USDA Director Expects Good Year For Exports The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) an­ n o u n c e d o p e r a t i o n a l procedures and initial State funding for the 1975 Agricultural Conservation program <ACP>. General details of ACP and the funding level were announced recently. Authority t6 develop prac­ tices needed to solve con­ servation problems is being delegated to each of the USDA's farmer-elected County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) com­ mittees in consultation with the county Program Development group. All approved practices in effect under the 1970 National Agricultural Con­ servation Program are eligible. Practices developed by county ASC committees will be subject to approval by State ASC committees in consultation with the State Program Development group. Throughout the practice development and cost-sharing approval process, ASC State and County committees should emphasize the objective of assuring that cost-sharing will be carrying out enduring soil and water conservation measures that the farmer would not perform without this assistance. Specialized assistance for ACP will be provided by other USDA agencies with the Soil Conservation service fur­ nishing planning and technical assistance on servicing of practices and long-term agreements and technical services concerning Forestry practices provided by the Forest service. As announced earlier, $190 million will be made available for program operations, and will share with farmers bet­ ween 50 and 75 percent of the cost of carrying out needed practices. The $190 million includes funds to fully finance the long-term agreements signed under the 1974 Rural Environmental Conservation program, currently projected at about $33,750,000. Individuals interested in further information concerning the Agricultural Conservation program should contact their county ASCS office or USDA Service center. Physicians: Stand Up And Take Your Medicine Physicians may soon be admonishing their heart patients to "stand up and take their medicine" -- literally. A team of Baltimore researchers described recently a series of studies that showed nitroglycerin, the most com­ monly prescribed heart drug, to work more effectively when taken in an upright position. Dr. Nicholas J. Fortuin and his Johns Hopkins university colleagues, Drs. Frank Chatham and Bertram Pitt, reported their findings at the forty-seventh annual scientific sessions of the American Heart association. Nitroglycerin is generally prescribed for patients with angina pectoris, chest pains due to heart disease. The symptoms stem from an Ob­ struction and narrowing of the heart 's major supply lines, the coronary arteries. Unable to get an adequate supply of oxygen, the heart cells signal their distress. One way the drug relieves pain is by dilating the coronary vessels, allowing more oxygen to reach the heart. Nitroglycerin is also thought to reduce the size or volume of the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. In this way the heart muscle has to work less, thereby decreasing the oxygen demands. Previous studies had shown the drug to have only a small effect on ventricular volume. "Using echocardiography -- a \ , New Procedure For Draft Registration Due End Of 1975 President Ford signed Proclamation 4360 dated March 29. 1975, which changes the method by which young men. both citizens and aliens, fulfill their obligation to register under the provisions of the Military Selective Service act. The termination of existing registration procedures became effective April 1. 1975. Byron V. Pepitone, director of Selective Service, said, "Planning is under way for a new registration procedure. The requirement to register is non-invasive technique for measuring heart size by bouncing chest-penetrating ultrasonic signals off the heart -- the Baltimore scientists were able to confirm a reduction in left ventricular dimensions within three minutes after the nitroglycerin was administered. (Generally, the drug, in pill form, is slipped under the tongue where it dissolves and enters the bloodstream for quick tran­ sport to the heart.) What the Baltimore scientsts did find, however, was that the reduction in volume was considerably enhanced when the drug was administered to the patient as he stood upright. The studies were performed in the supine and upright positions on alternate days in eight young volunteers. PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1975 still in lull force and effect, and only the method of registration will be changed." The director explained that planning centered around a once a year registration period of a tew days in which young men born in a given year would be required to present them­ selves for registration. He indicated that several plans were under discussion and said. "When it is determined what method of registration will be utilized, the public an­ nouncement of procedures will be made by proclamation as prescribed in the Military Selective Service act. The public announcement of these new registration procedures will probably be made toward the end of 1975. Mr. Pepitone stressed that the change in registration procedures is a part of-the on­ going studies to reduce the cost of maintaining a Selective Service system in support of the All Volunteer Military establishment.
