Rural Development Act boosts USDA funding drive
Washington AP reports that since the 1973 Rural Development Act funding, the Agriculture Department can sharply increase support for local rural projects. Asst. Secretary William Erwin notes a chart showing potential 1974 spending growth, but final totals hinge on White House budget office allotments. The act unified USDA rural programs under one head and was signed in 1972, awaiting funding for fiscal 1974.

Medical note on patient with fast heart rate
A 35 year old male reports doctors say his heart is fast. Resting heart rate measured around 80 beats per minute with repeated checks.
Heart rate doubts and hiatal hernia clarified
Reader letters discuss whether a faster heart rate shortens life and whether anxiety or thyroid disease could cause it. Dr Thosteson explains 80 plus is likely fine, treats underlying conditions if present, and notes hiatal hernia can mimic heart disease but is identifiable by X rays. Additional letters cover contact lens irritation and tempering tropical climate myths about blood.
