Journalist — (Continued from page 1) her daughter and her husband. Milford Native Those who have watched the rise of Earleen (Fisher) Tatro are not surprised that her enterprise as a probing reporter had led her into conflict with the Khomeini government in Iran She is the daughter of Noble and Donna Fisher of Milford, where she graduated from high school in 1964. Even as a high school student she had journalistic ambitions. She wrote a school column for the old Milford Mail.

She graduated from IU in 1968, then went to work for AP at Indianapolis. She was moved to a desk in New York where she handled wire stories.

7t's not the heat, it's the humidity,' and more

WEST LAFAYETTE - “It's not the heat, it’s the humidity.” You’ll hear that complaint frequently, as humidity levels make the air outside feel like a steam bath. This summer villain does more than just irritate people, though. It also provides ideal conditions for mildew growth, according to Sue Badenhop, extension housing specialist at Purdue University. Mildew flourishes in places that are damp, warm, dark and poorly ventilated, Badenhop says. Basements, seldom-used closets, crawl spaces and shower curtains are particularly vulnerable. It is also likely to develop in new, homes, where moisture lingers in the building materials. As mildew grows, it can cause considerable harm; and seriously damaged items may not be salvageable. Preventing the conditions favorable to

LJSF Doc seeks new heart surgery method

One of the problems often encountered with open heart surgery is that the heart muscle is injured from a lack of oxygen during the operation and performs inadequately afterward. Dr. Michael Yarnoz of the University of South Florida College of Medicine is seeking new surgical techniques to minimize injury to the heart during surgery. The project is funded by a SIO,OOO grant from the American Lions ready for Saturday's auction sale Members of the Milford Lions Club are gearing up for what is hoped to be their first annual consignment auction. The auction is set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8. For the past several weeks the Lions have been running advertisements listing items that will be sold. These include tractors, trucks, toppers, snowmobiles, a number of farm items, chain saws, stoves, firewood, fence posts, bicycles, and 220 pounds of beef. Items will be accepted on the sale grounds, the Milford Large Animal Clinic at the north edge of town, on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 6 and 7, from 2 until 7 p.m. and on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 8 until 10a.m. Lee Beer and Everett Rookstool are serving as auctioneers.

mildew growth is the key to stopping it. Although you cannot control the humidity levels outside, you can control the dampness inside your home, Badenhop states. For example, automatic clothes dryers should be vented to the outside. Basement dampness can be reduced by waterproofing and replacing cracked or defective mortar. To insure that outside drainage is adequate, all downspouts should drain away from the house. In a crawl space, good ventilation plus a vapor barrier over the soil will help keep the area dry. When the air outside is drier than that inside, open the windowsand ventilate the house, the specialist recommends. Small electric fans or window exhaust fanswill help. Air out your closets and drawers frequently. Be certain clothes and shoes are thoroughly

Heart Association. Because he is using procedures much like those used daily in open heart surgery. Dr Yarnoz said his findings will have immediate practical implications. “In order to repair the heart we must stop the flow of blood to it," Dr. Yarnoz said. “This is like inducing an injury and one of the effects is that the cells of the heart swell from a lack of oxygen and the heart does not perform adequately after the operation." Paul Miller returns to Colorado home Paul Miller, son of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Miller, Milford, has left for Colorado Springs, Colo., after spending the summer in Milford. Miller graduated May 31 from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. After graduation he resigned from his commission, where he wduld have been a Second Lieutenant.

dry before putting them away.. One of the most Effective deterrents to mildew is the dehumidifier, which draws moisture from the air and condenses it. Dehumidifiers are especially helpful in damp basements and other areas where excessive moisture accumulates. Air conditioners will also help to remove moisture from your home, Badenhop notes. Several chemicals are available to aid in mildew control. Silica gel, activated alumina an calcium chloride can be used to absorb moisture from the air. These products are sold under various brand names 'bydrugstores, department stores and building supply dealers. Label instructions should 'be followed carefully, she cautions. Because the molds causing mildew need food and moisture to survive, be sure that your stored items are as clean and dry as possible. Badenhopemphasizes. Bicycle stolen An All Pro bicycle, black with no fenders and bumpy tires was stolen from Jim Bart man, 213. West Main Street, Syracuse. He advised police at 4:17 p.m., Monday, that the bike waj taken from the front yard between 7 p.m., Sunday and 7 am., on Monday. • New ideas old ideas disguised Sometimes new’ ideas are just old ideas in disguise, says Michael Lee, extension home furnishing specialist at Purdue University. As average home sizes get smaller and smaller, builders are attempting to provide storage space in appropriate and unique ways. It appears that one answer is the “modular closet" now being offered in the larger cities across the country According to ,Lee. these "modular closets" are today’s answer to Grandmothers wardrobe cabinet or "shift-robe" as it was called by some. It appears that housing is evolving past the point where large closets help sell the house. In order for many to afford the house, closets may soon be a piece of furniture like a bed or dresser, Lee says.
