That means it's time to get your child's clothes ready for school. First, see if any of last year's clothes are still in usable condition. Take time to check year old clothes for fit; cleanliness, and needed repair. Next, make a list of new items needed. Can the child still wear last year's top (shirt or blouse)? Are only skirts and pants needed? What colors are best? What sizes do you need? The list of extra garments to shop for should include desired colors and clothing sizes (the child's measurements). Take the child along to try on new clothes. You may find good buys at flea markets, yard sales, rummage sales, clothing centers, discount stores, or department stores. Check to see On buying life Insurance. Most people who buy life insurance have three things in mind: ( I ) Cash for immediate expenses following death-expenses of final illness and burial, taxes and debts; (2) readjust ment money-interim funds for family members who will need time to make important decisions about moving or looking for a job; (3) replacement income-funds to help replace the deceased's paycheck. Even if you have a good idea of how the insurance proceeds will be used, there is no simple answer to the question of how much life insurance is enough. Some experts suggest that life insurance should eauio five times your total annual Make visits to Is there a loved one in your life who lives in a nursing home? Dont let neglect harm a life-long relation ship. Maintain your closeness to freinds or relatives in the nursing homes by visiting them regularly. The value of regular visits can't be overemphasized. They are very im portant and increase the well-being of the older person. Make visits as pleasant and cheer ful as possible. Encourage reminiscing about the happy and important events in the person's life. A scrapbook or photo Prime your home before With spring at hand, many people take advantage of the refreshing change from winter to tackle paint projects on the home front. If your home improvement plans include painting, before picking up a paint brush, be sure to investigate the proper primer for your surface. There is no doubt that a prime coat can make a world of difference in the outcome of your painting efforts. Primers are recommended by the National Paint and Coatings Association for almost every painting endeavor. Primers serve two major functions: they seal porous materials so that top coat wont penetrate the surface thus drying to an uneven appearance; and primers aid the topcoat in bonding properly with the surface underneath. Sealingand bonding characteris tics of primers result in a "firm foundation" for your topcoat of paint. The two main types of primers are primer-seales and conventional primers. Unpainted surfaces or sur faces where most of the original paint has been removed, call for a primer-sealer. Conventional sealers are needed to form a bond between coats of paint, and when dealing with metal primers, they are used to help prevent rust. Definitely use a primer to spot prime areas where repairs have been made or where paint has begun to peel away. Any new or raw surface must have a primer. So, if you decide to replace that living room wall, invest in a prime coat. Just how does Nineteen eighty introduced a de cade of growing national concern over the effects of working fa milies. The increasing percentage of wives and mothers entering the labor force and the rise in numbers of single-parent families, result in a greater number of families attemp ting to manage the complexities of employment and family life. A career demands great time committment and involvement from the worker, and therefore, influences the context of family life. Successful role juggling is the key to maintain a normal, happy, and comfortable home life. In order for us to be successful. We must develop techni ques to make role juggling easier. We must bear in mind that successful careers for working parents and singles is achieveable and that suc cessful careers need not be obtained at the expense of one's family. In Slyvia Crudup Cole's booklet, entitled. "Twenty Tips for Working Parents," she offers these suggestions: if labels are attached to the garment. New garments have labels that tell you: Fiber content: such as 100 percent cotton, or 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton; Manufacturer's name and address; Country where made if imported, such as Hong Kong, Japan, or Korea; and Care instructions for the garment. Different fabrics require different care, all the way from "wash-no iron" to "dry clean only." What is the cost of keeping the garment clean? What type of laundry equip ment and water supply do you have? As you shop for your child's school clothes, check to see if: Seams are ititched securely for long wear; take-home income. However, this rule of thumb may not always be appropriate because no two families have exactly the same needs. You will want to answer some basic questions about yourself before de ciding how much life insurance to buy.

