TMenSH BIRTHS FISH volunteers are delighted at the response of the community to our last column, which stressed the need for many articles, particularly food and furniture The telephone of the volunteer who places furniture rang constantly this last week. Three stoves, a washing machine, chairs, beds and dressers were offered, gratefully accepted, and promptly placed in the homes where they were so needed. It is surprising how quickly this was all ac­ complished. We spoke of the family whose T.V. had worn out. A T.V, in perfect condition was donated for them. We are still in need of beds and dressers. Our pantry received many food donations in generous amounts. And checks for food were sent. One hears so many heartwarming stories. One couple living on social security donated groceries, and said they would do so every month. A woman came to the pantry with bags and bags of food - 100 lbs. of potatoes, jars of peanut butter, all kinds of good food ~ well over $200 worth of groceries. She wanted to be assured that her name would not be men­ tioned; she felt she was very blessed and wanted to share. But, of course, our groceries, too, go out as fast as they come in, as food is always the most immediate need. The glow from all this cooperative generosity surely brightens the winter skies for all of us. AFW Ronald and Pamela Doherty, 1501 N.

WARNING SIGNS It is important that you and your family recognize the signs of sudden cardiac death and know what to do when they appear. Sudden cardiac death, responsible for over 400,000 fatalities every year in the United States, is often avoidable. Health authorities say that with proper d iagnos i s , recogni t ion , and treatment of the symptoms, deaths could be reduced. The sudden cardiac death caused -by arrhythmia--an electrical accident in the heart--often comes with no warning. But the sudden cardiac death that results from heart attack is clearly signaled in most cases. Although chest pain is a common warning, it is sometimes confused wi th ind iges t ion and often denied. The victim may complain of an excruciating squeezing sensation, in the center of the chest, which is„ likely to radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. Pain of this nature, lasting two minutes or more, may indicate that a heart attack is in progress. In addition to those sensations, there are other visible signs, inc lud ing heavy sweat ing , pa l lor , weakness , nausea , possible vomiting and palpitations. Unfortunately, the typical victim waits an average of three hours before heeding the warning and more than half die before reaching the hospital. In sudden cardiac death resulting from arrhythmias, there is often no warning signal. The appropriate action here is to detect and prevent a potentially serious arrhythmia from occurring. An arrhythmia is often signaled when a person complains of a racing or pounding heart or of apparent "missed" beats , part i cu lar ly when there is no exercise or emotional provocation. According to doctors,-, other signs of arrhythmia can be McHENRY MARKET PLACE 385-4100 spurgeons Family Hairstyling Center SAVE 385-4520 Some Clearance Merchandise Reduced 40 to 55%!
