They motored to the Granite state, arriving last Friday night, campaigned Saturday and Sunday, left for home Monday and arrived here, tired but happy. Tuesday night. A note comes to us from O A.

Wertenberger. r 3 Warsaw (Monroe township), is making stirrings like he plans to be a candidate for councilman-at-large in the May I primary election. Wertenberger was a two-term councilman and was narrowlydefeated when he sought a third term He was a victim of a move to chastise councilmen who put into effect the half cent local option tax Still insisting on the rectitude of the move. Wertenberger considers that the average taxpayer is not aware of the wisdom of the move. He reminds us that surrounding countie* — Wabash. Marshall. Elkhart. Noble and Huntington — each have a one cent local option tax.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Abraham Lincoln said, “I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me. seemed insufficient for the day.” The Psalmist said. “The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteoA.” (Psalm 15:2a) j Milford Christian Church Phone 651-91 SI or 658-4305 - a«OM rw»*u •w ***•» * - *rt**V.

week by Mrs. Tom McClain. Turkey Creek township chairman. Interviews are being held this week for the position of dispatcher at the police and fire stations and the selection is expected to be announced shortly. Residents of the Lakeland area continue to enjoy the warming trend here with temperatures to go to the high 60’s here today. 40’s tonight, back to the 50’s Thursday and the 30 s at night. No precipitation is expected for at least two days, and the morning thermometer at 6 a.m. todayregistered 46 degrees. New organization registers bicycles There is a new organization that is doing something that has been badly needed for a long time, permanently registering bicycles World Wide Cycling Association, with international headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, has provided a central registration system for bicycles from all over the world The registration system helps, deter the theft of bicycles and aids in the identification of all bicycles recovered by law enforcement agencies Through their unique, simplified method erf police approved permanently engraved registration numbers, applied to at least four places on the bicycle, the country and the world now has a “centra!” identification registration system. Any registered bicycle can now be easily traced to it’s rightful owner, no mater what the city or state of originEach locality has its own WWCA director who assists in the registration and engraving of bicycles and informing the public of the many services erf being a WWCA member and registering their bicycles Surviving smoke and aspirin Survival is a tough task for any one For the developing fetus, it’s a delicate, difficult business Studies indicate an increasing number of drugs and substances including cigarette smoke have a negative effect on the growing fetus Now the finger is pointed at still another possible culprit, aspirin. Curiously enough, the effects of maternal smoking and of maternal aspirin taking during pregnancy may be remarkably similar Both activities, measured independently, result m an increase in rates of still birth and a significantly reduced birth weight in babies. Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke crosses into the fetal circulation and retards the growth rate of the embryo So. it seems, does aspirin In one study in Australia, a group of pregnant women who took aspirin regularly during pregnancy, two to 12 aspirin a day. had an increased number of low- weight babies when compared with a group of non aspirin takers who were similar to the first group in every other way. The blood taken from the umbilical cords of the babies of the first group of mothers showed raised levels of salicylate an aspirin substance. The results of the study were totally unexpected In another study of a group of children with asthma, more than one quarter were found to be intolerant of aspirin. According to some researchers, aspirin can actually induce asthma attacks There is no question that aspinn has beneficial effects for some, probably most, people That's why the findings about its effects on the fetus are unnerving Contact your doctor for more information about the effects of aspirin To find out more about the effects of smoke on the fetus, children and adults, contact your lung association, the "Christmas Seal ’ people. They have the facts.
