Far East Citizens Have
Little Heart Disease
Tokyo OI.R! Heart ditease
the biggest man killer in th
United States causes little
trouble in the easy-going far
East.
In no Asian country does
heart disease rank among the
three top killers. Rarely does
it appear among the top 10.
India, Indonesia and Thailand
do not ven bother to keep heart
disease statistics.
In Asia, the top killers are
epidemic diseases and others
such as tuberculosis, beri-beri,
cancer, malaria, yaws and pneu
monia. In the United States in 1950,
745,074 persons died of heart
disease a rate of 494.4 per 100,
000 population. In 1953, this
jumped to 794.120 deaths a
rate of 501 4 per 100.000.
In Japan, the disea.ee death
rate was 59.9 per 100,000 In
1954. The number five killer in
Japan, this was the highest rate
in Asia.
Ruth And Worry
Only 16.000 heart disease
deaths in the past three years
were reported in Vietnam; 4.4
per cent of total deaths in 1955
were attributed to heart disease
in Nationalist China; out of a
total Korean population of about
22.000,000. health authorities re
ported only 1,449 deaths from
heart disease in 1955.
Philippines statistics showed a
death rate of 23.33 per 100,000;
of 19.283 Hongkong deaths in
1954, heart disease caused 4.152.
Most Asians blame the high
U. S. rate on the hectic American
life with Its rush, rush rush and
worry, worry, worry. In fact,
they call heart disease "man
ager's disease."
One Chinese had this advice
(or Americans:
"Stay healthy, don't over
work, sleep, don't get fat and
never, never get excited about
anything. That way your heart
will hold for 70 years and after
that you should die anyway."
The Chinese claim their way
of life makes for a calmer ex-
Montgomery Segregation
Of Buses Ruled Invalid '
Montgomery, Ala. (U.R) A
three -judge federal tribunal
has ruled that segregation of
city busses in Montgomery is un
constitutional. The bus line has been boycot
ted for six months by Negroes
demanding an end to segregated
seating.
The Tallahassee, Fla., bus line
also is being boycotted by Ne
groes who are asking similar

istence. There is none of the
pressure common to Americans.
They seldom make quick deci
sions, preferring to think things
over for days. They do not
usually get fat and although
they are not fond of exercise,
like to take long walks to stay
in shape.
Diet Theory
A Thai doctor agreed:
"We Thais don't work as hard
as those in the western hemi
sphere. And another thing, we
don't worry as much as they do."
Indonesian health officials
credited their "quiet existence
and peaceful minds" for the low
heart disease death rate.
Vietnam authorities claim
benefits of the "peaceful, calm"
life led by the Vietnamese were
proved by the fact that during
the upheaval and strain of the
Indochinese war, heart disease
deaths increased markedly.
The theory held by some U. S.
heart specialists that America's
high fat diet can be blamed for
the heavy toll finds support by
some authorities In the Far East.
It was pointed out that the
staple diet in most Asian coun
tries is composed of rice, fish,
fruits, vegetables and other
foods low in fat content.
Korean authorities said the
"only reason" they could give
for the wide gap in heart death
rates in Korea and the United
States was that Koreans eat less
meat and fat than Americans.
Indian authorities blamed
"sedentary life and rich food"
for India's higher heart disease
death rate among India's city
dwellers than among villagers
who live a more physically stren
uous life, with a simpler diet.
Japanese doctors point out,
however, that the death rate
could be higher in the United
States because more people
reach old age there than in Asian
nations and that heart disease is
essentially and old person's ill
ness. In Asia, tuberculosis and
other diseases take a heavy toll
of the young.
Many authorities also believe
that the rate actually should be
higher in some countries of the
Far East. In villages and interior
regions which have few doctors,
they reason that some heart dis
ease deaths are not diagnosed
and reported as such.

won S32.000 last night by identi
fying characters In Sherlock
Holmes stories on "The $64,000
Question" quiz program.
Capt. Thomas O'Rourke, who
is stationed at Wright-Patterson
Air Force base in Dayton, O.,
and his wife Bobbye, answered
separate seven - part questions
based on the detective stories by
A. Conan Doyle.
Mrs. O'Rourke, 24, revealed
that she and her 24-year-old hus
band have a system for insuring
a cash prize.
"If I fail to answer the ques
tion," Mrs. O'Rourke said, "then
Tommy will take the money in
stead of moving on to the last
question. That way we are sure
to win something."
Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke, who
are on the CBS television show
as separate contestants with the
same category, are thus assured
of a cash prize and a 1956 Cadil

should miss a question.

Many of our Junipers have
dead twigs scattered through
them, especially in the interior
part of the bush. This dying out
of some twigs, which is general
ly accompanied by lack of vigor
in the entire bush, is generally
due to the presence of Juniper
scale.
This scale is easily detected
during most of the year because
of white and brownish spots on
the leaves and twigs. At the
present time this scale is diffi
cult to detect without a hand
lens as the old scale have died
and the young scale are now out
and crawling around.
Easy to Control
In this stage the scale is par
ticularly easy to control because
they are not protected by a
waxy covering. Where the scale
is present, Junipers should be
sprayed with four lbs. of mala
thion in 100 gallons of water.
In small sprayers this amounts
to three lbs. in two gallons of
water.
As the young scale will be in
between the leaves where it will
be difficult to wet them,
thorough coverage will be ab
solutely essential. Also, as all of
the scale do not appear at one
time, a second spray applied in
three weeks will complete a
