With New Heart- 7'm Going to Live to Be Sy TOM TlEDi Stiff WAYNE, Mtch. Last Be- cember Donald Kamtosky went to the University of Michigan medical center for the final word on his heart condition. The word was grim. Spcetalitte told was dying, that he had only three other alternatives: one, continue medication and survive possibly another year; two, have a pair of new valves inserted into his heart and run an 80 per cent risk of operational death; three, cut the old heart out completely and put in a new one with a 50-50 chance of success. Today, MVM later, 39-year-old Den Kamintky glad I took third choice.

Heck, I'd probably be in the grave if I didn't." Kaminsky, one of 19 surviving heart transplant patients in the United States, and one of 32 in the world, is hardly in the grave. Me says, "1 never felt so good in my life. Man, 1 feel 10 years young. 1 can walk as far as want, I can run, too. 1 eat like a hog, sleep like a log let me tell you, I'm having a ball." at the U.M, medical center are "overjoyed" with his progress.

In succeeding checkups (he goes in for a physical once a month) no complications have been found. His medicine has been reduced from 200 pills a day immediately after the transplant to a current nine. His pulse, respiration and stammina are good. "Kaminsky," says one medico, "is alive and well and probably off fishing." And if not fishing, adds Kaminsky himself, then something, anything else. Herald, la.

Wednetday, July 16, 1969 "Man, I'm raising 1 mean I'm doing whatever I want to do. Nothing seems to bother me now. "I walk a mile every mem ing before breakfast. 1 can climb up any flight of stairs you name. I can fish all day and then go into the nearest town and drink booze all the rest of the night.

"1 even smoke. A pack a day. It's O.K. seven of the nine heart specialists at the University smoke. They told me as long as I kept it moderate, it'd be all right.

So only one pack a day. And I feel great." How Don Kaminsky feeU is a bright light in the otherwise dim corridors of human heart transplants. Seventy- Memories of the Older Generation By HAL BOYLI NEW YORK (AP)-Every generation manufactures its own dreams and its own memories. They change with each generation, of course, because time inevitably changes everything. And they contribute to the widening of the generation gap.

One wonders what memories this present generation will wind up with when it comes to the end of the read. Will they be better, worse, or mere bittersweet than our own? No one can tell. But one thing we do know. Today's youth won't be able, as many older folks now can, to look back and remember Every small town hotel kept a coil of rope beside the Gideon Bible so that, in case of fire, you could tie it to a bedstead and shinny down from the nearest window to safety. When a man was considered people said of him, "He ain't worth the powder it'd take to blow him to hell." The ambition of every small boy was to be able to buy a cheap metal ring emblazoned with a snake wrapped around a human skull.

Among the girls, or 1 tnmhovs dared to wear More people worried about property taxes than income taxes. What frightened kids about starting kindergarten was the legend spread by older children that the principal kept a spanking machine in his office. Perhaps the best checker players in America were city firemen and rural courthouse loafers. Both had plenty of spare time in which to perfect their game. The quickest way for a stranger to find out what was going on in crossroads village was to get a haircut.

The barber's information might not be quite up-to-date but his suspicions The best way to see the world was to join the Navy, but if you just wanted to hear about it, you dropped into a hotel and listened wide-eyed as traveling salesmen spun their yarns. Scarcer than a hen's tooth was a big league ballplayer who didn't keep a cud of chewing tobacco in his cheek. College professors existed largely on their meager teaching salaries. Few business firms paid them consulting fees, because professors were thought too absent-minded to deal with practical affairs. The two best places for romancing a girl were the local cemetery or the last row of balcony seats in the movie theater.

More people drank from tin cups than paper cups. A modern home was one in you pumped a new player piano with your feet instead of playing an old-fashioned one by Undertakers in small communities advertised by distributing free cardboard fans. Grocers gave away calendars, gave away calendars. If you asked the average American what a discotheque was, he'd probably guess it was a French discus thrower. Happiness was running to capture fire flies in one of mother's old fruit jars on a warm summer night, while chatting grownups watched porch.

Not Kaminsky, however. "You know," he says, "I've read about most of the other guys (other transplant recipients) and you know what? I think they all worry too much.

They get depressed or something, and they get the feeling they won't make it. "Personally, I don't let thing bother me. I got a second lease on life. I know it and I ain't got time to sit around moping. I'm going to make it.

I'm going to live to be 70 and that's all I care about." Kaminsky's attitude has been of enormous therapeutic value. And though heart specialists cannot confirm his life expectancy prediction, none of those who operated on him suggests it isn't possible. Besides, as one medical observer says, even if the man doesnU live to be 70, "the way he's going it'll probably seem that way." Divorced and financially stable (his $43,000 medical bills have been paid by several sources), he is free to pursue any interest. He has become a minor celebrity in the state (along with two other surviving Michigan heart recipients). He boats, swims, rides horses and puts 4,000 miles on his car every month.

As he says, he's making up for lost time: "Before, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I couldn't walk 10 feet. I was salesman, but I couldn't seH. I was walking dead, yew know? I'd look at myself in the mirror and I knew I was i "But look at me now.

I've gained 35 pounds. I eat pizza, hot dogs, steak. I drink beer. Man, I'm healthy. I really feel like a kid again." And, he adds, he means to stay this way.

"Now don't get me wrong, I ain't just going crazy. I watch myself, I pace myself. If I get tired, I slow down. If I don't know something, I check with the doctors. In other words, I take care of myself now.

That's the best thing I learned from all this, you know, taking care of myself. I wish everybody could learn that. you know, if everybody learned just that one thing, then we wouldn't have to have no heart transplants at all."
