Women more susceptible to broken hips PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1M4 Question - "I know of five women past 70 who have had bad falls in their own houses that broke one of their hips. "Hie point of this letter is that I know of no men who have fallen and broken a hip. My doctor says there are indeed men who suffered broken hips, but not so many because it is something that is peculiar to women. Why is that so?" - Christiana A. Answer - Broken hips in the aging can come to those who are suffering from a little known disease that today mostly af­ fects some women after menopause, and who have fallen and broken a hip. The disease is called osteoporosis. It affects only one man in nine cases. It is a degenerative, bone-thinning disease that has become a costly national health problem - costly in terms of medical care, quality of life; and, in some cases, death. The disease is preventable, according to a number of medical sources. A brochure explaining the disease and preventative measures, can be obtained by sending a self- addressed, stamped envelope to Women's Health, 919 Third Avenue, 42nd Floor, New York, NY 10022. Question - "I need help in handling my life as I grow older. I have a chronic, debilitating disease and had to quit my job. I have enough income to get by all right, but the question is not Claim lack of resources to regulate hazardous waste Hazardous waste studies released by Attorney General Neil Hartigan and State Senate President Philip Rock reveal that the Illinois State Police lacks the resources needed to properly enforce regulations on the transportation of hazardous materials across the state. Rock and Hartigan, co- chairmen of the Illinois Hazardous Waste Task Force, said the final report of the Committee on Emergency Response maintains that the 45 state policemen presently assigned to the Hazardous Materials Section cannot adequately police the 17,000 trucks licensed to transport toxic materials across the state. The report urges the General Assembly to appropriate ad­ ditional funds to the Hazardous Materials Section, which presently can field only one to three persons in each State Police district to inspect vehicfee &nd enforce the law. "Illinois ranks fifth in the country in vulnerability with respect to hazardous materials," Hartigan said. "For example, an estimated 80 million tons of hazardous materials are transported each year on Illinois highways, 5,000 shipments are made on a daily basis, and that number is ex­ pected to double in the 1980's. Hartigan and Rock created the 100-member Task Force last year to examine the extent of the hazardous waste problem in Illinois, and to recommend a comprehensive, statewide policy for its management. The 10 working committees held extensive public hearings around the state to solicit testimony and evidence from environmental organizations, local government, state and federal experts, industry and the general public. The full Task Force will meet in March or April to adopt its final report, which will include a set of legislative recommendations. money but how to fill all the spare time I have. Up to now I have been engaged in numerous recreational activities. But when one is forced to face every day of doing only recreational things, the projects are no longer fun. Such activities irritate me and make me ner­ vous. Now I find each day a struggle to face. I feel useless, purposeless and without a reason to exist. I tried volun­ teering my time and help at a local hospital but they have me operating the reception desk and so all I do is sit. How does a person derive a sense of purpose in life after retirement?" - Mrs. Warner O. Answer - The solution is different for everyone. Some people find great purpose in working at a hospital reception desk. Some others discover great satisfaction in recreation. It doesn't have to be all shuf- fleboard or fishing. Recreation can be found in many different avenues. Mrs. Warner O. could be helped with letters from others who have found the means to get something purposeful out of life. I will forward the letter promptly. Address the letter to Mrs. Warner O., care of Past 65, Box 40757, Tucson, AZ 85717. Question - "Your comments in your column about the widow who used the phone company's long distance lines gave me an idea. She could get a job making sales solicitations on the phone. In the same column I read about the retired school principal's wife who wanted him to have his own office downtown. He doesn't need to rent an office. He could keep busy by working for free with a charity organization in an office they would give him." - Ms. P.H.Y. Answer - The point was missed. It is not that the lonely widow could not find something to do such as phone-selling. Nor is it that the retired principal could not get a job if he wished with a charitable organization where he would have an office. No. It is a matter of privacy. The widow wanted to talk about the weather and get a big kick out of innocently gypping the telephone company out of talking time. A sales job couldn't do it. The wife knows that the retired principal needs an office of his own, where he could go in privacy and lock the door if necessary.

Ries­ lings here have that familiar fruity, fresh aroma and taste, but they are dry as compared to Germany's and much of California's sweeter versions. The Sylvaner follows in the same steps. Gewurztraminer is riesling styled with a spicy-fruit additioiS. It is prolific also in Spain and California.
