The Mental Health
Everyone should have
their blood pressure taken
at regular intervals and
learn what the numbers
mean, advises Carla
Shearer, a health educa-
tion specialist.
High blood pressure is a
disease for which there are
no reliable symptoms.
Regular blood pressure
checks are the only
accurate way of diagno-
sing high blood pressure,
the specialist points out.
When your blood
pressure is taken, ask
what your blood pressure
reading is and obtain a
clear understanding of
what the numbers mean.
Below are three samples
of blood pressure readings
and some information
about these readings:
1) 120/80-this is about
average for most adults,
although a lower reading
is also good.
2) 140/90-this higher
reading presents a
different situation. There
are a few things a
physician may do for a
person with this reading.

“TRUCKS LIKE THIS ARE ONE
OF THE REASONS THE COST OF
ELECTRICITY HAS GONE UR”
They also are one of the reasons your electric
service is so dependable. TP&L’s “hole-digger"
trucks do a job in minutes which used to require
long and often difficult hand iabor. Skilled em-
ployees utilizing these trucks can rapidly extend
power lines to new homes or businesses and re-
store storm-damaged lines. In 1975, a “hole-
digger" truck cost $42,000... today, more than
$75,000.
TP4L must spend hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars each year to purchase, operate and maintain
the many special-purpose vehicles which are es-
sential to providing electric service. We’re doing
everything possible to hold the line on these costs.
