Morgan s book TOTAL WOMAN. And you should hear what the women are saying! Land sakes! From what we’ve heard (second hand, of course) many local liberated women aren't taking kindly toward this total commitment to making their husbands king of the household. The list of reactions to the book of the 36-year-old Miami housewife range from “Who says?” to ‘ Well. I’ll give it a try.” We have it on good authority that the book is mild compared to some books on nubile bliss being sold over the counters Your opinion, please. ® o Bob Penick, who recently sold his service station business, was working Tuesday as a relief dispatcher at the Syracuse police and fire station.

Minutes can matter to your well-being
Sometimes it hangs heavy on our hands, but all too often most of us find it slipping through our fingers. We’re apt to waste some of it, then try frantically to squeeze more into what’s left. We only have so much of it in life, but none of us knows exactly how much till it’s gone. We can lose it or save it. but never slow it, stop it or turn it back. What is it? It’s time, and how you use it matters to your own and loved ones' health. Psychologist James Dobson, Ph D , writes that in both our cities and rural areas, he has found . .extremely busy people running faster and faster down the road to exhaustion.” Yet, taking more time for living might give you more time to live. His experience in counseling has convinced Dr. Dobson, who is director of behavioral research in the Division of ChiM Development, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, that time pressure and fatigue are among the major causes of depression in women. Dr. Dobson writes that “...every obligation which we shirk is a source of guilt When there are more commitments than we can possibly handle, then self-es-teem is further damaged by each failure.” How can you stop fighting

time and make it work for you? Experts offer the following hints on how to save time and gain precious added hours to invest in more meaningful ways. 1. Plan your work. One top business executive found that “.. every hour he spent planning saved three to four in execution.” 2. Set priorities. Which tasks are most important to complete? Which can wait’* Are there any which maytake care of themselves (such as watering the lawn on a day when rain is expected)? 3. During which times of the day do you work best’ The answer may vary with the individual. Reserve those hours for your most important jobs 4. It may help to "Schedule similar tasks together.

The reproduction is of Avicenna, the "Persian Galen.” Among the brilliant contributors to the sciences of Pharntacy and Medicine during the Arabian era was one genius who seems to stand for his time — the Persian. Ibn Sina (about 980-1037 A.D.). called Avicenna by the Western world. Pharmacist, physician, poet, philosopher and diplomat, Avicenna was an intellectual giant, a companion of Persian princes and rulers. He wrote in Arabic, often while secluded in the home of an apothecary friend. His pharmaceutical teachings were accepted as authorithe in the West until the 17th century; still are dominant influences in the Orient.

He suggests this might be more financially feasible if you shop around for a mature, competent high schooler 7. Why not take along something to read or do while waiting for people or appointments? 8. Try asking yourself these three questions before taking on any new commitment: "Is it worthy of our time? What will be eliminated if it is added? What will be its impact on our family life?” Finally, we need to realize that we aren’t wasting time when we slow down to recharge our emotional and physical batteries, enjoy nature or spend time meditating.

1976 feed groin allotment announced
WASHINGTON, — A 1976 national feed grain allotment of 89 million acres was announced today by thwU.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The national allotment represents the harvested acreage that will produce the quantity of corn, sorghum and barley USDA estimates the U.S. will use domestically and for export during the 1976-77 marketing year. The national allotment does not represent a limit on the amount of feed grains that may be planted. It is used solely as a basis for making payments to producers should the market price fall below the established target prices or if growers qualify for disaster payments. For 1975 the allotment was also 89 million acres. However, producers, in response to signals from the marketplace rather than the allotment, planted about 106 million acres of corn, sorghum and barley to meet domestic needs and strong and
