By JOAN KINGSBURY Staff Correspondent ® The arrival of autumn with its brisk, cool days and beautifully colored leaves also signals the arrival of the fall crops. Apples, pumpkins, and winter squash reach maturity providing a nice change from the summertime fruits and vegetables. Apples are a good bargain. Crun- chy, sweet and natural, they make the perfect snack. Calorie wise they are a dieter’s friend containing only 80 caleries per medium apple. The varieties are many: MacIntosh, Delicious, Rome, Cortland, Spy. Apples are much cheaper when purchased by the bushel or basket. But with a large amount of apples to use up the cook might want to try some new ways to create delicious apple dishes.

Less risk with aspirin An aspirin a day could reduce the risk of heart attack significantly for thousands of men with coronary artery disease, according to a Vet- erans Administration study reported of Medicine. The cooperative study, conducted at 12 VA medical centers across the country, involved 1,266 men with unstable angina (new or changing pain associated with coronary artery disease), a condition that seriously increases the risk of heart attack and death. All patients who met the study criteria were treated initially in coronary care units and then were followed for 12 weeks. Half of them received: 324: mg. of aspirin (the amount in a single tablet) adminis- tered daily in a buffered solution. The control group received only the buffered solution with no aspirin, H. Daniel Lewis, Jr., M.D., of the Kansas City VA Medical Center and Chairman of the Cooperative Study Group said that aspirin reduced the incidence of heart attack and death causing any gastrointestinal side effects. Dr. Lewis stressed that the treat- ment has been shown to be of value only in a specific group of patients and that it should be administered only by a physician in a hospital setting. “Nevertheless,” he added, ‘‘coro- nary artery disease is the leading cause of death in this country and unstable angina often precedes the heart attacks that can cause death or disability in these patients. “With its low cost and low risk, the use of aspirin could be benefi- with unstable angina,” he said.
