According to a recent Univer­ sity of California study, the most realistic way to tell how persons will live and behave when they are 70. is to see what they were like at 30 Examining 142 mostly middle- class residents of the San Fran­ cisco Bay Area over a period of 40 years, the study found that for many old age merely continued what earlier years had launched For example, the study found that elderly women who are depressed, fearful, full of self- doubt and suffering from low ac­ tivity levels showed the same traits when thev were 30 In contrast, groups of women who enjoyed life and had busy social and work schedules when they were young followed the same self-satisfying patterns in later years Men and women who seemed the most worrisome and pre-oc- cupied with their health, and who had the poorest health in their youth, turned out to be the sickest elderly group The study is reported in a new book "From Thirty to Seventy." by Henry S Maas and Joseph A Kupyers Their study is believed to be the first to collect extensive psychological data from the same persons in young adulthood and later in old age Band Instrument Rentals FROM TONES Let your child experience the joy of performing in the school band.

I 'SERVING A7MUSICAL McHENRY SINCE 1964" 815-385-4646 TONES Glaucoma - Going Blind Without Any Warning sB a "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" BETSY ALTHOFF ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. James L. Althoff of 508 North Green street, McHenry, announce the engagement of their daughter, Betsy, to Thomas J. Les, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Les, 7048 Grennan place, Niles, 111. Both are 1975 graduates of Bradley university in Peoria. Miss Althoff is employed as an elementary teacher in McHenry and Mr. Les as assistant controller for a local business firm. A July 10,1976, wedding is planned. Generally speaking, people in their mid-30's are at or nearing the most productive time of their lives: families are young and growing, careers are demanding. It is, in short, a period of much resp6nsibility. At a time like this, to be faced with a permanent, life-altering handicap like blindness could be a devastating setback. So often, too, such tragedy could have been easily avoided. A case in point is glaucoma -- ironically, the nation's second leading cause of blindness .even though the disease can be diagnosed and treated early enough to prevent appreciable loss of sight. Most prone are those in the 35-pius age group. Of these people, one in 50 (a total of 1,733,000) in the U.S. suffers from glaucoma, according to estimates of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. In its early stages, the disease is usually symptom- free to the untrained observer. There is no pain, swelling, or redness - yet slowly, in­ sidiously, vision is being destroyed. Only through a professional examination can an accurate diagnosis be made, which is why the Society ad­ vises a checkup at least every other year after age 35. An eye specialist can do it as a part of a routine examination, or a preliminary community glaucoma screening may help. Glaucoma is associated with too much fluid pressure within the eye. This pressure cuts off blood supply to the tiny nerve cells and fibers that line the retina of the eye, and so eventually will destroy the cells that carry vision to the optic nerve and the brain. The destruction is not reversible, but if the glaucoma is detected early enough, blindesscan be avoided in most cases. Usually with regular, con­ tinuing medication, in the form of prescription eyedrops, the progress of the disease can be halted and further loss of sight prevented. The sooner treat­ ment begins, the better are the chances for saving sight. "The really distressing part," says Virginia S. Boyce, executive director of the Society, "is that close to one million Americans are living today with undiagnosed glaucoma. And as long as they don't know it, and the disease remains untreated, their eyesight is in serious jeopar­ dy" In their constant efforts to reach these people, the National Society and its twenty- two affiliates sponsor glaucoma screenings in communities throughout the country. These screenings, which utilize a simple procedure called tonometry, help find individuals who have this disease. The test pinpoints people with a suspicious in­ crease in eye pressure, alerting them to the need for professional care. The Society hopes to expand these screening projects by enlisting additional sponsoring groups - more hospitals and medical centers, medical societies, other health associations, and civic, fraternal and other service groups.
