THE NEWS-TELEGRAM, Sulphur Springs, Texas, Sunday, March 18, 1979—SECTION 1—3.
The lighter side
No Saints in the Senate
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s teachers haven’t been at all
shy about letting state legislators know their feelings con-
cerning proposed pay raises in the budget now under con-
sideration.
One irate teacher vented her wrath Thursday on Sen.
Beverly Langford, D-Calhoun, saying, “I wouldn’t vote for
you if you were St. Peter.?’\
Langford replied: “Ma’am, if I were St. Peter, you
wouldn’t be in my district.”
Towns, Toilets and Taxes
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The topics at Maine’s annual
town meetings this year are running the gamut from budgets
to bathrooms.
Consider last week’s meeting at tiny Limerick, where a
heated debate was interrupted by a persistent banging above
the meeting hall.
"Mr. Moderator, can't they choose some other time to do
repairs to Town Hall? ” an irate resident demanded of Moder-
ator Lendall Knight.
Knight quickly determined no repairs were being made. A
hasty inspection revealed a woman trapped in an upstairs
toilet.
While laughter rocked the hall, Knight declared a five-
minute "municipal emergency,” and a town official dashed
off the stage, keys in hand, to rescue the woman.
Limerick’s attendance at town meetings may have been
the envy of civic leaders in Milo, but that was before Town
Mangager Stephen Law figured a way to get their attention.
Well in advance of the meeting, Law publicly estimated
taxes might jump by 23 percent. About 350 people showed up
— about six times the usual turnout.
When the residents got through with the budget, they had
actually cut property taxes by two mills.
Forum names
new officers
Several new faces will take
over officers positions when the

Building.

Wilma Guy from the Standard
Club; first vice-president, Oline
Dickson of the Treble Clef

Waverly Club; recording
secretary, Elbe Swindell of the
Tanti Club; social treasurer,
Lasca Harry of the Mother’s
Culture Club and business
treasurer, Janie Crump of the
Dial Study Club.
Following a luncheon and
business meeting Mrs. Carolyn
Keys introduced this month’s
musical program featuring
soloist Diane Lummus and
pianist Betty Longino. The duo
presented traditional Irish
ballads and springtime
selections in keeping with the
theme “The Wearin’ of the
Green”.

Bleeding from the bowel
DEAR DR. LAMB — I would
like to know if diverticulosis
causes bleeding of the
bowels. My husband has had
all the tests and X rays for
husband’s doctor already
knows why your husband
has bleeding but I must say
to other readers that bleed-
ing can be a sign of rectal or

colon trouble. His doctor
doesn’t seem to be con-
cerned. Right now he still
has cramping in his abdo-
men. He has bleeding when
he has a bowel movement,
and today he said his stom-
ach was sore in his lower
abdomen.
His bleeding is fresh red
blood. His doctor is an inter-
nist and has not given him a
diet or suggested one. It
seems like when he eats
nuts, cornbread, tomatoes
or dried beans, he has a lot
of gas and bloating and
cramping. Do you have any
suggestions?
DEAR READER — Usu-
ally where one of the little
pockets, called a diverticu-
lum, forms in the colon,
there is an artery. Some
people think that’s why the
pocket forms at that loca-
tion. The artery runs per-
pendicular into the wall of
the colon, and perhaps the
colon is weaker at that par-
ticular point.
In any case, you certainly
can bleed from such a pock-
et, as a complication of
diverticulosis. Bleeding can
be caused from maiy differ-
ent things includii^ hemor-
rhoids, so the presence of
blood alone, particularly
fresh red blood with a bowel
movement, doesn’t neces-
sarily make a diagnosis.
Anyone who has unex-
plained bleeding from the
bowels must have an imme-
diate medical examination.
There is always the danger
of so much bleeding that a
frank hemorrhage occurs.
Then there is the impor-
tant question of what causes
the bleeding. Perhaps your
Credit union
elects directors
331 members of Cooperative
Teachers Credit Union met
March 12th at the Texas
Eastern University. This was
their 26th annual membership
meeting. Elected to 3-year
terms as directors were Ed.
McMillan, W.S. Black, and
Elmer Wynne.
The six other directors whose
terms did not expire this year
are Mary Gift, Margie Miller,
N.W. Kilgore, Wayne Boshears,
Tommy Tomlinson, and Glenn
Hicks.
It was announced that the
credit union directors will be
discussing paying date-in-to-
date-out interest on sharedraft
deposit accounts later this
year.
The $11 million dollar credit
union has its home office in
Tyler at 1424 WSW Loop 323,
and a branch office in Com-
merce, Texas at 1814 Monroe.
$1,500 in cash door prizes
were given out to 51 winners
from several counties around
the East Texas area. The
Grand prize of $250.00 was
awarded to Ms. Charlene
Latham, of Tyler.

colon cancer, the second
most common cause of can-
cer deaths in both men and
women. It must never be
ignored.
It’s important to find out
which foods seem to irritate
the colon under these cir-
cumstances. These should
be avoided. Beans are gas
formers and, when you’re
having,colon trouble, you
certainly don’t need any ad-
ditional problems. The
bloating and cramping you
decribe may be part of an
underlying spastic colon
which many authorities
think contributes to the de-
velopment of diverticulosis.
You need to be careful
about what you decide to do
about a diet for your hus-
band if he’s having bleeding.
I am sending you The Health
Letter number 5-6, Diverti-
culosis. But I think you
should sit down and discuss
the diet problems specifi-
cally with your doctor and
find out whether he wants
your husband to have in-
creased bulk in hi^diet at
this stage of his disease or
not. If so, which ones woiild
he agree would be all right
for your husband to use.
You can take a copy of The
Health Letter along with you
to his office, if you like. As a
practicing physician, he
knows everything that’s in
it, but it might provide a
good basis for discussion
and he will appreciate the
fact that you are interested
enough to have informed
yourself about the disease.
Other readers who want
this issue of The Health
Letter on diverticulosis can
send 50 cents with a long,
stamped, self-addressed en-
velope for it.

home ec meet
Members of the Hopkins
County Home Economists
Association and their guests
met at the Thomas Spreading
Service March 12 to hear Ike
Stevens speak.
Stevens, a local stock broker,
presented a program on
planning for a stable financial
future. He stated that only two
out of one-hundred people now
reaching the age of sixty-five
are financially independent.
Stevens feels that people
should begin to plan for
retirement very early in life by
making wise money in-
vestments. He also stated that
assistance in financial planning
is being offered through several
local organizations.
The next club date is April 9.
Members are invited to bring a
guest.
