The council voted to take lia

Jones, city attorney, said he
could not give the council any
opinion on t tie status of the air
port management lease between
Siskiyou County and Alpine Air
ways until he could determine
when the airport operation was
abandoned by Alpine Airways.
The lease agreement has
come to light since the county
gave the city the airport, free

city is currently seeking an air

assemblywoman. 2nd district,
told the Dunsmuir Women's
Club on Tuesday that now is
the time to set the Box Canyon
Dam project underway in south
ern Siskiyou County to develop
a much needed recreational po
tential. She said $2,800,000 is available
as a state grant under the
terms of the Davis-Grunsky act
if the Siskiyou County board of
supervisors initiates the ncces
sarv action to obtain the cr.int
Mrs. Davis recommended that
the Siskiyou County Economic
Commission provide statistical
backing for an Area Redevelop
ment grant of two million dol
lars to augment state funds and
that all possible groundwork for
the dam construction be under
taken without delay.
Neither the board of supervis
ors nor the citizens of Siskiyou
Couny are assuming obligation
in this procedural action, and
acceptance of funds available
could be weighed against costs
involved as the contract specifi
cations are drawn up, Mrs. Da
vis pointed out.
The Women's Club members
endorsed Mrs. Davis' stand and
will ask action from the board
of supervisors.
In other remarks at the lunch

lined possible legislation (nr ed

The society recommended that

but speak out in tlicir communi

now cut their chance of getting

said, and added that cigar and
pipe smokers who do not inhale
have much less chance of get
ting the disease.
The society resolved In "re
cognize publicly the alarming
rise. ..of lung cancer and emphy

and deplore the methods of cig

abuses is the illegal traffic in

This drug which is legally
sold only 'on a doctor's pro
scription is bootlegged as "pep
pills," "bennies" or "stay-awake
pills" lo truck drivers and oth
ers. Truck stops, drug stores
when caught bootlegging these
pills are subject to heavy fines
and the owners to imprison
ment. It is particularly dangerous
or truck drivers to 'take these
pills while driving because such
side effects as impaired judg
ment, and temporary mental de-,
rangement are common and can
cause tragic accidents. In
youths these pills are often the
first step to juvenile delinquen
cy or experimenting with dan
gerous habit-forming drugs.
A great variety of drug ship

Records Cloud Belief That Being Fat
Invites Heart Attack, Stroke And Death
By HE LOS SMITH
I i'l Scit-nre Kdllpr
NEW VOHK iL'PI'-A small
cloud has come over the widely
held medical belief that to tc
persistently fat through adult
years is to invite a heart attack
or a stroke and premature
death.
It didn't work out that way
among 527 men lor whom long
term medical records were
complete. They were veteran
railroad men and had been ex
amined periodically by the rail
road's medical department.
But they were exceptional in
that all of them had registered
abnormally high hlood pres
sures in at least two of these
examinations before they were
50.
This, however, would be ex
pected to make them more
prone to heart attacks, strokes
and premature death, according
to ( lo general medical view.
It was true for these men w ith
the exception of heart attacks.
"Severe, fixed, diastolic hy
(XTtcnsion was associated with
significantly increased inci
dence of cerebral vascular ac
cidents (strokes), medical disa
bility and premature death,"
said Dr. George K. Dimond.
But, he added, "the incidence
of coronary heart disease was

astolic hypertension."
As for being persistently over
weight. Dimond found that
among hypertensive railroad
men it was "associated with a
significantly increased frequen
cy of diabetes but was not re
lated to the development of
coronary heart disease, cer
ebral vascular accident or
longevity."
tin the basis of this finding,
he had this opinion: "Sustained
weight reduction in obese pa
tients may tower the incedcncc
of diabetes and le desirable for
many reasons, but relative body
weight in a hypertensive group
is not important in tlie develop
ment of coronary heart disease.
Dimond is physician for the
New York Central. The 527
men were of varying ages when
first medically examined in
l!OS. Dimond studied their ac
cumulated records up to 12.
By Own 318 were dead and :it
still were actively' employed.
Of Uie dead, 3D per cent lived
to 70 or older.
Majiy of the men, he noted,
died before there were drugs
to lower blood pressures and
maintain them at the lower
levels. His study showed that

The hypertensive railroad meji
who did have heart attacks hajl
tliem. as a statistical rule,
slightly later in life than Uje
railroad men with essenlild
normal blood pressure. On tlie
other hand, their attacks were
usually much more severe.
In reporting to a tcclinical
journal of the American Medi
cal Association, Dimon recalled
that as recently as 1039 an
eminent medical scientist
agreed with tlie general medi
cal view that hypertension is
"a direct precursor of coronary
heart disease." ;
In 1953 tlus same scientist re
versed his opinion and in 1961
he "felt that in men tlie re
lationship of tlie two diseases
is not too clear." On tlie other
hand, another eminent scientist
reported only last year that hy
pertension "greatly increases
the risk" of both strokes and
heart attacks.
