Thutsd&y* January 6# 19to THE MdHENRV PLAINDEALER Section Two -- Page One North-South God made the beautiful country, but man put up all the detour signs ..along the worst parts of it., John Pepin, composing room foreman at the Plaindealer office, returned Monday morning after a holiday vacation. He brought with him several stalks taken from the cotton field owned by his wife's parents in Levelland, Texas. The soft cotton bails placed on each desk that morning will remind the staff of warmer climes when another type of "soft white" falls from the sky this month. Dr. SIMS says... SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY WHAT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE REALLY INDICATES As part of yotir "physical" the doctor has placed --tHat peculiar rubber cuff around your arm, inflated it, and told you that your blood pressure is 120 , over 80. ^ If you're like many persons, you probably don't know what your doctor means by that I "120 over 80." Nor, perhaps just what "high" and "low" ' blood pressure is, and why - blood pressure readings are ' necessary." | A blood pressure reading en- | ables your doctor to study the dynamics of your heart and the ! elasticity of the blood vessels. , The higher reading, called the i systolic pressure, indicates the maximijm pressure your heart [ exerts when it compresses (squeezes down). The lower [ reading, known as the diastolic pressure, indicates the minimum pressure your heart exerts when it is relaxed. In a young man, the systolic pressure is approximately 120 and the diastolic pressure 80 (120-80). In a young woman, the reading is usually 115-80. However, by 'the time you reach tige 60, your systolic , pressure may rise about 20 ! points and the diastolic 7 a reading considered fairly aver- ' age at that age. | If your pressure differs somewhat from the above figures, it does not necessarily represent cause for alarm, i .People who are overweight usually have a higher pressure' (which is probably needed to circulate blood to their extra •balk) and, thin people often luiye lower than normal pressure. In fact, there is so much variation within the range of good heahli that your systolic "pressure would have to go well aljove 145 consistently before your pressure is classified "high" or well below 100 before classified "low". If you fiave low blood pressure, don't worry. Unless the pressure is so low that your blood is not being circulated sufficiently, it usually does not indiciite ill health. In fact,, if you have low blood pressure, statistically you have a better chance of living a longer than average life. If you have high blood pressure, it could be caused by a number of conditions, such as kidney disease or malfunction of the adrenal glands (glands which secrete, among other hormones, one necessary to stimulate the heart).

People with mild hypertension often live an average life span. However, it always represents a threat. One of the greatest dangers is that it could ultimately lead to heart failure by forcing the heart to work harder and* harder, year after year. Under your doctor's guidance, however, hypertension can be fairly well controlled, primarily through diet, medication and relaxation. HEALTH INSURANCE If you are over 65 years of age, you may be considering dropping your health insurance -- figuring that the new Medicare bill will take care of you. You'd be wise to reconsider. "It is important to re-emphasize that the law does not meet all hospital and related care costs for the aged," is the warning of Dr. Burtis JS. Montgomery, Harrisburg, president of the Illinois State Medical Society. Dr. Montgomery feels senior djtj^ens should hold into their health insurance because while the law takes effect July, 1966, some aspects of it do not begin until January, 1967. He warns potential medicare applicants of these points: Hospital Care Although the plan covers all services -- including those of residents--^and interns in ttaining^-- it will NOT cover tlte-p^yment for physician services, private duty nursing, nor the full cost of a private rooyn. The plan covers a total of 90 days of hospitalization for each "spell of illness." BUT a new "spell of illness" begins after you have been out of a hospital or nursing home at least 60 consecutive days. You must pay the first $40 of the hospital bill. You pay $10 per day after 60 days for the remaining 30 days of each "spell of illness." Nursing Home Care Coverage J of« nursing home care does riot begin until January, 1967.\ When it begins, the plan covers you for a total of 100 days in each "spell of illness." For only 20 days does the plan meet the FULL cost of nursing home care. You pay $5 per day, after the 20th day, /or the remaining 80 days. You must have been hospitalized at least three days to qualify for the above.
