A I i ff' i r' s- -i NEW YORK, (P) One of the mysterious things about the mysterious East is that comparatively few Chinese have heart disease or ulcers. This cheerful fact is partly responsible for a boom in Chinese restaurants.

People come to them in the hope that if they eat like the Chinese they'll feel as good as the Chinese. "Now there are more than a thousand Chinese restaurants around New York," said Jimmy Yoeng, a patriarch in this field. Jimmy, a smiling, ageless gnome who weighs only HO pounds with a chopstick in eacii hand, is perhaps the man here who did most to transform the The new line of Plymouth automobiles, with outstanding mechanical improvements and up-to-the-minute styling, make their appearance in dealer showrooms here and throughout the United States Friday, Leflore Auto Co Union Motor Co. and Wood Motor Co. announced today.

The Greenwood Dodgers will open at home against Greenville on Tuesday, April 19th and will meet the Bucks again on the 30th. The Dodgers then take the road for eight games before returning for a scries with Helena. The Dodr gers will be at home pn ten Sundays during the season. Double-headers are scheduled for three of these Sunday dates. Other double headers will be added if necessitated by early season postponements.

Starting time for Dodger tiits at Legion Field will be 8:00 p. m. for single night games, 6:30 p. m. for evening doubleheaders, 3:00 p.

m. for single games on Sunday, with Sunday doubleheaders beginning at 2:30 p. m. Although not definitely decided upon, it is probable that the opening game of evening doubleheaders will lie seven innings with the nine inning game following. This procedure would eliminate to a great extent playing during the twilight period when players have so much trouble following ball.

Scores of other contingents, sons, grandsons and great-grandsons of the Emerald Isle and a hundred bands, fife and drum anil bugle corps get into the act that reaches from 44th to 9Gth Street. The parade is only a part of the celebrations in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland. Dozens of parties and dances are scheduled tonight and tomorrow night.

More than a million spectators are expected to line the street as the green-splashed line of maixh-ers moved along to the rhythm of Celtic airs. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Mayor William O'Dwyer and other public dignitaries will be in the reviewing stand. Not quite getting' into the spirit of things, the weather bureau says the day will be cloudy, with occasional snow fluz-ries.

"Thirty to forty years ago many decent people wouldn't go into a Chinese restaurant," ne smiled. "They didn't think it was respectable. All that is changed now. Today, Yoeng said, only "newcomers and schoolchildren" order the twin standbys of the oldtime Chinese restaurant chop suey and chow mein.

"People now want to eat real Chinese dishes the diches we eat ourselves." His own favorite is chow sang gai pan, described on his Lun Bar Restaurant menu as "fresh white meat of chicken deliciously sauted with hearts of bok choy, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, fresh mushrooms and a touch of ginger."

When released, the key automatically returns to "ignition position. The device is not only a driver convenience, but makes it impossible for children to move cars which are parked and left in gear by accidentally pushing the starter button.

A new fresh air car heater, which steps up defrosting and more readily removes window fog, is available in three models. Located under the hood, the new heater operates quietly and is easily installed. It may be used in warm weather as a fresh air circulator. New seat cushion construction allows the addition of extra spring coils to reduce the softness of the cushion and to provide greater support, if needed. There are numerous improvements in the new Plymouth's electrical and lighting system.

Headlights equipped with a bulis-eye lins in the center of the sealed-beam lens provide substantially increased light output. Plastic lenses have been installed in the stop, tail, and parking lights. The lenses are more resistent to breakage, and provide better sealing at points where dust and dirt might enter. A neiv enclosed circuit breaker, interchangeable with those used on other Chrysler Corporation cars, eliminates the need for replacing lighting system fuses. The addition of a 10,000 ohm suppressor permits the use of a larger initial sparkplug gap, resulting in improved idling and low sjeed, light load performance.

The push-pull type of switch fot headlights, panel lights and heater has been replaced with rotary-action, dust-proof switches, and a new magnetic-type fuel gauge gives immediate reading when the ignition switch is turned on.

"I order the meals for many of them. After I talk to them a few minutes I can tell what is good for them." Jimmy believes Cantonese cooking-is the healthiest in the world because of its variety, and because it always combines vegetables with meat. "In American cooking meat is usually fried, baked or broiled," he said. "But Chinese cooks can prepare meat from 50 to 75 different ways." Yoeng thinks there is no place in the world for gourmets like Canton, his old home town southern China. "There is nothing anywhere to equal its shark fin soup.

But it is expensive $30 a bowl." Jimmy is convinced after a lifetime in the business that Americans eat too much and too often. "No one can really understand your digestion but yourself," he said. "If your digestion is poor, eat more vegetables. If it is good, then you can eat more meat. Sometimes people complain that two hours after they eat ir.

a Chinese restaurant they are hungry again. They should be grateful for that." Jimmy's solution for all mankind's stomach ills is "moderation." For people who need building up he has a preparation ot chicken, ginger, garlic and special kind of dark vinegar imported from China. "I take it myself," he said. "I'm getting to an age where I need it. After two bowls, I feel wonderful." Aside from a diet high in herbs and vegetables, he feels Chinese are safeguarded against heart ailments because they don't fret as much as the worry-prisoners of the western world.

The new Plymouth line includes nine distinct automobiles. There are four special deluxe and two ieluxe types on a 118-inch wheel-base, one inch longer than last year's. In addition, Plymouth will build three deluxe models on a brand new 111-inch wheelbase. This "wheelbase group consists ot a two-door sedan, a three-passenger coupe, and a new body type, the Suburban.

Engine performance and efficiency has been improved with a new design cylinder head which increases compression ratio to i to 1. A new chrome plated compression piston ring reduces cylinder wear and provides greater protection during the break-in period. There are improved oil rings for greater oil economyt while a newly-designed intake manifold induces quicker, smoother engine warm-up and produce-faster response to throttle opening. The longer wheelbase allows a "cradled ride," as passengers are more nearly centered between the axles. Another contribution toward smooth riding qualities is the addition of diagonally-mounted shock absorbers, at the rear of the car, greater rebound control in the front shock absorbers, and the newly designed rubber limit bumpers.

The new shock absorbers also allow greater road clearance and reduce sidesway. Interior design of the Plymouth provides many driver and passenger comforts and conveniences. Sedans have the rear door hinged from the center post for easy entrance and exit. The seats, front and rear, have a three-pillow cushion while seat backs have a full pillow on each side and three vertical pipes in the center.
