A friend of mine once re-
marked that ito retrospect is
personal suicide. His remark
provoked an argument from all
who were part of the CONVEX
sation in which the statement
was made. Today, I feel that
/ would have a more convinc-
ing point of view than when
this experience took place.
After having AIRED with
others the rare. privilege of
witnessing the dedication of a
new Village Hall, I am con-
WINGED that to retrospect is to
learn, to enjoy, and to appreci-
ate the lessons of life that we
gather from each experience of
life.
It is truly heartwsrming to
look back upon the events of
Sunday which were an over
whelming success. Having been
very close to the preparations
for this momentous day, I was
indeed gratified with the out
come.
Those committee members
Who combined their efforts to
give to us this successful pro-
gram and social hour which
concluded the activities, are to
be commended for having made
this historical day possible.

Abraham was called out of
the east; and his posterity were
introduced into the land of
Canaan, in order to destroy the
idolaterys of the country, and
they were established there on
purpose to satnd as barrier
against the idolatry then pre-
vailing, and threatening to
overrun the whole face of the
earth.
He called the Nations, to
leave their idols, and worship
Him who made the universe.
He taught them the way Of
righteousness, truth, and faith.
Was there ever "a prodigy like
this? A man who had been an
idolater, rising up against all
the nations of the earth, reprov-
ing their faith, and not fearing
before them or their kings
Who stirred up his heart to do

She Packs
The Chutes
BY ROBERT /. MooRE

DENVER, Colo. (P)-Mrs. Deana
Johnson holds the lives of many
men in her fragile, 67-year-old
hands.
A slip and man may die.
Mrs. Johnson is the only woman
repairing and packing parachutes
at Lowry Air Force Base. She's
been repairer and packer for 10
years.
you've get to remember in this
business" she says, that every
chute you pack is a potential jump
I've never had a failure, but I've
had some men jokingly ask: IF
this doesn't open, will you give
me another one?"
'The rough part is getting the
chute back into the little bag. The
chute has to be accordion folded
and then put in the pack by pulling
up the flaps on all four sides and
fastening them with temporary pins
until you put in the ripcord"
Chutes must be inspected every
10 days and repacked every so days.
Mrs Johnson is alternate foreman
at Lowry. Along with three other
civilian packers and serviceman
she services approximately 1000
automatic-released chutes for Low
ry and the Air Force Academy. drag

his body temperature rises and may
go up to 105-1O6 or even higher.
He is flushed, the skin. is dry and
hot, and he becomes delirious.
There may be partial to complete
loss of consciousness. This con-
dition is called heat stroke or sun
stroke.
Sunburn can prevent adequate
sweating; the burned skin does not
sweat as does normal skin. Pa
tients with severe eczema do not
sweat normally. There are some
drugs which slow down or prevent
sweating.
There are a few people who seem
to have an inherited inability to
sweat adequately. There is not
much to do for such people except
to urge that they do not live in
areas where excessive heat is fre-
quent.
Treatment of heat stroke is di-
rected toward getting the patient
cool. Wrap him in a wet sheet and
blow an electric fan on him, or put
him in a bath of cold water. Giving
a cold enema helps, as does a cold
drink If he is conscious.

Mrs. Johnson has speciality. She
is the only person in the Lowry
shop who replaces silk sections.
The process involves cutting a new
section from special yard goods,
basting it in while the chute is held
taut on table and sewing it with
a machine.
During her career, which began
at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Tex,
there have been times when her
work has been put to the test.
Once five men bailed out in chutes
packed by Mrs. Johnson. They
wound up in corn field.
"They picked up their chutes and
carried them all the way back to
the highway" Mrs. Johnson says.

it and made it crumble

scolds the child Before long the
child learns its safer to hold in
the anger. When he does express
it he is made to feel guilty and bad
for doing so and this in turn builds
up more anger. When anger is
hidden inside it accumulates, it
grows bigger and bigger and may
spill over into anger against all
restraint, anger against all people.
It's healthier for the child to be
helped to express anger and bit
terness. Let him know you UNDER
stand how he feels, that you don't
blame him for feeling bitter that
he cannot have ice cream. If he
gets his anger expressed. without
being made to feel guilty about it,
it's over and done with and doesn't
build up inside to add fuel to the
next frustration-anger episode.
A child who is able to express
his normal anger is free to love.
Stored up anger poisons love-ex-
pressed anger leaves love free to
be felt and expressed too.
Understanding of feelings, but
control of actions-this is a far
healthier plan than denial of a
natural normal emotion. Under
standing and control will give Lau-
ra the security she needs to build
up her own self control and not in
terfere with her ability to love.
Milford chronicle., 1960-08-12

Our bodies make heat. The food
we eat burns up in our own little
private factories and one of the
by products is the heat that keeps
us warm. The more a person ex-
ercises the faster he burns up his
fuel but if he is healthy, exercise
doesn't give him fever; he just
loses heat faster to keep pace with
the rapid production of heat by the
increased amount of activity.
We lose heat in several ways.
About 65 per cent of our heat loss
is from the surface of the body by
conductiOn to the surrounding air
The rest of the heat loss is by the
evaporation of water from the
lungs and sweat from the skin.
When the outside temperature is
above normal body temperature,
we cannot cool off by giving up
heat to the air. In fact, if the air
temperature is 100 or more, we
actually warm up from the air
instead of cooling down. Under
these circumstances we have to
rely on evaporation of perspira-
tion to cool us down.
If a person doesn't perspire
enough, his body doesn't cool down,

FALSE ALARM

friend with whom she had been
talking on the telephone had col
lapsed. She asked that a squad
car be sent to investigate.
When officers arrived they found
the woman talking again on the
telephone.
Her explanation: She suddenly
remembered she had forgotten to
turn off her washing machine, and
in the midst of her conversation
had dropped the telephone and ran
to the basement.
