Your Health Middle Age Vision Adults nearing age 40 often become concerned and alarmed as they suddenly realize they're having trouble finding a name in the telephone directory. Middle aged eyes can continue to serve efficiently throughout life if vision proMems are detected early and properly corrected, assures Dr. Paul Randolph, a DeKalb optometrist and president-elect of the Illinois Optometric Association (IOA). "Save Your Vision" month, scheduled for March, is sponsored by the IOA to emphasize the importance of preventive vision care. This year's theme is "Plan Today To See Tomorrow." * "One of the most common vision conditions affecting middle aged adults is presbyopia - the gradual loss of focusing ability, particularly at normal reading distance. "Although presbyopia seems to change one's vision capability suddenly, it ac tually starts about age 10. However, it is not usually noticeable until between the ages of 40 and 45 when changes may appear to be more rapid," explains Dr. Randolph. The usual solution for this vision problem is bifocal or multi-focal lenses, which enable the wearer to see both distant and near objects. The IOA offers some suggestions for middle aged adults when they experience vision problems: -Have a complete op tometric examination each year. Periodic lens changes may be necessary to ac commodate the continuing, gradual losk^ of *fddiSing' ability. A professional examination may also detect early signs of cataracts, glaucoma or retinal diseases which can cause blindness if not treated. -Increase the amount of light used for reading and other activities which require near vision skills. As the eye ages, it often requires seven times as much light as younger eyes to perform the same task. -Recognize limitations while driving at night and adjust driving habits ac cordingly. -Maintain a well-balanced diet. Proper nutrition can e l i m i n a t e v i t a m i n deficiencies which may be linked to damaging vision conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma and blinding retinal disorders, as well as night blindness.

Whole buildings disappear and only their basements are left. No one can stop a tornado; but there are precaution you can take to safeguard lives. The peak tornado season in Illinois -is gen recognized as late March and through June. There is little that can be done to avoid the property destruction tornadoes bring; but tornadoes do not have to be killers. You can take precautions when a storm' threatens and thereby save lives. A tornado is a severe storm. The winds in a tor nado usually turn counter clockwise with wind speeds that Vary from under 100 miles per hour to ap proaching 300 miles per hour. Tornadoes do their destructive work through the combined action of their strong rotary winds and flying debris. Most tornadoes move from the southwest to the nor theast. Generally, tornadoes occur in the spring in the late afternoon on a hot day. But remember, tornadoes can happen at any time. Easy To Recognize You'll have no trouble recognizing an actual , tor nado! Most tornadoes are funnel-shaped or rope-like clouds extending down from the base of a thunder cloud. As it touches earth, it writhes and twists throwing up debris in all directions. It is often accompanied by hail, violent thunderstorms and wind. Its noise is so loud it can blot out the sound of crashing buildings and falling trees. When the skies look threatening, listen to the radio. The National Weather Service tracks all weather systems with sophisticated radar and is usually able to give adequate advance warning of violent weather conditions. A Tornado Watch means the atmospheric conditions are such that tornadoes could develop. A Tornado Warning means an actual funnel has been sighed in your area. War nings are usually . ac companied with a description of the speed and direction of travel of the •funnel. -Mbny^dWhmunities have also arranged special warning systems such as sounding warning sirens. When a watch is issued, listen to broadcast ad visories, be ready to take cover. It is wise to collect a battery-powered light and radio and have, family members within earshot under watch conditions.# Also, take your car keys; should a tornado hit your area, your car may still bis operable-but keys could be lost in the rubble. 0 Immediate Action 1 When a tornado threatens, immediate action can save lives. Stay away from windows, doors, outside walls ana protect your head. In homes or other small buildings go to the basement or a place in the middlr of the house, like a closet, ' bathroom Or interior hall. Get under something sturdy. * In school, be calm and follow the direction* of your teacher. Stay away from auditoriums and gym nasiums with wide, hug4 roofs that 'could collapse easily. In shopping centers or very large buildings look for a predesignated - shelter. If there isn't any, a middle hallway on the lowest floor is the next best place to take shelter. In mobile homes or cars, leave them and find shelter in a building. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine or culvert with your hands' shielding your head.

VILLAGE MEETING The Village of Sunnyside held its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 2. The budget for the for thcoming fiscal year is still taking precedence. The finance committee and board are hard at work to get the budget done. The new fiscal year starts May . President Mitchell is talking of combining the dedication of the new hall <v with a village picnic. The past two years with the village hall in the process of •- being built we didn't have the annual picnic, which residents have always looked forward to and everyone always enjoyed. There were free food and tirinks and games and prizes. Things are just starting to be planned; so watch for more on the big event. The public relations and publicity committee are starting to plan the event. This will give the park committee a chance to work on getting the landscaping and parking lot completed. The developers of Shiloh Ridge asked for a 12-month extension before they must submit their final plat for approval. The state of the economy is preventing most builders and developers from making any final plans at this time. WARNING In recent weeks signs have been going up along Wilmot road in the village. There is an ordinance that states you must have a permit from the village to erect a sign anywhere in the village. Failure to obtain this permit is going to result in the signs being taken down. DEADLINE PAST - Feb. 28 was the deadline for displaying the current 1982 village vehicle sticker. Anyone who is stopped in the village and is a village resident will receive a ticket and $10 fine. Plus the stickers must be purchased. Failure to pay the ticket within 10 days will result in an additional $10 fine plus the cost of the sticker.
