Music Is "Good Therapy" For Veterans
At VA hospitals across the country, music therapy
programs provide a whole range of beneficial effects on
veterans — young and Old alike. In the operating room,
for example, music is used to reduce tension and assist
in "guided imagery" techniques. For individuals with
spinal cord damage, music is used as relaxation therapy.
Since the early 1950s, music has been considered
"good therapy” for hospital patients. The first formal-
ized, degreed program in music therapy was at the Uni-
versity of Kansas, where students trained at the nearby
Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) in
Topeka. At that time, students noted that music had a
"soothing effect" on veterans returning from the war,
but most music therapy programs were confined to
limited cases.
Beginning in the 1960s, research was published which
emphasized the positive effects of music therapy pro-
grams for both children and adults with physical disabili-
t les. By the 1970s, music therapy was seen as an impor-
tant part of rehabilitation in geriatric and long-term care.
Today, the value of music therapy programs in VA
hospitals is widely recognized. More young profession-
als are entering music therapy careers with the VA —
and the number of formal music therapy programs at
VA hospitals has grown in the last five years from 15 to
34.
An extension of the VA's music therapy program is
the unique National Music Festival for Disabled Veter-
ans held each year in Washington, D.C. Social interac-
tion, goal setting, and mutual respect — these are some
of the byproducts from participation in the Music Festi-
val The program, co-sponsored by the Veterans Ad-
ministration and the Paralyzed Veterans of America
(PVA), is now running five years strong.
For four decades, PVA has been in the forefront of
ensuring quality care and rehabilitation for all paralyzed
veterans. "We are committed to enhance and improve
the quality of life for disabled veterans and increase
public awareness of their abilities," says PVA Executive
Director R. Jack Powell.
PVA's members — 11,000 veterans, all of whom have
catastrophic paralysis caused by spinal cord injury or di-
sease - would agree that the National Music competi-
tion is not only an important part of rehabilitation, but
also a lesson in courage and determination for partici-
pating veterans. "The ability to perform and express
oneself through music is an opportunity to demonstrate
one's talents and triumphs," adds Powell. For many of
the winners of the National Music Festival competition,
travelling to Washington, D.C. is a new experience, and
performing in public is a lifelong dream come true.
The VA's music therapy programs on the local level
— and the extension of the VA's programs on the natio-
nal level with the Music Festival — can change a VA pa
tient's life, notes Powell.
A VA music therapist described the changes in a male
VA patient: he arrived at a local VAMC hostile and anx-
ious, and was considered suicidal. Each week, the music
therapist would play the piano and encourage him to
sing along. First, he performed at the local talent show.
A year later, he was taken off the "suicide status" list.
Another VA patient who is blind and has MS began
working with a music therapist who played the guitar.
While at first he was hesitant, the young veteran began
to gain confidence —and began to write his own music.
By the time he had won the National Music Festival
competition, he had gained sufficient independent living
skills to arrange all his personal care and travel plans.
"The National Music Festival for Disabled Veterans
demonstrates the tremendous impact that music can
make in the lives of our members," says Powell, noting
that three of the 1985 national winners were PVA
members.
"The National Music Festival was the highlight of my
life,” says one national winner. "It got me rolling in the
right direction, and gave me more confidence. The pro-
gram makes an individual feel more valuable and able to
do more things. A little encouragement can mean a
whole lot."

Read 1 Kings 17:8-16
Give, and it shall be given
unto you. Luke 6:38 (KJV)
When the prophet Elijah
arrived, the widow of
Zarephath was preparing to
cook a cake from the last of the
meal in the barrel and the last
of the oil in the jar. Elijah asked
for a cup of water. As the
widow was going for the water,
he asked for a bite of bread,
too. Would this stranger take
the last bite of bread from her
son? But God as dealing with
both Elijah and the widow.
Elijah promised that if she
obeyed, God would supply her
meal barrel as long as the
drought lasted. And God did.
God’s promises are sure.
Many years ago 1 was a
teacher. Our pastor used this
story in a sermon, pantomiming
the widow pouring oil out of the
pitcher, “As she poured out,
God poured in.” Instantly the
Spirit revealed to me, “That is
what God has called you to
do to pour out your life as a
pastor, your love, prayers,
talent, energy to people in
need, in the assurance that as
you pour out yourself, God will
pour in, and your barrel will
never be empty.”
Thirty-nine years later I am a
retired pastor. My testimony is
this: As I have poured out, God
has abundantly poured in.
PRAYER: Dear God, may
we have faith to believe and to
obey. In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
Thought For The Day; God
comes to us in Jesus; let us give
ourselves to God.

1 O' Fee Per Book On
Hardin County hay produc-
ers should submit samples of
hay cutting before 5 p. m. Sept.
30 to be judged in the Oct. 19
Hay Show for local producers,
according to Clarence Moeller,
chairman of the Hardin County
Beef and Forage Committee.
Samples entered in tjje shotfr
will receive a complete forage
analysis from the Forage Test-
ing Lab at Texas A & M
University. The analysis will
include the crude protein, di
gestible protein and percentag-
es of phosphorous and potass-
ium in the samples.
David H. Bade, extension
forage specialist for the upper
coast district of the state will
begin judging at 2 p. m. Bade
and L. R. Sprott, a beef cattle
specialist, will qonduct a semin-
ar at 7 p.m. in the Hardin
County auditorium on the eco-
nomics of forage procuction and
supplemental feeding.
Samples from squares bales
should be six-inch blocks tied
with string. Round bale samp-
les should consist of a standard
grocery sack full tied with
string. Each sample submitted
for analysis will cost $6, and
checks should be made to the
Hardin County 4 H Council.
Moeller has asked that pro-
ducers fill out a hay sample
information form when turning
in their samples. The forms are
available in the county exten-
sion agent’s office in the court
house and at many local fed
stores in the county.
Keeping Healthy
Tonsils: Take Them
or Leave Them?
Throat specialists are beginning
to see older, increasingly compli-
cated cases for tonsillectomies -
the result of controversy sur-
rounding tonsil and adenoid sur-
gery in the 1960’s. These are, pri-
marily, people in their late teens
and twenties who were couriselled
against tonsillectomies as chil-
dren.
According to the American
Academy of Otolaryngology -
Head and Neck Surgery, tonsil-
lectomy remains an extremely
valuable treatment for properly
selected patients, and those pa-
tients can expect the removal of
tonsils and adenoids to substan-
tially reduce the frequency of
chronic sore throats and, possibly,
car infections.
The Academy, a society of
more than 7,400 physicians who
specialize in the treatment of dis-
orders of the ear, nose, throat,
face and neck, adds that there is
little question concerning the ef-
ficacy of tonsillectomy in the
management of tonsillar tumors,
tonsillar abcess and tonsillectomy
with adenoidectomy in patients
with acute airway obstruction,
severely impaired nasal breath-
ing, or problems with speech and
swallowing from obstructing
tonsils and/or adenoids.

Half of all Americans say they
