Summer ... one of the best

This summer is shaping up to be one of the best. The weather has been beautiful and many odds and ends that have needed doing around here are now finished’. Hubby took a few days off the last of May and painted the house and garage. The place has never looked better even though it took two tries to get the right color of trim. Everytime this reporter starts out the door with a paint brush it begins to rain. There is a certain screen door we have been trying to paint for about six weeks. I’m sure Hubby doesn’t believe one word about the rain. After all, he painted a house and garage in just a few days. We have been honored with visits from two mother ducks who bring their babies into the front yard to feed. There are four babies in one family and seven in the other. They certainly do grow up fast. Our cherry tree is loaded with fruit again this summer. The neighborhood cherry pie bakers and jelly makers have pretty well cleaned off the lower limbs. Since they all bring us some of whatever they make we don’t mind one bit-sharing our tree. The birds are taking care of the

THE CAT spent the 4th of July hiding. She didn’t like all the noise and there were too many new dogs around who came with people visiting neighbors. TIPPECANOE TOWNSHIP club officer’s installation luncheon is scheduled for July 19 at a local restaurant. Hostesses for the day will be Dot Kurth, Betty Hinton, Pauline Gunkle, Helen Wichern, May Grodrian, Virginia Perry and Geneva Belcher. TILL NEXT week...

cherries too high in the branches for anyone else to reach. The downstairs room that we plan to make into a den is about half way cleaned out. Already there is a great deal of discussion about what should, or should not, be in there and what color combinations would be best. If we do everything that everyone wants the place is going to be in worse shape than it is now. We’re seriously considering building a room on the front of the house to handle the over flow. Our rose bushes are doing very well this season. We thought sure we had lost one of our recent transplanted favorites. Hubby stepped on it twice while painting the house and the branches were pretty badly broken. But, it rallied and we’ve had one bouquet of its beautiful coral-colored blooms. Mosquitoes are also thriving this year and seem to be more than a little fond of this reporter’s blood type. The trees, grass and shrubs look so lush and green, a nice change from the dry burning heat of last summer, which turned the grass brown and killed a lot of plants and garden vegetables. The Fourth of July, which is usually hectic, was a little too quiet to suit this reporter. We decided not to have company and the weather was too unsettled to plan a picnic. We couldn’t think of any place we wanted to go and couldn’t crank up much enthusiasm about working around the house. As it turned out one of the most exciting moments of the day happened when a cassette got jammed in the tape player. Charm and Chatter has picnic Susie Ward was hostess for the carry-in picnic of Charm and Chatter club held July 2 at her home. Virginia Osburn, incoming president, was installed by Dot Baumle. Mrs. Osburn then conducted the business session. Dorothy Snoke is the retiring president. Mrs. Osburn read a commentary on the pledge of allegiance to the American flag written by Red Skelton. Ruth Mickley received the door prize. Colleen Bryant will be hostess for the August meeting. —NW— Bank donates Flotilla winnings to pavilion fund James E.

Stroke deaths have dropped 40 %

Choreographer Agnes de Mille stood in the auditorium of the Hunter College Playhouse in New York, giving last-minute instructions to her dance company. “Suddenly, I discovered that half •of my body was dead,” she recounted in her book, “Reprieve.” Agnes de Mille was the victim of stroke, which hits about 400,000 Americans each year and has disabled more than 2 million living Americans. But although her attack was severe, she made a remarkable recovery, and her triumphal return to her stage career illustrates the progress made in recent years against this crippling condition. Over the past 20 years, stroke deaths have dropped 40 percent and recovery rates have risen dramatically. The National Institute ‘of Health has prepared a booklet that describes the latest research on this affliction and discusses prevention, warning signs, treatment and rehabilitation. Copies of “Stroke — Hope Through Research” are available from the Consumer Information Center, Department 222 M, Pueblo, Colo., 81009. Warning signs often precede a stroke. They include numbness, tingling or weakness in an arm or leg, or one side of the face, temporary blindness in one or bbth eyes, or difficulty with speech. Dizziness, drowsiness, nausea or vomiting may also occur prior to a stroke. These attacks may be very brief, often lasting just a few seconds. But they should not be ignored. Call your physician or get to an emergency room as soon as possible when such symptoms occur. Who is most likely to have a stroke? Persons with high blood pressure or a history of heart trouble are particularly vulnerable. Persons who are overweight, get little exercise, have diabetes or sickle cell anemia also have increased chances of stroke. Two-thirds of victims are over 65. But no one is

immune from the possibility of a stroke: strtike in newborn infants is a major cause of cerebral palsy. Rehabilitation should begin as soon as the stroke victim is out of danger and vital signs are stable. After only a week in bed, muscles start to deteriorate. Physical therapy helps the patient strengthen muscles, improve balance anti coordination, and relearn the movements necessary for sitting, standing and walking. Speech and language therapists work with stroke patients who have sustained damage in the speech centers of the brain. Occupational therapists concentrate on improving eye-hand coordination and strengthening skills needed in writing, using tools, and preparing food. But physicians, physical therapists, speech and language specialists and other experts and counselors need to work with the family as well as with the patient. Family support increases survival chances and rehabilitation progress. Having family members, friends and neighbors who have been counseled in rehabilitation methods is often the difference between hope and despair. The NIH booklet tells where to write for more information on working with stroke victims. The booklet, “Stroke — Hope through Research” contributes to public understanding of this crippler by describing its causes, prevention and treatmenmt in plain but informative language. When you write for your copy you will also receive a free copy of the “Consumer Information Catalog.? Published quarterly by the Consumer Information Center of the U.S. General Services Administration, the catalog lists more than 200 other free and moderately priced federal booklets on a variety of subjects.

National Cemetery, the Jefferson Memorial and other historic sights in Washington were included in the conference. A highlight of the week was a
