Arteries Studied To Find Key

scientists
worked direct

part, and no

were working
with 941 main
heart arteries
which had
been removed
from as many
bodies.
Delos Smith
The first question to be an
swerqgl was which arteries
among the 941 were the most
extensively "hardened," since
"burdened arteries" are one
of the chief reasons why peo
ple don't live longer than
they doO To get that answer
was lately a matter of sort

But comparing the most
hardened with the least hard

in all three rodeos in order to
qualify.
Bigger this year than ever
before the Emerald Empire,
roundup will offer four ro
deos instead of three Fri
day and Saturday nights and
Saturday and Sunday after
noons. There will be two buck
aroo breakfasts, from 6 a.m.
to nooi, on Saturday and Sun
day. The giant roundup parade,
which ast year drew 40,000
spectators, will be at 10 a.m.
Saturday, and the roundup
danVe will be at 9 pjn. Sat:
urday. All events except the
pjrade will be at Lane county

the payoff one and the scien
tists, of course, would have
liked for the arteries them
selves to provide the answer.
Not getting it there, they
did the next best thing. They
checked comparatively o n
where the arteries had come
from. The most "hardened"
had come from the bodies of
persons who had lived in New
Orleans. The least hardened
ones belonged to Guatemalan
Indians.
Now, there's a riddle for
you, or is it? " ,
The scientists didn't think
so. The New Orleans arteries,
in common with most Ameri
can arteries, had been sub
jected in life to diets with an
approximate 40 per cent fat
content. Guatamalan Indians
have comparatively little fat
in their diet.
The scientists felt this add
ed another item to the circum
stantial case that relatively
high fat" diets keep the choles
terol and other fat levels of
the blood high, which "hard
ens" arteries, and in the end
shortens lives. This case is
accepted as proved by some
scientists but still is regarded
with suspicion by others.
Clinch Case
The detached arteries in
vestigation was a unique one
in the efforts of science to
find the real reasons for
"hardened arteries," what
ever they are, and so get new
knowledge with which to pro
long life. They were detached
from the bodies of persons
who died in general hospitals
in New Orlean, Guatamala

City, and San Jose, Costa Rica,
at all ages from one to over
80.
Obviously there are more
differences between New Or
leans whites and Guatamalan
Indian than just the states of
arteries and the kinds of diets.
Among them are distinct ra
cial differences, and racial an
cestry has something to do
with the staying elasticity of
arteries.
But the Costa Rican arter
ies seemed to clinch the case
against a high fat diet. They
came from whites with much
the same European racial an
cestry as the New Orleans
whites, -and similar diets.
These Costa Rican arteries
were less "hardened" than the
New Orleans arteries, but
much more "hardened" than
the Indian arteries.
Interestingly, arteries from
children under 10 showed
some degree of "hardening"
in all three groups. Arteries
from persons under 30 when
they died had "hardened" at
the same rate in all three. But
after 30 the New Orleans ar
teries had "hardened" at a
staggering rate compared to
those of the other two groups.
The investigation was that
of Drs. Carlos Tejada, Ira
Gore, Jack P. Strong, and
Henry C. McGill Jr., of the
Institute of Nutrition of Cen
tral America and Panama,
Harvard School of Public
Health and Louisiana State
University Medical School.
They reported their finds to

Clive and Maureen are ba
sically dishonest about facing
the fact that their disowning
of their religions is not rpoted
in any sound or valid under
standing of what they have
renounced.
It appears from both state
ments that they are both es
sentially interested in turn
ing their backs upon their
own kind, their own families,
their own heritage. Very like
ly, this was a prime motive
in their crossing religious
lines in their marriage.
Deprived of their spiritual
heritage, Clive and Maureen
have become frank material
ists and make a fetish and
God-substitute out of their
hatred for their own kind.
We don't blame Clive for
being ashamed to come to his
church as a beggar needing a
handout. Unfortunately, he
doesn't realize how big a
handout he really needs.
As for Maureen, we think
she is in no position to judge
the motives of others in join
ing a church. She can under
stand nothing of the thoughts
and feelings of individuals
who are less wholeheartedly
and crudely materialistic than
she. '
We can only answer this
question with more questions.
Are Clive and Maureen really
satisfied with themselves as
human beings now they have
achieved a measure of free
dom from the'values that nur
tured them?
Are they content to pass on
to their children their own
spiritual starvation and rest
less craving to use their fel
low creatures only for their
own advantage? Do they feel
they have a right to deprive
their children of knowledge
of the spiritual values that are
ihe oldest and deepest herit
age we have?

