Ready for tenants Park Plaza is more than 98 percent complete on the first two floors and ready for tenants, according to Lloyd Uppe, architect, for the renovation program undertaken at the historic Park Hotel. Stressful type jobs varied By PAUL RAEBURN AP Science Writer NEW YORK (AP) If you had to guess whose jobs cause the most stress-related illnesses, you might say doctors, or police officers, or corporate executives. If you did, you'd be wrong. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, laborers top the list, with secretaries fight behind. The top 10 includes waiters and waitresses, farm owners and office managers.

Health professionals rank somewhere between 10 and 20, and police and top executives are further down the list. Air traffic controllers, who that they have very jobs, were not Ranked, probably because Ithere are too few of them. But walkout has brought the of job-related stress into public eye again. Stress is a contributing in 90 percent of all 'diseases, according to Dr. Greenspan, director iof the Center for Stress Related Disorders at New iVork's Presbyterian Hospital.

as many as half of all visits to doctors are related, he said. 'High blood pressure, a condition commonly associated with stress, afflicts almost 24 million Americans. Four million Americans have ulcers, and more than 16 million have heart conditions. The fact is stress attacks both the mind and the body. Humans share with animals a psychological-physiological emergency system known as the fight-flight response an automatic response to trouble, suspected trouble or uncertainty.

It can be triggered by a confrontation with an enemy or just the crackle of a twig in the underbrush. "The first stage is psychological a feeling of tension," said Michael Smith, chief of motivation and stress research at the National Institute for Occuational Safety and Health. "That triggers a hormonal reaction with an instantaneous effect, increasing heart rate and breathing," he said, Veins and arteries near the skin tighten up, reducing blood flow. "The body is trying to make sure if you get cut you don't bleed (excessively)." Those symptoms occur within one to five minutes, Smith said, bringing the body to a high level of energy. Then the body drops to a moderate level, where it can remain indefinitely.

"If you don't bring that level down within a day or so, it starts to have a cumulative effect on the muscles of the body, particularly the heart," he said. The muscles and the blood system eventually are worn down, and the digestive system is affected, causing indigestion and possibly ulcers. In 1978, a study sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration found that air controllers were twice as likely as other people to drink after work and two to four times as likely to develop hypertension high blood pressure. Boston University psychiatrist Dr. C.

David Jenkins, one of the directors of that study, said the controllers deal with life and death situations, they must maintain constant vigilance, and they cannot relieve tension by fighting or escaping. According to Washington, D.C., stress management consultant Deana Goldstein, middle managers suffer more EYE OPENERS Q. Why were my new glaaata more expensive than my husband's? A. Everyone's eyes are different. Some of us need more complicated prescriptions that may cost more.

Your doctor of optometry can tell you if that is the Case with you. If your vision needs require it, you will have to live with a higher basic cost for your glasses but you can often save on options. Costs are higher for designer frames or lenses that are large; plastic; tinted; or of special design, such as "invisible bifocals" or sun- sensitive lenses. Some options are worth the cost in terms of both fashion and ease of seeing. Discuss the options with your doctor of optometry after your vision examination.

"The more pressure you're under and the less control you have of the situation, the more stress you have," he said. "If you're chairman of the board, you'll have less stress." A secretary, on the other hand, whose job is delegated by the boss, has little control. "She's left with the job, has no control and no knowledge of the reason for it." Greenspan defines stress as an individual's response to the demand for change.

It is neither good nor bad, but uncontrolled, it can produce distress and illness. Stress also can have beneficial effects, too, helping people to grow and change. Jobs are not the only sources of stress, of course. Two U.S. researchers ranked various "life events" in terms of how much stress they cause, based on hundreds of interviews with people who had gone through these experiences.
