Scholarship to diabetic camp

Tri Kappa Sorority is sponsoring a $l6O scholarship for one week’s tuition at Camp John Warvel. The scholarship is available for a diabetic child who is seven to 15 years old. The camp will be held June 7-12 at the Happy Hollow Campgrounds near Nashville in picturesque Brown County. Camp Warvel provides Indiana’s diabetic children with a safe and enjoyable learning experience in the out-of-doors. Everyday skills, such as using insulin, weighing and measuring food, and performing blood and urine tests, are emphasized in order to achieve the control that is necessary to avoid the complications of diabetes. In addition, exposure to others who are facing similar situations often helps remove feelings of “being different” as children learn to live with diabetes. The week allows a camping experience led by counselors knowledgeable in camoing and counseling skills with special interests in diabetes. The counselors are under the supervision of a medical staff, including physicians, nurses, and dietitians who are specifically trained in the care of diabetes in children and provide 24-hour-a-day care of the campers. Happy Hollow Camp provides a centralized dining hall, four living areas of five cabins each, an infirmary, game fields, tennis and basketball courts, a lake for swimming and boating and a nature center. The camp facility is exclusively for the use of Indiana’s Camp for Children with Diabetes during this week. The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association. To apply for this scholarship,

applicants or their parents should submit a letter indicating the benefit such a diabetic program would offer them. Please include name, address, age, and physician. This letter should be sent to the Kosciusko Chapter of the Indiana Diabetes Association, PO

Biiliiii' ■ ■ » MIRACLES TODAY By Karen Mitchell Not much is said of Jesus’ first miracle in Cana. Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his disciples, were among those invited to a wedding. Scripture reports, “The wine supply ran out during the festivities and Jesus’ mother came to him with the problem.” Jesus answered, “I can’t help you now; ... It isn’t yet my time for miracles.” In other words, he said no! Scripture then reports: “This miracle at Cana in Galilee was Jesus’ first public demonstration of his heaven-sent power. ’’ What caused Jesus to change his mind? What caused him to perform a miracle? What caused him to use his heaven-sent power before his time? First of all, God always moves according to his Word. Now, think about this for a minute. Hebrews says, “without faith, it is impossible to please him”, and James says, “faith without works is dead.” Therefore if I want God to do something for me, i.e. healing, finances, family situations, there is something I can do to cause God to move in my behalf. Now, look at what Jesus mother did — look with spiritual eyes, not your own understanding or what you have been taught. Jesus’ mother came to him and said, the wine has run out. He answered I can’t do anything about it; it’s not yet my tune for miracles. Here’s the key. Mary turned to the servants and said, whatever he tells you to do, do it. Mary’s faith and correspondingaction caused God/Jesus to move in her behalf before his appointedtime. , t , .. „ . Think about this. Jesus performed a mitacle before his God appointed time! Why? Mary believed and acted. Now let me apply this same principle to my life. If I will believe God/His promises, and demonstrate my faith by corresponding actions, Jesus will perform miracles in my life too; just as he did for Mary in Cana of Galilee. ,

By JULIE BOWER Q — How are my retirement benefits figured? A— Your benefits are determined by two factors, your date of birth and your earnings'over your working lifetime. We usually start with 1951 and go up to the year you turn age 62. Then we subtract your lowest five years of earnings and average the rest. For example, if you were born in ’ 1925 we would go from 1951 to 1987. This is 36 years. We drop out your lowest 5 years and use 31 years to figure your retirement payment. Q — I got a statement from Social Security showing how much they had paid me last year. I don’t agree with all the figures. What should I do? A — First of all, the important figure to look at is the net benefits block. If that figure is correct, Social Security considers the statement correct. If you don’t understand what all the figures mean, we will be happy to help explain them. Be sure to check the figures against your own records before calling us.
