He's sur­ vived by his wife, three children and a rabbit. We read and hear more and more all the time about the importance of blood pressure to our health. But, just what is blood pressure, and why is high blood pressure something to be concerned about? Blood pressure is simply the force with which your blood pushes against the walls of your blood vessels as it travels through your body. One of the causes of high blood pressure is narrowing of the blood vessels. The narrower your blood vessels, the harder your heart has to work to move the same amount of blood to all parts of your body. And, the harder your heart works, the greater the force with which your blood pushes against your blood vessels. Therefore, wide ar­ teries may mean lower blood pressure-narrow arteries, usually caused by hardening of the arterial walls, mean higher blood pressure. If your blood pressure is nearly always low, you do not have to worry about it. It can even mean a longer life. If your blood pressure varies from normal to high, you are probably prone to high blood pressure (pre-hypertensive). If your blood pressure is high, it means your heart is working too hard, and you are more likely to have heart failure, kidney failure, or a stroke. High blood pressure endangers your arteries, your heart, your kidneys and even your brain. When your blood pressure is high, it means that something is starting to go wrong in your body. The risk of having high blood pressure depends on many factors. If your blood relatives have it; if you are overweight; have a history of diabetes, kidney disease; or if you smoke; you run a high risk of having hypertension at an earlier age. How do you know if your blood pressure is high? There are no early symptoms of hypertension. The idea that having a red face, or being "up tight" or nervous are symp­ toms of hypertension, is just not true. The only way to know, is to have your blood pressure checked at regular intervals. When blood pressure is measured, a cuff is wrapped around your upper arm, and inflated to stop the flow of blood in the main artery. Air is then slowly let out of the cuff. When your blood begins to flow into your arm again, the force of blood at the moment your heart beats is measured (systolic pressure).

Miriani, district director for Northern Illinois, said. From time to time, in­ dividuals have posed as em­ ployees of the Internal Revenue Service to collect money for what these impostors refer to as unpaid taxes, according to the director. Taxpayers should bear in mind that every IRS employee who makes public contact carries distinctive iden­ tification, and is required to produce identification when conducting official business. If, after seeing an employee's identification, taxpayers still doubt the validity of the credentials offered they should immediately contact their nearest IRS office. * * * • If you make a friend by lending money you often lose a friend by trying to collect the debt. • ' • * « * Humor depends large­ ly upon whether you are the maker or the receiver of the joke.

This is the second number given to you. Generally, a systolic pressure below 140, and a diastolic pressure below 90 is within normal range for young adults. An older person may have a normal pressure with little higher numbers. However, it all depends on your age, the condition of your ar­ teries, your medical history and other factors. What can you do about high blood pressure? Follow your doctor's orders. Medicine is frequently prescribed, and you must continue to take it, even if it makes you feel sick at first. This sick feeling is usually temporary, and will pass as soon as your body adjusts to the lowered blood pressure. Remember, high blood pressure is a silent killer, causing its damage to your body over a long, long time. And women are just as likely to develop high blood pressure as are men. Women who take oral contraceptives ("the pill") should be sure to have their blood pressure checked frequently. Birth control pills are known to be contributing factors in hypertenison. Although hypertension is a lifelong condition, it can be treated and controlled by following your doctor's advice. Find out if your blood pressure is high, and get it under control before it causes heart disease, stroke or kidney damage. If you want more information about hypertension, contact your local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Disease Control, 535 West Jefferson, Springfield, 111. 62761. r I PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MAY 3,1978 Senior Hot Line j Q. How much work credit would a woman need to get retirement benefits on her own work record? A. The exact amount of Social Security credit a woman would rSied to receive retirement benefits would depend on when she reached 62. If she is 62 in 1977, for example, she would need credit for 6 l/i years of work covered undtfr Social Security to be eligible for retirement benefits. No one ever needs credit for more than 10 years of work to be insured for retirement checks. Social Security offices can furnish additional information about the work credits needed and benefit amounts a person could expect to receive. Individuals who have no work benefits may be eligible for SSI, also secured through Social Security offices. Q. Should a person cancel his private health insurance policy as soon as he becomes eligible for Medicare? A. Other health insurance should not be cancelled until the month Medicare coverage begins. And, before any changes are made in private insurance, a person might want to get in touch with his in­ surance agent or the office where he pays his premiums to discuss his health insurance needs in relation to Medicare. This might be particularly important if there are dependents covered under the present policy. Each individual must decide what private in­ surance he wants to carry in addition to Medicare. Under Medicare, the person automatically receive hospital insurance called "Part A" at no additional cost. However, to receive medical insurance, which covers doctor, as well as other medical expenses, he must ask Social Security for coverage under "Part B". Starting Jan: 1, 1978, this amounts to $8.20 a month. Q. In addition to office visits, what other services are covered under - Medicare medical insurance? A. Medical insurance can help pay for doctor's medical and surgical services, wherever they are received, /r and for diagnostic tests and procedures that are part of treatment. It also can help pay for special equipment and other services, such as those or­ dinarily furnished in the doc­ tor's offices and included in the bill: X-rays, services of the doctor's office nurse, drugs that cannot be self- administered, medical sup­ plies, and physical therapy and speech pathology services. More detailed information about Medicare coverage can be found in the Medicare Handbook or by contacting Social Security offices.

At age 90, she has four books of memories in various stages of production. She has already finished "From Bloomers to Bikinis" and "Memories of a Bloomer Girl." A nationally known pioneer in the field of physical education, Dr. Lee graduated magna cum laude from Coe college in 1908. She taught physical education in several colleges for 42 years. She introduced girls' basketball and met head-on any obstacles to women taking part in athletics. She advocated sports for women that would be competitive, relaxing, body­ building and joyful, but not for showmanship or profit. Mabel Lee caused some consternation with her first "bloomer girls" and an uproar when her dancers first ap­ peared barefoot. But she has been awarded almost every honor available to a physical education director. She served on a national amateur athletic board with Mrs. Herbert Hoover and on General George Marshall's civilian advisory committee for the first Women's Army Corps. She is still honored and loved by colleagues in the National Association of Physical Education for College Women which she founded. At 68, Dr. Lee went to Iraq on a Fulbright scholarship to serve as consultant to the Ministry of Education in Baghdad. Her books which have her diaries as their source, reflect Mabel Lee's full life. Those under way are "50 Years of Campus Capers," "In Search of Europe Before World War I," "Growing Up at the Turn of the Century," and "Camel Bells to Cadillacs" (based on her teaching experience in Iraq). "When you love your work," says Dr. Lee, "you don't retire."
