this space on the lack of knowledge of proper on-the-spot treatment for heart, attack victims brought a heavy response to Reporter D i c k ! Utts, who authored the col-! umn.
Dick noted! t h e observa-j tion of George [ Cooley, retired I Chamber of Commerce executive secretary, foreman are not well enough informed on what to do if a worker suffers a coronary attack.
One correspondent, who shall remain nameless, claims the lack of knowledge resulted in the death of her father after he suffered a heart attack in a local plant, »
*. • *__, MEANWHILE, Robert J.
Long, executive director of the county chapter of the American Heart Assn., has declared his group will cooperate in Mr. Cooley's suggestion that the subject be placed on the agenda of the next Western New York Safety Conference.
Mr. Long outlines some advice on preliminary treatment for heart attack victims and notes that a pamphlet on the subject is available.
* * * THE MOST important thing
you can do he says, is to call a doctor at once. You should not attempt to carry or lift the patient unless the doctor is present, nor should you give him anything to drink. You may, however, help the patient take the position in which he finds it easiest to breathe, loosen any tight clothing such as belts or shirt collars, and see that he doesn't become chilled.
The heart association's advice is given in a leaflet entitled "Heart Attack." Copies may be obtained on request to the Niagara County Heart Chapter, 15 Webster St., North Tonawanda.
The usual symptoms of a heart attack are a severe painful feeling of pressure under the breastbone Kwhich in _mild cases may be mistaken for acute indigestion), sudden intense shortness of breath, sweating, and, occasionally loss of consciousness.
As the leaflet explains, a heart attack usually means a coronary thrombosis, the acute condition that develops when one of the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle with blood is suddenly blocked by a clot.
* * • ALTHOUGH the attack it
self is sudden, it is the result of a slowly developing disease condition known as atherosclerosis. In atherosclorosis, the normally smooth artery walls become roughened by fatty deposits, and there is narrowing of the channels through which the blood flows.

OFFICERS of the Niagara County Boat Club have announced start of a safety campaign for boatmen.
The first NCBC safety project is a campaign to curb the reck-lcs boatman. All boatmen will be asked to display a "Thumbs-Down" salute to the reckless drivers, cowboys, and clowns. It is believed that a general display of disapproval will help to curb these water maniacs.
P o s t e r s explaining the Thumbs-Down" campaign will be displayed at Marinas, public docks and launching rites and marine tales establishments.
. . . NCBC Race director Steve
Traven says that the public should not associate the reckless drivers with race drivers. *The racing drivers are m*. among the "goof balis" who are causing trouble/* he said. "These f clowns wouldn't last ten minutes in organized racing before being disqualified for life."
Real racers can be recognized by s number twelvs inches high with the letter "N." They can also be recognized by wearing collar-type life preservers and crash helmets which they must wear during practice under threat of disqualification.
The proiram of NCBC is to encourage particrpation in boating and water sports. A major obstacle to participation is the fear of an accident The water-borne "clowns" aft, to a degree, mining the sport, causing strict legislation and policing and living the aport a poor name.
The wont offenders are not children bat grown men, often under th6 influence of alcohol. NCBC has suggested to legislators that severe penalties should be imposed on persons operating or tiding in boats while intoxicated.

Power Bill Is Stalled In Senate
By JOHN KELSO Gannett News Service
WASHINGTON — One reason Niagara legislation is temporarily stalled in the Senate is the failure of the House PubKc Works Committee to act on the omnibus rivers and harbors authorization bill.
The House Public Works Committee has been deliberating the merits and demerits of the authorization bill for weeks, much to the annoyance of certain Senators who helped push it through the upper house a fairly long time ago.
Among these annoyed senators is Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla), who happens to be the author of a refined Niagara bill reported out recently by the Senate Public Works Subcommittee of which he is chairman. The full committee has skipped any opportunity to act on the Kerr bill for a couple of-weeks, and the word is that it won't see its way clear to take it up for at least another fortnight —or until Kerr is finished with "the hard money" hearings now being conducted by the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), chairman. Kerr is also a member of this committee, and "very much interested" in the examination of the fiscal policies of this country. Thus, it is explained, he cannot possibly find the time to go into the Niagara matter.
The omnibus rivers and harbors authorization buM — commonly known as the pork barrel bill—was vetoed last year by President Eisenhower after legislators tacked onto it items not approved by Army engineers.
The scuttlebutt is that Kerr would not be adverse to the idea of certain House members interested in Niagara, legislation, including Rep.,William E. Miller (R-NY) of Lockport, attempting to smooth the way, either on Capitol Hill or "downtown" at the White House, for the pork barrel measure.
The House Public Works Committee is under the chairmanship of Rep. Charles A. B u c k l e y (D-NY), who has a reputation of playing his cards close to his vest.
Buckley was in and out of Washington this week, and could not be reached for comment, but one of his assistants said that "I understand the committee d i s-cussed Niagara legislation and decided to wait for the Senate to act."
Asked when the House Public Works Committee would meet on the omnibus rivers and harbors authorization bill, the Buckley assistant said, "I understand there might be a committee vote on it Thursday."
Meanwhile, all hands continue optimistic that the Senate finally will get around to passing Kerr's Niagara bill this, session, and that the House will act favorably on it shortly afterwards.
Buckley has told Miller that once he gets the Senate's Niagara bill, his committee will report it out within two days, after which the House itself will act on it within eight days—the latter upon the word of majority leader John W. McCormack (D-Mass).

