First-Aid Techniques Now Can Include Heart Massage By HAROLD T. HYMAN, M.D. Whiten (or NEA With the encouraging state ment that "all that is needed are two hands," a trio of sur geons from the Johns Hopkins Hospital describe a simple meth od by which they have success fully revived 20 patients whose hearts suddenly ceased to beat. Following experiments p e r formed on more than 100 dogs, Drs. Kouwenhoven, Jtide and Knickerbocker satisfied them selves that it was possible to mas sage the heart and restore i t s beat without opening the chest or resorting to electrical stimulation. The method they recommend can be applied "by anyone, any where." And since it can do no harm, it may be worth your attention despite the fact that most of us will never be confronted with the urgent situation of what to do when a fellow human being sud denly collapses before our eyes. Here's how you carry outl Between compressions, lift closed - chest massage of the both hands In nermit the hrrast heart: Turn the patient on his back, preferably against some firm sup port. Stand or kneel on the left side of the subject. Place the heel of your right hand on the lower portion of the breast bone (sternum). If your hand is correctly positioned, your palm will be over the right edge of the breast bone and your fin bone to resume its normal posi tion. At each compression stroke, blood is forced out of the heart. At each lift of the hands, the heart is allowed to fill. If help is at hand, request an assistant to begin mouth-to-nose respiration at a rate of 18 to 20 per minute.

By IRVING DESFOR AP Ncwsfcatures My annual notice that a new year is just around the corner is signalled by cats. There are wide eyed and sleepy cats, old and young cats, Siamese and alley cats, playful and wary cats. They were all photographed by Walter Chandoha for the "1961 Cat Calendar" (Berkshire Publish ing Company, Cambridge, Mass.). a weekly engagement book. The large variety was needed since a new cat character is featured for each week in the year. Chandoha's reputation as a top cat photographer is well deserved but he's doggone smart, loo. And so, not to lose favor with the dog lovers of the nation, there's a "1961 Dog Calendar" with equally fascinating photos of man's best friend. Having watched him photo graphing cats and dogs in the past, here are some of his maneuvers tricks and advice that might help camera fans who wish to take pictures of their own pets. "One of the secrets of good animal photography," Chandoha says, "is observation." "Study your pet for days or weeks observe its habits in dif ferent situations. Note its reac tions before and after meals and when it gets playful and sleepy How does- it react to different sounds, new toys, strange people food odors? "When you're familiar with your pet's habits, you can plan your picture taking to capture the play ful activities or interesting reac tions that you've seen before." Select a small area as the shoot ing stage so that you don't have to shift focus constantly. In win ter, cats prefer a warm spot neai' a radiator or in a sunny area on the rug or a window sill. Or you' put a favorite cushion or blanket on a small table and place it several feet away from a plain wall. An armchair or couch can also be used provided it's covered by a plain cloth or blan ket to hide any distracting pat terns. Food, or the smell of food, can be used to keep a pet on the stage set. Strange sounds can arouse their curiosity or startle them to attention at the moment of shooting. from a stick like a fishing pole.
