Dallas and Doris Anglin I We’ve been doing our job. Taking care of the emergency needs of disaster victims round the clock and round the country is the job of the American Red Cross. July to September was the most turbulent American disaster period in recent history. Hurricanes David and Frederic, Tropical Storm Claudette, tornadoes, floods, and fires. Nearly half i million people were given emergency help—food, shelter, clothing, health services. The cost, over $23,000,000, wiped out the year’s disaster budget plus $7,000,000 in reserves. We face the balance of this \vear until June 30 millions of /dollars short .of disaster relief funds. The Red Cross now needs the solid support of American business for its $13,000,000 Emergency Disaster Campaign . . . dollars needed so that we can continue to do our job of giving emergency aid to disaster victims. A severe winter, spring floods, and tornadoes are ahead. HELP KEEP RED CROSS READY. Support the emergency disaster campaign in your community and in your business. " Anrekwn Red Cross

No substitute for natural fight

There has been much talk over the past several yeari about the health hazards of too much sun—that is, sunburn and skin cancer. What has been overlooked is the other extreme—lack of light. Urban living has brought on new- problems. More and more we live inside, work inside, play inside. We live our lives almost completely shut off from an element as vital as air and water to healthful existance and growth. Scientists and health authorities are worried about the natural light that many people are not getting. Unlike our grandparents, in most cases, we do not need to get outside to carry out our normal day to day activities. We do not live by natural light as did people prior to the invention of the electric light. We practically exist in a vacuum of artificial light that starts in the home, continues to our place of work, and even is present in our big new emporiums of entertainment. Many modern office buildings nowadays don’t even have windows, and the super sports’ domes are all enclosed. Scientists have recognized for a long time the subtle effects of light on our lives. And doctors know that extreme deprivation of sunlight can have a major effect on health. For example, the cure for rickets a disease that widely crippled children during the 18th and 19th century, is sunlight. It was learned that because of the pollution of the industrial Revolution, the sun was blocked ini the narrow streets of Europe. Without sunlight, there was no calciferol in the bones, and the bones became soft. Today ultra-violet radiation and Vitamin D enrichment of milk has helped eliminate rickets as ah epidemic health problem. The psychological effects of light are used dramati-

SAYING HEALTHY

The Healthy Heart Test The world’s longest-running large-scale investigation into the causes of heart-related diseases — the famous Framingham study — pinpointed six controllable factors that affect your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. They are: smoking, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol level, physical activity, and stress and tension. Shown here is a self-scoring test to determine your degree of risk, based on your life style and physical characteristics. It’s from >• new book, “The Healthy Heart”, ($12.95) to be published by Time-Life Books on April 1. To use the test, find the number that fits your life style or physical makeup in each category. (You may have to ask your doctor for your cholesterol level and your blood pressure.) Then, at the end of the chart, add your numbers to gauge your total risk.

Risk Factor Your Score (Circle) Smoking 0 Nonsmoker 2 Less than 20 cigarettes pwrdax, 4 One pack or more a day Weight 0 Desirable for your height 2 Up to 10% over 4 More than 10% over Systolic 0 Less than 120 Blood 2 120 to 140 Pressure 4 Over 140 Cholesterol 0 Less than 150 Level 2 150 to 250 4 Over 250

Unlike age, sex, race and heredity — factors that also affect risk but cannot be modified — the factors listed here are all within your control. If the score shows an average or above - average risk, most physicians recommend a program of diet, exercise or medication. The best programs deal with all six categories.

cally by set designers and decorators. But in recent years, psychologists have also noted reactions from light which have a physical effect—for example, extreme use of red light increases blood pressure and respiration, ss Doctors of chiropractic, who are physicians that practice a natural method of healing which acknowledges that the nervous system directly or indirectly influences organic systems and physiological functions have long recognized the benefits of phototherapy. They have used it, along with spinal adjustment and nutrition, as a means to bring the efficiency level of the body to a point where it can meet the demands of environmental stress. In assessing the factors which influence health in modern living, the American Chiropractic Association has drawn the conclusion that there is no substitute for natural light. Life-science studies indicate that the average person in an urban area today is getting much less than his requirement of natural light and fresh air for healthful existance. Its effect is a kind of insideous suffociation and loss of disease-fighting body qualities. It is important that the average person make a concerted effort to get outside during the daylight hours. For the average worker who arrives at the office or plant early and leaves near dusk, it may require a walk outside during the lunch period. And for most people, it will require greater interest in outside activities oh week-ends.
