Water rationing is not new.
People and plants have been
living through long dry spells
since the close of Eden. There
are ways to help plants and the
town survive the heat.
None are without their
drawbacks and all are less
convenient than just turning
the faucet. The whole process
can become a game instead of
just work and the whole family
can participate with each
member given an area to care
for.
The necessary equipment is a
bucket, andor a siphoning hose
and a strong back. Becoming
aware of the replacement cost
of plants could be the added
incentive needed to find the
extra energy. Another in-
centive will be the enforcement
of the $200 fine, should this
really occur.
An idea list was compiled
from numerous suggestions.
The following are a few.
—The most obvious is to
leave the stopper in the tub
while taking a shower. The
used bath and shower water
can then be bailed onto plants
and trees. Use a biodegradable
soap. The amount of soap the
water contains should be less
damaging than letting the plant
die of thirst.
—If you don’t already have a
brick inside the top of the
commode, put one in. This can
save hundreds of gallons of
water over a period of time.
—Don’t let the water run
while you brush your teeth.
Turn it off while doing the
scrubbing.
In rinsing dishes for the
dishwasher, fill the sink and
use the same water for all. This
water can then be used for
plants or saved for the garbage
disposal run.
—Be sure the dishwasher is
completely full and properly
stacked before running it.
Better yet, go back to grand-
mothers method and use the
sink. It takes less water. The
clean dishes can then be
stacked in the dishwasher to
drain. Once again, another
source of reusable water.
—Steam foods, rather than
Too eager to be close?

DEAR DR BLAKER -
When I meet people I like, I
want to spend a lot of time
with them. Sometimes I get a
bit overbearing People get
nervous and back off.
DEAR READER - Your
concerns brought to mind this
short essay by A.J. Constance.
Reading it might help you to
understand yourself better.
“Is there any miracle on
earth to compare with that of
discovering a new friend or of
having that friend discover
you? So much is at stake, but I
will and do risk everything to
give a promising relationship
a chance.
“One of my most agonizing
weaknesses is to want it all,
all at once — complete
expression, complete knowl-
edge, complete relationship,
complete understanding. To
have life at every moment oo
the fullest, grandest possible
scale.
“I am impatient with frag-
ments and halves, with tidbits,
hints and nuances. And yet (I
tell myself, again and again)
there is built into the nature
of things a necessity for stag-
es, subtlety and degrees-of-
things.
“A flower unfolds petals, a
river meanders its way along
to the sea, the sunrise comes
with shades of wonder and
love grows from grace to
grace.
“I know this, I do know it, I
do. Intellectually I understand
and accept the necessity for
orderly progression in all
these things. And yet, the
emotional me still wants all
at once the fullness, the daz-
zling totality.”
DEAR DR. BLAKER -
Our 9-year-old daughter is
becoming increasingly reluc-
tant about taking baths. I
have tried everything.
I even asked my husband
for help. He didn’t seem too
interested in the problem, but
he did tell her in no uncertain
terms that I want her to take
baths. That didn't do any good
although she usually listens to
him.
What should I try next? 1
can’t handle this alone.
DEAR READER - You’re
right. You cannot handle this
alone. Yet, that’s exactly what
you have done.
Yqu tried to involve your
husband, but he didn’t help.
He may, in fact, have made
the situation worse.
When he said, “Your
mother wants you to take a
bath,” your daughter
reaaooed, “Daddy is Idling
me what Mommy wants." She
was then left wondering what
he really wanted her to do
“If he wanted me to take a
bath,” she thought, “he would
have said, ‘Go take a bath.’ I
bet he doesn’t really care.
He’s just doing what he’s sup-
posed to do.”
While this process might
not have taken place verba-
tim in your daughter’s mind,
it probably represents her
underlying feelings in
response to your husband’s
reluctant statement.
Try to get him directly
involved in the problem so
that he can tell your daughter
clearly and firmly what is
expected of her concerning
baths and general cleanliness.
Then she will likely change
her behavior.

Exercise consistently
for proper weight loss
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’m
curious as to how many calo-
ries are used up during exer-
cises. I’m particularly inter-
ested in how many calories
are burned up per minute dur-
ing jogging or running as I'm
considering taking up jogging
to help control my weight
problems.
lent to the calories in six
pounds of body fat. The key to
using exercise to control body
weight is to exercise sensibly
and consistently every day.
Jogging is also one way to
exercise your heart and lungs.

