PRESS, Binghamton, N. Y. 11 Sat, July 17, 1971 Wm jl llffe I II D. C. Block Parties Fight Hypertension Ponfidant Living sorhii FISCBST PEALE JBflh Do you feel good about life today or are you glum and unexpectant? The late Governor Cross of Connecticut used to say a very enigmatic but fascinating thing every morning.

No matter what kind of day it was the first thing he would say to his family was, "It's a beautiful day for it." That might mean something different to each person, but the idea was that the day was there to grasp and make the most of. Today can be a beautiful day for it, if you meet it with excitement and enthusiasm. You can be vital, healthy, and alive in body, mind, and spirit. Joseph Krimsky, author of "The Wonder of Man" is a dis-tinguised medical doctor who has a great sense of wonder about the nature of man. He believed the way man thinks is fundamental to every aspect of daily living.

He says, "The strongest bulwarks against invading disease germs are the inner defenses, the normal, natural forces within us that stand guard against the infiltrating and attacking hordes of the enemy germs and viruses. "These natural defenses are physical, social, psychic, and moral. The modern term for this complex of forces is psy-chomatic the concept of an integrated and interrelated body and mind. It has been demonstrated scientifically that emotional tensions, emotional stresses and strains, may produce chronic depression and fatigue with the lowering of bodily resistance to infection and disease. "Prolonged anxiety and worry uncontrolled passion and temper, the high pressure and tempo of present-day life will bring on degenerative changes in the heart, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs, together with hypertension and PRESS PHOTO BY GEORGE W1DMAN.

MY SWEET LORD Director David Robertson has an energetic group of singers and musicians that will provide a contemporary music Mass at 9 a.m. tomorrow at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Court and Fayette streets. The group earlier this week rehearsed such tunes as "Put Your Hand in the Hand," "I -Don't Know How to Love Him," "Amazing Grace," and "My Sweet Lord." WASHINGTON (AP) "Hi, Ho! Come to the block partyand get your blood pressure taken!" That's the slogan of a Georgetown University medical team in announcing plans Friday to "mix block parties and church-going in an all-out attack against hypertension in Washington's inner city." The doctors plan to offer free blood-pressure tests to ghetto area residents at block parties and following Sunday church services. Declaring the incidence of hypertension or high blood pressure is three times as high among the black population as Heritage Of Poles Advertised DETROIT (AP) Charging "There were just too many Polish jokes going around," a millionaire Polish-American is launching a $30,000 campaign to emphasize the contributions Poles have made.

Edward J. Piszek, 54, said he selected Detroit as the first city for his campaign because of its large Polish-American population, estimated at between 300,000 and 500,000. Piszek, president and founder of Mrs. Paul's Kitchen in Philadelphia which markets frozen foods said he was financing an advertising campaign to begin in the Detroit Free Press next September. It will highlight the contributions, heritage and accomplishments of Poles in America and around the world.

One ad, for example, will read, "Seven centuries ago, a Polish king knew that men could differ and yet live productively, and did something about it The ad will cite the 13th century Polish edict granting equal protection under the lav to Jews. "I thought it time to stand up and do something positive," said Piszek. Piszek said he promoted the educational-type campaign be cause too many young Pol- Stephenson Quits Post At Mohawk Dr. Nordstrom Enters Drug Treatment Debate in others, the doctors indicated they hope their idea for finding undetected cases and bringing them to treatment will spread throughout the country. Dr.

Frank A. Finnerty, head of the university's cardio-vasscular group at D.C. General Hospital in the heart of the capital's inner city, said block parties will be held three times a week in different neighborhoods, with the objective of testing every person 14 years or age and over. "There will be ice cream, hot dogs and fun at all the parties," says Finnerty. "The blood pressure test we give is free, and it doesn't hurt." Church pastors in the inner city are cooperating in the program, promising to urge church-goers to check in with a medical team after services.

