INVESTMENT IN CO-OP OVERDUE
MESSAGE—I am a native Texan, and when 1 retired in 1957
I bought a small ranch near Kerrville. While there leased the
local electric cooperative for my energy. I sold the ranch in
1973 and moved to Kerrville, where I now reside. When I
moved I discontinued my membership in the cooperative,
and this is my problem.
While I was in the co-op, they set aside'a portion of my
monthly bill for capital investments and improvements. They
pay no Interest for the use of this money and I have found it
very difficult to have my investment returned to me. When I
left the co-op I had more than $1,000 invested. I was told that
I would eventually get my money back bnt that was five years
ago. This is my money and I hope you can help me get it
back.—W.L., Kerrville. .
SENATOR BENTSEN RESPONDS—The money you paid
into the capital improvements fund was a contribution in lieu
of profits, officials with the Rural Electrification Admini-
stration inform me. In accordance with REA guidelines, your
cooperative's bylaws provide for retirement of this debt only
when the Board of Directors determines that such retirement
would not be detrimental to the financial condition of the co-
operative. This is to insure solvency of the cooperative, as
well as providing a sound financial base for future improve-
ments. When this debt is retired, it is done so by retiring the
oldest debts first. I would suggest that you contact your co-
operative to determine what contributions are being consid-
ered for retirement. By doing so, you will be able to de-
termine the approximate date that your investment will be
returned to you.
Do you have a problem with government? MESSAGE TO
WASHINGTON cuts through the red tape to get answers to
your questions about Social Security, veterans benefits, im-
migration matters and other problems you may have run into
in your dealings with the Federal Government in Washing-
ton. Write MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON, c/o Senator
Lloyd Bentsen, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510. In-
quiries to MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON are sometimes
edited before publication, but the intent and substance of the
inquiries are maintained.

Millions Live Normal
Lives with Diabetes
At least two in every hundred
Americans have diabetes. And one of
those two is not yet aware of it. In
early or mild diabetes the typical
symptoms aren’t disabling, and there
may be virtually no symptoms at all.
Diabetes is a serious disease for
which there is no cure. But, for-
tunately, most of those with known
diabetes who have been able to con-
trol their body chemistry live such
normal lives that you wouldn’t know
about their diabetes unless you were
told.
Diabetes is characterized by the
inability of body tissues to utilize car-
bohydrates (sugar and starch), both
for immediate energy needs and in
storage for future needs. Too little ef-
fective insulin is present to let sugar
diabetes after age 35 can manage their
disease by diet alone.
The cue to successful control of
diabetes, says the American Medical
Association, is early detection,
understanding rather than fear, and a
well-managed balance among food
intake, physical activity, and insulin
or oral medication. This comes about
when patient and physician work
together in mutual under-standing.
No patient can maintain continuous
successful control of diabetes without
regular visits to his or her doctor. Ig-
norance of proper self-care is the
greatest single hazard of diabetes.

craftsmen, took over the lead-

Until 1875 all watches, in-
cluding Swiss watches, were
wound with a separate key.
Then the stem winding watch
was introduced. The sweep

be used, so that sugar accumulates in
the blood and spills over into the
urine. The sugar must have water,
which is excreted through the
kidneys. This process dries out body
tissues, causing excessive thirst, one
of the first symptoms of diabetes.
Other symptoms are loss of weight,
increase in urination, hunger, unex-
plained tiredness, pains in the legs, it-
ching, and skin infections. As the
disease becomes more severe and the
patient grows older, the blood vessels,
kidneys and eyes may be affected.
Control of diabetes is worked
out by balancing the kind and quality
of food intake and the use of exercise
and insulin. This usually can be done
without interrupting the patient’s
routine of living very substantially.
