Prevention
Frostbite is a condition in which
tissues of the part of the body, usu
ally an extremity car, nose, or
check become frozen or partially
frozen as a result of exposure to
cold. To avoid frostbite, however,
you must protect yourself, not only
against cold, but also against the
conditions that increase body heat
loss such as moisture and wind.
Proper clothing for winter weath
er provides insulation from cold,
ventilation so that perspiration can
evaporate, and protection against
wind, rain or snow. Avoid one
heavy bulky or constricting gar
ment and instead, wear several lay
ers of light, loose clothing. For
ideal protection wear underclothing
made of wool or polypropylene.
Wear layers of wool or synthetic
between underwear and the outer
layer of water repellant or wind
proof covering. Waterproof cloth
ing is not recommended since it
holds in moisture produced by your
body.
Protect your head and neck with
a scarf, hat or hood and your face
Ease transition of growing old
Growing old can be tough, but
there are ways to ease the transition.
For example, you can simply
decide not to accept the negative
stereotypes about aging. A positive
attitude always brings more enjoy
ment to life than a defeatist atti
tude. Try to have a positive atti
tude toward others, and an openness
to new ideas and thinking that are
different from your own.
A part of growing old that can be
glossed over is experiencing loss.
Loss of job, friends, family, a spe
cial pet, even changes in the daily
living routine are a reality.
The trick is to avoid getting, and
staying, depressed. Acknowledge
that you have lost something im
portant to you and grieve over that
loss. It's only natural.
It may take one to two years to
overcome a major loss such as a
spouse or career. But don't stop
there. It's important to move on
and find something to fill the gap
created in your life.
Focusing on what you can do
rather than on what you cant do or
don't have. Also focus on your
assets rather than your liabilities.
For example, rather than being
continuously sad because the fam
ily has grown up and moved away
or are very involved in their own
lives, look at the increased time

with a mask. Wear two pairs of
socks and well-fitting boots which
are high enough to protect your
ankles. Your hands are better pro
tected by mittens than by gloves.
Keep in mind, however, that since
mittens limits what your can do
with your fingers, you may need to
remove them frequently. By wear
ing lightweight gloves under the
mittens you will still have protec
tion against heat loss if you remove
yourmittens. Be sure that your clo
thing is not tight. Meat in your
extremities is supplied by your
blood and anything that hampers
blood flow will increase the risk of
frostbite. For this same reason do
not remain in a sitting or kneeling
position for long periods. Doing so
can impair blood circulation.
Signs and symptoms of frostbite
include: severe pain, discoloration,
and blistering of the affected tissues.
Frozen tissue is extremely suscept
ible toadditionaldamageand must
be protected and evaluated soon by
a physician or trained paramedic

Dealing with
The honeymoon is really over
with the first fight about money.
And there is no surer way to head a
marriage toward disaster than fail
ing to deal with money matters
openly and cooperatively.
Financial candor isn't easy.
Money probably is the most pri
vate concern in a couple's life.
A cooperative effort will not be
easy for any couple, even new
lyweds. Unfortunately, romantic
love has nothing to do with making
the finances of a marriage work; if
it did, there probably would not be
so many marital money problems.
What does make money manage
ment work in marriage is the mut
ual respect and trust of one partner
for the other.
Goals Thoroughly discuss and
agree upon short-term and long
range goals.
Norden Laboratories, Inc. is now
available to producers through their
veterinarian. Field studies involv
ing 2,773 head of cattle have shown
that one dose of BovEye was as
effective as two in reducing inci
dences of pinkeye by 50 percent

