Correspondence with historical societies of other states yielded information not previously known, but one fact continues to elude him: "Who are the parents of Capt. Wm, McHenry?" This interesting and worthwhile book, prefaced with pictures of President Johnson and Illinois notables, such as Senator Dirksen, Senator Percy and Governor Kerner, with quotations from each, will be completed and available to the public in limited quantity by July 15. At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Nye answered questions put to him by the audience.

HEART ATTACKS DEADLY ENEMY OF AMERICANS Heart attack is America's deadliest enemy, claiming about 500,000 liveS yearly. While it strikes mainly in middle -age, or later, the time to start safeguarding against heart at= tack is early childhood, when life-long habits are formed. Good health 'and heart habits begun now can reduce later risk of heart attack. Intensive research is going forward to find the causes of hardening of the arteries, which sets the stage for heart attack. Until this knowledge is available, physicians, generally agree that the individual can do mach to improve his chances of living longer by minimizing certain risk factors. By setting a good example, parents, can not only encourage their children to form riskmininvzing habits that may last a lifetime, but at the same time project their own hearts. Here are basic suggestions for parents: 1. Get the latest heart-saving facts and share them with your children. Your Heart association has free literature on the role played by the heart and circulatory system in sustaining human life. 2. Stress the importance of normal weight. Obesity often begins in youth. 3. Form good diet habits by serving more unsaturated fats (mostly vegetable oils) in place of saturated (mostly animal) fats, and fewer foods rich in cholesterol. 4. Encourage them to keep physically fit through regular exercise, and if possible, make regular and moderate physical activity a family affair. 5. Teach children that smoking is bad for health. Don't smoke yourself. Promote a type of self-discipline which will encourage the child not to start smoking. 6. Make doctor check-ups a family routine. Risks of heart attack, of course, increase with age. Males are more vulnerable than females. Some fami lies seem to be more predisposed to heart disease than others. These three factors - age, sex and genetic inheritance - cannot be controlled. Brit you can control the factors already mentioned and thereby improve your risk.
