For black adults in Ameri ca, the proportion is much higher—as many as one in three according to some studies. High blood pressure is aptly known as the “silent killer,” because its. symp toms are often not obvious to the individual. Nonethe less, high blood pressure is the most common chronic disease treated by physicians in the black community. It is ten times more likely to cause fatal strokes, heart disease or kidney disease than it is among middle-aged whites. Heart specialists at the Squibb Institute for Medi cal Research recommend that black men and women over 40 should have their blood pressure checked, once a year, particularly if there is a family history of high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack or kidney di sease, or if the individual has frequent headaches or dizziness, which might indi cate the presence of high blood pressure. High blood pressure, once diagnosed, can be controlled Of HEALTH through exercise, diet or daily medication, as pre scribed by a physician. Cases of severe high blood pressure that have not re sponded to existing multi- A new weapon has been de vised to combat the "silent killer" of a large number of mlnority-group Americans. drug therapies may now be treated by doctors with a drug called Capoten , a compound developed at The Squibb Institute. Adminis tered orally, it is a new weapon with which the phy sician can help patients fight “the silent killer.” Capoten is not a cure, and like previous drugs to treat high blood pressure it must be taken regularly to do its unique work proper ly. But it is considered a giant step forward in con trolling hypertension, partic ularly for long-term treat ment of severe cases. HELP WANTED: THE PEACE CORPS Good news for minorities is that the Peace Corps, now celebrating its twentieth year, has launched a nation wide recruitment effort tar geting minority Americans to meet a goal of increased participation. Prompted by recent glob al statistics which indicate that one quarter of the world’s pop,ulation — four billion people—live out their lives in a state of per vasive poverty, the Peace Corps has assumed a pivotal role in calling for aggressive involvement by U.S. citizens in its recruitment campaign. The Peace Corps is the only U.S. agency which assigns its people to live and work among communities at the level of local workers in de veloping nations. Described as “practical idealists,” Peace Corps vol unteers work on fundamen tal, but vital projects in nearly 60 countries through out the world. Working alongside the people they hope to serve, these volun teer§ share in the daily struggles of the poor, hun gry and sick to help increase knowledge and skills, eco nomic development, income, housing, energy resources and community services. One recruitment special ist, when asked to describe the types of people the Peace Corps aims to attract commented, “We need peo ple with practical experience and a willingness to serve. While a college degree is preferable, it is not manda tory.” All volunteers receive eight to 12 weeks of inten sive training. During training, volun teers learn the language of the community they will serve, study the culture and its customs and develop bas ic skills in the areas of health, education and ener gy. Persons with skills in the areas of agriculture, math/ science, health, forestry, ar chitecture, and business ad ministration, are being re quested by the governments of developing nations to help alleviate the plight of the poor. Peace Corps volunteers, although non-salaried, re ceive a monthly living allow ance, comparable to the standards of living in the communities they will serve. Housing is oftentimes pro vided by the host govern ment, while the allowance is furnished primarily to cover the costs of food, clothing and basic needs. In addition, volunteers receive a re-adjustment pay ment of $125 for each month of service upon their return to the U.S. —usually after two years. Many vol unteers however, elect to extend their service. The benefits, say some returned volunteers, are not measurable in financial gain, but in experience, adaptable to almost any career. The Peace Corps has a toll free number for persons inter ested in volunteer service.
