WHISTLE Copyright 1953, Marshall Field & Company Issued Every Two Weeks By and For the Employees of Fieldcrest Mills, Divi sion of Marshall Field & Company, Inc., Spray, North Carolina OTIS MARLOWE Editor Vol. XI Monday, June 8, 1953 No. 22 li^WheseDa^ Seek, ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33. Heart Facts Your heart is only as big as your fist, but most of its bulk is muscle. It has just one job — to pump out into the arteries the blood returned to it by the veins. All the millions of cells in the body depend upon the rapidly circu lating blood stream for the necessities of life and the removal of wastes. The Drain in particular must have a continuous supply of fresh oxygen. Since the brain runs the body, death comes within seconds — at most a very few minutes — after the heart stops beating. . The amount of blood in your body is comparatively small — it makes up only about 8 percent of your body weight. But to keep that blood in circulation, through miles of blood vessels during an ordinary day of work, play, and rest, the healthy heart pumps from 9 to 10 tons of blood at an average daily rate of 70 strokes per minute. The normal pumping action of the healthy heart is a continuous series of regular contractions and relaxations— Ijeat — rest, beat — rest, beat — rest, and so on for about 2 1/2 billion times, if the pumping continues for 70 years. When you are “taking it easy,” your heart takes it easy. It then rests nearly twice as much as it works. But durmg periods of exceptional physical exerti.on or emotional stress it may beat twice as fast as usual and pump out twice as much blood. The faster the heart beats, the harder it works and the less time it has to rest. On this important fact is based much -of the medical advice we are given re garding the protection of the middle- aged healthy heart and the care of the sick heart. Buy . . . Sell . . .
