Early trearment
Aid to diabetics
If you had diabetes before 1921,
you didn't give loo much thought
to leading a normal life — you
worried about death. Then, re-
searchers discovered insulin — a
[Kirtein hormone — and .1 daily
shot bellied keep you alive.
Although the discovery of insulin
was a major scientific discovery,
the search continued for an orally
active antidiabetes medication.
Such a medication has now been
found and your doctor or local
health department can discuss it
with you. Some diabetics are able
to control the disease with the new
oral medication. Those able to do
this are no longer a slave to the
needle, which is used when inject-
ing insulin. And, hopefully, those
who are treated early enough seem
to have fewer complications later
in life — problems with sight, kid-
neys, heart, circulation or nerves.
Dialx'tes is your body's inability
to use food properly — especially
sugars and starches Diabetics
have difficulty turning these sug-
ars and starches into energy, which
the ixxly must have to operate
normally.
Insulin affects the body's use of
ft km! by regulating the use of sugar,
which in luin supplies the energy
that keeps our I indies going
Half the people who have dia-
betes don't know it. 'IIicy need to
I find out. Here are some of (lie
l symptoms which may mean you
i have diabetes:
Excessive thirst, frequent urina
lion, excessive hunger, weight loss,
failing eyesight, intense itching,
ptrin in fingers and Iocs, weakness,
tiredness and drowsiness.
Not all these symptoms are
present in every diabetic. Some
diabetics have only one or two
symptoms. Others don't have any
apparent symptoms and are called
"hidden" diabetics.
Periodic blood tests can uncover
| hidden diabetics. In addition, Tcx-
| as and other stales, participate
j periodically in diabetic detection
{ programs whereby the local health
department and: migrant health
I program personnel screen what is
| known as "high risk groups." In
Texas these group.- include: close
j blood relatives, at 15 years of age
or over, particularly; obese per-
sons, 15 years of age or older; and
i parents of large babies (nine
I pounds or more at birth) when the
■ parent is 15 years of age or older,
| The Te\a. Stale Department of
Health stresses the importance of
! lidding bidden diabetics for three
reasons: one the earlier diabetes
is delected, the easier you can con-
trol it; two, the more healthy you
can stay; and three, the more
normal lite you can lead.

ioff. the quality of his worl
minishcs, and gn
quired to do lei
ater effort is re-
do less and less. We
know then that a night's sleep, or
a walk in the woods, or a week-
end trip, or even a coffee break
is needed I am always surprised
when 1 try to write, how a nights
sleep will sharpen p my wits and
how much easier the right words
come early in the morning.
A woman who had just lost her
husband after a long and happy
marriage to him, told how she
found comfort digging in her yard.
Her friends helped; her scripture
reading and prayer helped, and
her household tasks helped. But
the grief left over after all these
were done was dissolved by dig-
ging in the earth I do not know
jusi why the bosom of the earth
has such [lower to heal, unless it
is that the Earth is our Mother.
There may be .something symbolic,
as well as practical in lowering the
bodies of our lost loved ones into
the earth, as if we were letting
Mother Earth enfold lliem again
in her arms.
Woodland camps are full of
young people each summer Lakes
are often crowded with fishermen
and campers. Beaches are full of
boaters and srfers Mountains
have trails made by the feet of
many hikers. National and State
Parks are sometimes crowded with
people. I think this shows how
sound the basic nature of the aver-
age person is. We need the rest
and the renewal often found closer
to the earth.
One of the best trends in Allien
can life today, I think, is the
growing custom oi city families
buying small acreages ol land in
the country. Here to a camp col-
lage. a mobile home, or even ,i
shack, these families may come
on holidays and weekends, In our
own family some of our most
memorable events were our sum
liner trailer trips or autumn hunt
ing camps in the woods I wish
it were possible lot overs family
in the nation lo have a little piece
of woods for .is very own, say,
about five acres or more
'Ibis truth ahoul us has spiritual
meaning, as well as physical. Jesus
often said to the twelve men who
were his closest friends. "Come
apart for a while, lo rest and pray."
The scripture says nliout Ilim that
lie sometimes arose a great while
before day and went out alone
jKThaps to the desert or wildei
ncss. Sometimes he borrowed a
| friend's IkiiiI and went out on the
lake of Galilee lie was often un-
der so much pressun . and il was
beautiful on Galilee at sundown,
or in a desert at dawn.
When one is wrestling with a
decision, or trying lo see values
and issues clearly, no environment
! is so helpful as some quiet place
away from people, where one con-
fronts only himself, his problem,
and God Then lie is able to go
back to the world of work and
(obligation, refreshed and renewed
for whatever task may be Ins lot.

During the past years I have
observed that people responded
with open hearts and helpful hands
to those in need. And now there is
a desperate need that will require
the combined effort and love of all
our residents. I speak, of course, of
the desperate fight of li'tle Linda
Diaz Linda is engaged in a real
fight — il is a fight live. And be-
cause of the seriousness of her ill-
in '.ss she cannot svin this fight
alone. She needs the help of her
physicians, her priest, her family,
and her friends She has bilateral
kidney failure and has no kidney
function. She now has a kidney
machine in her home to use twice
weekly. A kind young lady has
agreed to volunteer lo train for
operation of tlie machine, which
requires that she travel at least
two times per week lo Austin where

a kidney machine at Brackcnridgc
Hospital is serving Linda. Some
needed supplies have been donated
and we are praying for the dona-
tion of other needed medical sup-
plies to operate the dialysis unit
(kidney machine 1. In approximate-
ly (i to 12 months a kidney trans-
plant will be performed on Linda
at the John Scaly Hospital in Gal-
veston. The expense will be very
great to supply her medical needs
prior to the transplant, and we are
earnestly asking for financial do-
nations to provide this medical
service. A Iwmk account has been
established at the Elgin National
Bank for Linda in the name of the
Capital Kidney Foundation (litis is
a non-profit organization engaged
for the purpose of buying the need-
ed supplies as funds are available).
All gifts will be tax-deductible.

you may join a select list of 20
persons agreeing lo give $5.00 a