ing Your Heart. Other readers

feeling of well-being. We
require an adequate amount
of oxygen to the tissues to
release energy from our food
Whenever a person’s circula-
tion is compromised for what-
ever reason, he will lose ener-
gy and frequently suffer from
chronic fatigue. In your case
since the mechanical problem
related to poor circulation has
been corrected, you have had
a resurgence of energy and
that’s great.
That valve may outlast you.
Such valves have been very
carefully tested in laborator-
ies to determine their wear
and tear.
Your valve is simply a
mechanical device and if the
valve is disturbed mechani-
cally it can cause leaks. These
leaks can cause abnormal
heart sounds just as your own
leaky valve did before
surgery. Your doctor can hear
these abnormal sounds if they
should occur. Your doctor will
detect these and other
changes on his regular exami-
nation before you will have
any symptoms that you would
notice. It is important, though,
for you to have regular check-
ups to see how you are doing.
(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
DEAR READER - Rather
than thinking of it in minutes,
try to think of it in distance
Slow running or jogging uses
about the same number of
calories per mile as ordinary
walking. An average-sized
person of 150 pounds will use
approximately 60 calories
more while walking a mile
than he would if he were sit-
ting still for the same period
of time. You’ll use fewer calo-
ries if you weigh less than 150
pounds and more if you weigh
over that. It’s the body weight
through distance that has the
biggest influence on how
many calories you will use.
Now that doesn’t sound like
very much when you realize
that there are 3,500 calories
in a pound of body fat. But if
you walk three miles a day,
365 days of the year you will
use the amount of calories
found in 18 pounds of body fat.
Of course, if you only walk
one mile a day in a year’s
time, it will only be equiva-
self-addressed envelope for it.

DEAR DR LAMB - I had
an aortic valve put in my
chest eight years ago. It’s the
plastic type. The operation
put 20 yean on my life and I
feel that much younger as a
result. Before the operation I
felt like a snail when I walked
and I thought I would never
reach age 56.
How long will these valves
last before they need to be
replaced? Are there any
symptoms of problems that
may arise before the valve
needs replacement? Although
I feel no trouble coming, I
would like to know if it is so I
can be prepared to act
accordingly to save myself.
DEAR READER - Your
story points out the influence
of good circulation on a
person’s level of energy and

Scripture Reading forToday: Psalm 73:22-28
FOLLOWING FATHER HOME
Thou shall guide me with Thy counsel, and aflerward
receive me to glory. Psalm 73:24
£ OMEONE has said lhal since the Lord bought us with
His blood and soughl us by His Spirit, we may be sure
He’ll guide us by His counsel and lovingly bring us
safely to Glory. As we grow older, it is especially comfort-
ing to know that our Heavenly Father is faithfully directing
our steps (Ps. 37:23), and that the pathway ahead leads
Home.
An anonymous poet, comforted by this thought, wrote
these words which I trust will strengthen you as you walk
with the Lord: "So many years and years ago when I was
just a little lad,/ And after school would try to help around
the farm with dear old dad,/ I used to get so very tired
when eventide would finally comc/ That I’d get kind of
fearful-like about the darksome journey home../ But dad
would always lead the way, and frequently turn 'round and
say/ So tenderly, so cheerfully, 'Come on, my lad, we're
nearly home’;/ That always kind of helped me some, as I
would follow father home./ I'm getting old and feeble
now, and weak and trembly at the knee,/ But things are
just the same today as in the past they used to be;/ For
I am very weary here since life's dark eventide has come,/
And sometimes still gel fearful-like about the final journey
Home./ But still my Father leads the way, and often now
I hear Him say/ So tenderly, so cheerfully, 'Come on, my
child, you're not alone';/ Those loving words still help me
yet, and so I'm following Father Home."
The One who graciously guides you today, child of God,
will receive you to Glory tomorrow. So lay aside your fears,
and just keep following Father Home! —H.G.B.
Tis so safe to walk with lesus,
Leaning hard upon His arm,
Following closely where He leads me,
None can hurt and naught can harm. —Simpson

Glory.

boiling. It takes less water and
is more nutritious. Cooking
juices that usually go down the
sink are nutritious for lawns as
well as people.
—Set hanging baskets inside
a pan of bath water. They will
get a good soaking and the
water will not run wastefully
onto the concrete patio or
porch, if they are set on the
grass to drain.
—Another method of
watering is to put a small hole
in the bottom of a can. Fill with
reusable water and let It drip
all day.
—Those with small children
can wash both in the same
water. Loving couples can
share a shower.
—Use the washing machine
only when it has a full load. The
electric bill :an be cut by let-
ting nature dry the clothes.
They dry faster and if the dryer
is insidethe house, the heat will
not be added to the work of the
air conditioner.
—An issue of “Mother Earth
News” had the most expensive,
yet easiest method of reusing
water. Each of the drains,
minus the toilet, can be hooked
up to run into a holding tank
outside. The water can be
filtered and used anywhere on
the lawn.
—Another suggestion for
keeping plants alive was to let a
friend with a well baby-sit
One question did arise, living
grass and plants can go without
water but what about private
swimming pools? The city
officials neglected to mention
this item and the clorinated
water is not very healthy for
living things.
Any other suggestions would
be welcomed. Just mall them to
