TOTAL HEALTH CARE Just as dental care plays a role in a patient’s total health picture, so too does the patient’s general health status play a role in determining the proper approach to dental problems. That’s why a dentist will ask for a medical history at the first visit, and want to know of any changes and/or medical treatments during subsequent visits. For example, if a patient has heart problems or high blood pressure, the dentist will want to know the details.. These would include the severity of the problem and any medications being taken. The dentist will use this information in determining which procedures, sedation and pain medications would be appropriate for the patient. In many cases, the dentist will wish to contact the patient’s family doctor or specialist for more details. With all the facts, the dentist can work safely and efficiently in providing the best dental care. Presented As A Community Service By: George C. Smith D.D.S.

Red Cross explained at Kiwanis meeting

The Saturday morning program for the Wawasee Kiwanis was given by Norma J. Anglin, executive director of the Kosciusko chapter of the American Red Cross. March is Red Cross Month. Anglin told the group that the two main areas in which the Red Cross operates are disaster services and service to the military. There are 86 chapters in Indiana and 2,900 in the continental United States. The local chapter operates two of its programs under congressional charter. Part of the funds for Kosciusko county come through the United Way. There is no charge for the two main areas of service. The local chapter is required to send $20,000 each year to the national office, so reasonable charges are made for several of their services. In case of a disaster which is too much for the local chapter to handle, they call for help from nearby chapters, from regional headquarters and from the national sector. The big flood which hit Fort Wayne was a disaster which qualified their local chapter for help from outside their local ability to handle it. Other services include collection of blood, CPR training, first aid training, safety training such as the use of car seats for infants and many other activities. There were 2,583 participants in safety programs in 1987. Some of their activities are done in cooperation with local industry, churches and other groups within the county. One new program is training in how to avoid back injuries. This is proving to be especially important to industries where lifting is necessary. A recent new pro-

gram involves safety in the use of

lawnmowers. It is geared for kids 11 and older. The Briggs and • Stratton Co. furnish all the equipment and the local Red Cross does the training. Another program involves baby sitting training. It would seem that almost any activity which could result in injury which could be avoided if done correctly, could be helped by the Red Cross. She asked for help in locating rooms where large numbers of people could be housed and fed in case of sudden need. They need to be prepared ahead of time. The big blizzard of 1978 was such an emergency. Officers elected at Primary Mother's Club New officers were elected at the March 7 meeting of the Syracuse Primary Club.

Busy Homemakers meet

Ten members of the Busy Homemakers Club of Milford met in the home of Hazel Johnson, Milford, on Wednesday, March 3. Irene Charlton served as cohostess. For roll call, the members held a seed and bulb exchange. The meeting was opened by the group’s singing of “The Old Rugged Cross.” Anna Cripe gave a reading entitled “Introduction to Spring.” For devotions, Mrs. Charlton read “May You Have.” Louise May read “My Mother’s Definition of a Rich Person,” and recited a poem entitled “March.” Several helpful hints for cleaning windows were given by Velma Pinkerton. She also told about using spray starch on a child’s outdoor slide. Mrs. May presented the garden lesson on “Forsythia” and “Seed Planting.” She gave information on growing seeds inside a home

by using clay and plastic pots, paper cups, cardboard boxes, wood flats, waxed milk cartons or any container which holds soil as long as it has drainage holes.

The last date on a food product should be used as signified. Another helpful suggestion is to eat a lot of onions as they are germ destroyers.
