V Adequate Information Protects Baby's Growth There's An Answer (by Norman^Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford~PeaIeT From conception through pregnancy, a baby's growth is more rapid than at any other time in its life. The woman planning a pregnancy, as well as the pregnant woman, can protect and provide for her growing baby by obtaining adequate information. A class is being offered to provide information to women about pregnancy. A dietician will discuss nutrition; a physical therapist will demonstrate exercises for a more comfortable pregnancy; and two nurses will discuss drugs, x-rays, rubella, Rh, sex, and prepared childbirth. The class will be given Jan. 30 at 7:30p.m. at the First Methodist church on Dole and Crystal Lake avenues in^Crystal Lake. For more information call Mrs. Gary (Nancy) Willard or Mrs. Ralph (Mary) Stoerp. This class is sponsored by SCOPE-Successful Childbirth and Organized Parent Education. SCOPE is a parents' organization whose purpose is to provide people with help and information at all stages of their parenting ex­ perience. The class cost is applicable to a SCOPE membership fee for an in­ dividual or a couple. For more information about SCOPE, call Mrs. Ronald (Karen) Meissen. Afraid To Be Alone ̂ Q. I have been fighting fear for over 17 years. It just seemed to take over all at once. I cannot bear to stay alone, day or night. Somehow I have lived through this nightmare, but every day I'm faced with the thought that one of these days I won't have someone with me, and I panic just thinking about it. I haven't enlightened many people about this phobia because I am so ashamed I try to keep busy, but there are those times I have time to think about being left alone and it wipes me out. I just need new hope that I can overcome this. What can you suggest? & Town-Country Proceeds For Public Library On behalf of Town & Country 1977, Mrs. John Coughlin presented a check in the amount of $100 to Mrs. June Steward, head librarian at the McHenry Public library. Along with this check and one received a year ago from Town & Country, the total figure reaches $500 to help support the local library. Two other checks are being distributed, one to the McHenry Rescue squacj and one to the city of McHenry. HOSPITAL NOTES Woodstock History Set As Fine Arts Program The Woodstock Fine Arts association will hold its annual meeting Thursday, Jan. 26, at 10:30 a.m. at the Woodstock Opera House Community room. Jim Keefe, a long time resident of Woodstock and one­ time city councilman whose hobby is Woodstock history, will give a program on "Old Woodstock". He will discuss many of the old homes, using an array of his colorful slides as illustration, and some of our town's history. There will also be a brief annual meeting and election of officers. A brunch of culinary delight will be served by Myra Richardson, a gourmet caterer and teacher from Woodstock. Reservations will be taken by Mrs. Louis (Rita) Aiello, or Mrs. Ralph (Shirley) Beers. Missionary Tour Begins The Marcia Mary Ball circle met for its first meeting of 1978 recently at the First United Methodist church. Highlighting the assembly was a film presentation. The group met with the Ruth Circle, and all went to the sanctuary where Tim Tonyan showed slides and gave a most interesting talk on his orientation session in California and the work he will be doing in Swaziland. All members wished him well on his missionary work with Campus Crusades for Christ, International, during the next 2 years. Gertrude Anderson acted as hostess, serving refreshments to the ladies. Cleda McCracken said grace, and offered inspirational meditations. A letter was read from the Lake Bluff-Chciago Homes for Children, acknowledging the circle for their annual donation and from Sara Deef, for their card. The next meeting of the Marcia Mary Ball circle will be Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 12:90 p.m., when Cleda McCracken and Helen Lundy will be the hostesses, and Ann Demke will have the meditations. A. You have been practicing the wrong technique. Don't fight a fear-bypass it. Start practicing courage. Don't keep telling yourself you are afraid. Forget fear. Start telling yourself you are courageous and you will become so. Remember Emerson's wise advice? "Do the thing you fear and . the death of fear is certain." And how do you do that? When you LqoOK " Notice must stay alone, stand up to your fear. But you are never alone- w v v God is there with you. We have a booklet, Overcoming Anxiety and Fear, that has helped others with concerns such as yours and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone else wishing a free copy may receive one by writing to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Son Took His Life Q; It has been over five years since my son took his life during a mental illness. Many things keep arising such as the minister of our church saying anyone who does that has no hope of salvation. I feel that God understood the turmoil he was going through. Many circumstances in his life, insurmountable debts due to an extravagant and dissatisfied wife who cared nothing for him. He thought, I guess, that he could buy her love. Thus his health both physically and mentally broke. I am still troubled and heartbroken. I keep thinking I should have been able to do something. Please help me. A. We are sure you did everything possible to be helpful to your son. And you are not helping either him or yourself by rehashing the past. That is over; let it go. We agree with you that God understands and loves your son. And the Heavenly Father will take care of him. Release him into God's hands and be at peace. Angry "Spells" Can Mean Low Blood Sugar Q. You printed a letter from a woman whose husband abuses their children when his anger is out of control. These "spells" show all the symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Just before there's that sudden drop in blood sugar a surge of anger sweeps over the victim, and he or she turns in rage to vent these feelings on anyone or anything nearby. The test for hypoglycemia takes six hours, but it should be given to everyone who is irrational or abusive. I've had this problem since childhood and have learned to control it by diet. I have two university degrees and taught nutrition in college. Last week I was 90 years old. May God help you to help us. A. Thank you for your interesting explanation. Your plan has certainly worked in your case and no doubt it can help others similarly afflicted.
