Page Ten Fire Danger Extremely High In Oregon Forests Literatiy thousands of fisher men are presently using Oregon’s lakes and streams. Rockhounds are trudging across the Oregon landscape in search of intriguing agates or other semiprecious stones. Hikers are climbing the high trails. And just plain campers and sightseers are enjoying the cool of Oregon’s mountains and forests. The outdoor season remains in full swing. Additionally, big game ani mals, upland game birds, and waterfowl will be legal targets for the hunter’s gun during the next several months, swelling the total number of people in outdoor areas. The GameCommission’spur- pose in pointing this out is to remind outdoor users that the rangelands and forests of the state are extremely dry. John McKean, state game director, said that we are in the midst of one of the driest late sum mer periods in some time. As such, a big chunk of Ore gon real eastate is a tinder box which could be ignited by a single outdoor user. McKean said that several states have already experienced some pretty big fires and our own state has not escaped, as numerous spot fires have been recorded in various areas. But the big explosion doesn’t have to happen in Oregon if each outdoorsman takes the proper precautions.

When a stroke occurs, perhaps the hardest thing the patient must fight is a feeling of hopelessness and despair. Strokes are not hopeless.

In our own time, perhaps the most famous persons who have survived strokes to continue their important work were Sir Winston Churchill and former President Dwight D. Eisen hower. Sir Winston was stricken at age 79 during his final term as Britian’s Prime Minister. He lived for about a dozen years thereafter. In 1957, during his second term as President, Mr. Eisen hower had a stroke which was mild and transitory in its ef fects. He made an excellent recovery and soon returned for three more years of what is often called the most strenuous job in the world. He lived into his 79th year, dying in 1969. An important consideration in stroke is hypertension, high blood pressure. Elevated levels raise the risk of stroke in two wavs. First, jn abnormally high pressure accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis, the condition in which arteries are narrowed by fatty deposits. When an artery is clogged, blocking blood flow tothebrain, a stroke occurs. Secondly, increased pressure may put an added strain on an already damaged blood vessel in the brain, causing it to “blow”, and produce so-called hemorr hagic stroke. Vour doctor can help you lower your blood pres sure, if it is too high. Discouragement is a common side-effect of stroke, one that sometimes affects the whole family as well as the patient. However, the fact that should be stressed is that in most cases some degree of recovery is possible, and in some there is total recovery. Another is that modern medical research will continue to provide new ways and means to help the patient fight stroke.
