H New Test Tells High Risk Stroke Candidates AWARD BANQUET - Richard Sherwood (back to camera) receives award at the second annual Brake Parts company awards banquet from Chuck Neugebauer. From left, watching, are Joseph Scott and Thomas Wall, and at right, James Brandt. About 125 guests attended the second annual Brake Parts company awards banquet at the McHenry Country club. Chuck Neugebauer, division manager, welcomed the guests and expressed his appreciation for their loyal service. Following dinner, guest speakers, Joseph Scott, president of Echlin Manufacturing, the parent company, and Thomas Wall, general manager of Echlin's Hydraulic Brake group, congratulated those present and also thanked them for the years of service given to both Brake Parts and Echlin. After viewing a short film concerning Echlin's progress,""the guests were personally congratulated by Jack Echlin, the company's founder, who called from Florida to give a brief history of Echlin and personally honor those present. While James Brandt, B.P.C. Industrial and Employee Relations manager, announced the recipients, Mr. Neugebauer, Mr. Wall, and Mr. Scott presented them with awards for five, ten, fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five years of service to the company. Immediately following, Robert Burian, vice-president of Personnel for Echlin, an­ nounced the formulation of Quarter Century club and presented Vincent Sullivan, Frank Okun and Richard Sherwood with the first membership awards for twenty-five years of continuous service. The program was concluded with dancing and refreshments. Physicians may be able to tell through your eyes whether you're a high risk candidate for a stroke in time to head it off, according to a paper delivered in Dallas recently at the forty- seventh annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart association. Cleveland Clinic foundation scientists reported that by measuring the fluid pressure inside the eyeball at the same time that mild pressure is applied to the side of the neck it is possible to determine whether the arteries supplying the brain are obstructed. Called c a r o t i d c o m p r e s s i o n tonography (CCT), the test is based on the fact that changes in blood flow through the carotid arteries leading to the brain are reflected by pressure changes inside the eye. Blockage of the carotid vessels--on either side of the neck--is a major cause of stroke. The obstruction, usually the result of fatty deposits on the artery walls, - leads to a reduction in blood flow. A significant decrease in blood flow can lead to brain cell death. Detected early enough this obstruction can be removed by surgery. Normally, the sure way to diagnose carotid artery blockade is by means of ar­ teriography--X-ray visual­ ization of the blood vessels following injection of an opaque dye into the circulation. But such a procedure can be risky, with serious com­ plications arising in as many as 1.2 percent of the patients undergoing the procedure. ft "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" CIRCUIT COURT Associate Circuit Judge Thomas Baker Victor H.

THINK ABOUT IT! 1 BOB JUSTEN At Christmas, would it not be a good idea to think what living in this world would be if Christ had not been born? The birth of this gracious, perfect Person has surely affected the lives of all of us. At Christmas we customarily remember and cele­ brate His birth. We think of His teachings and His example for living shown in His brief life on earth.... But, remembering and celebrating His birth is utterly meaningless if no effort is made to emulate Him and His way of life... His way of life personified love, hope, warmth, confidence, trust and an intense desire to be helpful to others. Actually, His way of life IS the true spirit of Christmas. Without it the soul and spirit of Christmas is dead and worthless. As wa^s|y "Merry Christmas" to you, we trifty hope the of Christmas is vibrantly alive for all of you GEORGE R.

But I thought the tree was the biggest Christmas tree in the whole world! A scent of evergreen and snowflakes mingling still comes back to me, and I remember looking far to the top where a huge star sparkled against a black velvet sky. I wondered if God were look­ ing down, admiring our star. Yes, God was there--in the heart of old Mr. Cunningham, his banker's dignity stuffed in a red flannel suit, and in the blue fingers of Miss Lucy, coaxing carols from a wheezy organ. He was there in baskets of food brought by the Ladies Aid Society and in neatly stitched quilts made for the orphans by the Women of the Church. Today, more than ever, people need to learn the love of God from the warmth of their fellow- man. Your church teaches faith through works. Go to your church and know the joy that comes from helping others. .
