Pork Referendum Conducted March 26 The pork and egg referen dum will be conducted joint ly this year on March 26. Polling places for this>referen dum to be conducted in Franklin County will be announced later. Farmers who sell hogs for slaughter and other persons who re ceive income from such sales or everyone who share in the proceeds from the sale of hogs for slaughter, can vote in the referendum. Producers may vote at any of the polling places that is most convenient to them, but the election roster must be signed in order to avoid dupli cation. In order for the re lerendum to be carried, two thirds of those voting must vote in favor of the referen dum. The big question to decide is whether or not an assess ment of .05 cents per head of all hogs sold for slaughter through hog buying stations, auction markets, dealers or meat packers be made. The five cent per head would apply only to hogs sold for slaughter, but will not include those which sell for less than $10.00 per head. If the re ferendum is approved, the assessment will be effective Dr. Patterson Re-elected To AAGP Dr. Bernard Low Patter son, North Main Street, has been re -elected to active membership in the American Academy of General Practice, the national association of family doctors.

How To Fiqht Fatique New York (NAPS) ? New ways to solve an old problem, fatigue, keep coming to the fore. Foods that fill you up, but don't nourish you properly, are one cause of many people feeling tired. But from break fast foods to treats as a bed time snack, a variety of new foods- if you look for them can help you avoid nutri tionally caused fatigue. Vacations that knock you out more than they relax you are another common cause of fatigue. Yet a new tour of fered by an English airline flies people to London and back, almost assures them of getting plenty of relaxation, yet costs only $300 including hotels. It's even less costly, and surprisingly effective, to fol low a strange-sounding piece of advice offered by authori ties. breathe enough! Oddly, many people don't. They slouch, crowding the lungs, they faU to get enough oxy gen, then they wonder why they are so tired! Controlling your weight, sleep habits and even your room color may be effective fatigue fighters. t , . The importance of foods in avoiding fatigue were illu strated by Dr. I. M. Rabino witch of Montreal General Hospital. He found that sugars appear in the blood stream in as little as two minutes after theyre eaten Because a rise in the blood sugar level is a condition widely associated with free dom fromatigue, a mid-after noon sweet is for many I people a good idea. So are vitamin loaded cereals, many of which are at least as tasty as other kinds. Some kinds of spaghetti and macaroni have extra protein, yet cost nothing extra. Want to lose calories without losing most of the nutrients in milk? Try skim milk or powered milk. The key word. In pro per nutrition, is "try. Vacations. You can enjoy a relaxing and interesting one anywhere in the world -or right near home-and the English show tour is a good example. In addition to air fare, plus 13 nights in a hotel, plus a full breakfast every morning, plus the free use of a car for three days and a camera for two weeks ) the latter encouraging you to re lax and take some Pictures) the tour encourages activities which while thoroughly en joyable are also thoroughly restful, theater-going, gamb ling-watching, and easy shop ping. The exemplary tour pro vides tickets to eight different London plays or musicals. Can anyone go to a theater and not relax? ' Automatically, people on the BOAC tour get a two week guest membership to London's newest casino. (It s much more restful-and prob ably more economicalto watch others do the gamb ling.) At one of the theaters, visitors go on * relaxing back stage visit. A 10% BOAC shopping discount is given to passen gers in London (an activity more relaxing for women than for men). The very nature of the city, and there are other, equally easy-on-the-ears sights. if you look for them, is restful. At the London Tower are the famed crown jewels. A tourist boat leisure ly sails up and down the Thames. The thing to do in Piccadilly Circus (a main square in London): stand on the island in the middle of the Circus, do absolutely nothing, and see the many types of Englishmen who pass right by. The important thing to re member is that not only in England, but anywhere if you plan things right, vacations can be as restful as they are zestful. Right at home, right now, you can resolve to take these additional fatigue-fighting measures: . Buy a bottle of vitamins -any "name" brand is good and take one every day. . Take off at least half the weight you know you should. The more you weight, the more energy you use just to move around. . If you find it hard to get to sleep, consider heavier cot ton sheets (they don't get warm and humid so quickly) and perhaps a new mattress. . If you can't sleep, re member that relaxing com pletely with your eyes closed Is said to provide about 80% as much rest as you'-d get If you were actually sleeping. . At Johns Hopkins Uni versity. experiments indicate that rooms painted blue and green tend to relax the mind t and reduce muscular tension. | Yellow, orange and red. on the other hand, tend to stim ulate. . Remember that not only coffee and (to a lesser extent) tea cHntaiif caffeine, but also cola ldrinks--not the best choice for bedtime. . If you must get rid of fatigue in a hurry, one of the quickest and surest ways is easy: take a cold shower. If you have more time, go to London. Either way, go to your doctor at least once a year; not only may he spot a problem causing fatigue, but he may alternatively tell you you're fine This will help you relax. Our advice to you this week is to take care of your heart, and live a while longer.
