HEALTH TALK The Chronically 111 Because advancing age brings about many changes in tihie body, it. is important that our young people be educated on good ntf-, trition and good health while •they are still youing, according to a Health Talk issued by the educational committee of the Illinois Staite Medical society. The early (recognition of disease symptoms and the prompt seeking of competent medical attention are equally necessary to assure a healthy population of tomorrow. Even with (this, however, a vast army of persons is scheduled for chronic illness. The diseases causing chronic or long standing Ctlneas are icMseases of the heart, arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, hypertension or high blood pressure, cancer, disorders of the nervous system; nephritis and other kidney disorders; arthritis and rheumatism and tuberculosis. ,|Then there is (the natural process of growing old, called senility, marked by the slow deterioration of flfte natural functions of the badly and mind. Sometimes it means also ill health. Perhaps its worst mental phase is the feeling of inadequacy; the realisation ithait one is no longer being useful and active. Geriatrics is the relatively new medical tferm which cover the care of th? aged. 4 The care of (the old and the person with chronic illness is necessarily^ a community problem wihlch calls for understanding. No citizen who 'has worked to maintain himself can easily settle down to inactivity and dependence on another. Individuality is not lost in the person who, through illness or disability, loses physical independence. Rather, it is when the physical % "Ihtif li Mo Hot Water for Hours when Dad regenerates onr water softener" "*I wish these people who claim to regenerate a water softener in half an hour would show Dad how it's done.

Physical surroundings, living conditions, fear or worry and such social problems as an unsympathetic attitude on the part of the patient's family can aggravate illness of ail kinds. This is especially true of heart disease, diabetes, bipod pressure and oither chronic diseases. As in all walks of life, there are many persons in the chronic, illness class who refuse to leave their homes, even though finandgUy independent, pausing a severe emotional strain on the family. On tire other side, there are persons whose financial means are sound and who have no place to go for care, as well as persons whose financial* means do not permit long term private care. Thus the problem ranks high in every community. The care of the old and the person with chronic illness should' be a basic community interest. There should be well managed homes and related institutions in every community to care for these persons, affording a pattern of living that is akin to normal activity. . THEFT CHARGE B. J.

Chapter 41 Marengo Township As one enters Marengo township one becomes aware that here, indeed, is the best of the niiddle west.

And that's a major reason why Buick production and Buick sales are soaring to all-time highs today--and why Buick again is outselling all other cars, regardless^ f price range, except two of the well-known smaller cars. Big reason, too, for this soaring popularity is Buick's full line of automobiles, giving you a choice in any price class --the rock-bottompriced SPECIAL, the high-powered CENTURY, the supremely spacious SUPER, and the custom-built ROADMASTER. But above all, more and more people are discovering that the price you pay for a Buick buys more sheer automobile than the same money buys elsewhere. More advanced styling, more deepdown comfort, more pure power , thrill, more ride steadiness and handling ease and solidity of structure. More spectacular performance, too, from the modest extra cost of Buick's automatic transmission. For here you get Variable Pitch Dynaflowf--the new wonder drive born of modem aeronautics to give you instant full-power getaway and acceleration when needed--and far better gas mileage when cruising. Why not come see us this week, for sure? We'll be happy to have you test-pilot a new Buick, just for die sheet* thrill of it --and show»you quite clearly that if you can afford any new car, you can afford a Buick. fDynafiow Drift is sUndtrd on RosJmsst*r, OptiomJ gt *xtrm cost on .otbtr Strips.