"It is a thoughtful, far sighted, friendly gesture you are making," Ambassador Puga said.
"I am personally proud that Mr. Horab is becoming one of my colleagues. I am sure my country is going to receive him with open arms. He will have many things to tell you when he comes back."
Dr. Jan-Albert Goris, commission of information for Belgium in the United States, who represented the Belgian Embassy, assured the group that Mr. Lenhart will be well received by his country.
Dr. Goris taid that he had found that Mr. Lenhart was traveling to Belgium on the same ship as he was returning home on and promised to "take good care" of him.
He expressed appreciation over the project and pleasure that a representative of Niagara Falls was being sent to Belgium this year.
Dr. Geiger presided and welcomed the representatives of the two countries, relatives of the ambassadors and members of the committee and cooperating groups.
The Rev. H. Edward Whitaker, New Hope Baptist Church, the president of the Religious Fellow

He said that further discussions between the council and the Lutheran committee on interdenominational n»lilinnth;p t ar> H c s i r ^

The church dares not be lulled into a false security by the signs of promise in present day religion, Dr. Ahlstrom said in giving the talk on the Lutheran Church and its world outreach in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the arrival of Johannes Ernestus Gutwasser in the United States. Pastor Gutwasser was the first minister called to an American congregation.
'These are days when the pieties of usefulness are sweeping the country," Dr. Ahlstrom said. "Everywhere we hear fake prophets proclaiming- their religion of religiosity, asking only for faith in faith, belief in belief.
"And the tawdy heresies of Norman Vincent Peale do not constitute the only evil. From many Christian pulpits there is resounding nothing more substantial than the weak sentimentality of Sallman's Jesus."
Dr. Ahlstrom listed four uniquely American contributions to church life: First, the tradition of democratic church organization with strong participation by lay members; second, the deep and strong tradition nf religions free dom that forces the church to advance its work on its own

Where revivalism has given away to conventional, complacent, bourgeous-culture Protes-taism, even revivalistic fervor has languished."
Calling for increased worship in the church, Dr. Ahlstrom declared that two main causes for America's "class stratified church" was the tradition of-the sermon dominated worship and the principal of congregational organization "that looks to multifarious organizations to establish fellowship and forgets the bond of

merits and not by compulsion and non-religious measures.
Third, a strong sense of evangelism born in part of religious freedom. Fourth, the inter-rdated fact of a church independence of the support of the state and dependence on a voluntary membership.
Lutherans were warned against letting the church's conception of exegetical, expository preaching languish.
Dr. Ahlstrom called also for better teaching. "One hundred fifty years of American revivalism
At other late sessions yesterday the Synod voted for the first timo to take on direct financial support of a social welfare agency.
It will assume membership in the reorganized Lutheran Welfare Council, the cooperative council for 28 Lutheran social service agencies in New York City.
In the past, all such Lutheran agencies were supported by groups of local congregations. .
The neW Lutheran Welfare Council will attack the social problems of New York City on a broSd scale, the convention was' told. It includes agencies which serve children, teenagers, married persons and the aged. Hospitals, centers for counciling, chaplaincies in hospitals and penal institutions and other agencies with varied concerns will benefit by the Synod's active participation in their work.
A man who couldn't prove he was a minister was received as a pastor. The Rev. Denis Buthy fled Hungary seven months ago and had no proof of ordination. . The Rev. Dr. Frederick R. Knu-
bel, president of the Synod, explained to the Convention that the Rev. Mr. Buthy had been ordained by the Lutheran Church in
l^fHungary and had served very capably while in that country. Because Pastor Buthy had left the country during the Revolution last fall, he had to leave behind all his papers and proof of ordination.
Mr. Buthy escaped Hungary during the November uprising, taking his wife and three children and walking from Enying-Siofok to the Austrian border. The only clothe* they carried were those on their backs. Ordination papers, cherished books and family possessions • were all left behind.
Upon reaching the United States, the family settled in the Buffalo area.
