‘Why Risk Heart Attack?’
Until recently there seem
ed to be little that anyone
could do but hope that heart
attack would pass by his
family. Now there is new
hope. As the result of
scientific studies there is
evidence that the risk of heart
attack is greater for people
with particular life-styles. So
if we avoid those things which
contribute greatly to heart
attack, the odds against it are
much more in our favor.
What are these risk factors
in our lives? The North
Carolina Heart Association is
sending free of charge to
anyone who requests it, a
pamphlet called .“Why Risk
Heart Attack?” In this pam
phlet, the risks that can be
changed are outlined. These
are cholesterol and saturated
fat in the diet, being
overweight, high blood pres
sure, smoking, and lack of
exercise. More recently,
stress has been identified as a
strong possible risk factor.
If people cut down on the
number of eggs they eat (high
in cholesterol) and on fatty
meats, cut out the saturated
shortenings and substitute
polyunsaturated cooking oil
and margarine, they will be
reducing their risks. They’ll
be doing even more for the
children in the family. Our
eating habits are established
in our early years. If the
children are started on diets
with less fat and less
cholesterol, their chances are
much better to avoid heart
disease.
The same is true of being
overweight. If the parents set
the example, and the calories
are watched, if foods that are

Presenting a Presentable Bathroom
If there’s one room in the
house that could qualify for
Federal disaster aid money
before breakfast, it’s the bath
room. You can’t hide it from
your friends; they won’t re
member your new living room
furniture after finding hair
strands around your bathtub
drain.
Don’t Put It Off—Cleaning
this room, as with all others,
is a matter of initiative. The
best time is right after every
one is through showering. You
can clean the steaming tile,
glass, and mirror with the
sweep of a cloth.
Special clean-up problems
require innovative responses.
Grout, which forms around
faucets and tubs, can be rooted
out by using a toothbrush
dipped in bleach. Pencil eras
ers are good for more than
paper; you can use them to
remove rust spots from for
mica and ceramic tile. Rubber
bath mats should be scrubbed
with a damp steel wool pad
and washed in a washing ma
chine on a delicate cycle. Did
you ever try boiling a shower
head clean in a pan of vine
gar? Chalk it up as a new way
of handling a gritty problem.

Mr. and Mrs. Nembra Ben Styles will celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary February 27,
1977 at their home in Burnsville, N.C. Mr. and Mrs. Styles have six children—William Henry

Burnsville. They have nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
not as rich and fattening are
on the table, the children will
tend to grow up within a more
normal weight range. Over
weight children usually grow
up to be overweight adults.
People who quit smoking
reduce their risk almost to the
level of someone who has
never smoked. Children of
non-smokers tend to be
non-smokers.
High blood pressure is
something that in almost
every case can be controlled.
High blood pressure, or high
blood, as it is sometimes
called, is one of the biggest
risk factors. With proper
medicine and following the
doctor’s orders, it can be
brought down and kept under
control.
Lack of exercise is another
risk. Your doctor can tell you

Elderly Protected
[Cont'd from page 1]
874,000 adults in North
Carolina could be considered
our state’s population at risk.
North Carolina’s Report
ing Law for Abused, Neglec
ted or Exploited Adults
became effective on January
1, 1976. Ward indicated that
with the need for a consistent
reporting mechanism not re
quired in the law it is difficult
to project how many reports
are being made to the county
social services departments
across the state. Informal
surveys indicate, however,
that approximately 1,000 per
month are currently being
made.
The report should be made
to the county director of social
services either orally or in
writing and anyone who
makes such a report shall be
immune from any civil or
criminal liability unless they
1 acted in bad faith or with a
malicious purpose.
