RESOLUTIONS OFFERED FOR
NEW YEAR BY THE HEART ASSOCIATION
Seven New Year’s resolutions
■were suggested today by the
South Central Alaska Heart Asso
ciation and the American Heart
Association for those who seek to
protect their hearts and to live
longer and happier lives. The as
sociations recommended that all
New Year's lists be headed by
statements of intentions to: (1)
Avoid self-diagnosis. “If you
haven’t had a health and heart
examination during the past year,
see your doctor soon,” advised the
associations. “If your heart is
sound, and if treatment is not in
dicated, needless fear and anxiety
can be eliminated. If a heart ail
ment is revealed, suitable treat
ment can be begun immediately”.
(2) Avoid over-exertion. “Ex
ercise in moderation, particularly
.if you are over 40 years old,” the
associations suggested. “Strenu
ous activity will not harm a
healthy heart. But the threat is
real when the heart is diseased;
then, extra effort may prove dan
gerous.”
(3) Avoid over-fatigue. “Your
Heart Association believes you
should get an amount of sleep
you know you require. Your

heart works for you around the
When you rest or sleep, its work
load is lightened.”
(4) Avoid over-weight. “Excess
weight loads extra work onto
your heart and blood vessels,” it
was stated. “You will look, feel
and work better—and you are
likely to live longer—if you keep
your wreight close to normal.”
(5.) Treat respiratory infections
promptly. “The cold weather
months on the average bring
about a 13 percent increase in
deaths from heart and circulatory
disease,” reported the associa
tions. “This increase is largely the
result of the prevalence of pneu
monia, bronchitis and other ill
nesses which often impose a heav
ier-than-usual strain on the heart
and circulatory system during
this period. Don’t take winter in
fections lightly; seek prompt ar.d
adequate treatment for them.”
(6) Avoid worry. “Don’t bur
den your heart with needless
worry. Worrying cures or pre
vents nothing. So don’t be guid
ed by oldwives tales, fallacies
and superstitions. Know the facts
about heart disease and your own
heart. For information about the
heart and its disease, ask your
Heart Association. For advice
about your heart, always see your
doctor.”
(7) Support your Heart Associa
tion. “With diseases of the heart
and circulation responsible for
nearly 800,000 deaths yearly, or
about 52 percent of all deaths,
Heart Association’s crusade
against these diseases needs the
support of every man, woman
and child in America. The annual
Heart Fund campaign will be
held throughout February. Re
solve now to ‘Help Your Heart
Fund—Help Your Heart.’ ”

Mobile X-Ray—
(Continued from page 1)
mer Area Civil Defense is co-op
erating with the X-ray program
by providing transportation on re
quest for those who have no other
means of getting to the clinic.
For this service, Bill Eldrldge
may be contacted in the Butte
area and Floyd Perkins in the
Matanuska Experiment Station
area.
The program chairman again
urged that everyone co-operate
in making the Palmer area X-ray
clinic a complete success. “Make
New Years’ calls on your neigh
bors to make sure they know
about the clinic”, urged Mrs. Wil
son. ‘‘Then make plans to go to
gether.
“The hidden source of T. B. in
your community might be the one
who doesn’t get an X-ray”, she
reminded. “Do your part—you
are only as safe as your neigh
bor”.
All adults able to do so will be
allowed to contribute one dollar
toward the cost of the X-ray film,
Mrs. Andrews reported. “But no
one will be urged. The important
things is that everyone take ad
vantage of this opportunity to de
tect early stages of the three most
important disease killers—Tuber
culosis, Cancer, and Heart disease.
Because a chest X-ray is one of
the best known means of early
detection, this territory-wide pro
gram is being sponsored not only
by the Alaskan Department of
Health, but also by the Alaska
(Christmas Seal) Tuberculosis
Association, the Alaska Division
of the American Cancer Society
and various Alaska Heart Asso
, ciation chapters.”