Scientist Believes Man May
Some Day
Philadelphia (UPI)
Most people are familiar with
speeds that crack the sound
barrier. But what about
cracking the time barrier?
There's a scientific theory
that man may some day travel
fast enough in space to "get
ahead of time." Another way
of saying it is that Rip Van
Winkle had spent his 20 years
snoozing in a trip through
space aboard a hypersonic
rocket ship, he might have
come back younger than he
started out.
It's not as silly as it sounds.
Albert Einstein, in enunci
ating his theory of relativity
a half-century ago, explained
to the handful who could un
derstand him that time almost

Proof at Hand
Today. Dr. I. M. Levitt, Di
rector of the Franklin Insti
tute's Fels Planetarium here,
says the actual proof is at
hand as we heave satellites
into orbit to radio back the
story.
Levitt, who designed the
world's first "space clock" to
record interplanetary time
variations between the earth
and Mars, has developed a
new series of clocks to dem
onstrate how "time slows down
for a body as it approaches
the speed of light.
For example, if a space ship
can be accelerated unui it

Levitt said the traveler would

during which the stay-at-homes
on earth were aging

Levitt explained that the
closer we come to limiting
speed of light 186,000 miles
a second the more time is
slowed down, until at the
speed of light, if such were
attainable, time would stop.
The slow down or time

ceptible, but sensitive instru

hypersonic speeds.

Migrant Farm Workers Confined
In Most Camps, Writer Learns
Editor's note: This is the second
of four articles about America's
migrant farm workers. In the
first article Louis Cassels said
the average family will make
about $1,000 in a good year.
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
The Somerset Labor Camp,
on route 13 near Princess
Anne, Md., is listed by govern
ment officials as a place where
relatively "good" housing is
available to migrant farm
workers.
It is a group of ancient
wooden barracks, built in
1934 by the Civilian Conser
vation Corps and used during
World War II, to house Ger
man prisoners of war. Since
the war it has been operated
by the Somerset County Truck
Growers Association.
The Somerset Camp stands
empty for about seven months
of the year. It starts to fill
up in June when migrant fam
ilies begin their annual trek
northward from Florida to
harvest the beans, tomatoes
and other vegetable crops
which ripen during the sum
mer, on the rich farmlands of
the eastern shore of Maryland
and Virginia.
From June through Octo
ber, Somerset Camp is home
to 650 adult mirgrants and
an uncounted horde of chil
dren. The adults pay rent of
$1 per person per week. No
rent is charged for children,
so no one bothers to enumer
ate them.
The barracks are divided
ellite carrying a precise clock
which will record this dila
tion or slowing down of time
in a human body, circling the
earth at a speed of five miles
per second."
This is relatively slow, but
it will be enough to figure
accurately that in a life span
of 100 years, the inhabitants
of the space station would
gain one second over those re
maining on earth, he said.
In the distant future, how
ever, on jaunts to the outer
reaches of the solar system,
the significance would be
much greater, he said, and the
time gain might make space
travel a sort of "elixir of
life."
Body Much Like Clock
-Levitt explained that the
body is much like a clock
with the heart taking the
place of the balance wheel.
As the rocket's speed in
creases, he said, the heart will
function more slowly, and if
the body's speed increases
enough, the heart will beat
70 times a minute.
There's no one beating a
path to the space ship reser
vation desk to book passage
for the fountain of youth,"
however. The issue is not
without controversy.
Medical men, while not dis
puting the validity of the time
dilation theory, take issue
with those who claim the hu
man body can be slowed down
to this point and still live.

into rooms each about 15 by
16 feet, with a single screened
window and an electric light
bulb hanging from the ceiling.
The rule is one family to a
room, although families of
more than six people some
times get an additional room.
Six iron cots pretty well fill
a 15 by 16 room. The space
left over is used for a kitchen
corner, which usually includes
a two-burner kerosene stove,
a galvanized iron water buck
et, a few pots and pans. Water
is hauled from an outdoor
spigot between the rows of
barracks.
Each group of barracks has
a communal wash room which
includes separate shower and
toilet facilities for men ,and
women, and a place to do
laundry.
There are a few a very
few migrant camps better
than Somerset. The model
camps operated by Seabrook
Farms in New Jersey and by
the H. P. Cannon & Sons can
nery at Bridgeville, Del., are
examples.
Outdoor Privvies
There are thousands of mi
grant camps that make Somer
set look luxurious by com
parison. In a tour of three states
Maryland, Virginia and Dela
ware where migrant labor
plays an indispensable role in
agriculture, I saw 50 camps
with outdoor- privvies for
everyone with flush toilets.
I saw many i families living,
eight or 10 to the room, in
unscreened vermin - infested
shanties where the stench was
enough to gag a maggot.
In general, the larger camps
which are operated by grow
ers cooperatives are the best.
You find the worst conditions

It is very difficult to per

prices, that he should spend
a lot of money improving
housing that will be occupied
by such tenants.
But the growers who have
invested in decent housing
