Vehicle registration extension

Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael M. Packard recently offered clarification on the state’s recently announced decision to extend the Indiana vehicle registration schedule to a 10 month period. “This decision will have absolutely no effect upon the public until 1987,” Packard said. “We will issue new registrations in 1966 according to the present schedule. The public will notice the change in 1987 when they find they may have a later renewal date.” At the time of the 1986 registration, motorists will receive two stickers: one indicating the month of expiration and the other indicating the year. The new schedule came at the request of Governor Bob Orr as the first of a series of steps designed to improve service at license branches. Packard also reiterated the intent of the program by expressing confidence that the new schedule will result in shorter lines in many of the state’s license branches. The Bureau was given the authority to implement the new schedule by a 1983 act of the General Assembly. The full registration is as follows: If driving a corporate vehicle, the individual will not be affected. Names beginning with A or B will not be affected. Vehicles still

Instead of going to a party where everyone is drinking a lot and staying up late, why not have two or three families gather together for an old-fashioned game night. Serve popcorn, cider and donuts. Let the kids play their games and the grownups play theirs or play along with the kids for a while. Parents will be glad that no one is out driving on a dangerous night and no one has to feel they must stay until midnight. Everyone will be having just good clean fun. Poinsettia plants The brilliant poinsettia can be purchased in miniature sizes now as well as the bushier types. A poinsettia likes at least four hours of bright light each day and likes to be kept moist. After the plant stops blooming, cut the stems back to about 4” and repot the roots in fresh soil. Each month fertilize the plant until fall. It may flower again if planted in a totally dark place for six weeks, 14 hours a day. For Christmas blooming do this in September and October. The Three C's The three symbols showing the real meaning of Christmas is the cradle, the cross arid the crown. Christ lay in a crude stable cradle as a newborn baby and a new day had begun for a world which had long prayed for a Redeemer and as the Christ Child grew, His hands would heal the sick, His feet would walk the stony paths on errands of mercy and His voice would bring comfort to the weary. The cross would cut short His life on earth to show the way to live happily by laying down His life for us. His crown of thorns gave us the opportunity for a crown of victory when accepting His gift of love.

A mon with a "knotty" problem

By ARTHUR CHANEY Guest Feature Writer Garry Baker is i man with a “knotty” problem This is not his alone. It should b< shared by every automobih driver in the world — what to d< with the old worn-out tires or cars and other motor vehicles or the roads today. Garry quotes from the Motoi News Media, “There will be 2.! million tires disposed of everj day.” That is a lot of “waste’ material to get rid of. Garry continues, “People formerly sent tires to the disposal dumps but they are now outlaw ed. They get hot in the groupd anc come to the surface. They cannot be burned anymore because oi the environmental protection nil ing against that, so ‘what’?” Garry got involved in this business a few years ago with the Monteith Tire Company, and lx bought the full business in 1983 “We originally recapped as many as possible, out the new radials cannot be recapped. This left about 60 percent of the tires tc dispose of in some other way.-] purchased an old gravel pit neat Atwood and have four million tires piled out there. “I park my empty trailers al the large tire dealers, who, when they replace new tires, throw the old ones in the trailer. I am called to pick up the trailer and drop off another one. I now have 55 trailers used in this way and two tractors to handle this work. I pick up 15,000 to 20,000 tires per month. One of my nephews does this part of the work.” The “fabric” tires can be recapped where they are surfaceable, but a great many of this model are beyond anything except “do otherwise.” The radials with the steel components are the hardest to get rid of. There are shreaders now on the market that can do this work, but the price of SIOO,OOO each is an enormous amount of money. As Garry explained, there is only a very small amount of virgin rubber in tires today; most of the tires’ ingredients is reprocessed rubber. Garry remarked that the difference in the production of new tires from virgin rubber and repossessed material is, “It takes 55 gallons of oil to manufacture a new truck tire. From reprocessed materials, there is less than 25 percent of this amount of oil required. Rubber, once made, retains the original elements so less cost is required.” There is plenty of market for this product when it is available. The shreader grinds the old carcasses into powder, which is easily used in the new product. Several pounds of rubbes is used in automotive vehicles beyond the tires. All of the floor mats, grommets, washers, and one of the body hangers are rubber. Make clatter-blocks Remember those clatter-blocks that kids used to grasp at one end and tilt them forward and back to make them do somersaults down the tapes? How about making one for some special kid or senior citizen? Materials needed are seven plywood blocks, sanded smooth, 2 , i”x2 , 2”x , 4”. Loosely weave two twill outer tapes around blocks. Staple tape at top of each block. Weave a center tape through the blocks in the reverse direction. Staple at bottom of blocks. Have a good time.

Garry commented, “Everyone wants to reduce the costs of usable articles, but no one wants the process in his ‘own backyard.’ The environmentalists have made people conscious of dirt and smoke and dust, but somebody must give a little. The waste products that can be converted into essential use must be used. The throwing away of natural products is not good for anyone. And natural products are hard to destroy; they can only revert to the mineral state. “As time goes along, I will try to do a better job of taking care of the rubber tire disposal problem. We cannot ignore this problem. Letting it go on will only increase the piles of old rubber, oil, and virgin rubber, which will continue to increase in price because of the demand.” In the world of today, wood, which was never thought to be exhaustable a few short years ago, is being depleted at an enorous rate. But a few companies are now reclaiming tracts of land to produce the natural products / once thought to be used up. Our world of today must knowingly accept that we cannot ‘have our cake and eat it, too.’ We must save our wood, aluminum, phosphate, salt, oil, iron, coal, and rubber — all of nature’s own products — because man can never reproduce what was always in the world from time immortal. Man can use and abuse, but never create what God alone gave the world in the Creation. Man is simply breaking his own back and developing a void in the world to these rules. Man must save the natural resources for posterity — that is a must! The world needs rubber products as never before, but with government agencies demanding more controls over odor and ECGs - The beat goes on By JACOB W. MILLER Pharmacist About 40 million Americans are affected by heart and blood vessel disease each year. Many of these can be treated successfully if diagnosed early. That’s where ECG tests come in. Having such a test is painless, safe and quick and could save your life. It works by measuring changes in the heart’s electrical charge. The heart is a muscle with four separate chambers that carry electrical charges which change as the heart beats. When the heart contracts, it has a positive charge, when it relaxes it has a negative charge. In a normal >ECG recording the waves follow known patterns. Variations from the normal pattern may indicate heart disease or abnormality. During an ECG, a person lies down on a table with arms, legs, and chest bared. The technician applies solution or pads to the skin and then straps on the electrodes. Wires are connected to each electrode. The electrodes are applied in about six different positions. After the machine records the electronic impulses on a paper tape, the patient is unplugged and the tape is studied by physicians. For free copies of a booklet called “About ECGs,” write to A.H. Robins, Co., Public Affairs Department, P.O. Box 26609, Richmond, Va. 23261-6609.