Talk about what is happening in the old neighborhood and with family. Avoid being overly protective by withholding information. People tend to feel excluded when informa tion about the illness or death of a significant person in their lives is not shared. Emphasize with the person's feelings of distress. Bring along things you can enjoy or work on together, like a book to read, music to listen to, puzzles to For those rooms that take a lot of wear-and-tear, such as the kitchen, bath or toddler's room, alkyd (oil based) primers are recommended. Enamel undercoaters, either alkyd or latex (waterbased), are effective on painted surfaces and wood sur faces. For drywall surfaces latex primers are recommended since they don't raise the nap or fibers. Latex paints can sometimes be used as their own primer depending on the type and condition of the surface to which they are applied. Know your surface and choose the primer accordingly. For plaster surfaces use a latex primer, alkyd primer, or latex flat wall paint. Drywall surfaces require a latex primer or latex flat wall paint. Warning issue with bottled pain medication On March 7, the Food and Drug issued a final regulation requiring a uniform Reye's Syndrome warning be added to the labels of non aspirin and aspirin-containing products. The new labeling says: 'WARNING: Children and teen agers should not use this medicine for chicken pox or flu symptoms before a doctor is consulted about Reye's Syndrome, a rare but serious illness. The symptom severe tiredness, belligerence and excessive vomiting-may arise just as a child or one combine family & career Plan to succeed. Stop expecting that you will get everything done in one day. Some days you may get 50 percent or 60 percent done; other days you may get 90 percent or more done. Expect to feel some guilt about dividing your energy and time between family and work. Guilt is something with which we all must contend. Eliminate stress by realizing what is possible for you. Standards set by others may be standards that you cannot adopt as your own. Learn to say no without feeling guilty. Choose to be in charge of yourself each day and do not let others intimidate you. Do not add additional psycholo gical and physical stress to your life by thinking that family, boss, and friends must be pleased with you all the time. You simply cannot please everyone all the time. Take a 10-15 minute break, alone at the end of each work day. The human body can only be pushed so Fasteners, such as buttons and zippers, are firmly attached and are easy for the child to handle; and Garments give the child "growth allowance." Clothes with "growth allowance" often have: No defined waistlines; raglan or kimono sleeves; long tuck ins on blouses and shirts; knit cuffs, waists, or neck bands; elastic at waistline of skirts and pants; knit and stretch fabrics, and deep Good nutrition necessary Good nutrition before and during pregnancy is a major and control lable factor in producing a healthy infant. Mothers-to-be that poor nutritional intake can affect the size of an infant at birth. This is important becuase the weight of a newborn is a predictor of its overall health. It is not true that the infant's needs will be met at the expense of the mothers' body. Nature protects the mother to some degree to assure a successful pregnancy. But both mother and baby can suffer from a lack of calories or nutrients. Expect to gain from 25-30 pounds through a pregnancy. The weight is part baby; part placenta, aminotic fluid and extra blood volume; and part extra body tissue and fat. The extra fat is a store of calories to prepare the mother's body to breast feed the baby. solve, or letters to write to iamny or friends. You don't always have to talk to have an enjoyable visit. Offer your affection and attention by setting hair, polishing nails, or mending a garment. Feeling good about one's appearance is important, and sometimes nursing home resi dents need help with grooming. If possible, take the person on an excursion outside of the facility. Going shopping, taking a drive in the country, eating in a restaurant, or attending a special event can be a meaningful treat. painting Enamel undercoaters are appropriate for wood trim. For best results when painting wallpaper use an alkyd primer or alkyd primer or alkyd enamel undercoater. When painting over vinyl wallco verings take care to use the correct primer for each type of wallcovering. Smooth vinyl fabric without design needs a latex primer. And, for a textured vinyl fabric use an alkyd flat enamel primer. Once you have selected and applied the appropriate primer, you are ready to paint a topcoat to give refreshing look to your home interior. And remember, if you have any questions about primers, do consult a reputable paint dealer. teen-ager seems to be recovering from flu or chicken pox. Although rare, Reye's Syndrome is fatal in 20 percent of cases, and some survivors sustain permanent brain damage. Not all who get Reye's have used aspirin recently, but studies have suggested that children and teen agers treated with aspirin for flu or chicken pox may run a significantly greater risk of developing Reye Syndrome.