Master Gardner training
Oregon home gardeners are re

sign up for the 1987 Oregon State
University Extension Service Mas

to start in early January.
The Extension Master Gardener
Program is intended to provide
home gardeners with basic instruc

the trainees to help Extension staff
members answer gardening ques

The program consists of several
free hours of classroom instruc

Lawn and garden need help
Landscape plants and lawns usu
ally get by on their own pretty well
during the winter months. How
ever, yellow-looking turf grass and
shrubs located close to home foun
dations may need help during the
cold season.
The yellowing of turf grass indi
cates that the lawn needs nitrogetn.
To put the green back in yellow
grass, apply a slow-release nitro
gen fertilizer to the turf at the
application rate recommended on
the fertilizer package.
A slow-release fertilizer is best
for winter use because of heavy
winter rains. Rain leaches nutrients
out of fertlized soils. The heavier
the rain, the more leaching occurs.
Slow-release fertilizers slow the
Upset somebody?
1. Ask what the person is upset
about.
2. Listen Avoid looking for an
opening to defend yourself or the
situation; put your energy into
hearing the person.
3. Repeat back, clarify, ask to
check out what you think they are
saying.
4. Legitimize their case; let them
know you feel they have a reason to
feel the way they do. This does not
mean you agree, only that you feel
necessary to protect from additional
tissue loss. Gentle non-traumatic

warm water, vigorous massage, or
rubbing with ice. (This old wives'
tale has never made any sense at

good care of themselves. Specifi

are finding that they save money in

country revealed that more and

Savings You need to establish
a joint savings account into which

before you write a check to anyone
else. You need to agree on your
long-range objectives such as a new
house, college education for your
children, your own retirement.

Wasted energy adds up
Some experts maintain we water
one-fourth of the energy we use!
Needlessly leaving a 100-watt bulb
on unnecessarily wastes about one
ounce of oil (or 1-13 ounces of
coal) for every hour it operates.
These "little ounces" quickly add
up to huge amounts of wasted
energy. Some measures you can
practice to help save energy include:
Turn TV and radio sets off when
not in use and unplug "instant-on"
TV sets when not in use. (This also
prevents possible damage during
electrical storms.)
, Color TV uses twice as much to
operate as black and white.TV and
nine times more than radios.
Portable TV and radio sets use
more energy to operate than con
sole sets.
Turn off lights when they are not
needed.
Use flourescent light bulbs when
ever possible:
Protect houseplants from winter
Houseplants given as holiday
gifts may suffer frostbite and even
premature death this winter if gift
givers don't protect them from chilly
winter blasts when taking them
from the plant shop to the car and
then into the house.
Many traditional gift plants, such
as poinsettias, Ficus, dieffenbachia,
and aralia are tropical or subtropi
cal in nature and are not very toler
ant of cold.
Before taking a plant outside,
wrap it securely in paper. News
paper can be used for wrapping by
folding it into a cone-shaped fun
nel for a plant sleeve.
' Place the plant in the sleeve and
carefully fold over the top of the
sleeve so as not to crush the top ot

the plant so it won't slide around.
It's a good idea to pre-warm the
automoile before placing plants in
it. This will keep the plants from
becoming chilled. Some plants will
drop foliage and flowers if placed
in an unheated car for extended
periods. Even a wrapped plant will
lose heat after a time. Also avoid
placing plants in the trunk of a car
on cold days.
When you arrive at your destina
tion move the plant from thc.can..,
into its new home and unwrap it as
soon as possible. If the plant remains
wrapped, the foliage is apt to turn
yellow and drop after 1 2 hours in a
warm location.

together. Fill with sand, and sew

Sneaky leaks: Inspect windows,
walls, ceilings, floors, pipe entries
and TV antennas for gaps. If you
don't have caulking material, stuff
plastic from dry cleaning bags into
gaps (hot water pipes could melt the
plastic, so use cloth strips there.)

that have them, thermostats offer
the easiest and most efficient way
to save energy. Try a 68 degree set

Keep light bulbs and shades clean.
Light colored paint and or wall
paper reflects more light, reduces
need for artificial light.
Take five-minute showers instead
of baths.
Save water by using stoppers in
the sinks when washing dishes, or
hands and faces.
Use cold water rather than hot
whenever you can.
Close doors to rooms not being
used and shut off air conditioning
to those areas.
Make use of FREE heat! Open
blinds, draperies, and shades on
the sunny side during the day to let
the sun warm your house; and keep
them closed on hot summer days.
Good management, coupled with
routine maintenance; can pay off
worthwhile dividends in reduced
energy bills and still maintain the
standard of living and comforts to
which we are accustomed.
Following these suggestions and
giving a plant the recommended
amount of water and exposure to
light should keep it healthy
through the winter chill.
