Danger Sign ¥ick Without Tock Summer has brought the tockless tick out of hibernation ready to leap on humans and aaimate. , This little parasite, once known only to the western states, has now migrated throughout North America spreading a serious disease. RocHy Mountain Spotted Fever. The U.S. Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, warns that the incidence of the disease has been steadily rising since 1968, with a record 905 cases j reported in 1976. While five f southern states accounted for 55 per cent of the total cases reported in the United States, Illinois already has had twenty cases reported so far this year, said Steve Knobloch of the Illinois Department of Public Health, Springfield. Thw U.SV Public Health Service reported that there is a vaccine for the prevention of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. But..that vaccination is recommended only for those "who live in or visit heavily infested areas. ^ While only a small per centage of ticks carry the t n »i disease, the effects are serious. Dr. David Goldfinger, medical consultant for Combined In surance company of America's Claims department, warns that "symptoms such as fever, severe headaches, chills or muscle aches develop three to ten days after tick attachment. A rash appears, usually on the wrist or ankles, one to three days after the fever has commenced and may spread over the entire body." ; Combined's safety and research team states that while most ticks are found in rural areas, they are also found in urban distircts. Children and pets should be inspected regularly for ticks if they have been playing in woody or grassy areas.' The team suggests that if the tick cannot be brushed off or picked off with tweezers, covering it with oil or kerosene might make it^ back out of the skin. Caution...do not crush a tick when dislodging it. "If you have once been bitten by a tick - and later develop fever symptoms, be certain to inform your physician of the fact," says Dr. Goldfinger. Sun Belt" Not Always Health Problem Answer People who have breathing troubles from lung diseases and allergies often think that a moving to another climate will |help. Often it doesn't. Ac cording to the DuPage- McHenry Lung association, * climate is no cure for em physema, bronchitis or asth- 2 ma. | For some years, the DuPage- McHenry association has found it necessary to point out to f people that moving to a "sun belt" state will not necessarily solve their problems. Too often, those who have moved seeking a better climate find the same or other problems waiting for them. The very hot and often very dry summers in Arizona, for example, may be just the thing for some patients, but just the wrong thing for many others. The lung association in Phoenix points out to people jthat their state has mountains areas. Like any other section of jthe country, the "sun belt" SATISFACTORY CONDITION Harry Barabafe of Chicago, 65, is in satisfactory condition in the intensive care unit of McHenry hospital following a possible heart attack at a beach in Lakeland. The McHenry Area Rescue squad handled the call. states now have industries and more air pollution than was found years ago. Some states don't have Medicaid as is found in Illinois.

The whiskers are only one unusual feature of a fish that is represented by 2,000 species, in many shapes and sizes, around the world, the National Wildlife Federation monthly for children reports in an article titled "Crazy Catfish." The catfish-also known as shovelheads, bullheads, stone- cats, madtoms, blue cats, flat- heads, and eelcats-range in size from fingerlings up to a 400-pound European cat known as sheatfish. One of their many eccentricities, in all varieties, is that they have no Scales. Photo: Douglas Faulkner Other odd characteristics- • Glass catfish of Asia and Africa have "see-through" bodies. • The talking catfish of the Amazon grunt and growl. • The walking catfish of Asia can breathe air and walk on land. • The clectric catfish of Africa can jolt you with a shock of 350 volts. - • The American madtom can deliver a wasplike, sting with poison spines. Despite these unnerving capabilities, many people like to catch catfish, says the Ranger Rick article. They use hooks and lines, nets and traps. Some even go grabbing or "noodling" for the bc- whiskered creatures, pulling them out of dark underwater hiding places with their bare hands. Many farmers have figured out a way that is less fun but more profitable, the NWF publication reports. They grow catfish in large ponds and sell them for their de licious meat. •«V •*** .* • m. w- "'j V.- J V « • : S - * • • f V. i • H #:v. : V \ X ; • • • ••! *•' • ••• • • i*p 1* : I*' •/.' * • % •• Isles' " ' yt PAGE 15 • PLA1NDEALER - FRII ULY 22.

She is always perfectly groomed. Her house and her garden, with its beautiful flowers, are always just so. She isn't trying to give a false impression; in fact, she would be horrified at the thought. But the truth is that things have not been all that easy for her. Her husband is a semi-invalid; their only son was killed in a tragic accident. She works in her husband's business three days a week, to help keep things go ing. Where does she get her serenity ? How has she had the courage to accept so much adversity with so much grace? A friend asked her one day, and she pointed to the tall, white steeple at the end of the street. Many people have found their answer in the Church. Have you looked tnere?
