J Climate Affects Heart

By HERMAN N. BUNBESEN, M.B. EXTREMES of temperature •nd climate can bring on coronary heart attacks Other illnesses, too. will vary with the warmth or chill of the surround - Ings in which we find ourselves, la Northern Staus * In the northern part Os the United States, the number of coronary heart attacks, due to the formation of a blood clot In the arteries supplying the heart, decreases during the summer • months. This type of heart attack is much more frequent during the winter months tn the north. Various reasons have been suggested to explain this phenomenon. For one thing, there art more infections, such as colds, at that time of year, perhaps making the body more generally susceptible to the attacks.

Its founder was convinced that there are no bad boys. Although he is dead those who carry on his work perpetuate that belief. In a recent interview, Boys Town officials said that the antidotes to juvenile delinquency are trust, a chance at accomplishment and an opportunity to earn re- < spect. The boys who come to the school are not saints. Many of them come front broken homes, homes with poor environment, homes where love and warmth are lacking. But the treatment they receive lets them know that they are expected to be honest. They are taught skills and given the opportunity to excell at sports, academic subjects, trades or Oth- . er endeavors. They leave as good citizens. - Very often It is the desire for recognftion that turns a youngster into a delinquent. He steals because he wants to be one of the gang.- He picks up the attitudes toward law that his gang holds and won't deviate because he doesn't want to be different. By providing youngsters with the chance to accomplish something worthwhile and wholesome this: problem is eliminated. That’s all most of them ever need.

In the southern states or warm climates, It was found that coronary attacks showed their highest frequency during the extremely hot months of July and August. Thus, very hot or warm weather can also be an Important factor in coronary heart attacks because of the difficulty the body has in adjusting to preserve a constant body tempeuiture. The body goes through considerable strain which may act as a factor tn causing the attack.

And maybe you’d better see this, too.” 1 got out the letter Grodnik bad persuaded his superintendent to write for me. Then I sat back and waited for Grenier to read IL Russell stepped wanly around the desk, and his curiosity was too great to keep him from reading the letter over Grenier’s shoulder. When they both finished, Grenier shoved back my wallet and slid tn* letter tato Its envelope. "What do you think, Russell?” he asked. •There's another point,” 1 went on quickly. “Maybe you two have been too busy to notice, but I’m slightly crippled. 1 can use my right arm, but it will be several months before the left is any good.

Stewart did that. He shot me in the shoulder.” Grenier smiled. He held out my letter with a graceful flourish. “Os course 1 couldn't possibly countenance the carrying ot firearms on this vessel." he said. “But we don’t search passengers Everyone nere is on holiday. I shudder to think what we’d find if we went looking.” We all chuckled at that and Grenier said: “You will, ot course, be as circumspect as possible, Mr. Wilde. And 1 shall expect'you to notify me or Russell before you tai. j any drastic action.” 1 agreed to that with no argument. “Now about this Miss Pomeroy,” I said. “I've been wondering whether she could have known ahead of time that the reservation was going to be cancelled and waiting for her. Just maybe it could have been framed that way by Stewart.” Grenier said, “Russell, see if the telephone is still connected.” Russell snatched the phone and just at that moment the big river boat shuddered and started backing into the current “That’s it,” Grenier said with resignation. “No contact with the shore until we reach Louisville tomorrow morning.

