UNTIL RECENTLY we knew very little about heart
disease - only generation ago a coronary attack
was often called ptomaine poisoning or acute indi-
geston. In the last 20 years medical research, sup
ported by the American Heart Association and other
groups, has learned great deal about such vital
subjects the prevention of rheumatic fever heart
surgery, improved treatment of cases of high blood
pressure.
Unfortunately, most of us still believe some of
the myths and misconceptions of the past. Because
this can lead to needless worrying or feeling of
hopelessness it is important to know the truth.
Here are some of the fables heart specialist
encounters far too often:
4. How normal a life?
Fa6le: 4 person ,cho has had heart attack can't
lead a normal life.
Fact: Most patients lead useful and productive
lives following recovery from heart attack. Some

may have to make job adjustments and changes in
their manner of living, but most 60 back to work.
2. Is OceT<cOrk harmful?
Fable: 70" can Strain your heart by .oorkiug too
hard.
Fact: If you are in good condition, hard work or
vigorous exercise is not harmful Regular, moderate
exercise is one of the best ways to keep physically
fit; the danger is that people, especially men over
49, resist exercise in all forms for most of the year.
then go overheard during two-week vacation or a
hunting weekend. Sudden exertion should be
avoided by the middle-aged.
;. Heart trouble and pregnancy
Fable: Women uith heart disease shouldn't haze
children.
Fact: With proper medical supervision, most
women with heart diseases can bear children safely.

like anyone else. But keeping up their GctiUe parci
patton i" sports is probably good for their hearts
cuss the problem with her doctor and learn just
what she should do to help protect her own health
and ensure that her baby will be healthy.
4. Are athletes more susceptible?
FGSte: Athletes are more prone to heart attack than
Other people because dtey haze tendency to deteop
big hearts.
Fact: Athletes may suffer heart attacks, like many
Of the rest of US. Because heart disease takes
lives than all other diseases combined, many ath
letes = well as plumbers executives and artists
die of heart disease If athletes keep up their
active participation in sports or continue regular
exercise their hearts are probably in better condl
ton than the constant spectators of the nation.
5. Which sports are taboo?
F%bse: If man has a heart attack, he has to gire
up participating in actipe sports.

Reverse Freedom Riders
Won't Suffer IF
TheV Come Here

State and local officials OF pub
lie and private welfare and human
relations organizations are pre-
pared for any emergency which
the threatened sending by the
Louisiana White Citizens Council
Of 20 New Orleans Negroes to
Minneapolis for Christmas, mater
ializes.
The usual agencies which take
care of such emergencies, as the
arrival Of persons without plans
or funds are expected to take over
if the planned Reverse Freedom
Riders" come to the city.
The White Citizens Council orig
inally planned to send the un-
fortunates, who have been falsely
told there are jobs awaiting them
in Minneapolis, to be guests" of
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey,
whom the leader of the racists
called the leading civil rights ad-
vocate in the us. Senate"
Humphrey and his family had
made prior plans to hold their
family Christmas in Washington.
These plans will not be changed.
Humphrey told a news confer
ence last week he was sure Min
nesota would treat the persons
sent here Hospitality if they did
come.
So many Twin City families,
white and Negro showed interest
in having the families for Christ
mas dinner, and providing any who
came with warm clothes, that a
coordinating committee was set up
to see that everything went
smoothly If the Louisianians come
to Minneapolis.
1t has been difficult to obtain
any definite information or plans,
but reporters for this paper have
been told that every effort would
be made by established agencies to
see that the men, women and chill
dren whom the White Citizens
Council claim they are sending
will not suffer while in Mime
apolis.

The law of diminishing returns
began to operate. The unforeseen
consequence of our compelling
argument is that the stereotype
of the Negro family as low income,
poorly educated, and slum living
has been perpetuated, and the rise
of the Negro middle class has gone
unnoticed.
Ignorance by whites Of the rap
idly growing Negro middle class
has rationalized, for them, their
resistance to movements by Ne
groes into middle class neighbor-
hoods and suburbs, and into GER
tain white-collar, technical, and
professional positions in business.
Yet public discussion of unem-
ployment, dependency, and juve-
nile delinquency among Negroes
continues - minus any considera-
ton of the presence of a continu-
ously growing, numerically impor-
tant, middle-income Negro popula-
ton in Chicago.
Such discussions are like those
battles which, in the phrase Of
Ambassador Galbraith, ARE being
fought with blank cartridges for
ground that has already been won
in a war that is over" There can
be no question that the Negro
middle class Is here to stay, and
expand. To back up this statement
I need only point to the Commis-
sion's study on the Negro middle
class in Chicago and suburbs.
At least 35 to 40 per cent of
Chicago's Negro families belong to
the middle class, Judged by college
education, occupation, income, and
home ownership.
The growth Of this middle class
comes at significant hour in Chi
cago's history. The large migra-
ton of Negroes from the South,
which reached its peak in the late
1e4Vs and early 195o's, has now
begun to taper off. AS a result,
the major source Of Negro popul-
alton growth in Chicago and its
suburbs during the 1905 will be
through natural increase and not
immigration.
The growing middle class re-
fleets the rise Of a second and third
generation among Negro Chicago
ans, whose progress must be reck-
oned with as we plan for the 1905
and 197Vs.
