Garden Soil or Hard Summer's Work The gardening season doesn't gnd when the last hardy carrot las been pulled from the cold rth, because soil must be spaid for its hard summer's vork, Now is the time to bring a good season to its end and to prepare for an even better ^garden in,the spring. -f The logical time to make •"amends to the hard-working • earth is in the fall, beginning £;with a cleanup after all except J-the winter-hardy crops have j'been harvested. The first step •js getting rid of crop residues. • Stalks, vines and exhausted Srplants should be uprooted and £left in the garden. Tough roots, "such as those of cabbage, corn ;and sunflower, can be shredded •or simply chopped up with a sharp hoe. This plant debris will decompose slowly over the winter and add organic matter for richer soil next year. To work in this soil builder, either bury it by digging, filling and covering trenches, or, preferably, till it in. Check the soil in different sections of the garden after tilling to see that you've created a uniform mixture. Next, you may want to cover your garden somehow. Leaving any soil exposed to wind and weather is not good for it. Precious topsoil can be lost to snowmelt and winter winds^--and easiest cover crop,\s especially if tilling has left it outdeep roots that bretfc loose and light. . / clay soil and keep it loosi There are two easy options for covering the soil after the fall cleanup and soil recon- ditioning-mulching with leaves or cover cropping. Both of these steps will add orgamc matter and some <^tt^ents to your spring sc If leaves are available, your garden is moderate "in size, and the winters are relatively short, use mulch instead. But if your garden is large or sloping, or if the winter will be longer than three months, then a cover crop makes sense. A winter cover crop holds topsoil and its nutrients in the garden. Winter (annual) rye, the most popular d easiest cover CTOD, sends up On the other hand, a cover crop will also hold light sandy soil in place. UNDERSTANDING DRUG ABUSE a health column from the . Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare PAGE 23 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, W ' s f 9 J CHURCH SERVICES Pledge Energy Conservation t, A resolution supporting <energy conservation and !r calling for an aggressive £ federal program aimed at the J" development of alternative •: energy sources has been issued the Lincoln Heritage Trail jf foundation. The organization is among the first travel oriented association to ask its members to sign a pledge supporting judicious use of energy. A copy of the resolution and pledge have been sent to President Carter, the Depart- ' ment of Energy, governors of the Trail states of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois and to legislators and congressmen from the Trail states. The letter accompanying the resolution affirmed that those in the travel industry are willing to do their share, but asked that this industry not be singled out to make sacrifices while other industries continued operating on a status quo basis. The Trail, which relies heavily on automobile travel to bring visitors to the historic and recreational attractions along its 2,200-mile route through Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, has experienced a decline in visits this summer. If the trend continues, it could mean layoffs at attractions and facilities which are part of the $180 billion tourism industry that supports more than five million families in the U.S. Members of the foundation and its directors are using the energy conservation resolution and pledge to express concern over the importance of establishing an energy policy that can be uniformly applied to all industries. State SAT Scores High State Superintendent of Education Joseph M. Cronin says he is pleased with Illinois SAT test results, which show state scores well above the midwest and national averages. The 1979 results released by the College Entrance Examination board show that Illinois mat scores average 511, more than forty points above the national average of 467. Cronin said, "Our math scores, all during the 1970's, have remained high - well above the national average, which has been falling -- and 'above he Midwest average. 'y.'r; i Students, parents and mathematics teachers are to be congratulated for this fine performance."