Eric Johnston Sees No ; Israel-Arab Warfare

By PIKRRfe J. HUB* (World Copyright, 1954) (By International News Service) UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (INS) —Eric Johnston said today after his latest trip to the Middle East for President Eisenhower that in his opinion the Palestine armistice, through shaky, will prevent an outbreak of war between Israel and the Arabs. Johnston, acting as President Eisenhower’s special White House emissary to win Arab-Jewish cooperation in developing a Middle East "TVA” by harnessing the Jordan River and transforming arid land into productive farms, has Just completed his third trip to Palestine. He grappled with what has been called “an impossible task” by personally negotiating with and trying to win over the key leaders of the nations directly concerned with the Jordan Valley “TVA” project — Lebanon, Syria. Jordan and Israel. His third trip was fruitful; his next is hoped to be a decisive one. Johnston in an exclusive question and answer interview with this correspondent, canvassed the outlook for President Eisenhower’s peace project." The questions and answers follow: j Q. On the basis of your recent discussions, what real possibilities do you see for outracing the shaky armistice situation with a workable scheme for developing the Jordan Valley? A. I think the chances are very good. First of all, while the armistice situation is admittedly shaky, I personally believe that the statesmen of both the Arab nations and Israel are determined to exercise restraint. They seemed to me to be fully conscious of the immense responsibility which rests upon them, not merely for local peace but for world peace. So If your question implies that the armistices may break down with resulting open hostilities. I do not agree that this is likely—possibly, yea. but not likely. Therefore I think there is every chance that we shall be able to get something going in the Jordan Valley despite the tensions which exist. Q. Did your recent Palestine visit actually result in a percepi tible advance toward common ground where the spokesmen for Israel and Jordan, for example, sat down together or indicated such a possibility? A. No, it did not. We havte not asked them to get together, and I have no intention of doing so. In the tense political atmosphere which still pervades the area, 1 just don't think it possible to persuade the Arab countries to sit down to a conference table with

Israel. We are therefore dealing with them separately—the Arab 'countries on one hand and Israel on the other. ..■■• 'Q, To what extent did you sense or become aware of Soviet meddling or pressure in the Arab states or Israel against any enterprise stemming from American interest? A. That‘B a hard one to answer because Soviet meddling, as you know is the quiet, termite kind. Various people who ought to know told me that Communist influence was active in the region, but I can’t say that I ran headon Into it during the relatively short time I was there. We can only assume that the Soviet Union would be quick to react if such an opportunity arose. Remember that this area is about one hour’s bomber time from the Soviet Union; it is immensely rich in oil; it is the historic land bridge between Asia, Africa and Europe. Q. What area and which countries would benefit and be directly Involved in the Jordan Valley project? A. The whole historic valley of the River Jordan would benefit. Waters now flowing to waste in the Dead Sea would be used to develop electric power anti irrigate several hundred thousand acjes Os now barren land. Something like a hundred and fifty thousand people—including a large number of homeless Arab refugees from Palestine—could be given a solid livelihood in the valley if the project were carried out. Q. How is the project related to keeping peace in the Middle East? A. I’m glad you said ’’keeping’’ peace rather than “making" peace, because while we hope and believe that a sensible division of Ute Jordan's waters will help to prevent quarreling and conflict between the valley states, we certainly are not trying to use this development scheme to bring about a political peace between the three Arab countries and their neighbor, Israel. As you know, water is more precious than oil out there in one of the hottest, deepest valleys in the face of the earth, and even the best of friends, as our own western-state experience shows, will quarrel and fight over water. Q. Is the prestige of President ; Eisenhower in the coutriee you , dealt with more telling than the [ anti-American feeling and propaganda we are told prevails in the M fertile 'East?" *'*' o-''"-"' • A. I’m sure it is. Both the Arabs and Israelis seem to feel that the President meant what he said when he stated a policy of “impartial friendship” toward them both, On specific matters, of course.

WEDNESDAY, JULY W. 1*64

there is still resentment In one camp or the other. For example, Israel Is bitterly unhappy about American arms aid to Iraq. The Arab states on the other hand, are equally unhappy about the fact that Israel is still receiving more U. S. economic aid than they are. These things, however, just demonstrate the truth of Abe Lincoln’s remark that “You can’t please all the people alt of the time" and do not reflect any fundamental lack of confidence in our disposition to try to do the right thing by all concerned, Most of the people I talked with were responsible leaders in their own countries and they all assured me of their faith in the President’s intention to enforce his policy of impartiality. I might just add that the treatment I received as Mr. Eisenhower’s personal representative indicated the warmest friendliness and tfust in him. Happy Hustlers The Washington Happy Hustlers 4-H club held their seventh regu-, lar meeting July 2(J at the home of Anette Thomas. The meeting was called to order by the president.
