Speaker's Topic Asthma Elect Officers For 1970 binson; Mort Blair -- Brian| highest in the first decade of life during which time ap- proximately 309 of all cases become apparent. © During the second, third and fourth decades the rate of occurence is approximately constant with about 10% of all cases beginning in each decade. Onset during the fifth and sixth decade is less common and after the age of sixty relatively infrequent. Dr. Gray spoke of some of the ridiculous myths regard- ing the cure for asthma. There is a myth that states asthma occurs chiefly in so- called nervous people. Ap- parently there is no particu- lar type of person who de- velops asthma. The disease pccurs in the weak and the strong, the scrawny. and the corpulent, the phelgmatic & the temperamental--those of large and small stature, as well as the dark and light complexioned. There is a myth that indi- cates that asthma leads to emphysema. Dr. Gray stat ed that while emphysema may be associated with as- thma, evidence accumulated over the years indicate that asthma rarely, if ever, leads are open to the public. This Friday evening the local gals will be encoutering the Yel- verton team who will be at- tempting to break the win- ning streak of the Blackstock girls.

When the two conditions occur togeth- er, it usually happens to the person who has been smok- ing twenty cigarettes a day for twenty years or more, and therefore the patient has the setup for developing chronic "bronchitis and em- physema. The evidence on the other side of the coin points out that the non- smoking asthmatic does not develop emphysema. Dr. Gray in speaking of management of the patient, referred to asthma retrain- ing, reconditioning rehabili- tation programmes for child- ren and adults. Programmes consists of education to the patient as well as the parents and families. The effect on the latter may be the great. est benefit of the program. In any event the asthmatic becomes better adjusted, more involved in social and athletic activities. In addi- tion they lose less time from work and school, have fewer hospital admissions, doctors' visits and reduced medication reauirements. - It is found that fear less- ens, control improves, confi- dence grows and though the myths and mysteries persist the patient accepts his di- se>se better and adjusts to life more normally.
