Goals: safe, neigborly city - Citizens Forum beginning ‘children improvement’ project
Citizenry discipline is the emphasis of Citizens Forum's "Improve the Citizenship of Children” project, underway as city schools begin new terms Tuesday. Pupils will be encouraged by teachers and outside class participation, to maintain a concern for home and neighborhood enhancement (such as cleaning sidewalks, curbs and raking leaves), and exemplifying patriotism by displaying the American Flag in their yards during appropiate ocassions. Project coordinators also announced, the Helping Hand Volunteer program of Citizens Forum, will be expanded state wide durine the “imorovement" program -courtesy of the Indiana State Police and Hooks Drug, Inc. The Helping Hand program is set up with volunteers in each school district aided by block representatives. who monitor property and protect children out on the streets. The “Improving Citizenship” project will reward participating schools, teachers and stu-
dents after completion of the project, with the school recording the first 100 percent enrollment in the program receiving a “special party.” All State Police districts were given tapeslide presentations by Hooks Drugs to provide more information about the goals of the project. The exhibits will be available to all parent-teacher groups, civic organizations and service clubs. According to project coordinator Elmo Coney and Marie Harmon, Helping Hand chairman, the “Improvement” project should go a long way towards making this city one of the cleanest, neighborly, and safest in the state. The project is said to have the endorsement of all law enforcement agencies. Once pupils have completed yard work and proper display of the flag, inspections will be conducted by teams of Helping Hand volunteers, who will certify the efforts through Citizens Forum verification slips at schools enrolled in the program. Helping Hand volunteers are encouraged to contact Citizens Forum at 923-5252.

Demo Hillenbrand as next governor?
For the first time since the early 60’s administration of Roger D. Branigan a Democrat is being prominently mentioned as “next governor of Indiana.” In this case it’s somewhat of a political novice, John A. Hillenbrand. a southern Indiana industralist-wealthy in his own right--who apparently owes no party favors. Hailing from Batesville, Hillenbrand is branded as neither an out-and-out liberal nor arch conservative. What has made him attractive to insiders is his continous talk of attracting more jobs to the state and healing the Demos’
fragmented image brought on by differences. Though he has worked extensively for the party, Hillenbrand has never held elective office, assuring him a tough fight for the 1980 election. Speculation is high, but a public announcement of the man’s active interest in the nomination has yet to be made public. Beating Hillenbrand to the punch in telling reporters, “he might,” was Anderson’s Democratic Mayor Robert L. Rock, lieutenant governor under Matthew E. Welch. Rock lost to Ed Whitcomb in a previous gubernatorial race.
Medical strides, public awareness reducing deaths from heart disease
Greater public awareness along with stepped up medical technology account partially for the dramatic drop in heart disease, the world’s number one killer, according to a local specialist. “In-hospital deaths of patients with acute heart attacks have been reduced by 30 percent as a result of the coronary care units,” says Dr. Charles Fisch, former president of the American College of Cardiology and chief of cardiology at Indiana University Medical Center. Dr. Fisch, also director of the Krannert Institute of Cardiology, says of such units which were developed only 15 years ago, “Difficulties can be spotted before they become serious by using monitoring devices and diagnostic procedures such as cardiac catheterization and echo-cardiography.” The specialist was reviewing figures showing that for the first time in more than a decade, heart disease deaths’ annual toll has dropped below the million mark. The figures, released by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, said the 30 percent drop has been registered since 1950 for cardiovascular disease which includes heart attacks, strokes, hardening of the arteries and other disease. CVD deaths dipped from 452 ner 100.000 in 1950 to 295 per 100,000 in 1976, the biggest reduction coming in the last 1U years. Another contributing factor, Dr. Fisch points out, is the awareness of risk factors-high Mood pressure, obesity, a family history of heart disease, diabetes, smoking and excessive cholesterol intake. “The American Heart Association, along with physicians and the government have led a vigorous effort over the last 30 years to educate and inform people about these risks,” he says. As evidence of this increase in awareness, patient visits to their doctors for high blood pressure have increased from 7.9 million in 1972 to 48.5 mObon in 1976, according to statistic compiled by the Na-
tional Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Also, awareness on the part of those who have high blood pressure increased from 56 percent to 1962 to 71 percent in 1974. That means, however, that 29 percent of the population have high blood pressure and don’t know it. Also given credit by Dr. Fisch were major surgical advances, the eradication of such heart infections as rheumatic fever with antibiotics and new drugs, especially those ..ich control high blood pressure.
