She taught music for many years in Putnam County schools, last at Clinton Center.

Queen- • Continued from page 1 hobbies include jogging and watching movies. She also loves to doodle. If she had to pick one person or experience that has had the most impact on her life so far, Miss Rowings singled out Mrs. Gloria Kaemmer’s high school English class. Although she “loves people,” Miss Rowings prefers not to meet them via “cruising” town, which she detests. WHAT SHE WOULD really love, of course is to represent Putnam County during its 1986 4H Fair. To reach the greatest number of people would require heavy media promotion, Miss Rowings suggests. That is the best way to get people out to attend the far in numbers. As evident from her musical involvement in high school, Miss Rowings says she “loves” music. She also loves pet cat, Kirby, who is termed her “favorite pet.” AND ALTHOUGH some may be timid when they reach the stage July 26 for the Putnam County Fair Queen Contest, Miss Rowings has a different approach. “I’ll try most anything once,” she said.

Senior focus Volunteers being sought

“RSVP Reflections,” Submitted by Mary Skidmore, RSVP director RSVP volunteers are the best recruiters for new members. They tell friends and relatives what a difference volunteering has made in their own lives and often persuade someone else to join the organization. So if you know of someone who is 60 or older, has time to spare and needs to become involved, introduce them to RSVP. The staff will try to match skills and abilities to a needed volunteer job in the community. Here is a sample of assignments currently available: LICENSED DRIVERS are needed to take patients to medical appointments out of the county. You might enjoy babysitting for Tot’s Time. The Aluminum Recycling Center needs volunteers on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9-11 a.m. and 11-1 p.m. Quilters are always welcome. Insert ad supplements in the Ban-ner-Graphic. VOLUNTEERS TO MAN the RSVP-Senior Center booth at the County Fair. Two volunteers are needed for each shift - 5-7 p.m. and 79 p.m. - July 28 through Aug. 1. Persons may call 653-3011 or drop in the office if interested. **• Heat is a killer. Most of the victims are elderly. Hot weather can place a dangerous strain on your body, especially your heart. If the burden is too great, heat can make you very sick or even kill you. Temperatures above 90 degrees can be dangerous, especially when the humidity is also high. YOUR BODY NEEDS time to adjust to hot weather. A sudden increase in temperature, especially in the early summer, is particularly dangerous because your body is unprepared for the strain. Heat stress can cause many medical problems including heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heart failure and stroke. Proper precautions can make you more comfortable, prevent illness and even save your life. Your chances of getting sick in hot weather are increased by: A weak or damaged heart, hypertension, problems with circulation, diabetes, a previous stroke, being overweight, infection or fever, diarrhea, drinking alcoholic beverages and skin diseases or sunburn which may reduce sweating. Many prescription drugs can make you much more vulnerable to heat. If you take medicine for high blood pressure, nervousness, depression, poor circulation or sleeping, check with your doctor or pharmacist for advice. HEAT STRESS CAN cause physical and mental changes. These changes are warning signs that your body is in danger. Some changes are more dangerous than others. Most people feel hot and uncomfortable during hot weather, and may notice a lack of energy or loss of appetite. These are mild signs, and unless they last a long time, there is no need to be alarmed. Other signs are more serious. If you experience any of these serious signs during hot weather call your doctor or seek other medical help. *•*

VOLUNTEERS ARE currently selling raffle tickets on a handmade quilt which will be given away Aug. 1 at the county fair. Madonna Underwood has donated a lovely crocheted afghan to be given as second prize. Tickets will also be available at the fair. They are $1 each. *** “Center Comments,” submitted by Hubert Clodfelter, president, Putnam County Council on Aging and Aged The United States Congress, especially the House of Representatives, has made a serious effort in 1986 to reorganize the administrative structure of Social Security. Their goal is to set up Social Security as an independent agency. If this is accomplished the general administration of the new Social Security Agency would be run by non-partisan professional administrators. This move would increase confidence of beneficiaries and potential recipients of Social Security benefits. HOUSE BILL 5050 has been approved by the House Ways and

Means Committee. It provides for setting up an independent nonpolitical agency to administer Social Security and it also has an important section which prohibits Social Security funds being spent for anything other than expenditures for legally approved Social Security benefits. House Bill 5050 includes specific language which bars any section of government from raiding the Social Security fund for any purpose. This section of the propsed law definitely prohibits the Treasurery Department of raiding the Social Security Fund as they did in 1984 and 1985. At that time it was thought necessary by several organizations, including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), of suing the Treasury Department for its illegal action. The several million dollars taken were subsequently returned to the Social Security fund and with interest. House Bill 5050 will now go to the full House of Representatives where it is expected to pass with a comfortable margin. If passed in the House, the issue will require Senate Action. The Senate has a companion bill-Senate Bill 17-which is comparable to House Bill 5050. The staff suggests you consider sending letters to Sens. Dan Quayle and Richard Lugar asking their support for Senate Bill 17 and Rep. John Myers asking his support for House Bill 5050. The addresses are: Sen. Dan Quayle, U.S. Senate, or Sen. Richard Lugar, U.S. Senate, both of Washington, D.C. 2Q510. Rep. John Myers, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington D.C. 20515. THE STORE ROOM, which is located on the second floor of the Senior Center, provides a valuable service for people of all ages in Putnam County. Used clothing and shoes are collected, sorted and given to anyone in need. Some of these items are new and most all are in good condition. Other household items are also available but on a limited scale and inlcude dishes, cooking utensils, toys, etc. The store room, at the present time, is in need of children’s clothing. “Hand-me-downs” could very well help some young mother clothe her little ones. The Store Room can always use items for adults. Why not clean out your closets and bring useful items to the Senior Center. People in need are urged to use the Store Room service. The operation is supervised by volunteers who will help with clothing selections. Township trustees and other organizations are invited to refer those in need to use the Store Room service. The Store Room will also provide new shoes, if used shoes are not available, for children who come from families who are in dire need and qualify under certain economic guidelines. It is asked that eligible families apply for this particular service several days prior to receipt of children’s shoes. THE STORE ROOM project has been and is a service for Putnam County people. The Putnam County Council on Aging takes pride in a job well done by many volunteers and special thanks go to United Way for their funding assistance. Thanks also to those people who have donated clothes, shoes and other useful items. *** A distribution of surplus commodities will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at the usual distribution sites in Putnam County. It is expected the following commodities will be distributed: Cheese, a limited supply of butter, corn meal, powdered milk and rice. More detailed information will appear in the Banner-Graphic in the near future.
