Behavior determines heart conditions

How do you behave? The
way you behave may
determine your heart's
resistance to coronary at-
tacks

Evidence has ac-
cumulated recently that
tends to support the long
suspected contention that
personality type may
contribute to heart attacks.
Doctors are increasingly
stating that their patients
have either Type A or Type
B behavior patterns’ when
trying to assess risk of
coronary artery disease.

We all know people in
each group. The person with
a Type A behavior pattern
shows competitiveness,
intense striving . for
achievement, and excess
drive and hostility. He (and
it usually is a male) also
easily becomes impatient
and has a strong sense of
time urgency. The latter
may be an advantage if his
life is going to be shortened
by coronary disease!

This type of behavior
pattern is deeply rooted in
the person — an enduring
part of his living style.

Do fot confuse the above
with ‘stress’. The individual

response to stress. His
behavior pattern is part of
his makeup, not secondary
to his surroundings.

In contrast, the Type B
pattern of behavior is one of

Harry Smith,

VERY so often I'm re-
minded of how very
lucky Canadians are. We are
not. smarter than other
people. Goodness knows, we
are no more industrious. We
are just luckier, because we
happen lo be living in this
country at this time. ©
When you consider that
we are just a drop in the
bucket of the world’s popula-
tion, you can see just how
blind lucky we are,
Millions of people on earth
today are literally starving
to death. They will be dead,

Drought

— French
farmers believe this summer's
drought will cost them $2 billion
and they want the government
to cover the lass.

But Agriculture Secretary
Pierre Mehaignerie, faced with
this demand by France's lead-
ing farmers’ union, said it is
impossible to give an exact fig-
ure yet for losses to drought.

Government officials are ty-
ing to work out the cost of the
drought and will decide haw
much aid lo pay farmers on
Sept. 29.

In Britain, fears are rising
that shortages of water may
force some factories to reduce
operations or even close down.

Worst hit is South Wales,
where there is dumeslic water
rationing. Beginning next week,
about one million people will
have (heir water supply cut off
for 12 hours each night,

Weathermen say there likely
will not be any heavy rainfall
until at least September, and
water officials say industry will
haveto cut its use of water by 50
per-eent if there is no sub-
stantial rainfall in three weeks.

In Switzerland, the most re-
cent effects of the drought have
been on Geneva's annual festi-
val, which includes a parade
with 21 flower-bedecked floats.

Festival organizers usually
need about 300,000 flowers, but
officials say they are short 50,-
000 flowers this year.

Millions more are just

hopeless existence, just one
step away fram the animal. |

These hordes are subject
toali the other things that go
with a minimal existence,
besides hunger: cold,
disease, ignorance, fear, and
perhaps worst of all, help-
lessness.

And we complain endless-
ly, we Canadians, about such
herrors as inflation, postal
strikes, taxes, and all the
other relatively piddling
burdens we bear.

We howl with outrage
when butter jumps 15 eents a
pound. Some of us nearly

of heer and liquor is raised.
The very wealthy feel a
deep, inner pain because

Truth is, the vast majority
of Canadians eat too much,
suffer from over-heating
rather than cold and are
much more likely to die from
too much medicine than they
are from disease.

Left hand

Ever buy
a left-handed can opener?

How about a left-handed
address book?

Laurie Wiser, proprietor of
Canada’s first store catering
exclusively to left-handers, has
a stock of 50 ilems for sale.

Prices are higher than right-
hand cvunterparls because no
une in Canada makes anything
for lefties. Wiser imports from
the United States and Britain
where shops catering to south-
paws have a lengthy tradilion.

“It wasn't until I researched
this subject that 1 realized how
deprived we southpaws are,”
Wiser says. *

Even language has conspired
against them: the Latin wore
for lefl, sinister, has came lo
mean underhanded and evil;
the French word gauche has
been interpreted fo mean
ignorant, unstylish, Hight, on
the other hand. has come to
connate correct and proper,

God is always on one’s right:
the devil on one’s left.

More men than woman are
southpaws, bul nobody really
knows why anyane is. About 10
per cent of the population is
born leftdianded — that would
mean about two million
Canadians — and there are
conflicting theories on the
capabilities or incapabilities of
lefties.
