Sulphur Springs for Oct. 17, IMS
Yesterday
Rain spread across parts of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Rockies and
Plains Thursday while the Northeast and Great I^akes region were clear
and chilly.
An upper level disturbance pushed showers and thunderstorms across
the southern Rockies and the southern High Plains.
Elsewhere, showers and thundershowers were mostly confined to the
southern Atlantic Coast and the Gulf Coast.
Cloudy skies covered much of the southern Great Plains and clouds
and fog were prevalent in the Southeast.
Skies were clear over much of the Northeastern quarter of the nation
and over much of the West.
Fair skies in the Great Lakes region and Northeast allowed tem-
peratures to drop. The temperature at Alpena, Mich., was 26 degrees
shortly after midnight, a record low for the date, and rose to 28 a few
hours later, the National Weather Service said.
Temperatures around the nation at 3 a m. EDT ranged from 27
degrees at Oscoda, Mich., to 81 at Key West and Palm Beach, Fla.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Citing a
pronounced and stubborn disparity”
between the health of white people
and that of blacks and other
minorities, Health and Human
Services Secretary Margaret M
Heckler Wednesday called for
educational efforts to guide minority
citizens toward healthier way? of life.
Mrs. Heckler, releasing an eight-* ~
volume report on the health of blacks
and other minorities, said the study
confirms that minorities die younger
than whites from causes such as
cancer, stroke, heart attack,
diabetes, chemical dependency,
homicides and infant mortality.
All told, she said, the federal task
force that compiled the report found
more than 60,000 “excess deaths” a
year — deaths that would not have
occurred if mortality fates for
minorities were the same as whites
The deaths often are needless, she
said, because they can be prevented
by healthier lifestyles.
“Smoking, alcohol, diet and obesity
are clearly linked to the higher
cancer, cirrhosis, cardiovascular,
infant mortality and other disease
rates afflicting our minorities,” she
said. “And knowledge ,about the
symptoms of disease can lead to

Every day I wait for some tacky writer to come out and lament the
high price of wedding gifts I know, it’s a lousy job. but someone has to
doit.
Okay, so what has happened to the plastic salad bowl and tongs that
cost $15.95 and look like heirlooms’ Or how about thefour bamboo place
mats that got you a sit-down dinner at the reception and a place in the,
receiving line'' In my day if someone got you four goblets, they had the
promise of your first child
I’m telling you it’s a new day for brides I’ve been invited to
ceremonies where I’d never’seen the bride-to-be in anything but bib
overalls. She lived on beaches for six years, eating raw berries and
playing the guitar. She had no idea how to turn on a stove and the closest
she came to domesticity was a plastic fork tucked in her sweatband She
returns to civilization to be married and the first words she utters are,
“Gift Registry.” , \ t/.
When I check through her “list” for a wedding present, she has listed
words like Wallace, Wedgewopd and Waterford Where do these kids
learn language like that'' They certainly don’t pick it up from their
parents. I suppose there was a time when, if a couple wouldn’t get a
silver candle snuffer in their pattern, they weren’t legally married, but
then sanity took over, gift giving became more practical Now we are
back to “tradition” again
Among the most-requested gifts kids want today are pasta makers,
components for their stereos, answering machines, VCRs, food
processors and espresso-cappuctno machines Oh sure, and I want eight
glasses that match and a cookie sheet that doesn’t look like an oil pan
from the garage, but who says I’m going to get it
A sister to a grade school friend of my second son who used to hang
around when they played tennis sent us an invitation to her wedding
recently. The entire family decided to chip in so we could buy one nice
gift instead of five chintzy ones
I invited them over for the unveiling before I wrapped it. They stood
around like they were witnessing a birtfi in a manger Finally, they al!
staredjmto the box
“What is it?” one of them asked
“It’s a pickle fork in her pattern,”
“How much did it cost’” ventured another voice.
“Forty-seven.”
“Will she know that’” she asked
“I’m leaving the sales slip in the box ”
But maybe the pickle fork in her pattern is a part of the dream we all
have when we get married Maybe the stuff doesn’t fit us now, but we’ll
grow into it.
Until then, the pickle fork is great for picking the lock on a bathroom
door when the kids lock themselves in.

early detection, early treatment and
fewer deaths ”
She called for greater efforts to
educate minority citizens on health,
and said she has directed department
officials to’ study the HHS budget
“with an eye to reallocating and
better targeting our funds” toward
. that goal
/ But she said there would be no
1 recommendation for a new federal
program aimed at minority health .*
That was a pre-condition on the
federal task force that compiled the
report, she said
The condition was imposed because
of restraints imposed by the White
House, she said, adding that “this is
an environment where new programs
are not particularly encouraged ”
She said the restraints were not
aimed at minority health, but
guidelines “traditionally given to the
department in general when oiir
resources are finite.”
She said she did not believe the
restriction was important, stating, “I
dp not believe money is the answer.”
“Progress depends more on
education and a change in personal
behavior than it does on more doc-
tors, more hospitals or more
technology,” she said.

A WORD FITLY SPOKEN
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11
/HEN a Christian yields his body as a living sacrifice
VV to Christ, as Paul urged the Roman believers to
do (12:1), that decision includes his tongue. He will let
God control his conversation wherever he is —whether
at church, at home, or at work. He will learn to check a
hasty word, a sharp reply, and a bit of gossip. He will
also be willing and ready to speak out for £hrist.
Jerry Bridges illustrated how gracious a person can ;
be when his words are controlled by Christ. In his book
The Pursuit of Holiness. Bridges wrote, “Henry Clay
Trumbull was, among other things, a great personal
evangelist. One day he found himself seated on a train
next to a young man who was drinking quite heavily.
Each time the young man opened his bottle, he offered
a drink to Mt. Trumbull, who declined with thanks. Finally
the young man said to Mr. Trumbull, ‘You must think
I’m a pretty rough fellow.’ Mr. Trumbull’s gracious reply,
’I think you're a very generous-hearted fellow,' opened
the way for an earnest conversation with the young man
‘ -■■3 his nejd to commit himself to Christ."