Finnerty says hypertension is not only more prevalent among blacks than non-blacks, but appears earlier and more severely among blacks. The project is part of a national program, funded by the government's National Institutes of Health, to develop and evaluate different methods of detecting and treating hypertension. Fire-Ravaged Ship Is Safe ESBJERG, Denmark (AP) A fire-ravaged Danish ocean liner limped back here today after its 300 passengers had spent hours on the up-p unsheltered and windswept deck, comforting crying children in the darkness. The ship the England was en route from Esbjerg to Harwich, England, when a fire broke out in the engine room.

So if you start believing it's a beautiful day for it, then all your psychic forces will work together to make it just that. Get out and enjoy today and with that approach you will not only refresh your body but your mind as well. Liberate yourself, even briefly, from hum-drum routine and take a good long walk or jog your self to a healthy attitude.

Maybe it doesn't seem like a beautiful day for it, but sloshing along in the rain can be fun too, especially if after a summer shower there is a cloudburst of glorious sunshine. Get in tune with nature you can learn a lot from it. NILS ft NORDSTROM hopefully in a constructive vein." Dr. Nordstrom's own plan involves the "removal of all addicts from society in one fell swoop," placing them in isolation in hospitals and offering detoxification and rehabilitation services. Another part of his plan would be to "remove the profit from hard drugs" by "offering free drugs to all hard core drug addicts manifesting withdrawal symptoms." Dr.

Nordstrom predicts that using the quarantine and isolation plan, the drug epidemic would end in 30 days. controversies which are purely opinionated and of lesser consequence." But he said the drug problem is of such magnitude that "I cannot resist commenting, Courts ish-Americans were not proud bimonthly welfare of being Polisn.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING CLASSIFICATION DIRECTORY I SAILED on a ship from a Mediterranean port one time, and soon after Gibralter the Captain invited me to the bridge. It was a marvelous morning, sunlight shimmering on the water, blue skies overhead.

The long roll of the Atlantic made you realize you were out of the Mediterranean and on the ocean, but the sea was calm. "How's the weather ahead, Captain?" I asked. He laid a chart before me. Pointing to it he said, "Over there is a hurricane. If the speed and direction of the hurricane don't change, we will probably meet it Friday morning." "You mean we will be on the outer edge of it?" I asked hopefully.

"No," he told me grimly. "We shall go right through it." "But, you've got a fast ship. Why not go around it?" I asked. "We would lose two days," was his answer. "It would throw us off schedule.

But don't be concerned, the hurricane is only about 150 miles in area, and on the other side there is beautiful weather. Besides, we have a ship that can ride it out." Early on Friday morning I was practically knocked out of bed. I looked out at the black vastness of the ocean. Believe me, it was rough. The violence lasted until around two o'clock Fri-' day afternoon when we began to run out of the storm.

By midnight the moon was shining and the sea was calm again. The next day the captain said, "I've always lived by the philosophy that if the sea is smooth, it will get rough; if it is rough, it will get smooth. But with a good ship you can always ride it Well, it's about that way with life, isn't it? When you get into a storm you know it won't last forever. With faith you can ride it out. There is always fair weather ahead.

So never let your thinking deteriorate into apprehensive-ness. Don't let fear and worry get you down. Look big at life and remember, "It's a beautiful day for it." UTICA (AP) The president and chief executive officer of Mohawk Airlines, which plans a merger into Allegheny Airlines, announced Friday he will resign and accept a position as vice president of marketing for Hughes Air West airlines in California. Russell V. Stephenson announced his resignation at a board of directors meeting and said he will leave the Utica-based regional carrier Sept.

1. Dr. William P. Tolley, board chairman, will assume Stephenson's responsibilities July 26, while remaining chairman, a company spokesman said. Tolley, a former Bingham-tonian, was chancellor at Syracuse University for many years.

