Diabetes Week Is Observed Sixty years ago this November, a rare medical discovery enabled millions of Americans to survive a disease that killed most those stricken. The discovery of insulin, a natural hormone used to digest sugar, enabled diabetics to avoid and control the disease's symp­ toms. But diabetes remains a major American health problem. It directly affects 10 million, nearly five percent of the U.S. population. And the rate is increasing. The average person born today has a one- in-five chance of developing diabetes within his lifetime. Northern Illinois Affiliate, Inc., American Diabetes association, urges everyone to eat properly, exercise and have a regular checkup.

She didn't know it at the time. But an hour after the man left the Woodstock Driver's Examination center on South Illinois 47, it became clear when police telephoned the office notifying them that a man out on parole was believed to be driving in a stolen vehicle. Ms. Tyrrell says she en­ joys working with people and is especially good with the elderly. "I kid around with them and try to calm them down," she said. "You should see me when I have to take a test -- I'm a basket case. I feel for them." Ms. Tyrrell says on a busy day she examines 20 to 25 people, but she views her workload merely as more people to meet. Perhaps she picked up a little of her father's salesmanship. "It's more or less on-the- job training," said Super­ visor Frank McClatchey. Apprentice examiners are not thrust out into a world of Mr. Maggoo drivers right away, though. He said trainees accompany other instructors until they're ready to do it alone. McClatchey said it's not unusual to have 200 to 250 people a day visit the Woodstock office for license renewals, in addition to another 100 customers seeking driving permits and title transfers. Ms. Tyrrell is the type of person willing to do most anything, she says, except telling people they failed their driving exam. "Some get so upset they won't listen, but for most, after I explain it to them they un­ derstand why," she adds. It was an employment agency which pointed her toward the testing center. Following two years as a clerk and a couple weeks of special instruction in testing trucks and motorcycles, she took the road as an examiner. Ms. Tyrrell says she doesn't mind going out in the big 18-wheelers. '.'It's safer in a truck than in a car," she adds. She has been in a couple of accidents, which she attributes mainly to nervousness. "People move the gear shift when they should ptit their turn signal on." After graduating from high school, Ms. Tyrrell left Long Lake and went to Chicago. She moved in with one of four older sisters and began teaching dance at an area studio "something like Arthur Murray." she always wanted to be a dancer and took lessons as a kid. While there, she met her husband John, a salesman for ink products. They've ALEXANDER LUMBER CO.

Warped or bowed boards often can be straightened. Support each end of the board on concrete block and place weight in the center of the board until the board is no longer warped or bowed. It is not necessary to straighten the boards if they are to be used in construction against a rigid frame or wall where they can be forced into place and nailed securely. Traveling is one way of lengthening life, at least in appearance. --Benjamin Franklin Where will your family be Sunday?
