Then came the draft and an artillery exercise in Ft. Lewis, Washington. A shell exploded. Five men were injured. Loyal Apple was permanently blin­ ded. Initially, Apple was frantic with worry over supporting his family and faced the numbing monotony of not seeing. But, he was soon busy reaching out to life again. After two years at the V.A. Rehabilitation center in Hines, II., Apple became a field representative for the Blinded Veterans association, until he was chosen to direct the American Foundation for the Blind. The Foundation became his key to open new doors for the blind. Its lab, with an electrical calculator and a paper money identifier that Apple predicts will open whole new worlds for blind children and adults, teachers, engineers and other professionals. "Before, it was like standing outside the crfndy store win­ dow," he says, "and only being able to look in. With these, an employer or teacher won't ask a blind person 'Can you do it?' He'll tell him, 'Here, do it.' " A sense of mission never depends on freedom from physical limitations. In Loyal Apple's case, blindness fur­ nished a keener vision of others' needs. If you're satisfied with yourse l f , take another look.

With the youngsters were their teachers and ten moms. At the Frank Zarnstorff farm, next to the Bagby home, they learned the fun of jumping in a hayloft, saw a gigantic bull with a ring in his nose and had many questions for Farmer Zarn­ storff to answer. Back at the Bagby ranch, they enjoyed a sack lunch and spent a lot of time observing the animals. The favorite of the children were the baby piglets who cavorted and played, much like the children themselves! Some of the other animals they saw were Betsy, the milk cow, a sheep, calves, chickens and a friendly dog. The students also helped dig potatoes and carrots from the garden. They picked pumpkins and brought corn stalks back to the classroom for Halloween decorations. YOUNG AT HEARTS The Wonder Lake Young at Hearts met on Wednesday, Oct. 20, and finalized plans for a shopping trip to Hawthorne and Lakehurst in December. Votes were taken as to where this year's Christmas party will be held and the majority chose the Mill Inn in Wonder Lake for dinner, card playing and organ music. Everyone is looking forward to a good party. President Marie Robinson reported that Ruth Tjernberg of McCullom Lake is now out of the hospital. Also, Lucille Gildemeister is improving at home and Marion Hillier at Mayo's is doing fine. The club is hoping for them soon to be back with their fellow members. The next meeting of the Young at Hearts is Nov. 3 at Christ the King hall. MOCK SCOUT ELECTION Cub Scout Pack 145 will hold its first pack meeting of the year at the Harrison school cafeteria at 7:30 p.m. Wed­ nesday, Oct. 27. All parents are encouraged to come with their Scouts. A mock election will be held with each den presenting a favorite TV personality as a candidate. Who will be our next President? Can you picture - Fonzie, Kojak, Baretta, Vinnie Barbarino, Captain Marvel or G.I. Joe? The results of this exciting election will be published in the Plaindealer next week, when we, too, will know who our real President will be for the next four years. The theme for November will be Rural America and the Scouts will be visiting local farms. The November pack meeting will feature an unusual contest between our scouts and our favorite milk producing animals. Another new idea will develop in December, involving a Christmas gift from the Scouts to all of Wonder Lake. Some of the adults respon­ sible for the beginning of a really challenging year of scouting in Wonder Lake are cubmaster, Richard Gonzales; den leader coach and awards and advancement chairman, Sharon Peters; Webelos leader, Harry Peters; committee chairman, William Hauck; r e f r e s h m e n t c h a i r m a n , Therese Jinga; transportation chairman, Richard Lermer; outings chairman, Roger Moore; pack engineer, Doug House; den mothers, Karen Utes, Angela Gonzales, Roberta Dicker, Sharon McGowan, Rita Nutter and Joan Larson. More committee members and a treasurer are needed. Interested persons can contact Sharon Peters. A bake sale is planned for Saturday, Nov. 20 at Hornsby's in McHenry. All donations are welcome.

Taxes take bigger and bigger bites out of your'in­ come. They could be taking more than their fair share if you're self-employed or not covered by a pen­ sion plan. If you're a farmer or other self-employed worker, you can set aside 15 per cent of your earnings--up to $7,500 annually--in your own tax-deferred Keogh HR-10 retirement plan. Or, you can put 15 per cent of your earnings --up to $1,500 a year--in an individual retirement account if your company doesn't have a company pension or profit plan. Either way this income is sheltered until you retire, - when you'll probably be in a lower tax bracket. Take the tax bite out of your retirement savings.

UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH a health column from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare When Disaster Strikes In any crisis or emergency situation, "psychological first aid" rnay be the most im­ portant service given the vic­ tim. «» So says Dr. Calvin Freder­ ick, Chief of the Mental Health Disaster Assistance Section of the National Insti­ tute of Mental Health. It doesn't matter what kind of disaster has struck--a hur­ ricane, flood, or earthquake-- the principles of psychological first aid are the same. "Big or small, if they affect people they must be dealt with as promptly and as knowledge- ably as possible, and advance training and study are vital," Dr. Frederick believes. In a recent book. Health in Action, Dr. Frederick lists some of the general proce­ dures for use by crisis work­ ers. Above everything, he says, be calm. A frightened or negative reaction by the worker can create panic on the patient's part. Then provide honest reas­ surance by giving factual sup­ portive information. If a per­ son who may be seriously in­ jured asks the extent of his injuries, it is better to say "I don't know for sure" than it is to make a false statement. This can be combined with the words, "We're going to have you taken care of," which will relieve the victim's anxiety. Next, the NIMH specialist suggests engaging the victim in conversation if he is able to talk, thus reducing tension and helping focus his thoughts away from an injury. The crisis helper must form an action plan, even if it is tentative. For example, in­ form the victim that you are trying to arrange to have him taken to a hospital, or that a doctor will see him soon-- whatever appears probable. The patient will realize that something tangible is being done for him. Then, Dr. Frederick sug­ gests, try to contact friends or relatives and mobilize the in­ dividual's own resources--en­ gage his strengths as quickly as possible. Do not neglect providing lots of reassurance, and be sure to give advice and guid­ ance. Thoughtful, appropriate advice to persons in crisis situ­ ations can be a tool to move them toward overcoming the disaster. Finally, says Dr. Frederick, promote activity, because it helps reduce anxiety and panic and motivates an indi­ vidual away from depressed feelings. Even encouraging the person to help someone else is a useful device, provid­ ing he is physically capable of it. Peanut Butter Peanut butter is about 25r'c protein.
