U.N. Will Study
Heart Diseases

GENEVA The best preventive
advice known today against heart
disease is "be moderate in all
things" But a group of doctors
from seven countries who met in
Geneva recently under World
Health Organization auspices re-
port that research along interna-
tional lines would aid in setting up
preventive programs sooner.
The WHO Group was concerned
primarily with 'ischenic heart dis
ease" which is SO widespread that
it is a public health problem of
major Importance. The ailment,
which can be chronic or acute,
comes about when deteriorating
coronary arteries send an insuffi-
cient blood supply to the heart
muscle.
On the basis of medical evidence
today, no one factor can be blamed
for the disease, the doctors point
out. However, a number of factors
are probably at work simultane-
ously. The effect of even these,
which may include obesity, diet
and occupations giving mental
stress, seems to differ with the in
dividual, according to his social or
ethnic group.
For example, marked over
weight is considered a factor in

Patrols Report
For Sc Released

Corporal Paul Peterson, of the
London State Highway Patrol
Post, reported that figures releas-
ed by the Ohio Patrol revealed
that the organization had investi-
gated 36,209 accidents in the state
during 1855. In addition, patrol
men made 1886 arrests and is
sued 260,828 written warnings to
motorists violating the laws.
The report reveals that the most
common cause of traffic accidents
during the past year was excessive
speed not necessarily in excess of
posted limits, but excessive for
traffic and weather conditions. OF
the total, 1882 accidents were
from this cause.
DRIVERS who try to stick to the
posted limits must realize that the
limit is the MAXIMUM speed al
lowable under IDEAL conditions"
said Peterson. Probably in no
other field can circumstances al
ter cases so rapidly and so disas-
trously", he continued Each driv-
er must interpret the maximum in
his own particular case, from min
ute to minute and mile to mile.
There is no rule of thumb only
the safety rules and they pay
dividends for life, said Peterson

1t doesn't cost anything to be
charitable, and you can help other
young moderns through your ef-
forts.
How" inquiries one girl, can
l distribute a few good deeds a.
round. There never seems to be
an opportunity to do So
Easy. says the report from one
group of young moderns who have
come up with these pointers on
how to spread kindness:
What about the new girl or boy
~ your neighborhood? Have you
tried in integrate him into your
social life or have you done your
best to keep the interloper out"
Then there is the classmate w1o
doesn't quite measure up to the
crowd in style. Perhaps she's
wearing homemade dresses or
lives on the wrong side of the
tracks. Is she left out of parties
because of that even though she
measures up in other ways?
Are you critical of the student
whose grades are low because she
just isn't as bright as you? Have
you labeled her stupid" or dim
wit" or some other unkind tag?
Do you ridicule the parents or
homes of your friends because
they're not as elegant as yours?
Are you a snob about the boys
you date? Do you prefer the boy
with the biggest wallet and best
car even though he isn't as good
a character as another suitor?
Are you the jealous type who al
ways fears a prettier or wittier
girl will interest your current beau,
SO you never ask her to a party?
Do you try to outsmart your
friends party-wise When it comes
your turn to entertain do you do
it so lavishly that it embarrasses
those who've just feted the same
crowd?
When you are asked to get a
date for boy friend of your beau,
do you pick the least exciting girl
you know because you fear COM
petition?
How about your sister? Do you
deny her the use of your earrings,
stockings or evening wrap just be-
cause you are selfish even though
you make reasonable excuses to
yourself?
Are you ashamed of your par
ents for silly reasons, such as the
fact Dad sits at home in his sus-
penders or Nom likes to hover in
the kitchen, and they are not as
glamorous as your friends par
ents?
If you know of an opportunity
in a part-time job that fits the ex-
perience of friend, do you with
hold the information even though
you can't take the job yourself ?
Do you give others break on
gossip, Withholding what you sur
mise to be true because you don't
have the facts?

Education Theme
OF Club Program

The Harmony Club was enter
tanned Thursday afternoon, Janu-
ary 26, at the home of Mrs. Asa
Bradley.
The president, Mrs. James Ar
ganbright, presided.
The salute to the flag was CIV
en- and the Club Creed was read
in unison. Members responded to
roll call by telling if they thought
a college education is necessary.
The program theme was ''Educa-
ton. Mrs. Audley Lavely gave q
paper on the topic, "A Survey Of
and Suggestions for Handling In
creased Enrolment in Schools
Among other interesting state
ments, she spoke of the many pro-
blems and duties of the new State
Board of Education recently crea-
ted, one of which is to select a
new state school superintendent.
She spoke also of some of the
problems of the local school
boards, such as adequate class
rooms, securing teachers and the
financing of the new schools and
school additions.
A survey reported there are still
80, $50 one room school buildings
in the United States.
Mrs. Minnie Schneider gave a
very interesting paper on the His
tory of Madison County. Among
othr points of interest, she told
the story of the life of Jonathan
Alder, the first white settler in
Madison County, who is buried in
Foster Chapel Cemetery on the
Plain City Road, and where his
cabin, built in 1906, also stands
near by.
Mrs. Schneider passed around
a book showing pictures of some
of the early settlers and promin-
ent people of the county. all of
which made very interesting pro-
gram which was enjoyed by the
twenty one members present.
There were also three guests
Mrs Richard Krenner of Columbus,
Mrs. Cecil Dietsch and Mrs. John
Schmidt.
Refreshments were served. Tie

Sometimes it seems that we are
perfect-good friends, neighbors
and classmates. A lite soul-search-
ing is likely to reveal a very un-
charitable attitude toward others,
other young people say.
Be fair to yourself in analyzing
your charitableness though, young
moderns stress. The fact that you
might prefer kids who like horses
to those who prefer to ski or skate
doesn't mean you are snobbish at
all. You just have more in common
with that group.

heart disease. Yet United States
life insurance tables indicate that
if these persons were left out of
the statistics, the remaining death
rate there would be very much
higher than it is, for instance, In
Norway, Italy, or Japan, where
obesity is by no means rare.
In the US, the United Kingdom
and Sweden, ischemic heart dis
ease claims more men than women
in the 40-60 age group but in the
Netherlands the reverse is true.
These striking and challenging
differences observed from one
country to another, the WHO
Study Group noted, are at present
very difficult to interpret.
AS for occupations, social sta
tus and diets as possible factors in
maintaining healthy heart, the
doctors report that:
Professional and business men
suffer from heart ailments more
often and more severely than peo-
pie in more physically active jobs.
Low-fat diets in wartime Europe
were paralleled by noticeable de-
crease in the death toll from heart
disease and, generally, populations
on such diets appear to suffer a
relatively low incidence of the dis
ease.
The WHO Group also found that
the relationship between heavy
smoking and cardiovascular dis
ease is becoming more obvious,
and that there is a connection be-
tween high intake of alcohol and
excessive death rates from heart
failures.
WHO will undertake pilot re-
search studies on how diet and
physical activity affects the heart,
along lines blueprinted by the
Study Group. The doctors termed
this particular phase one of the
most difficult tasks in medical re-
search.
Conversation is the laboratory
and workshop of the student.
