Deenaber 22,1949 BtTaiffct TnHI Abwt Htart DIsmsi general public must be ^taught the truth about heart disso that individuals will "not I' rlfho frightened without cause," acdordln| to a Yale university doctor. %J Dr. Harold M. Marvin, president ^the American Heart association, asserts medical investigators have .'jfearned that so-called "hsart attacks" are not fatal .or disabling fxcept to a small percentage of . eases, that high blood pressure is ^ot the terrifying condition it was ,,fnce thought to be, and that thousands of men and women with "fblUart 'disease are leading active •jMlivea' without discomfort. \ I "An intelligent understanding. Dr. Marvin says, "would lead «%iusioA of lay people to partici- ®*pate in the work of local groups, | where they are sorely needed. Aft- I .«r afl, this battle against- ou? great- | «st health problem must be fought by all the people, not ^ust by the doctors; unless thousands of citi- ^ aens give their help we cannot hope . ' ; lor in early or decisive victory." Although deaths from heart disci se have been on the increase, " . Dr. Marvin looks upon the overall a picture as "far more encouraging" •v than fine might expect from the death rates alone. The Yale heart expert described t the five types of hfeart illnesses that are frequent enough to be consid- • ered health problems. They are: I) congenital heart disease--the kind that is present at« birth, and accounts for two or three per cent . of all heart diseases; 2) the type caused by syphilis, responsible for . six to eight per cent; S) rheumatic W heart disease, accounting for 90 per cent of all heart disease in childhood juid early adult life; 4) the type caused by high blood pressure; and 5} the kind caused by hardening or narrowing of the coronary arteries. The report also revealed that 2,787 dentists, or about one in each 30, are employed by the army, air forces, navy, veterans administration and United States public health service. Distribution of dentists throughout the nation still varies widely, according to the report, ranging from a ratio of one dentist to each 1,029 residents in New York state to- a ratio of one dentist for each •4,472 residents of South Carolina. Among regions of the country, the most favorable ratio of dentists to population was recorded in the Middle East with an average of 1,332 persons for each dentist. For both New England and in the Far West, the report showed a ratio of one dentist for each 1,441 persons. Total population per dentist for other regions was reported as: Central, 1,568; Northwest, 1,726; Southwest, 3,099; and Southeast, 3,283. i' - ' I Diitist ftr Each lv727 New Dental Survey Shows The United States had a total of 86*904 dentists in mid-1949 -- an average of one dentist for 1,727 Residents--it was reported today by the bureau 6f economic research and statistics of the American Dental association. .. Tbe new estimated total is a gain of approximately 5,600 over the number of dentists listed in a similar survey conducted by the == Association two years ago. In 1947, & it was estimated that the dentistpopulation ratio was one dentist fcr_*acb. !JHJ pyson?. Bead the Want Ada. Fighting Swine Dysentery When dysentery breaks out in a staine herd, about the best thing the owner can do is to go out of the hog business for a while. That drastic action was recommended by Dr. L. P. Doyle of Purdue university at a Conference of the American Veterinary Medical association. Dr. Doyle explained that careful nursing and feeding, strict sanitary practices, and isolation of infected animals fire the only means of coping with outbreaks, since drugs are not always dependable. Hogs that recover may remain as carriers, so the producer is virtually forced to get rid of every animal that has been infected. Once all the potential carriers are out of the way and the grounds and pens have been thoroughly disinfected, the owner can start to rebuild his herd, the Purdue veterinarian said. A germ called "Vibrio coli" is believed to cause the'swine type of dysentery. It spreads rapidly where traffic in hogs is heavy, and young animals are highly susceptible to each • it. A belief expressed by some producers t that rainy weather may favor the disease was discounted by Dr. Doyle. "We have not been able to correlate the fluctuation in incidence with weather conditions,'* he declared. » • .7 Glasses, Once Frowned On, Needed, Worn by Millions The notion that eyeglasses ara • social liability is almost as extinct today as the dinosaur, according to the" Better Vision institute. Notwithstanding a few die-hards who neglect their eyesight because of the fear that glasses may de^ tract from their appearance, most people realize that style has stamped its okay on specs and converted them into a means of accenting the personality as well as improving and preserving vision. At first glance the history of glasses looks something like that of walking sticks. Originally a stick was carried as a weapon of defense, or to aid the tottering steps of old age. Then it became a mark of distinction to carry a cane, and canes were produced from fine woods with mountings of precious metals. They developed into works of art. Now, however; they are little used, since fashion no longer favors them and they do not fill a widespread human need. Glasses, too, were first in demand for their usefulness atid later went through. a period of elaborate^ ornamentation. But they have not fallen ipto disuse and never will, for the simple reason that they are urgently needed by millions of people and they grow more and more necessary as civilization marches on. It is said that an early prejudice against spectacles was deliberately promoted by medical men of the middle ages, who used ointments and lotions in treating eye ailments, and who feared that the newly invented lenses would destroy their income. The great painters, however, gave dignity and beauty to the use of spectacles by often portraying them on the faces or in the hands of their subjects, Raphael painted Pope Leo X holding concave glasses, and Rembrandt introduced them in his portrait of a woman asleep over her book. . • Danger In Bonfires It is common piactice to dispose of combustible rubbish, such as discarded papers, dry grass, etc., by burning it. It is also a common practice which should be prohibited for children to burn wood and other combustibles for the fun of seeing the blaze. Children are attracted by, the flames of bonfires and often do not realize the hazards of them; and they may become too venturesome, fall into the fire, and be fatally burned; or their clothing may be ignited with serious results. Grea} care should be exercised when adding fresh fuel to a bonfire or when stirring up the fir*/ , . Prince Charles Island Within 2,000 miles ot Washington, D.C. ail island nearly as big as Connecticut was discovered for the first time in 1948. Named Prince Charles Island for Great Britain's infant prince, it lies in Canada's Foxe Basin, ju»t north ofHudson •Bay. .i' ;.;': ffisterle Meao The* first paint mill in America, known today as the "Boston Stone" was imported from England. It's now embedded in a rear well of the building at the corner of Hanover and Marshall Streets and serves as a symbol of the beginning of the nation's paint industry. The "Boston Stone" is really a com-, bination of two stones--a ball 18 or 20 inches in diameter resting in a trough in an oblong stone which is perhaps three feet in length. The latter was part of the original stone trough in which paint was ground with the aid of the stone tWti.. Favors Farmer* Approximately four of 10 American voters believe the government in Washington has treated farmers better than either labor or business, a recent survey shows. Of those questioned^ 41 per cent thought farmers had been treated best; 25 .per cent said labor, 13 per cent that .business had been favored. Go Well WifU Poultry Some of the foods which team •nicely with poultry are macaroni, rice, bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, milk, cream, and most vegetables. G ET U P A P A RT Y FOR ; OAK PARK HOTEL S^? (PISTAKEE BAY) Ceffee 8ttmaU£es Trade Coffee, whether or not it serves to enliven or stimulate the drinker, is certainly a stimulant to international trade. In 1947 it stood number one in the list of commodities imported into the United States-- as it has in many of the years since 1900. Always it has been an outstanding import item, though occasionally surpassed by sugar, hides and skins, rubber, wool and mohair, or slBL >. Lightning Bad ProtectlM When -properly installed, lightning rods afford a high degree of protection and often save many times their cost in fire prevention alone. This is particularly true in the open country, since lightning is more likely to strike buildings there than in the city. Exposure in the country is considerably greater, and there are no high buildings nearby that may divert the lightning stroxe. Need rubber staapa! The Plaindealer.
