THE DOCTOR SAYS
February Chosen
As Heart Month
By W. f.. RRAMISTADT,- M.D
Written for
Newspaper Knterprlse Assn.
February is designated as
Hpntt Mnth. But to a person
with heart disease, every month
is heart month. February was
chosen because of Valentine's
Pay, and this ties in with the old
idea that the heart is the center
of tlie emotions.
It is not hard to see how the
old idea got its start. Any strong
emotion will set the heart to rac
ing and pounding. It may not be
the center of the emotions, but
it is violently affected by them
The normal heart rate of a
person at rest is between 72 and
80 beats per minute. This pumps
about five quarts of blood
through the body every minute.
Since the heart continues to beat
whether we are asleep or awake.
it might be asked why this amaz
ing muscle doesn't get tired and
quit. The answer is that after
'each 'ontraction (lasting about a
third of a second, the muscle
rests for about a quarter of a
second. Even when we are doing
strenuous physical exercise, with
both the heart rate and volume
of blood increased, there is a
short pause after each beat.
A reader has asked what the
doctor hears when he listens to
your heart through his stetho
scope. If the heart is normal he
hears a rhythmic double sound
with each beat; the sound if the
closing of the heart valves and
(he sound of the powerful contrac
tion of the ventricles. If there is
a roughening of the valve surface
due to scarring following rheu
matic fever, or if the valves do
not close completely, thus allow
ing some backflow. he will hear a
characteristic murmur.
In children and young adults
he may hear a slight murmur
i really a blurring of the normal
ly sharp heart sounds' that is
not caused by any structural
change in the heart. Such a mur
mur is called a "functional mur
mur" and has no significance. It
is best recognized by the fact that
it disappears when the person who
has it hops up and down a few
times, thus increasing the heart
action.
Infectious diseases may cause
another kind of change, a rough
ening of the outer surface of
the heart. This will cause it to
grate against the chest wall with
each beat and produce what is
known as a "friction rub."
Since the heart is a large mus
cle it needs nourishment just as
does any other muscle. As the
blood is forced from the heart
into the large arterial trunk, the
aorta, a small part of it is forced
into the small arteries that sup
ply the heart's own muscle. These
are the coronary arteries.
As the hardening of the arteries
that starts at birth gradually pro
gresses, the arteries slowly be
come narrower and carry less
blood. When the narrowing reach
es the point where the amount of
blood carried is insufficient for
the heart's needs, coronary heart
disease becomes manifest. If
this is gradual, the heart is em
barrassed only if there is an in
creased physical or emotional de
mand on it. The resulting protest
is the pain of angina pectoris.
If there is a sudden plugging
of a coronary artery by a blood
clot, there is an acute heart at
tack which may or may not prove
falal, depending on the si.e of
the clot and hence the size of!
I he area suddenly deprived of;
blood.

Oregon Tech's versatile (Jene
I-arson, director of admissions
counseling, has received a letter
from one of Oregon's high schools
asking him to present a library
demonstration during National Li
brary Week. The demonstration
will be designed to get students
interested in going into the li
brary and to get them to read
l)ooks. Larsen says that he
will take with him a four-barrel
carburetor from auto tune-up, a
power brake from auto mechan
ics, a handmade gun from gun
smithing, a set of drawing instru
ments from drafting, an oscillo
scope from electronics and a bot
tle of a scar ids i hookworms'. Be
side each display will he a sign
challenging the students to search
tor information. For example, be
side the hookworm display will
bp a sign with the question.
"Would it be possible for you to
have these?
I, a r s e n also informs us
that he will begin working with
other state system personnel in
conducting junior high school vis
itations throughout the state
wherever requested. For a num
ber of years the High School-College
flotations Committee has
been visiting high schools giving
information about all of the insti
tutions of higher learning in Ore-
con and giving counseling assis
tance to aid students in selecting
the tpe of higher education pro
gram which best suits their
needt. The junior high visitation
program is carrying the service
further by giving junior high
school students counseling and
'guidance to assist them in select
ing the proper high school pro
gi.im which will in turn prepare,
them het for the ty of post
high school education which will
be mnt valuable to them.

JFK Warns
Of Disaster
WASHINGTON (UP 1 1 Presi
dent Kennedy has wanted that it
would be "a disaster" if the
NATO alliance split over nuclear
defense and economic policy.
The President told his news
onference Thursday that if Eu
rope and the United States are
unable to work together, "it will
have the most serious repercus
sions for the security of us and
for Western Europe."
Kennedy was asked if he con
sidered French President Charles
de Gaulle's veto of British ad
mission to the Common Market
and De Gaulle's insistence on his
own nuclear deterrent was a fatal
blow to Western unity.
He replied that Britain's fail
ure to gain admission to the eco
nomic community injured the
U.S. policy of an increasingly
stronger and more unified Europe.
For the past 15 years, lie said.
"we supported strongly the Com
mon Market. Euratom, and the
other efforts to provide for more
unified Europe.
"We are still in very stormy
seas and I really think it would
be a mistake for us In be divided
at this time when unity is essen
tial." the President added.
Kennedy said De Gaulle had
been committed to an indepen
dent nuclear force for a number
of vear.s, and that the recent
Nassau pact between the United
States and Britain did not make
him form this policy.

admirer of NATO." But. Kennedy
said. "NATO is what keeps the

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
SACRAMENTO IUPH-A Re
publican legislative leader charged
Friday that Democrats were try
ing to push a "bossism package"
through the 1963 legislature.
Assemblyman Don Mullord, R-
Oakland, repeated the GOP's re
cent claim that the ultimate ob
jective was to bring "Tammany
Hall-type politics into California.
Mullord, the assembly liepubli
an caucus chairman, cited four
legislative proposals by Democrats;
A proposal by Assemblyman
Phillip Burton, D-San Francisco,
to make supervisorial elections
partisan.
Bills introduced by Assembly
men John Knox, D-Richmond, and
Nicholas Petris, D-Oakland, and a
senate joint resolution offered by
Sen. Albert Rodda, D-Sacramen-
to, to remove restrictions on poli
tical activities by civil servants
Petris' "do-it-yourself voter
registration bill.
A proposed constitutional
amendment by Assemblyman Al
lied Song, D-Monterey Park, to
abolish the literacy requirement
for voting entirely.
Mulford said the four proposals
were inspired By purely parti
san motives to legislate the Re
publican party out of business.
"These proposals constitute a
bossism package that should be
ejected," said Mulford. "They are
designed to destroy the two-party
system."
The GOP leader predicted that
many Democrats would join the
Republican legislators in reject
ing the Burton measure.
This bill has the clfect of
placing partly labels on local can
didates and issues that bear no
logical relation to partisanship,"
Mulford said.
He attacked the bills by Knox,
Petris and Rodda on civil servants
as removing the vital protec
tion the civil servant has from
pressure to join partisan activities.
Government workers should he
free from any attempt by over-
zealous officials to 'encourage'
their participation in polities,"
said Mulford.
About Petris' registration bill.
Mulford said: "This bill rings of
partisanship. It would effectively
eliminate the literacy check re
quired by the state consitution
and would permit haphazard and
inaccurate registrations. Several
rounty clerks have told me that
this supermarket approach lo rcg-
islration would result in chaos.
He said the song bill struck at
Hie "basis of democracy" an
informed and responsible citi
zenry, voters snoum ne aoie
lo keep abreast of major issues
and cast an Intelligent ballot for
what they want not for what
some political boss tells them
they want,"-said Mulford.
The GOP caucus chairman said
that the "real issue" before the "I am confident that respon

posals "is good government ver- age," he said.
