art donated to Johnson C. Smith by NCNB through the
Company -College Gifts-In-Kind Clearing House.
“It’s really rare that we have
excess art to give away,” Craddock
said. “In this case, we had just been
going through our art inventory and
had been doing renovation that left
some of our art without a place to be
displayed. We were faced with stor

ing it away where no one could see it
or enjoy it for a long time.
“When they came by to talk about
the Gearing House, it struck me that
donating the art would be a way of
simultaneously meeting the needs of
two organizations and ensuring that
it would continue to be viewed and
appreciated.”

about two years ago at Davidson

known companies have used it to
donate surplus and outdated equip

materials.
‘‘We are very pleased with
NCNB’s gift to Johnson C. Smith,”
said Herring, executive director of
the Clearing House. "It’s a good
example of how our program works.
We enable our members to receive
many items they might not normally
receive. But we also provide an
important service to companies by
helping them get rid of their sur
plus and obsolete items and by
giving them a good opportunity for a
tax deduction.”
Caldwell says Johnson C. Smith
look* forward, to receiving more
donations through the Gearing
House, and Craddock says NCNB
plans to use the Gearing House for
other gifts in the future.

Duke Recruits Subjects
For Exercise Study
By Charles Blackburn
Duke Medical Center
Special To The Post
Durham - For decades doctors
have urged their patients to ex
ercise regularly as a defense against
heart disease, but it’s still not known
exactly how exercise protects the
body against the nation’s number
one killer"
In a new study at Duke Uni
versity Medical Center, researchers
hope to determine if that element of
protection is due to biochemical and
psychological changes that counter
act the unhealthy effects of the Type
A personality.
‘‘The study is designed to test the
hypothesis that a program of re
gular exercise will help people han
dle stress better and thereby re
duce thete-ehanees of developing_
heart disease or of having a second
heart attack," according to Dr.
James Blumenthal, assistant pro
fessor of medical psychology at
Duke
In the 25 years since the term was
coined, Type A has come to refer to
anyone who is chronically on edge.
Type A's are highly competitive and
ambitious, speak rapidly and inter
rupt others often, are easily an
gered and generally hostile. They
seem unable to sit back and relax,
and this constant state of vigilance
seems to have some dire physio
logical consequences.
“It’s estimated that at least half of
- the men in the United States fail into
the category of Type A behavior,”
Blumenthal said. "Not all Type A’s
develop heart disease In fact, many
remain perfectly healthy, indicat
ing that a number of factors are
probably involved in the disease
process, including heredity.
“But as a group, Type A’s have
increased mortality rates and high
er than average rate of coronary
disease and high blood pres
sure The evidence strongly sug
gests that one's attitude toward life
carTtake a 'severe toll on physical
health
According to Blumenthal, studies
have shown that under stress Type
A’s produce higher levels of cer
tain hormones than their more re
laxed counterparts Ordinarily, the
hormones — cortisol, adrenaline and
noradrenalin - give the body, a
physiological boost in times of stress
bv releasing fat from the body's
stores to be converted into energy
— “One theory is that over limp thf
fact can build up in coronary ar
teries," Blumenthal said “The
formation of fatty plaques is the
hallmark of coronary disease."
He noted that Type A men also
tend to produce more testosterone,
the male sex hormone that has been
linked to aggressive behavior Ex
ercise training may reduce the
amount of these hormonal sub
stances that are secreted during
stress.
The Duke researchers hope to
recruit at least 60 cardiac patients
who have had a heart attack with
in the past six months They will be
asked to participate in DUPAC,
Duke University’s Preventive Ap
proach to Cardiovascular disease, a
closely supervised exercise pro
gram for cardiac rehabilitation and
prevention
