But for Laura Baker it was a real experience to visit the grade school attended by both her mother, Mary Baker, and her grandfather, Mary's dad. Art, May and Laura Baker travelled to Strawberry Point, Iowa, last weekend and while there, they visited the Little Red school (that is the name given it), which is located in the rural area near Manchester, Iowa. The school is under the protection of the Iowa State Historical society, and is open to the.public two Sundays each month. The original school building on this site burned down around 1896-97, a tem-, porary building was erected, and then the present, per­ manent building constructed all Within a year's time. Mary's dad attended school in all three buildings in that year. All the original furnishings are still there in the school, although Mary said she noticed the wall clock was missing. One of the tour guides present while the folks were there was an old neighbor of Mary's family, so the visit was a double pleasure for her. While in Manchester, the folks visited Art's brother-in- law who is a patient in the hospital there. FAMILY REUNION The Fourth of July holiday was enjoyed by sixty members and friends of the Kenneth Cristy and Jay Cristy, Sr., families who gathered for a reunion at the Bill Cristy home. The weather was perfect and it* was an enjoyable day for all. CAMPING, ANYONE? Last week, Thursday, Jori and Drew Hanson, Lee fnd Scott Miller, Marcy and Eddie Erwin all went camping in the Spring Grove area with Doris and Walt Low. Doris tackled taking all six out on Thursday and then brought them home on Saturday. Walt did make an appearance each evening though . The kids enjoyed hiking, swimming, fishing and, of course, the campfire cooking at night. Pie Dies or Pudgy Pies were the greatest over a camp fire. AMTRAK RIDE Donna Erwin spent 10 days with her Aunt Linda and Uncle Bill Billikas in Dubuque, Iowa, and she returned last Saturday by Amtrak, to Rockford. Of course mom, Sue, had to pick Dohna up in Rockford. T'was fun and a different experience for Donna. BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday to Betti Winston on July 17, and to Craig Zvonar on July 18.

The area now comprising the States of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michi­ gan, once was a huge wilder­ ness known as the Northwest Territory. Prior to the enact­ ment of the Ordinance in 1787 and for a short time thereafter, it was the scene of many bloody conflicts between fron­ tiersmen and the Indians. Some of the most romantic and colorful names from our Nation's past-George Rogers Clark and Gen. Anthony ("Mad Anthony") Wayne among them-were prominent in this pioneer surge to claim and defend this vast territory. At the Battle of Fallen Timbers in August, 1794, Wayne finally defeated the Indians. Peace terms were an­ nounced in July, 1795, at Fort Green Ville. Following Wayne's victory, a host of hardy "settlers" entered the area and laid the foundations for the eventual creation of the five States, beginning with Ohio in 1803 and ending with Wisconsin in 1848. - Inconsistent Bill: I've eaten beef all of my life and now I'm strong as a bull.

FRONT ST. MeHENRY CALL 385-5700 week I'd like to talk about several different things, the first of which will be the "California Stop" or the more midwestern term, the "Rolling Stop". For those of you who are not familiar with either of these terms, they relate to the ap­ proach of a vehicle to a stop sign, the significatn slowing of the vehicle short of a complete stop, >. and the proceeding through the intersection ef the vehicle without coming to a complete stop. In any term used to describe this , maneuver, the maneuver itself is not only quite illegal, but is also a very dangerous habit. The law states that upon the approach of a vehicle to a stop sign, the ' vehicle must come to a complete stop prior to the intersection, and then, and only then may the vehicle proceed through the in­ tersection, after the drive has Checked the cross street for any other traffic. "Any other traffic" also includes people walking across the street, bicyclists, etc., along with other vehicles. The dangers should be obvious in that* there may be another vehicle on the cross street which does not have to stop at that particular intersection and which may have its vision blocked partially by a building or a hedgerow or some other obstacle, or a ' pedestrian walking across with the same vision obstructions. another vehicle or a pedestrian, the fault would be yours because you failed to obey the traffic control device. Please, whenever you come to a stop intersection, obey the sign and do just what it says, STOP. ' There are still a great amount of vehicles being driven on the roadwAys that are in a sad state of disrepair, and some of them are downright dangerous to the people driving them and riding in them, not to mention the other people on the road also. Vehicles that are still being driven with only headlight, one or no taillights or brake