Harvard Survey
Covers Smoking
By Teenagers.
Boston (Science Service)
When, where and if junior
and senior high school stu
dents smoke is the target of
a study launched here.
More than 7,000 students
from the seventh through, the
12th years in the Newton,
Mass., schools have filled out
initial questionnaires pre
pared by the staff of the de
partment of epidemiology of
the Harvard school of public
health.
The study will seek the an
swers to such questions as
when are smoking . habits
formed; what ,are the' influ
ences that lead to the estab
lishment of such habits; do
young people smoke because
their parents smoke
Follow-up Interviews
The entire survey will ex
tend over a 3-year period. It
will include' follow-up inter
views with a selected group
of parents and students, Dr.
Eva J. Salber, research asso
ciate in epidemiology and
director of the study, report
ed. , V
The questions asked each
student separates them into
three groups: those who have
never smoked, those who
have smoked and stopped,
and those who now smoke.
Related to Activities
'Beyond the statistical evi
dence seeking out the length
of time smokers have smoked
and the extent of their smok
ing, the Harvard survey also
seeks to relate the habit, or
lack of habit, to book read
ing (apart from class assign
ments), television viewing
(the average number of hours
during the week and over
the weekend), k driving habits
and extracurricular activities
such as dances, clubs and ath
letics. Although no direct attempt
is made to link cigarette smok
ing with the onset or preva
lence of lung cancer, two of
the questions deal with this
topic: Have you ever heard
that lung cancer may be
caused by- smoking? Do you
believe that smoking causes
lung cancer?

Co-Chairman for
Heart Fund Named
Portland R. L. Burke, Eu
gene businessman, and Eddie
Mays, Portland restaurateur,
have been appointed co-chairmen
of the 1960 Heart Fund,
Dr. Roger H. Keane, president
of the Oregon Heart associa
tion, announced Friday.
Importance of the 1960
drive has been underscored
by new figures which the Ore
gon state board of health released-
showing diseases of
heart had increased 11.8 per
cent in the first nine, months
of 1959, compared to the same
period in 1958, Dr. Keane
said. In addition, arterioscle
rosis jumped 18.7 per cent in
the same period, Dr. Keane
said.
Money from the drive,
which opens Feb. 1, provides
the financial support of the
Heart Association's research,
education and community
service program three wea
pons which can reduce this
upward swing of heart disease
deaths, Dr. Keane emphasized.
