There are believed to be 20 or more languages, including
six North American Indian languages, in which no one
can converse because there remains only one speaker
alive. Eyak is still spoken in southeast Alaska by two
aged sisters if they meet.

SELECTION-
After the whirl uf holiday parties and good
cheer have ended, the sobering colder
months set in, oftentimes bringing along the
credit due slips from parties and gifts
already given. While coping with continuing
inflation and perhaps an ailing bank
balance, the Texas Medical Association
i TMA) urges people to keep their mental
balancc .is well.
The short tempers and frayed nerves of
hi t summer's gasoline crisis are relatively
minor signs of what economic pressures of
any type can do. Bankers leaping from
windows during the Depression and gun-
fights over positions in gasoline lines are
extreme examples of the despair people can
experience.
No matter how stress shows itself, bad
economic times mean extra stress for
almost everyone. Even financially and
emotionally secure people must take time to
count and conserve finances, possibly even
altering lifestyles to cut back on expenses.
These changes alone provide some stress.
Usually, people can handle such
problems. The danger comes when a person
who is already under stress is hit by
economic problems as well. Then stress
may show up as hostili-ty, fatigue,
depression, suicide, child abuse, physical
illness, or some other problem. How stress
is expressed depends on the persons'
emotional makeup, the amount of stress and
other factors.
While eating well and staying healthy do
not guarantee protection against stress,
they certainly help. The TMA urges people
to give themselves a physical and financial
boost by cutting back on junk foods and
maintaining a well balanced diet.
TMA also suggests that people can often
use low cost, healthy ways to ease excess
stress and ride out this period of economic
strain. Exercising can help relieve tension
and improve one's outlook. Talking about
problems with a friend can help vent
frustrations and provide solutions. Doing
something nice for yourself everyday, even
just propping your feet up for five minutes
and relaxing, or taking a brief walk outside,
can help relieve the pressure. Many
traditional stress-relieving methods work
well and are more effective than going on a
buying spree or getting drunk to feel better.
If problems become severe, mental and
financial assistance is available from many
sources. Many towns have mental health
clinics and community counseling services.
Churches, governmental agencies or
telephone counseling services may also
make referrals.

ALL'S WELL
THAT ENDS WELL
Here's a hint for giving
your parties a happier end-
ing: he clever about your
coffee.
One thing hostesses who
get mostly praise for their
preparations suggest is that
you serve slightly stronger
coffee than you would for
breakfast. Use the best
possible brand of coffee
available—and a quality drip
coffeemaker.
This Olde Gaelic Blessing was sent to my
family on a Christmas card this year and
while it is a very special thought at
Christmas time, it also carries a beautiful
blessing for the year ahead. "Deep peace of
the running wave to you; Deep peace of the
flowing air to you; Deep peace of the quiet
earth to you; Deep peace of the shining stars
to you; Deep peace of the watching
shepherds to you; Deep peace of the Son of
Peace to you." May you and yours have a
happy and peaceful New Year'

"larger" women no longer have to A*
onfine their wardrobes to darkly colored
polyester pantsuits and loosely fitting
"housedresses," says Beverly Rhoades, a
clothing specialist.
"Women can be big and still be chic,
because now many ready-to-wear fashions
are available lor the larger women," she
says
Also, the larger woman who sews has
more options because pattern companies
are creating more fashion-oriented pattern
designs especially suited for her.
Larger women should forget the cliches ^
that say they can't wear fashion-conscious ™
clothes, Miss Rhoades insists.
"Looking one's tost is simply a matter of
taste and appropriateness - for any size
person," she stresses. To look one's best.
Miss Rhoades offers several guidelines-and
even if the larger woman aspires to change
her size, she will look her best while she
slims down.
Avoid heavy bulky fabrics. Ideal fabrics
for classic tailored styles are soft tweeds, f)
wool challis, gabardine, poplins, tn lc!i
wovens and crepes.
Know how to choose prints and i I.nils
They are no longer "off limits" for larger
women, as long as they are chosen carefully
and used appropriately. When picking a
print or plaid, don't choose something small
and fussy or the largest pattern. Either
extreme will make you look larger.
