Pag« Twelve The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Heart Surgery Can Be Reduced By Dieting Reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes by not smoking, dieting if over weight, controlling your cho lesterol level, and lowering your blood pressure seems to be the key to stopping the rapid growth of coronary ar tery disease and surgery. Speaking to key Oregon Heart Association volunteers, no ted heart surgeon Dr. Albert Starr explained that if this is not done, this country may not be able to surgically keep up with the manpower needed to correct the damage crea ted by coronary artery di sease. Dr. Starr reported that the number of operations for coronary artery disease alone has boomed from 25,- 000 in 1971 to approximately 75.000 in 1973. The most pro mising way to control coro nary artery disease is to follow the advice of the Heart Association to prevent this disease. Starr added. Heart disease accounts for more deaths and disability each year than any other disease. The Heart volunteers from throughout Oregon were at tending the association's an nual leadership conference in Portland. The conference is designed to inform them more about what is being done at the medical level to reduce death and disability from heart at tacks and strokes, and what they can do in their com munities to assist.

STOCK MARKET OUT LOOK Two significant 1973 sca res for the stock market were (I) the early-year pa nic over food prices and sup plies, and (2) the still-cur rent worries over oil and gasoline shortages with the unhappv consequences forbu siness and employment The former proved temporary and should not be overly distressing in 1974. but fuel THIS SILVER TOY POODLE, owned by Eloy Mastis of energy troubles will tie har Route 2, Nyssa, has taken over the chore of nursing der to resolve.

And the stock market could assume a more hopeful stance Now Is the practical time for investors to effect port folio relignments to meet individual goals. Start swit ching to improve your posi tion whether you are seeking growth or a combination of reasonable income and some inflation protection. These changes can be tied in with tax considerations. With nu merous depressed issues in virtually every industry group, go bargain hunting for well-established stocks and convertible securities (of companies with proven ear nings capabilities) which are selling at the lower end, historically, of their price earnings range. Industry groups looking particularly promising for 1974 include fuel and energy stocks, some of the life and property-casualty insurance Issues, offshore securities, and farm equipment stocks. The farsighted investor will find potentially rewarding buys in medical equipment and supplies and consumer goods. Even the currently out-of-favor S L L, build- ing, and apparel groups will offer plenty of good can didates where cash reser ves are ample. Such buy ing should be selective In early 1974. but as the year progresses and uncertain ties are brought intoclearer perspective, more aggres sive buying might be in or der In short, as 1974 ma kes its debut. Babson’s Re ports--instead of repeating the cautionary note sounded a year ago--suggests that this is the time for realism and courage, longer-range vi sion, and a healthy measure of faith in this country and our economy.
