Leon “Heiny” Gask. soft of Mrs. E. F. Gass, was operated on yesterday morning at the Memorial how pital in Ums, O. His conditio* U regarded as serious.--Homemaking Tip* Miss Bertha Laudig Home Demonstration Agent American heart association officials believe that the public’s tar talistic attitude toward heart disease is being discarded, T. A. Kleekner, Indianapolis, Indiana heart foundation executive director said this month. Kleekner met with American heart association leaders from New York, including Dr. John W. Ferree, director of community service and education, former Indiana health commissioner; Dr. Arthur 8. Caln, assistant medical director and Dr. Frederick A. Whitehouse, rehabilitation consultant, in Lafayette to discuss expansion of heart research at Purdue University. ' He said that the American heart association leaders believe that the public’s new hope Is due to heart research which is resulting in the discovery of new drags, new forms of surgery and improved methods of treatment which are saving the lives of many patients whose cases would have been hopeless in previous years. "Heart disease caused almost 800 thousand deaths in the United States last year and it was responsible for more than 15,000 deaths in Indiana”, Kleekner said. “But already the death rate is beginning to drop, thanks to the control of rheumatic fever and treatment of congenital heart disease,” he said. "Very dramatic progress in the last few years has been achieved in the field of heart surgery. Various defects of the heart, such aa those in ‘blue babies’, now can be wholly or partially corrected,” Kleekner declared. “Operating- inside the beating heart, surgeons often can repair heart valves dangerously scarred or narrowed by rheumatic fever,” he said. '■ American heart association officials declare that the risk of dying from heart disease has been reduced for persons under 24 by 70 percent aod»for those between 24 and 44, the risk has been cut 35 percent. “Drugs now help a person live with high blood pressure, ** Kleekner said, and progress has been made in diagnosing and treating heart attacks caused by blood clots. “Initial attacks of rheumatic fever, often the forerunner of rheumatic heart diseases, can no* be prevented by knocking out "strep” infections with antibiotics, and recurrent attacks of rheumatic teeer can be stopped by treatment with antibiotics,” he added. Kleckner said public subscription to the heart fund, which brought in *286,Q<TO..from residents of Indiana, help pay for the heart research program.

Frozen Bread May Ease One Problem Downward Trend In Wheat Consumption WASHINGTON (INS) —Froxen bread may help the agriculture department solve one of its knottiest problems — the long-term downward trend in wheat consumption. Department researchers say that bakeries using this technique could offer bread at cheaper prices by cutting down on losses from unsold loaves and reducing the need for costly night baking. Cheaper bread, in turn, would step up wheat consumption, which has been dwindling steadily over the past decades. An article in a recent Issue of the department's “Agricultural Research” magazine stresses the need for more technical information in the light of rising commercial interest in freezing methods. Findings show that air velocity and position of the loaf in the air stream, for example, are the most important factors in freezing unwrapped bread. For wrapped bread, the temperature level itself is more important Bread, the article continues, is best when it is frozen as rapidly as possible as soon as it leaves the oven. Qutck jlefrostlng is also preferred. The freezing time affects crumb firmness more than the defrosting time does. Frozen bread should always be stored separately from strongly flavored materials, the article adds. The maximum storage temperature for top quality bread is said to be 10 degrees fahrenheit for short periods (about a week) and zero degrees for extended storage. Firming of the crumb continues slowly at temperatures just below freezing. . . Researchers have found that thawed bread, placed on grocers’ shelves or kept in the home, will not. firm up faster than unfrozen bread —provided the freezing and thawing have been conducted properly. Moisture distribution in frozen bread, the article points out, is essentially the same as tn freshly baked bread, and the distribution will remain that way for four to sevetf weeks at zero degrees. Neither freezing nor defrosting appears to cause moisture to shift around in the loaf! Likewise, defrosting by microwave energy — where the, inner parts of the loaf defrost as rapidly as the outer parts—causes no significant change in the moisture distribution in bread frozen when fresh from the oven.