Remember that children like to: Look like other children in their new school clothes: Be comfortable, (clothes that are too large cause falls and injuries, clothes that are too tight prevent play activities); Wear bright colors and prints; Dress themselves; and Have a say in choosing their clothes. Because there are increased de mands for protein and calcium as well as other nutrients and calorics, the pregnant woman needs to in crease the amount of food she eats. But be careful, a pregnant woman is not eating for two adults. The amount of food needed is not doubled. The same rules of good nutrition apply to pregnant women as to other adults. Choose a variety of foods. Research studies have shown that the greater the variety in foods an individual eats, the more likely it is that the individual will meet his or her nutritional needs. Be moderate in the intake of fat and sugar. These foods add only calories and not the vitamins and minerals that are needed. Dont rely on supplements to correct a poor diet. Supplements can give you a false sense of security. A well-selected diet is necessary to supply those nutrients not present in supplements and to prevent nutrient imbalances. Fall gardens For homeowners planning fall gardens, it's mid-summer planting time. Start the fall garden anytime in July or as late as mid-August. As early maturing crops are harvested, vacant garden space can be re planted with fall-maturing ve getables. Beets, carrots, kohlrabi, onions, rutabaga, shallots and turnips are good for fall harvest and all are root crops that can be seeded in July and August. Bush beans should go in the garden by the beginning of August. Many root crops can be left in the garden during the fall and winter and used as needed. Mid-summer plantings oi leaiy crops often do better in the garden Lack of selenium causes white muscle disease It has been known since the late 1950s that selenium is an essential trace mineral for livestock in the central and eastern regions of Oregon. Initially selenium was seen to cure the acute signs of White Muscle Disease. Later it was disco vered that selenium supplementation was essential for proper reproduc tion and growth, especially in cattle and sheep. Selenium is important for horses that are worked and exercised on a routine basis. Through blood testing which has been conducted on the Reservation, it is known that this is a very selenium deficient area. It is thought that the volcanic activity of this area caused the selenium to be volatilized and burned up during volcanic eruptions. White muscle disease is not com mon these days due to the use of selenium and vitamin E injections that are given to newborn calves. Energy Extension Service chores need to be done. Have frequent family conferences. It is important to know how mem bers are adjusting to the new arrange ments in their lives. Do what is expected of you at work. Give it your best and in return you will be a better worker. Now is time to be thinking of hay needs for the winter months and begin to identify sources if needed. In most situations, bulls should have been removed by now. Consider the proper time for pregnancy testing your herd. Begin planning the fall vaccination program to meet your needs (consult your veterinarian). Clay Penhollow Mollie Growers can donate to hay lift operation Central Oregon Hay Growers can now donate hay for relief of drought sticken farmers in the southeast states. Several producers have in quired about a central Oregon 'hay lift' program according to Nancy Chlarson, Oregon Hay Growers Secretary. We have decided to get the word out that a local hay lift will be organized if sufficient quant ities of hay are contributed, stated Chlarson. Southeast farmers will need hay for many months to come. Virtually all hay production was eliminated in some states according to Martin Zimmerman, Oregon State Univer sity Extension Agent. Numerous hay lifts are underway around the country. According to U.S.D.A. reports several millions of tons of hay will be needed for this summer, fall and winter to partially replace that lost feed from can be started now than spring plantings. We re commend New Zealand spinach. Head lettuce may not grow well this late in the season, but for those who want to try, Ithaca is the best variety. Leaf and bibb type lettuce give better results. Salad bowl, buttercrunch, and prizehead varieties are also recommended. Chard, endive, kale, lettuce and mustard greens will supply greenery through the fall and into the early winter. Cole crops grow very well in the late summer and can be harvested until the heavy freezes of winter. Second plantings of peas should be enation-virus resistant varieties, especially in western Oregon. Cor vallis, Aspen, Aurora and Oregon sugar pod (edible pod variety) are What is generally seen as the problem now is unthriftiness, poor growth, and reproductive failure in cattle. Selenium must be supplied at higher levels than can be given through normal salt and feed supplements. This means that cattle producers must obtain a prescription from their local veterinarian to be able to supply the increased needs of cattle in our area. This is generally supplied in a loose salt mix which costs less than $12.00 per head per year. Active horse need to be supple mented also and this can be accom plished by one of two ways. A producer can either give monthly injections of selenium or provide a supplement in the feed of a horse-. Generally horses that are not rou tinely ridden are not threatened by nonsupplementation. The horses that are running on the range will usually not have problems since Caffeine affects children too There's a lot of emphasis lately on caffeine-free beverages. Extension Foods and Nutrtion Specialist, Margaret Lewis, says caffeine is a drug that causes obvious physical changes-especially children. It affects kids very much like it affect adults. It may keep you awake at night. It may make you nervous or anxious. One of the problems w ith children is that their bodies are so much smaller, the effect of the same amount of caffeine is greater on a child than it would be on an adult. If a child's attention span is short it may be a result of the caffeine in soda pop. orchoclate. As an alternative to snack with caffeine, Lewis suggests fruits, fruit juices, pop corn, crackers, nuts, and of course, beverages that are caffeine-free.

Re-work the soil before planting a new crop by rototilling or spading to a depth of six to eight inches to loosen the ground. Then apply one-half cup of 5-10-10 fertilizer for each 100 square feet of row space. Proper irrigation is very impor tant for mid-summer plantings. Lettuce, onion, carrot, and radish seeds are panted newart the surface of the soil and must be kept moist if they are to germinate.. Frequent watering will keep germ inating seeds from drying out. Plac ing a one-byfour board or a piece of clear plastic over the row after it has been watered will help keep moisture in.