* "Verbal scores on the same test at 462 are more than thrity points above the national average of 427," he continued The superintendent noted that Illinois Verbal SAT scores during the early 1970's dropped but now appear to be stabilizing. He urged parents to provide more books for their children and to read to younger children. "Parents and public libraries," Cronin said, "are key ingredients of verbal proficiency-juSt as important as the Illinois Board of Education's emphasis on reading and writing in the schools." He also endorsed a PUSH FOR EXCELLENCE proposal urging parents to turn off television sets for several hours each evening to allow time for reading and study. In addition, Cronin praised Illinois business firms for sponsoring "Reading is Fundamental", a low cost book distribution program which helps school age children build personal libraries at home. . . Glaucoma Threat To Eyes In spite of readily available methods of treatment that can prevent its damage, glaucoma remains a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the National Society to Prevent Blindness (NSPB). The society reports that about two million Americans have glaucoma, half of whom do not know that they have it ; one million have lost at least some of their vision to the disease and 6,600 new cases of glaucoma blindness are reported each year. "The problem is," said Virginia S. Boyce, executive director of the society, "that glaucoma sneaks up on you In most cases it has no symptoms in its early stages, and its victims do not realize that anything is wrong until they have already lost some vision." Glaucoma can be detected, Mrs. Boyce added, through tonometry, a quick and painless test by an eye doctor. People at greatest risk for this eye condition include the elderly, people with a family history of glaucoma, and those with diabetes and car­ diovascular diseases. All persons over 35 are advised to have an eye examination every other year - the best defense against glaucoma, according to Mrs. Boyce. In glaucoma, she explained, ther fluid that cleanses and lubricates the lens of the eye does not drain away properly. It continues to collect, causing pressure that eventually damages the retina in the back of the eye. Warning signals include loss of peripheral vision, difficulty in adjusting the eyes to dark rooms, blurred or foggv vision, or the ap- pearance of halos around lights. By the time these symptoms appear, however, there may already be significant damage to the vision, and that damage cannot ,be corrected. If glaucoma . is diagnosed early, it can be treated and its progress can be permanently halted, Mrs. Boyce em­ phasized. In most cases, she said, treatment consists-^ eye drops that enable the"eye's drainage system to work more effectively. In some cases, medication is given to reduce the body's production of fluid. Occasionally, an operation is performed to open the chamber into which the fluid drains. To expand glaucoma detection projects and educate the public about the disease, the society has launched a Glaucoma Alert. This is a nationwide campaign to bring the disease under control, backed by major national >> organizations and local groups. In addition to conducting periodic screenings in com munities across the country, the society also works to educate professionals with the hope that more internists and family physicians will include tonometry as part of th© routine physical » examination for patients 35 and over. "With what we know today," Mrs. Boyce concluded, "(here is no reason why people should continue to go blind or to have imparied vision from glaucoma." Information about glaucoma is available by writing National Society to Prevent Blindness, 79 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10016. The National society, established in 1908. is the oldest Danger Signals: Sleeping Pills and Other Rx Drugs Millions of people in the United States use mood- altering drugs under a doc­ tor's care with beneficial effects, but these drugs-- tranquilizers, stimulants, sleep­ ing pills, and pain relievers-- can be abused.. "" If, you think you have a problem with drugs, ask your­ self these questions: 1. Are you defensive about your drug use? 2. Are you ever emba>- rasssed or frightened by your behavior under the influence. of drugs? 3. Have you gone to a new- doctor because your old one would not prescribe the drug you wanted? 4. When under pressure and feeling anxious, do you automatically take a tran­ quilizer? 5. Do you take drugs more often or for reasons other than those indicated by your doctor? 6. Do you mix drugs and alcohol? 7. Do you regularly take drugs to help you sleep? 8. Do you have to take • pills to wake up? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a drug problem. To " avoid problems before they ^ start, you should always be able to answer the following questions: 1. Do you know what drug you're taking and what it's supposed to do for you? 2. Do you know when to stop taking it? 3. Do you know what side effects or problems to watch for? i " 4. If you have questions about the drug prescribed for you, have you asked your doctor about it or considered getting a second opinion? The National Institute on Drug Abuse points out that a recent study shows sleeping pills reduce the time needed to fall asleep by only 10 to 20 minutes, increase a night's sleep by only 30 to 40 min- .utes;' and actually worsen in­ somnia with continuous use The study also shows that flurazepam (Dalmane), the most prescribed sleeping drug, can adversely alfect driving performance the day after voluntary health agpney nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education and research.
