classes. there was a complete
boycott by whites.
At, FrantZ, a handful of
white children remained with

Mild Coronory A
Misleading Term

CHICAGO-The term mild cor
onary is seriously misleading"
three Philadelphia physicians said
this week.
Although the symptoms may be
relatively mild, the underlying
cause may be serious, Drs. Will
lam Likoff, Sheldon Bender and
Leonard Dreifus said in the cur
rent Aug. 26) Journal of the A
merican Medical Association.
A coronary, or heart attack, is
caused by a blood clot that blocks
one or both of the two coronary
arteries that nourish the heart
The underlying cause is harden
ing of these arteries.
On the basis of a study OF 100
patients over five-year period,
the authors said. it appears that
mild heart attack resulting from
an incomplete evolution of a major
attack may very well recur within
a short time and exact a more
severe penalty Mild attacks from
Occlusions of very small arterial
branches are less significant.
OF the total number of patients,
48 per cent suffered a second heart
attack within five years after re-
covering from the initial attack,
they reported Some second at
tacks occurred within IL. months.
The death rate among those strick-
en- a second time was Is per cent.
In terms Of chronic disability,
occurrences, and ultimate mortal
ity, the fate of these patients re-
sembled that Of persons with sig
nificant, if not advanced, harden
ing of the coronary arteries, the
authors said.
This study strongly implies that
whatever protective measures are
currently available should be ap-
piled for an absolute minimum of
two years following the initial at
tack, especially when the symp-
toms-persist," the authors con-
cluded.

Keep Shirfbourds
For Future Use

Many homemakers are in the
habit of throwing away the shirt
boards from their husbands fresh
ly Numbered shirts, without real
izing that they can be very useful
in the home. Here are some hints
from the American Institute of
Laundering, research and educa-
ton center for the professional
laundry industry, on how to make
use Of these versatile shirtboards.
Fl ON m kers will find shirt
boards convenient when prepar-
ing food for the family. Fruits or
vegetables for salads can be cut
or peeled without mess on these
boards. Besides making a nice cut
ting surface, the board absorbs
juices lost in cutting, and makes
a sturdy wrapping when folded "a
round the Feelings for disposal.
Shirtboards are stiff enough to
hold sweepings when no dust pan
is available and, if you're building
a home. save those shirtboards to
pick up wood shavings, plaster,
as we'll as dirt and mud tracked in
to the house
Another variety of uses, the In
stitute says, occurs when there is
painting to be done in the home.
When painting windows the shirt
board can be held over the glass
so it will receive the excess paint.
Boards can also be used as guides
or straight edges and as "splatter
boards" under paint cans.
Shirtboards can be used under
potted plants to protect the paint
ed or vanished window sill, on
newly scrubbed or waxed floors
to prevent tracks or scuff marks,
as picture backing when mounting
photographs or paintings, or as
protection from sleet or snow
when held in place by the wind
shield wiper on the family car
Shirtboards will come in handy
on days when you'd like to keep
the children quietly busy in the
house. The children can use them
for coloring, making puzzles and
stencils, or for building houses or
boats.