lights, missing body parts, etc., are, more or less, accidents looking for places to happen. I saw one vehicle go down Green street with its muffler pipe broken near the front of the car, and it was hanging down and hitting the street. I'm sure that the driver didn't realize, until I told him,, that the pipe hanging down there could catch on a bump in the road or something else and be forced backwards and pierce the gasoline tank, with the resulting sharks setting the gasoline off in) an explosion, possibly killing the occupants, and possible hurting the people on the sidewalk next to the vehicle. I know that we have all been driving down the road and have had another vehicle come at us from the opposite direction, and the other vehicle only had one headlight showing because the other was either burned out or broken, and we sat there and wondered which headlight was the one working, and were not sure that the other vehicle was in the proper lane of traffic so as to avoid a head-on accident. Or how about driving along behind another car that had proper taillights, but the vehicle suddenly, and without warning, slowed down to turn or stop and you never saw a brake light because they weren't working? I know that it must seem that I'm harping on this subject because I have written so many other times about the same problem, but the problem hasn't stopped being there, and in fact, it seems to be getting worse. Are you all aware that the Police department can and does issue citations for any and All of these thing when veh­ icles with these problems are stopped? The fines for any of these offenses can be very expensive, and in most cases, it would have been cheaper for the owner to repair the broken parts than to pay for the ticket. It costs enough these days to drive a vehicle, what with the gas prices the way there are ; lets not have to pay a ticket on top of that also. Have a nice week! The Health Of The Heart People who are suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) are often given a treadmill exercise test. Their responses to several minutes of strenuous exercise can tell the physician a great deal about the health of their hearts. This widely used examination can be made even more informative, according to a report presented recently to the American Heart association's fifty-first scientific sessions. David S. Sheps, M.D., director of the coronary care unit at Jackson Memorial hospital, Miami, Fla., said the increased diagnostic yield comes from scrutiny of a test result that has always been obtained, but not used. "Diastolic blood pressure response to exercise has been largely ignored," Dr. Sheps said. His study ipdicates that certain changes in this measurement can detect CAD even when other test results, including electrocardiograms, appear normal. Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure in the arteries when the heart is resting and filling between pumping strokes. Systolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts to pump blood. The two values are expressed in millimeters of mer&ury (mmHg). For in­ stance! 120-80 mmHg means that a person had a systolic (pumping) pressure of 120 and a diastolic (resting) pressure of 80, a normal reading for a healthy adult. When patients take the treadmill exercise test, their heart rate and their systolic blood pressure normally in­ crease dramatically. But the diastolic pressure stays the same or drops slightly. In some patients, the diastolic reading goes up-and Dr. Sheps says that this change can be a good indicator of CAD. In Dr. Sheps' research, 281 patients took the treadmill exercise test.Their blood S.L. Ruggero, M.D., S.C. announces the association of Dr. Gregory P. Daly in the practice of Family Medicine Co/rtmencing, August 1, 1979 7404 Hancock Dr. Wonder Lake lit. 815-653-2131 By Appointment Only pressures were takfen at rest, at each stage of exercise, and four times in the first five minutes after exercise. The diastolic reading was considered ab­ normal if it increased more than 15 mmHg above the resting value on any two readings. (Patients who had abnormal systolic readings ^during exercise were not in­ cluded in the series). Seventy-two patients had abnormal diastolic pressures and 209 were normal. Later, 41 patients drawn from both groups underwent coronary angiography, an x-ray technique in which an opague dye is injected to outline the coronary arteries. There were 18 patients in this group whose diastolic pressure had been normal. Nine had normal coronary arteries as seen on angiography. In contrast, only 4 of the 23 with abnormal diastolic pressure readings had normal arteries. Most (74 percent) of the patients with elevated diastolic pressures also had ab­ normalities in the contraction of the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber. Only 33 percent of those with normal diastolic responses had this defect. Shocking "See that girl over there?" "Sure-very pretty girl." "She takes rings from men she don't even know.