Stphenson will assume the post of assistant to the chairman of July 26, and remain in that job until he leaves. He had been president since 1968. Stephenson succeeded the late Robert E. Peach as president of the airline in 1968, when Peach was named chairman. Last year, Tolley succeeded Peach as chairman.

Peach remained as a consultant to Mohawk, but shortly after the Allegheny-Mohawk merger plan was announced, Peach committed suicide. Knauf Running For GOP Nod As County Clerk Richard H. Knauf of Binghamton said today he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Broome County Clerk. The job is held now by Republican Howard Davis, who is expected to seek reelection. Mr.

Knauf is a former Assemblyman and member of the old Broome County Board of Supervisors. In recent years, Mr. Knauf has run unsuccessfully for several local offices. In 1969, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the post of County Executive held now by Republican Edwin L. Crawford.

Indefinite Recess PITTSBURGH (AP) Contract talks between the Pittsburgh Press and its striking printers union recessed indefinitely Friday after a five-h negotiating session aimed at ending the two-month-old walkout. A Binghamton plastic surgeon who several weeks ago outlined a plan in Washington, D. he says will eradicate the national drug problem has injected himself into the controversy between Earl D. Butler and Carmen L.

Hall. Dr. Nils Nordstrom, said that on one hand, he feels Mr. Butler "is justified in stating that our present mode of attack on the drug problem is a 'complete and utter flop from beginning to On the other hand, Mr. Ball's rebuttal that 7,200 of 10,000 addicts treated in State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission rehabilitation centers over the past four years have been cured is commendable, Dr.

Nordstrom said, "if it applies to soft drug users only." Dr. Nordstrom recently appeared before the national Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse in Washington, D. to outline his proposals to eliminate the drug problem in this country. MR. BUTLER IS A former chairman of the Broome County Narcotic Guidance Council, former Assistant Broome County District Attorney, and former assistant to the state's task force against organized crime who now practices law in Vestal.

He criticized the state NACC program last week in a speech before the Endicott Rotary Club. It was at that time that Mr. Butler said the state NACC program "is a complete, utter flop" and said its residential treatment centers "ought to be closed down entirely." Mr. Ball, director of NACC's seven-county drug abuse prevention center in Binghamton, retorted by saying that Mr. Butler's criticism reflected "17th Century thinking" because of the lawyer's statement that the drug problem should not be considered as a medical problem.

Mr. Ball also pointed out that of 10,000 drug addicts the-state has attempted to rehabilitate in the four years NACC has been in operation, only 2,800 have returned to drugs. He said this is the highest rehabilitation rate in the country. DR. NORDSTROM SAID that "if Mr.

Butler was referring to hard drugs, I am in complete accord with his statement that our present efforts are futile, wasteful both in time and money." "If Mr. Ball's statistics are accurate (for soft drugs), they warrant accreditation, although, impressive as they are, they still remain unsatisfactory. What is needed is a total cure, not merely symptomatic treatment." Both Mr. Butler and Mr. Ball were speaking of addicts treated at NACC centers.

By far, the largest majority of them are heroin addicts (or hard drug users), although some are soft drug users.

No increase is being sought for "experience-rated" accounts, in which most Blue Shield subscribers are witness at a lightly attended state insurance department hearing called to hear testimony on Blue Shield's request for a rate increase. The increase would average 29.5 per cent for 104,000 subscribers in 10 counties. "IT IS NOT JUST higher charges by physicians for individual service which increase cost," Clancy contended. "More services are being rendered. "Greater technological advance means better health care, usually resulting in more services and always resulting in more cost," he added.

Clancy also said the shrinking financial reserves of Blue Shield necessitated the increases. The rate boosts would involve persons enrolled under "community-rated indemnity" plans that carry $4,000, $6,000, or $8,000 service benefits, medicare extended and stu- CLANCY, NOTING the turnout of less than a dozen persons at the public hearing, said the proposed increase "as in the past appears pretty well accepted."
