Sound Advice
Meet the hearing
aid designed for
twentieth
century noise.
By Ray Jones
This revolutionary new be-
hind-the-ear aid combines the
convenience of a behind-the-ear
aid with compression and pow-
er features normally found on
larger units.
How does it work? Beauti-
fully. It gives greater amplifica-
tion to sounds you don’t hear
now (like speech), while playing
down the effect of louder
sounds (the loud, irritating,
sounds of the twentieth-cen-
tury). The result, in medium to
severe cases, is improved hear-
ing and improved peace of
mind.
If you have
a hearing
problem of
any kind, or J
you need
service on :<
your aid, we
invite you to
come in. We
offer you pro-
fessional
experienced
service.
Hearing
test at no
cost to you.

Sickle Cell
Anemia Drive
Is Aided Here
Literature for the Sickle Cell
Anemia Drive was distributed in
Clifton Saturday oy seventh grade
students of Mrs. Mary B. Prince.
The drive, sponsored by the
Women's Missionary Society of
the A.M.E. Church. Waco Dis-
trict, is being conducted here by
Mrs. Prince.
Those assisting in the cam-
paign here included:
Mrs. T. N. Foster, coordinator.
Messengers: Tammy Amund-
son, Barbara Anz, Monica Phil-
lips, Jeff Barnett, Billie Joann
Anz, Julie Krueger, La Vonda
Bates, Nancy Carpenter, Twila
Wallace, and Alan Davidson.
Posters were made by Debbie
McDowell, Julie Curlee, Sherry
Conrad, Sherry Finstad, Linda
Poston, Lisa Abercrombie, Bar-
bara Anz, and Monica Phillips.
According to Mrs. Prince, sic-
kle cell is an inherited concition
that is caused by a slightly-
changed hemoglobin in the red
blood cells. The two forms of
sickle cell are sickle cell trait,
a mild form, or sickle cell
anemia, a spvere crippling form.
Sickle cell comes mainly from
Africa. Persons with sickle ceil
anemia need continuing medical
ateention and some require fre-
quent hospitalization.
No cure has been found for
sickle cell anemia. However,
with an increaed interest in sickle
cell, more research is antici-
pated, Mrs. Prince said.
Contributions to the drive may
be sent to Mrs. Prince at the
school or to Mrs. Foster, Route 2,
Clifton.
