thought he knew what fanners want and need. He said the Republicans had attempted to soften their demand for ‘‘prompt and final termination of the farm subsidy program” by telling farmers nothing would be done to bring disaster on them. “I guess they think disaster is better if it comes by degrees —or in small doses.” he said. “Disaster is exactly what their positions would bring to farmers.”
sters say,” he said. “I don’t | even care what Governor Sanj ders says. We are going to win | in Georgia. For once the peo- ; pie are going to have what! they want.” Gov. Caxl Sanders, whose home town is Augusta, is a solid supporter of President Johnson and has predicted the state will follow its traditional pattern of voting Democratic in presidential elections.

reading so important in a general physical examination? A: To the physician, the blood pressure reading indicates important Information about the patient’s heart, kidneys, blood vessels and circulation. Q: What is the meaning of the two numbers in the blood pressure read-
ing?
A: The first, or higher number, is called the systolic blood pressure. The second, or lower Dr. Coleman number, is called the diastolic blood pressure. The higher number indicates the pressure under which the heart is pumping blood into the vessels. The lower number indicates the blood pressure in the blood vessels in the intervals between heart beats. Q: Which of the two numbers Is considered more important? A: Contrary to the common Impression, the diastolic, or lower number is the more important figure because it is a more reliable and accurate index of the pressure in the circulatory system. The systolic, or higher number is, of course, important, too. It has a tendency to fluctuate during periods of emotional •tress, and with change of posi-
tion.
Even an examination for insurance, performed by a strange doctor, can sometimes produce a temporary elevation of the systolic blood pressure. Therefore, it would not represent the true condition of the patient's blood pressure. It is for this reason that the
usually repeated after a period of rest and reassurance. Q: What is considered normal blood pressure readings? A: There is no validity to the impression that normal blood pressure should be “100 plus the age of the patient.” The age, the body stucture, the weight and height, and even the ethnic background and geographic area all influence the “normal” blood pressure for each individual. Q: What are the causes of high blood pressure? A: High blood pressure, or hypertension, Is not a disease in itself. It is a symptom of an abnormal body condition. Diseases of the heart, arteriosclerotic changes in the blood vessels, disturbances of the hormone secretions of the thyroid and adrenal glands, and chronic infections of the kidneys are some of the possible causes of high blood pressure. Q: Why do doctors so often hesitate to tell the patient the exact readings? A: Because these numbers often induce unnecessary fears in patients. The reassurance that the physician offers is far more important than the knowledge of the exact numbers. With modern drugs and a rigid dietary regime, under a doctor's regular guidance and treament of the underlying cause, patients with high blood pressure can now look forward to a longer, happier, more pro-
ductive life.
