In a telephone statement from Scottsdale, the vacationing mayor took responsibility for the ouster of Chester Magr. uder, chairman; and members Albert Braeckel, Charles Wilson, and Chester Chickering without prior notice.

He denied, however, that their release had any connection with their favorable vote for giving five acres of park land as a site for a $483,000 National Guard armory. The proposal subsequently was tabled by the city council and board members speculated -it was the reason they were replaced.

Circuit Judge Douglas W. Greene said he already has discussed ed the proposal with the group's president, Dr. P.

Judge Greene said he had spoken to Dr. Ciccone about the problem because he felt that rising costs of the care of indigents, especially in the field of mental health, "should be referred to a group whose designated purpose is to take responsible action in that field."

Monday in Aurora Community Hospital following a long illness. HARRY J. MILLER sponsibilities, in the area, the judge said, and also with doctors, hospital administrators and others in order to decide on and propose "reasonable alternatives to the present sys. tem." There already is a diagnostic center in Greene, County, Judge Greene noted, it now is limited to examination of children for mental retardation. It might Bishop Heart Check Would Help NEW YORK- This is Heart Month, and the American Heart Association entreats writers to say something on the subject.

First of all, every month should be heart month. More people die of heart disease than of cancer and a combination of other ailments: over a million people a year. It is an irony that most people will see their dentist at least once a year, but nobody sees a cardiologist until after an attack. Bad teeth hurt; bad hearts may be painless. Everyone over 30 years of age should visit a qualified cardiologist once year for an evaluation.

The trend is toward preventing attacks, not correcting them. Sometimes the layman is confused by medical terms. The heart, as a pump, is seldom in trouble unless the patient has a congenital defect or sustains damage resulting from rheumatic fever. The pump raps out over 100,000 beats a day, and, between squeezes, spends more time resting than beating. But and this is the point prefer to stress the heart pumps blood through a closedcircuit system called the vascular structure.

This is where we get the term "cardio vascular" one cannot exist without the other. The heart pumps about six quarts of blood through arteries and veins, which lead to tiny branches, and there they bring nourishment to the billions of cells in the human body, and take the garbage back from each cell to the kidneys for filtering and to the lungs for aerat. ing. If all of the arteries and veins lit up at once you could stand on your head and look like the world's greatest Christmas tree. What happens if a little bit of dirt gets in the gasline of your car? The engine coughs, struggles and dies.

This is what happens when fat gets loose in your arteries. If the amount is large enough, it floats on the stream until it gets to the heart and wham 1 a cough, a spin, darkness. The best reason for visiting your local cardiologist is to hear him say: "I see nothing wrong." The second best is for him to say: "Your blood fats are high, but we will bring them down before anything can happen." The tragic truth about heart attacks is that only one third of the patients reach the hospital alive. Fats come in two categories: cholesterol and triglycerides. Having too much of either is akin to a hand grenade hidden in your chest.

Normal cholesterol runs a count of 150 to 250. A recent test by Dr. Paul Maas revealed mine to be 195. Triglycerides, dangerous little trains of fat, are normal if they run between 74 and 172. Mine came up 117, so I'm not heart conscious.

Fats sometimes adhere to the walls of arteries and narrow the sluices. These fats are called plaques. Collectively, they are called atherosclerosis. Everyone 30 or over has some of it, so don't be alarmed. All problems are caused by too much of anything.

An aneurism is something else. It is a weakened wall of an artery in the body or brain. It pouches out like a blister on an be possible to have the facility expanded to take care of the examination of indigents to determine competency, Judge Greene noted. In connection with the mental health center he mentioned earlier, the judge said he understood the land already has been purchased and that cooperation of state, local and federal authorities might result in the erection of the center. "It would be a valuable community asset," Judge Greene noted.

The need for such a facility has been mentioned many times by various officials, and Judge Greene said many representatives have called him to say they wanted to help. "This isn't just a county problem," Judge Greene said. "Medical costs and other costs incidental to welfare are bankrupting the state, county and federal governments. Patients committed to Fulton State Hospital cost the county only 6 percent of their total cost of care, the judge noted, while the county must pay 85 percent of the total for local care. However, one problem is transportation to and from Fulton and other state hospitals, and doctors who perform the examinations must then come here to testify.

Judge Greene, whose action was prompted by a recent hospital bill he refused to approve, said he has consulted on the I problem with Probate Judge Don Burrell, who was out of town earlier. "It's by no means a clear-cut Judge Greene empha; sized. "There are a number of things that are going to have to be explored, and possibly additional legislation is needed to clarify some of these things. But we just can't continue to pay over $30,000 a year merely for examination of persons alleged to be mentally ill. The county just doesn't have this kind of money.

TWO 16-year-old runaway boys taken into custody separately were turned over to relatives today.

In moments of stress, the heart beats faster and harder; the weakened wall explodes, and the patient has what is called "a stroke" or, if it is in a chest artery, diesalmost at once.
