing
Administration last April to join

the new organization. During his
three years service with FHA, a
total of 5,490 dwellings and more
than $48,000,000 in insured mortgages 
on housing were made available 
to minority families in New
York and New England, Previously, 
Mr. Jones had been administrative 
assistant to the executive
secretary of the National Association 
for the Advancement of Colored 
People.
During the war years he served
as an examiner for the President's
Committee on Fair Employment
Practices. "We have organized this
corporation," they said in announcing 
the new firm, "because we
realize that there is a very real
need and an extensive market for
good housing among minority families. 
We will act as correspondent
for authorized lending institutions
and mortgage lenders and the
placement of such mortgage funds
on real property in accordance
with good mortgage practice. Our
aim is to make new housing available 
to qualified families without
regard to their race, color, religion 
or national origin. Our sole
guide is the development of housing 
and the placement of mortgages 
will be quality construction
situated on premium locations.
Every job will be personally inspected. 
If our standards are not
met, then the deal will be rejected." 

The firm will sponsor, finance
and develop housing under FHA as
well as under the Veterans Administration 
procedures. The services
of the firm will be available to local 
groups and builders on a participation 
basis or as consultants.

The World Health Forum
Most heart attacks are caused by
occlusion of one of the coronary arteries. 
These vessels supply the
heart muscle with blood and become
obstructed in areas where the passageway 
becomes narrowed through
arteriosclerosis. In 1949 the condition 
accounted for 294,000 deaths.
Despite the high national death
rate, most victims can be pulled
through the initial attack. Proper
care is necessary and the most important 
consideration is rest in bed.
Absolute bed rest is not essential,
however, as the individual usually
is allowed to feed himself, move
freely in bed, and even perform leg
exercises. Many physicians also permit 
the victim to use the commode.
Each case is an individual problem
and the amount of activity depends
on the severity of the occlusion.
Many sufferers can receive adequate 
care at home — Hospitalization 
is advised when oxygen is needed 
or the individual lives so far from
the physician that it would be difficult 
to reach him in an emergency.
The hospital also is best when the
patient is temperamental and not
likely to follow orders.
Visiting can be regulated so that
intrusions by relatives, friends and
business associates is kept to a minimum. 
As a rule most of the medication 
can be given at home and in
many communities facilities are
available for home laboratory tests,
including the electrocardiogram.
The diet is varied according to the
patient's condition. Those who are
fighting for life and in no mood to

eat. They are satisfied with fruit
juices, broth, tea, milk, water or
ginger ale.
With improvement, appetite is
restored and soft foods are added
to the menu.
The question of tobacco, alcohol
and coffee is bound to arise. Alcohol 
has a tendency to dilate the coronary 
vessels, hence small amounts
are harmful. Occasionally some
benefit is noted. However, alcoholic
drinks should not be taken by those
who dislike them or do not use
them ordinarily.
Coffee also is allowed in modetion, 
provided it does not proo
restlessness and sleeplessness. Tobacco 
is prohibited during the acute
phase. In my opinion no one who
has suffered a coronary attack
should ever smoke again. Other
physicians are more lenient and
merely curtail the use of nicotine.
