Distinctive entertain-

This year's Meeting

members are encoraged to
participate in this

Memorial Wellness Center
will be hard to render
blood pressure checks
and cholesterol screen-
ing. Other valuable in-

will also be available.
With the rising cost of
health care these days,
this is an excellent op-
portunity to receive in-
formation about your
health that may save you
time and money in the
future.
Three directors will be
elected during the busi-
ness session. Conduct-
ing this portion of the
meeting will be Board
President, Charles Ran-
dolph from Cherokee,
General Manager Robert
A. Loth III from Fred-
ericksburg, and Board
Secretary-Treasurer Fred
Kettner from Mason.
A popular conclusion to
this annual event is the
awarding of free atten-
dance prizes (over $2000
value this year ) to
those participating in
person, and to bring the
special registration
card attached to the
back cover of the Annual
Report booklet mailed
out this month; or to
send in the proxy card
on the back cover, if
they are unable to at-
tend in person.
The annual Meeting is a
family event that pro-
vides an opportunity for
fellowship and fun, as
well as allowing each
member to help in making
important decisions con-
cerning their Coopera-
tive .
HOW TO TREAT
NOSE BLEEDS
Houston-~Nosebleeds are
an annoying problem, but
they can usually be
treated wtih simple
first aid.
Dr. John K. Jones, an
otorhinolaryngologist at
Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston re-
commends :
* Applying pressure to
the soft part of the
nose for several
minutes. Do not apply
pressure to the hard
bony portion.
* Soaking a piece of
cotton in nasal drops
such as Neosinephron.
Pack the cotton in the
nose.
* Placing a humidifier
in the room, especial-
ly during winter when
heaters can dry the
air. Dry nasal pas-
sages are more likely
to bleed.
* Discouraging child-
ren from placing their
fingers in their
noses. This is the
leading cause of nose-
bleeds in children.
If bleeding cannot be
stopped in 20 minutes, a
physician should be con-
sulted .
ALIEN LIFE COULD
BE COMING
Is there intelligent
life on other worlds?
Does it resemble the
cuddly,tear-shaped crea-
ture of Steven Spiel-
berg's "ET" or maybe the
9-foot-tall, gas-breath-
ing Psychlos of Ron Hub-
bard's "Battlefield
Earth"? And if they de-I
cide to visit Earth,
will they come as
friends or foe?
A nationwide poll of
nearly 1,500 people-
including a number of
leading astronomers and
astrophysicists con-
ducted by the nation-
ally syndicated televi-
sion show Dateline: USA
found that more than
70% of those surveyed
believe that there is
intelligent life else-
where in the universe,
perhaps even in our own |
Milky Way galaxy.
Opinion was evenly di-
vided on whether they
would be hostile or
loveable if they came
here, but nearly 80%
were convinced that
alien technology would
be more advanced than
ours: it would have to
be to permit them to
cross millions of light
years of space.
Sixty-five percent of f
the Dateline: USA re- \
spondents felt that I
we'd be conquered or 1
annihilated if an alien
race invaded Earth,
while 25 percent were
sure we would ultimate-
ly defeat the invaders,
no matter how techno- il-
logical ly superior. Ten
percent had no opinion
or felt they "wouldn't
be around" to find out
how such a confronta-
tion turned out.
Producers of the cable
television show said m
the national survey was 7
inspired by three cur- |
rent developments: the
$100 million NASA/SETI ;
{Search for Extra Ter- l
restrial Intelligence} v?
project; the new edi- I
tion of Hubbard's inter-
national science fiction
bestseller "Battlefield
Earth"; and the release
of the film "Fire In The
Sky" depicting Travis
Walton's account of his
abduction by alien
beings.
Dr. Yoji Kondo, astro-
hysicist at Goddard
Space Labs, told Date-
line :USA that we "can't
assume that the thinking
processes of another in-
telligent species on an-
other planet, revolving
around an alien sun in
some distant galaxy,
would be similar to
ours. If they are tech-
nologically advanced, we
can't be sure they'd
even think it worthwhile
to attack and plunder a
chemical wasteland."
Astronomer and Physic-
ist Kevin J. Anderson
says that despite the
current view of biolo-
gists. "who is to say
that totally alien forms
of life-not based on our
carbon-cycle-- cannot be
born in a sea of magnet-
ic fields on the surface
of a star,or that civil-
izations of carbon-based
life ' similar ' to ours
could not develop under
oceans, flyinq high in
clouds or burrowing un-
derground?" virtually
all of the people sur-
veyed agreed that alien
beings from other worlds
will not "look like us."
Opinions on extra ter-
restrial shapes and
sizes varied widely from
tear or pear-shaped
creatures ana furred,
taloned giants to winged
lizards and intelligent
1ight-forms.
Tin* art of teaching is the art
of assisting discovery.

A tornado at sea is known

An oil aromatized with
dill, basil, mint, or rosemary
may be used to season
noodles, macaroni and

A small flat sponge or
paper towel kept in your
refrigerator vegetable bin
can absorb much of the ex-

there.
