Blamedfor ' Not Omr-Wcim ear tills ManvU By ALTON L BLAKESUEK AP Science Reporter NEW YORK to - The old warn las to slow way down at 140 and quit exereiae is being- torpedoed by more and more medical experts. They calj exercise good medi cine for Ion life andVyour heart Otherwise, you're likely to rot to death,; ;, - The general warning to stop H vigorous exercise at 40 seems to me to be ridiculous and, more likely than not,- actually to lead to an increase . of coronary athero sclerosis" or hardening of the heart arteries, Dr. Paul D. White of Boston, a prominent heart ex pert, told the American Medical Association. ) Some whys and wherefores in support come strongly from Dr. Theodore G. Klumpp, tennis-playing president of a New York phar maceutical firm, Winthrop-Stearns, Ine. ; d -, i It's true -enough, he says, that heart disease is the leading killer bow xA Americans. Half Occur at Night. But heart experts find that half J of all heart attacks come during sleep. Only about 2 per cent come during severe exertion.' They get the publicity, and lead people to blame sports for causing heart at tacks j I, ' One of be biggest mistaken no tions Is that "heart attacks are due to hard work, exercise, over exercise, and the tempo of mod ern living. On all sides we are bombarded with the advice. Take it easy. Don't work so hard. Slow down. Do you want to kill your self? Remember you're not as young as you used to be. " The telephone-besieged business man does get heart attacks, but not because he's busy, Dr. Klumpp adds. j Presidents; Live Amidst Strain. If pressure and tension so easily killed men, then President Eisen hower; and Adlai Stevenson would not have survived their election D6or-to-Door Bakery Goods Service ZJpped Plans for early expansion of a sew door-to-door bread and bak ery goods service in the Salem area 'has . been announced by Marckx Bakery. The bakery company, organized in Gresham 14 years ago by Ed ward Marckx, began deliveries on five routes "here last Monday and plan to" expand services to include five others in the near future. Each route! is being handled by an individual driver from Salem who acts as a rolling retailer for his area. . Bakery goods from the com pany's Gresham Bakery are de livered to a Salem distribution point two hours after leaving the ovens, a company spokesman said Saturday. Plans also include con strucuon ot a warehouse as a center for distribution in the Sa lem area.

Actual ly not a single President has ever had a fatal heart attack in office. He says it is mostly too much eating and not enough exercise that contribute ; heavily , to heart attacks.' i ' The exercise, be cautions, should be dictated by common sense and physical condition. A main thing is to keep up activity you're ac customed to. And if s silly to start in at strenuous sports after a long lay-off. But he holds, any slackening of activity leads very quickly to atro phy or degeneration. "The atrophy of dis-use, both mental and physical, is the most insidious and, in my opinion, the most deadly disease known to man. "We don't wear out we rust out" - Shorter Weeks No Help Today, Dr. Klumpp continues, most of us have a 40-hour week. We used to work a 6-day, 48-hour week, and before that, a much longer work week. But heart trou bles weren't killing more people then. Businessmen especially have a neurosis that the tempo of their lives is killing them. They worry about K, and "work with mental brakes set againt their work and in mortal terror of a heart attack. They are afraid to live for feaf of dying." "Let's do away with this non sense and take our vacations and time off because we like vacations and time off not because we're afraid well drop dead if we don't" Exercise Claimed Beneficial. And Dr. Ernest Jokl, a European heart specialist, holds that regu lar exercise, done for fun and with common sense, can "probably make you feel, look, and act JO years younger when you're 60." The, systematic exercise slows down aging, he finds. Muscular ac tivity "will never damage a nornv alheart There s no . such thing as heart strain or heart trouble from athletics themselves.' t He urges starting in early at sports you can maintain tnrougn life whether dancing, table-tennis. golfV or other activities.- Walking is good, but you . "must put your head and heart into it as well as your feet." " And there's af difference between exercise for fun, and exercise under strain. Dr. Jokl says. Avoid Nervous Strain.' Running for a taxicab to make an appointment can even be -bad. For exercise under nervous strain can narrow the artery bringing blood to the heart. Exercise done for fun expands this artery, gives your heart more blood. ; Sports also help you work out tensions,, leave you relaxed, better able to sleep. i Along the same line. Dr. White calls too much food "the most im portant faulty way of life in this country today. "Malnutrition and infection have given way to over-nutrition and the ills that seem to accompany it High blood pressure, diabetes and increased coronary heart disease. "A good program of regular ex ercise of almost any sort (walking a few miles a day may suffice), and avoidance of over-nutrition, and a return in part at least to the more . rugged, positive' virtues of our ancestors the cultivation not only of courage, patience and opti mism, but also of good hard work (even on Saturdays) may do more for our future health and happi ness than all the new medicines or new operations in the world." rft j r" V-r . - , .
