Three major predisposing factors to being disabled or dying of a stroke or other cardiocascul-la- r trouble arc hypertension, overweight and high fatty acid and cholesterol levels, the magazine said, noting that American Heart Association recommends that women begin to be tested in their thirties or earlier for their cholesterol level. The female hormone, estrogen, affords women some protection against heart attacks, but it is by no means complete, and our femaleness doesnt help at all when it comes to hypertension and strokes. The magazine said the Weight Watchers Diet, originally designed to lower the cholesteral level of coronary prone males, has had a significant effect in reducing the heart attack rate among a group who stayed on it for four years.

Kinks, plugs and leaks in these blood vessels can interfere with normal circulation: in any given year diseases arising from these causes are responsible for approximately half, the deaths that occur in the U.S. and a great deal of invalidism, according to the Utah Heart Association. Because blood vessel diseases strike such a large segment of our population, its fortunate that doctors today have a method called arteriography, which enables them to see the arteries and their defects. By scouting the maze of blood vessels, arteriography helps doctors find trouble spots even when only inches or a fraction of an inch in an otherwise healthy artery may be involved. In arteriography, an opaque dye is injected that will show up on As the dye travels through the vessels, photos or movies are taken, silhouetting the pathways through which the x-ra- ys. x-r- ay blood flows. Studying the developed film, the physician can detect narrowings, plugs or other abnormalities in the arteries. High speed movies taken at 50 to 60 frames per second while the dye branches out from larger through smaller arteries provide a picture of what and where the trouble is. Such pictures help the physician plan treatment suited to the condition, including in some cases surgery to remove or bypass the trouble spot. Sometimes the surgery requires the use of a blood vessel graft or grafts; sometimes the surgeon simply removes the blocking clog or x-r- ay Continental Drift Noted by Scientists Scientists from three institu- tions will join in a search in the remote ice girdled mountains in Antartica for fossil evidence the worlds continents once were one. The 17 man group will seek fossils of ancient land vertebrates similar to those found on continents separated from Antartica by up to 2000 miles of saltwater. Only one such fossil, a piece of jawbone of a fresh water am- phibian called a labyrinthodont, has so far been found in Antartica. To account for finding 3imilar animal fossils in places now so remote from each other many scientist support the theory thta these places must have been continuous at one time. Nearly $6.9 million in National Science Foundation grants and contracts will support the scientific investigations to be conducted on the continent from research vessels at sea and aircraft. plug and reopens the existing channel. Interference with normal blood circulation can be crippling or fatal. Obstructions in the vessel of the legs can cause crippling; spots (aneurysms) in major arteries of the trunk may burst and cause death. Blockage of neck arteries which conduct the blood to the brain may lead to strokes. One of the most hopeful developments in recent years has been the realization that as many as 40 per cent of strokes may result from such blockage of neck arteries and that if the condition is diagnosed and treated in time, many of these strokes can be prevented. Arteriography is but one of many advances which have emerged during the past ten years from the research supported by Heart Associations and other groups.

Under federal regulations, you are not required to pay income tax on donations to religious, charitable, educational and other philanthropic organizations whose status has been approved the U.S. by Treasury Department. The list of such organizations is long. It includes everything from hospitals, nonprofit cemetaries and universities- to fire departments and the Boy Scouts. But domestic gifts are not the only contributions. You can, for example, deduct' donations made to some American organizations for use overseas. A case in point is Catholic Relief Services, which carries on massive, lifesaving relief operations in more than 70 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
