THE NEWS.-TELEGRAM, Sulphur Springs, Tqxos. Tuesday, April 29,1980—3.
ByArma Bom beck
A friend of ours called the other night and with as
tnuch diplomacy as he could muster asked. “What's
the matter with your son? I saw him at the garage and
he looked like a budget deficiency.”
He was not the first to notice our son’s shabby
clothes, hollowed eyes, and concave billfold hanging
out of the hole in his back pocket.
The explanation is quite simple. Our son is the sole
support of a “classic” car.
For the uninitiated, a classic car is an automobile
that has died, but has been given so many reasons to
live, no one has the guts to bury it.
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact day when the car
went from a “rundown heap” to "classic" status ...One
day it was propped up on cement blocks in the
driveway, the object of a lot of kicking and cursing,
and the next day my son was trying to restore it to
what it never was. It seems the transition occurred
about the time when all the cars of that make
manufactured during that year were recalled and his
was the only one that could be towed without catching
fire. To him this was a sign from God that it had been
conceived in Detroit and was destined for a happy
death.
One thing is sure'... when it goes, it will go in style.
The wheels are no longer “standard” and have to be
specially ordered. The transmission is available only
in a small town in Czechoslovakia behind the Iron
Curtain. The only mechanic who can remember how
to tune it up winters in Barbados and sees it by ap-
pointment only. There is a two-year wait for bat-
teries. It gets a half block to the gallon and needs a
special weight oil distributed only from Iran.
Anything that doesn’t work on it is referred to as
“quaint.” The heater is quaint. The door that only
opens from the outside is quaint. The window that
doesn’t go up is quaint.
As a mother, I worry about my son’s physical,
monetary' and emotional ties to the car. It has, con-
sumed him. It’s the Melissa Manchester concert he
couldn’t afford... the tennis racket that is on hold. ..
the clothes that he passes by. Heaven help me, that
heap is my first grandchild.
He has lost all sense of perspective. The other night
I was cheered when he said he met a girl who is like no
one I have ever seen. He had known her for years but
passed her by and never noticed. For the first time he
found someone he would like to invest time and
money in. He said she was a “classic.”
If she’s “quaint," we can’t afford her.

Wise to take precautions
DEAR DR LAMB - I’m a
24-year-old female and I’m
very concerned about my
health and preventing heart
problems My grandfather
aod uncles had histories of
heart attacks at very young
ages My father died of a
heart attack at age 52 He was
in excellent health and had no
previous heart problems
With this family back-
ground, I want to do as much
You are wise to exercise
The real value of exercise is
that it heips in weigh: control
This, in turn, often helps to
lower cholesterol and blood
pressure — two important
risk factors in causing heart
disease

Prevent Heart Attacks and
Strokes It includes the gener-
al principles of low-fat. iow-

In the event that a person's
blood pressure and cholesterol
or either cue remain high
after adequate dietary and
exercise measure have been
initiated, thee medicines may
be in order I prefer for peo-
ple u> try adequate weight
control diet aod sensible
exercise, however, before
resorting to using medicines
If these are successful, very
often methanes are not neces-
sary
as I can to prevent these I
know that exercise and diet
are important I jog three
miles about three times a
week and swim three to five
miles a week. I try to keep as
active as possible Please
advise me about a sensible
diet, especially foods that are
wise to cut down or avoid.
What are the chances of my
developing a heart problem
with the family background I
kave?
DEAR READER - You’re
wise to take cognizance of
your family history. It’s true
that some families have a
tendency to have heart
attacks early in life. You have
one big advantage — bong
female. It's uncommon for
women during tbe childbear-
ing yean to develop heart
disease Ike exceptions are
women wko have diabetes,
high Mood pressure or kidney
disease usually associated
with high Mood pressure
Nevertheless, once a wom-
an paws the childbearing
years, her tendency to develop
fatty cholesterol deposits in
the coronary arteries often

ally, she kas jast as much of a
i a man does
cholesterol diets that people
should follow for dietary help
in lowering cholesterol to heip

Hi Connie My mother
