GEORGE P. FREUND Lakemodr HEAVY RAINS FLOOD AREA > IN VILLAGE By Annette Sehfnit Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink! Did you get a good look at what all the rains have done around the village? We've pretty well decided to post some • signs which say, "No fishing on lake Anderson". Grampa Anderson's front and side yard are turning into a miniature lake. The rains created overflowing fields of water on the farms to the east and the water is coming to the subdivision but good. Anyone for a row boat? Some forecasts are for heavy snows in the near future. We're holding our breath here in the hopes that we won't get too much more precipitation! The sections near to the highway are high and do not Seem to be having much tfouble. This re- | i>orter had promised to keep, j the kids informed on the icing i conditions of the lake, also. ! Well, kids, the swimming is | fine! If you want skating, ! someone better come up with ; some good" solid prayers for 1 cold weather and deep"\ frost! i Broken Finger Little Lorrie Beahler is car- ! rying her right index fifl'ger : around on a pillow these days. . She managed to break it playing basketball at school. This presents some problems for her, it seems. Like, for in- •^stance, homewoTjv^ Mom's doing fine at it though, and Dad's taking to arithmetic just fine.

Is "100 plus your age" a good may to tell what your blAd pressure should be? A. No. There is no set rule about what the blood pressure "should" be. What is satisfactory for one person may not, be suitable for another, just as some automobiles run better with high octane gasoline: others dp best with low octane fuel. People, like cars, are ^not all alike. Some folks in later life may have a pressure of upwards of 200, yet for them, all things considered, it is a level at whgah the body functions satisfactory^. Others of the same age may have a pressure of 120 or 130 and for these individuals it is just right. Blood pressure does tend to rise as we get older. However. other things have a bearing on blood pressure. Emotions, tensions. diseases of the kidneys or arteries, and diet -- all influence blood pressure. If it is clearly too high, doctors have ways of bringing it down. If it is too low the doctor will do things to bring it up fcjbit. Q. What should be done for an 11-month-old baby girl who is a little bowlegged and falls so much? She puts everything in her mouth. Does she lack something in her system?--M. A. On the face of it. the description would fit any 11-month-old. The year-old is characteristically bowlegged. falls easily and often, and is prone to put anything and everything in the mouth. The legs straighten after awhile, the toddling gait becomes a sure walk, and the hand-to-mouth stage is passed. Even though a baby is seemingly healthy, a physical checkup now and then is always advisable if for no other reason than to put your own mind at ease. Q. is gout a form of arthritis? A. Yes, although the condition differs greatly from the more common rheumatoid arthritis. Chronic gouty arthritis is due to excess uric acid in the blood. Treatment is directed toward reducing the excess uric acid through regulation of the diet and by use of drugs. Through medical treatment it is now possible to prevent development of chronic gouty arthritis in persons who are prone to develop the disease and to greatly help sufferers who have an established case of gout.

It's not reall^jthart flinny but thought you'd get a, kick out of this one. Little Vicky never has a seat in our house. When1 it's time for T.V., he has to sit on the fllor. -- Well. Mom decided to do something about it. She obtained a little child's rocking chair. Everyone in the family had to try it-out First Vicky tried, but he got bored and turned to some toys Then the rest of the monstere tried. All got a real bang out of the new little rocker. Next, -- Mom's turn.JDh, she got into it alright. She even enjoyed rocking in it. But the turnabout came when she tried to get out.-- Stuck! She did all but call a derrick. Finally, as though an octopus let loose the little rocker fell off of mother. I finally came to the conclusion that I'm not as little as I used to be.-- Moral,-- You're never too big to be spanked! Amen So be it for another week. A | few friends of ours have a few scratches on their cars this past week after that one real slippery morning-. We watched t h e s c h o o l b u s e s c o m i n g through the village on that morning and decided that the drivers were riding the road side saddled. The little one> were busy with the sleds during the week, using Danko's hills as their slide. They always come home soaked and frozen, but can't wait to gel back on the sleds in a short time.
