Statistics compare to Texas rates of 41.4 percent death rate of cardiovascu-
lar deaths (CVD). StatfcUci provided by the American Heart Association
Almost 3 Of 5 Swisher
Deaths Heart Problems
Almost three of every five Swisher County deaths in 1990 were attrib-
uted to cardiovascular-related ailments!
This county’s 57.8 percent—52 of 90 deaths—is far higher than the
stale’s 41.4 percent of all deaths due to this cause.
For 1990, the latest year figures are available from tin American Heart
Association, only Hartley (63.9 percent) and Collingsworth (59.3 percent)
among the 26 Texas Panhandle counties had a higher percentage ratio than
Swisher.
By contrast, nine of the Panhandle counties had percentages lower than
the slate. For anyone wishing to avoid heart problems in 1990, Roberts County
may have been the safest, with only 2 of 8 deaths being as a result of heart
problems. Hansford County had only 15 of 49, 30.6 percent.
Fifty-one thousand, 738 of Texas' 125,019 deaths during calendar year
1990 were cardiovascular-related, according to the American Heart Associa-
tion numbers.
The rate in Texas has shown a decline of approximately 6 percent since
1980, when 51.077 of the 108,018 deaths were attributed to cardiovascular
ailments: a 47.3 percent rate.
Even more encouraging was the fact that by 1985 the rate had dropped
to44.4 percent, and the 1989 rate was41.8 percent, with 52,118 deaths among
124,563 total.

was reported as a runaway.

sion (of alcoholic beverages) charges
were filed against an individual stopped

Seventy-six incidents were reported
during the week which ended Monday
Caring For Pregnant Cat fed
A lot of physical changes take place during a cat’s pregnancy. Yes, "little
mother" will do what has to be done by herself, but the cat owner can
contribute to making the pregnancy and delivery healthy and normal. During
the last half of pregnancy, the queen's food intake should be increased by 20
to 30% over normal. She should be fed more frequently, as well; up to three
times a day. If a cat is eating a balanced diet, supplementation with vitamins
and minerals is not necessary. Over supplementation can lead to nutritional
imbalances. Supplementation should be undertaken only under a
veterinarian’s supervision. Medication should also be given only under a
veterinarian's direction. Some drugs can interfere with fetal development.
Moderate exercise is good for a pregnant queen and will help to make
delivery easier. Most cats will regulate themselves as their size increases; the
fetuses are very well cushioned and will not be hurt by normal activity.
