Library News

Some one has said that to read
the New York Times regularly is a
liberal education in itself.
No newspaper in the United
States is rated more highly for its
coverage of world news, whish be-
cause of the tensions in various
parts of the world is so very i'm
portant right now.
There is section devoted to
sports news from everywhere, and
one to business and its trends. If
art, drama or photography is your
hobby, there are special sections
for you. Also the latest successes
on the New York stage are written
up so that we may decide in ad-
vance of our opportunity just what
we want to see.
Nothing could be more enticing
than the sections devoted to travel
or to flowers, trees, gardens.
All these are available to you ir
the Sunday New York Times which
comes weekly to the West Jeffer-
son Public Library.

Heart Attacks Not
Brought On By Any
Single Exertion

COLUMBUS - If someone in
your family has had a heart at
tack, don't blame yourself for his
illness.
Friends and families of heart at
tack victims often reproach them
selves as causing the attack. Actu-
ally a heart attack-or coronary
thrombosis the result of a pro-
cess that has been going on for
years in the arteries, the Central
Ohio Heart Association explains.
At times, patients and members
of their families inflict on thenl-
selves needless anguish by blaming
the unexpected attack on a party
they attended the night before,
running for a bus and similar var
iations in their routine
Exertion alone, most physicians
agree, will not cause a blood clot
to form in an artery, thus inducing
thrombosis. The clot would not
form if the arteries were healthy.
Even without the particular exer-
else cited by the family as the
cause, the clot would have formed
anyway.
An overwhelming number of case
histories show that attacks occur
when the patient is resting, sleep
ing or carrying on his normal rou-
tine in office or home.
BY the nature of heart attacks
themselves, self-reproach is unjus-
titled. For some 80 years the medi-
cal profession has known of the
existence of a fatty substance call
ed cholesterol that is the main in
gredient of deposits that in some
manner build up between the inner
lining of the arteries and the sur
rounding arterial muscle 1t is be-
lieved to be the cause of one form
of hardening of the arteries" -
atherosclerosis.
Because of these deposits, the
channels of the arteries are grad
ually narrowed, thus gradually re-
ducing the amount of blood that
can pass through. This is accom-
panied by a roughening of the in
per wall, forming convenient
"hooks" on which clots can lodge
to cause thrombosis. When this
will occur, no one can foresee.
The narrowing of the coronary
artery proceeds slowly and often
without indications the individual
can detect. Many symptoms COM
monty believed indicative of a
"heart attack" may be the result of
ether disorders.
While thrombosis may occur in
an artery rather quickly, it never
happens in healthy artery. The
real culprit is the thickening and
roughening of the arterial walls
atherosclerosis.
When the public understands
this, it will go far toward avoiding
the self-reproach that may occur
in a family when a heart attack of
this type strikes. Feelings of guilt
disrupt the family emotionally and
retard the recovery of the patient.
At present, no one can tell why
atherosclerosis affects one person
and passes over the next. Diet, hor-
mones, emotional factors and occu-
pational stress and other possible
factors are undergoing study.
Meanwhile, the families of those
affected should remember that the
majority of those stricken recover
to resume productive and happy
lives. 1t is serious disease to be
sure, but, recent scientific advanc-
eS furnish reason to believe that
the majority of those stricken re-
cover to resume productive and
happy lives. 1t is a serious disease
