— jr ■ "— Heart Disease May Oft ehtAffect Young People

4 - DISCOVERY of new facts con*' ‘ slantly forces medical scieaee to 'revise its opinons. This is the case where coronary heart dueease is concerned. ». ? - Since thia disorder results from degenerative changes which usually come with age. it was prevF oubly thought to afflict only those over 40 years of age. Recently, \ however, this type of heart disease is showing up frequently among young people in - their 20’s and. 30’s. • In coronary heart disease, circulation to the heart is cut dowa by 1 the formation-of a clot in one of the artieries. In such cases, the heart is always weakened and, where the obstruction is complete, it is damaged and a typical heart attack occurs. This -event is characterized by severe pain of a griping, vfee-Mke nature under, the breast bone, and the patient may go into shock. A group of 50 young persons suffering with coroaary heart disease was studied. The youngest “ patient in this group was 21 years of age-, and 11 of, the 50 patients were in their 2(Fs. More than -5 of the cases were in persona under 32 years of age. ' It Was interestingfeto note that not one of these patients was a female, showing that coronary heart disease \in young women is very rare. - All of the young persons suf- ' sering from this disease were ru very good physical condition, and usually were somewhat overweight. There was no history of any previous heart ailments in any o f the patients studied. *lt was also shown that young people swaged in heavy labor

Their Substance, however, cannbt be preserved by any such device, The ideas and principles ' ♦ 7 3’’ Which are the Declaration and the .dbnstitution can be saved only by being exposed constantly to li&hf and air, by being kept out in the open where they can be examined and reexamined, handled and used, attacked and defended. It is well and good to protect these precious papers, to keep then* where they may only be \ looked at, like the most treasured pieces of family china, high and ’ safe behind the glass doors of tbe dining room cupboard. But tKe body of principles and beliefs must be kept closer to us, like the •;.S fahiillar pieces depended on for daily use, always put within instant reach. ■ o o Rumors:— (G. E. Works News) Rumors that the Red Cross charges for blood furnished to patients in hospitals are seriously hampering the employee donor recruitment program, now underway in the Fort Wayne Works, according to reports received in thd Fort Wayne Regional Blood Center. ’ Gfohtrary to . these unfounded rumors, blood supplied by the Red i Cress is given patients free of charge. The only cost is the fee which the hospital or doctor charges for administration of the blood —usually about 36 a pint. j Sometimes, for some reason, patients prefer io utilize the serv- , Keh of a professional donor in place of Red Cross blood. In these cases, there is usually a 325 a pint charge f° r blood, J Let’s get it straight and stop these rumors. The Red Cross, makes no charge for the blood it furnishes. As employees eager to ‘.help in thia nation-wide effort to save liveh and help others, we should . tarn in our volunteer donor cards to j)ur foremeg’ or supervisors now- ' - . ' IF :• V i ■ • : .

It' ‘ \ ’* ' are:-more prone to attacks of cornar, heart disease. 1 llis disease in a young person Is an extremely serious eondtion. 7'hs mortality is usually 80 percen| with the first attack. It is Mlllved some that many cases of sudden death in yoUng indivlddals may be due to coronary bha|t disease. '■ ill older individuals, coronary 'hbvt disease is many times preceded •by angina pectori>. Howevdjt, in only one case in this ypqtiger group did angina pectoris precede the coronary attack. ■ 1U view oA the seriousness of this; condition and the fact that -disorder does occur with some frequency in young individuals, it is important that severe Chest pain not be overlooked. If severe chest pain does occur ■ ip M young individual, he should put to bed immediately, given Oxygen, blood vessel dilating drugs lor the heart, and such pain-relieving drugs as are necessity. He should be treated as a person with coronary heart disease until such time as the diagnosis can be proved or disproved. QUESTIONS AMD ANSWERS B&B.: What is amblyopia of the efet Is there any cure for it? ■ Afaswer: Amblyopia is a sudden dimness of vision due to degeneration of the nerves of the eye. it may be due to the taking of certain drugs and stimulants. , However, there ; may be no organic • reason for this condition- The treatment depends upon the i cause. It is advisable to consult an > eye specialist concerning this r cGhditmu __ . :

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN J HARRISON BLAYDE was grateful for the business emergency that called him to South Carolina late tn October. From the hour that the Garden Hill house was deeded to Games, living had been an unrelenting strain and an increase of tension. Eden, retreating into stony martyrdom, had made every move a difficulty and every hardship an added burden to Harrison’s already crushed and suffering conscience. Deliberately, against his protests, she had sold things she prized, making of the gesture a kind of frenzied flagellation ofdier»elf before bis eyes. ■ \ Two days before he was due to leave tor the south, Harrison spent Sunday with bis family. The hotel room was litered with Sunday paper*. Deke was sprawled on the floor with the funnies. They had eaten a dispirited dinner, halfwarm chicken with flavorless vegetables followed by sad blobs of tee cream drowned in chocolate sauce. The coffee was weak, the water warm. Anne was listless, and as soon as they returned from dinner she curled up on her bed with a book and promptly went to sleepy Harrison sat in a rigid chair, of that breed found only in hotels, leaving the armchair with the one lamp for Eden. She brought some knitting and became silently absorbed in It. The room grew very still except for Deke’s grunts and rattling* _ > : \ "Heck!” the boy exclaimed presently. "This place is like a funeral. Let’s go somewhere. Pop.” •All right." Harrison put aside; the paper he had been reading abstractedly and with little comprehension. “The car’s outside. We’ll all go. The country ought to be pretty righty now. Put down that knitting. Mother. Wake Anne up, Deke." , : “You all go; Td t rather stay here," Eden said tonelessly. Anne sat up, pushing back her rumpled hair. “I don’t feel like going out —really 1 don’t. Dad," she said. L “I’m not going,” Eden announced very firmly. W “Aw, gee gosh!" Deke shouted. "You women make me sick. Come on. Pop, levs go and leave ’em to mope around all over the place." “What’s the matter with Anne, Deke?" Harrison asked when he and the boy had driven a little way out of town. “Is she sick ?" “Naw, she ain’t sick! You wants Know what’s the matter with her? She’s in love?" v v “Well, she’s eighteen now. Time fpr that to begin. Who is it-— some football captain or other?" “No. it ain’t. It’s an old man—almost as old as you. It’s that Jim Eliot.” • rL Harrison missed a bus by the

