mice have been overrunning
towns and farms that butchers
haven't sold cats' meat for

Now the mouse diet has be-

cats have grown tired of killing
them!
And when Pussy's in trouble

ered to the animal as workmen
bored a hole in the eight-inch
concrete. The cat came out
alive and well, of course.
With all this consideration and
comfort, it's not surprising to
hear a report of a singing cat!
This is Leonora, eleven-year-old

Let us first consider the ere
feet of exercise upon the heart,
Exercise cane for more work to
be done by the heart, and this
is compensated for by an in-
creased flow of blood through
the vessels that feed the heart.
These .arteries which feed the
heart do not connect with each
other, so. if one of these vessels
is blocked quickly, the muscle
which feeds it receives no blood.
If, however, the blockage is
slow, the heart changes its blood
vessel pattern by forming con-
nections between the narrow
vessel and another one. These
connections cannot he formed
rapidly,
If an individual has been tak-
ing a relatively constant amount
of exercise over a period of
years, and has had a slow nar-

New York (NSA) - In the
United States, as throughout the
world, medical scientists are de-
voting much time and study to
the factors of heredity and ex-
ercise in the development of
atherosclerosis, known to lay-
men as "hardening of the arter-
ies."
As has been told in earlier in-
stallments of this series, we are
concerned with the process by
which the arteries become nar-
rowed, roughened and hardened,
setting the stage for such events
as heart attacks and strokes.
This narrowing starts as a de-
posit of fatty material, but, as
time, passes, it takes on a more
complex structure and finally is
composed of not only fat but
also of scar tissue, calcium or
lime, and even small blood ves-
sels.
There are two groups of fac-
tors that control the develop-
ment of these deposits, or pla-
ques, their rate of growth and
position in the artery. Those
that make up the first group
are called, primary since they
occur to some extent in all of us,
These include certain anatom-
ical features of the arteries that

for this dish was supplied by
the home economists of Canada's

say that it is a good dish to have
in mind for the after-ski crowd.
The sandwiches can be assem-

hearty appetites, will enjoy dip-
ping, frying, and devouring
them.

Why Do Fish
Hit Lures
-Most fishermen assume they
cacth a fish on an artificial lure
because the fish is' hungry
enough to eat it. From Heddon's
Research Staff comes proof that
htinger'is only one of many rea-
sons a fish hits plugs.
Take, for example, occasions
when staff members have caught
largemouth bass with their
stomachs so full of craw fish
that the last one eaten still pro-
truded from the bass' throat.
And, white bass caught while
raiding schools of shad minnows
spew out of the basses' mouths
when laid on the bottom of the
boat. Bluefish, one of the best
sport fishes in saltwater, will
gorge themselves full, regurgi-
tate to empty their stomachs,
then gorge again, repeatedly.
So, based on the assumption
that when an animal's stomach
is full, hunger is sated, it appears
that some urge aside from
hunger moves these fish to feed
voraciously. It could be the kil-
ler instinct, inability to know
when its belly is full, or just
plain cussedness.
Also, take the trout . . . a fish
looked upon as one of the
daintiest feeders of all game fish.
Purist fishermen take them
on tiny flies about the size of
a match head, at the end of
leaders nearly as wispy as a
spider web. They believe all this
necessary to fool these smart,
sharp-eyed, wary fish.
Just reach for a can of sar-
dines and you're headed for one
of the tastiest main dishes or
snacks anyone could wish for.
According to the dictionary, a
sardine is any tiny fish with
rich flesh and weak bones, suit-
able for preserving in oil. Very
good are these little fish pre-
served in oil however, they are
also very good preserved in to-
mato sauce or in mustard sauce.
In addition to their fine flavour,
sardines are low in cost and
high in food value, two quali-
ties which make them ideal for
use in luncheon and supper
dishes such as the following two
recommended by the home econ-
omists of Canada's Department
of Fisheries.

Many physicians feel that the
important consideration is not
so.much the amount of exercise
that is taken by a person, but
rather the way in which this
exercise is' taken.
Regular and moderate exer-
cise can be beneficial. As one
grows older, however; it may
be necessary to reduce the
amount and type of activity.
Exercise taken at infrequent in-
tervals, such as violent sets of
tennis played by an office work-
er during his vacation, can be
quite another thing.
How much exercise do peo-
ple take? How much do they

are the subject of considerable
research today. Much more

His Serene Highness Prince
Rainier III of Monaco, the noted
husband and father, can trace his
ancestry well back into the mists
of European folk history. One
story is that in the year 972, a
ferocious Genoese warrior named
Grimellin Grimaldi scaled an
'unguarded cliff with several of
this followers and settled down in
what is now Monegasque terri-
tory. The Grimaldis have ruled
' there ever since, except for a
"brief interlude during the French
'Revolutipn and . First Empire,
and a hectic three-day period of
anarchy during the, present Gri-
maldi's wedding.
With a population of 22,000 in
his 0.57 - square - mile kingdom,
Rainier is also the last virtually
absolute monarch in Europe, No
law 'can be passed without his
approval. But these are parlous
days for absolutism, and the.
Prince has had to put up with
certain indignities. When two of
'his advisers were linked with an
$8,625;000 deficit in. ,Monaco's
leading bank in 1955, 'for ,ex-
ample, Rainer at first refused to
fire them. The National Coun-
cil, Monaco's eighteen - member
legislative chamber, threatened
to resign in protest, and 'the
Prince, bowing for the first .time
to an elected body, accepted 'the
erring ministers' resignation.
' Recently, the 'old order in
Monaco received a far „more
serious jolt. Elections to the Na-
' tional Council resulted in a
thumping victory for the Nation-
al. Union ,of Independents, a par-
ty whose primary aim is to curb
Rainer's authority.
With a majority of two in the
National Council, the Independ-
ents are expected to push, ahead
with constitutional reforms that
were drafted for Rainier's ap-
Trove' last October' (the Prince
is still studying -them). Rainier's
veto power over legislation will
probably remain intact for 'the
time being. But the council will
almost certainly try to assert its
authority over budgetary mat-
tees, including the Prince's pres-
ent annual stipend of 4285,714
out of the total national budget
of $9,523,809.
For the Prince and most of his
'subjects, though, the main order
•cd business was still the preser-
ation of the Grimaldi line,
which exempts the Monegasques
from French ,taxes. And with
Princess Grace radiantly await-
ing her • second child 'in March,
it seemed to matter very little
whether Rainier's successors
were absolute, 'constitutional, or -
merely decorative monarch. —

(Next week - Hypertension
a Major Factor)
If only primary factors were
operating, atherosclerosis would
not present a major health
problem. Unfortunately, they
are often complicated by one or
more secondary factors. One of
them is hypertension. While not
all high blood pressure is due' to
heredity, there is no doubt that
much of it is.
Other secondary factors are
also important and are either
known to be, or suspected of be-
ing inherited. These include
many diseases of metabolism.
An excellent example is diabe-•
tes, which, before the discovery
of insulin, frequently killed peo-
ple even before atherosclerosis
developed,
Some inherited conditions ,are
not evident unless searched for.
One is an inherited tendency to
show an increase in ,all blood
fats. In its usual and , mild form
it gives no symptoms, but over
the years' it does its damage un-
noticed. Fortunately, it can be
detected early if looked .for. It
can be effectively treated.
Another is 'an inherited tend-