fraction of an inch. “Jim Eliot “Yeah, ever hear of anything so corny? She’s been crazy about him a, long time—ever since he sold our house. Then after we moved down to the hotel, she found out he was living there. So every mght she goes drifting down to the lobby, all dreamy, and wanders around waiting to see Mtn. Last night he told her he was go-; ing to church today—anyway, I reckon he told her, for she got up early and got all dressed up and made me go too—-only we didn’t go-" “Why not?” “Well, just when we get almost to the church door, who do we see but ole man Eliot beauing Aunt Laura into church! So Anne says she feels sick and let’s go home, and she’s been moping around ever since. She was crying in my room and 1 asked her what was busted, and she almost snapped my "'head off. Can you imagine—an old man like that?"; “Eliot isn’t so old Deke.” A sick distress was tightening in Harrison’s stomach. Eliot had seemed a decent chap—but a married man and his little Anne! “Let’s get some ice cream and go back, Deke,” he said. “Let’s see if we Can’t pep the gals up a little." Eden was apathetic when Harrison announced his plan to be away for a week. Anne gave him a quick, unhappy look, then evaded his eye* She was pale and quiet, helped Harrison pack the clothes he would need, told him good-by when he left for the plant without any display of emotion. “1 left a check on the dresser and I’ll pay the hotel bill before I leave,” he said. “Hold things steady, Anne. And you behave yourself. Mister. Don’t worry your mother. Good-by,,Edie.” Their kiss, a cold, dutiful peck, made Anne’s mouth twist and she looked away. It was nine o’clock on Tuesday before he got away from the plant. His car stood in the yard, a thin drift of sawdust on the windshield. He wiped it away, then opened the rear door to put his grip in and jumped back, dropping the suitcase, . H “What, the devil!” he exclaimed. Anne uncurled berself from the floor in front of the rear scat. Her face was white, her eyes were defiant. Tm going with you! And don’t say I can’t go because I’m going.’ 1 “How’d you get here?" he demanded. “Walked. I sneaked a bag out last night while Mother and Deke were at the movies. , I mailed Mother a note this morning. She’ll get it this, afternoon. 1 told Habersham at school that I had go with you because yOu weren’t very well and we were worried about your ne:--.rt.”

"What do you know about Jim Eliot?” she asked cautiously. “I: know that he’s a married man." Suddenly he was angry. “Had he been making passes at you?” > “Jim Eliot —don’t be silly! He's so proper he creaks. Every time\ I I’ve been with him he’s acted like a nice old uncle." “But you fell tn love with him anyway... because he was a big hero with MacArthur!” “Hp. not because of that at all." She sighed heavily again. “I guess I fell just because I was a droopy idiot. I did ask him to bring us home that night when Ramsay was getting nasty and poor Ellen Fowler was scared to death," "Ellen Fowler should have been an adequate chaperone." “Oh, she's so inhibited. Dad, she’s scared to* death. But then Mother saw me talking to Jim downstairs the other night, and now She’s sure people are going to be gabbing. And then she ! blamed Aunt Laura, but let’s don't talk about It now." i "Anne, you do know that ( Eliot has a wife, I suppose." “Ties, I know. But they’ve been separated for years, he said. She won’t get ,a divorce. Anyway It isn’t as though I were going to marry Jim Eliot. That’s hopeless, I know;* I' ’ “AnnO, I’m not upholding you In any of this —not in Seeing Eliot, when it displeases your moCh«r, nor this sneaky business of telling ' lies to the principal.” “Ifreyer I marry a man," Anne said grimly, “I’ll go with him all the way! I won’t be a quitter, feel sorry for myself and make people miserable when things get tough. I wish you’d let me get a job, Dad. Why couldn’t I go out with you? . I could help Miss Wilkerson in the office —” 1 “Willey doesn’t need any help. And Tm not broke yet. I’m not heading into bankruptcy.

CH AFT ER NINETEEN “I'M HAPPY wfcen Tn» with you.” Anne snuggled close la ner father as they drove oft on the trip to South Carolina. The croWw if ner yellow neaa lay against cus shoulder, and Harrison looked down at ner, a weak wave at adoration and apprehension shaking nun. He’d had t the suspicion tor weeks that Eden \ was jealous of Laura. He nad tad hunsett scornfully that he nad no grounds at all: then he nad been a trifle uncertain and uneasy about himself. How was a man to know which way lay sanity and security? He nad wished for a noiy nil! where he could stand with his son and feel nim sate: now he desired that mythical asylum more than ever, an oasis, a resting place tor gold-en-naired Anne, where the unpredictable and greedy tide of social ambition could not assail her. ■ As a last resort he could threaten to go into bankruptcy, and with some of the taore obdurate and contentious ae aatf to resert to thia threat, MtUe a* he liked n. By Saturday he was fagged, servestrung and still uncertain of the outcome- He collected Anno and headed eastward, A cotton mill loomed « the left, myriad windows burning blue. -What’s thia town?
