Bee Association Trying To Help
Couple Has Huge Medical Bills
HELP!
That's what Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Shepperd, of Aberdeen need. And
that's what the Bee Associa
tion is trying to do. Here's the
situation.
Last year, before Christmas, Mr.
and Mrs. Shepperd had twins; a
girl and a boy. The little girl was
born with spinal bifida. She has
had 17 operations, but will pro
bably never walk. The baby, now
home from the hospital, is being
treated at home by a physical
therapist. But this is only half of
the Shepperds' burden.
Shortly after the twins were born,
the Shepperds' 17-year-old son was
in a car accident. Someone ran a
red light and hit him. After being
in a coma for eight weeks, after
brain surgery and removal of his
spleen, after having 25 pints of
blood, he can now move one hand

and his eyes! They think he
recognizes people.
This young man, who would have
celebrated his 18th birthday this
past Sunday, and graduated from
high school this year, has just been
moved to the Rehabilitation Center
at Cape Fear Valley Hospital. They
are treating him as they would treat
a stroke victim.
In addition to the emotional
anguish Mr. and Mrs. Shepperd
are trying to survive, there are the
ever mounting medical expenses.
In the baby's case alone, they have
reached over 5150,000! That repre
sents a lot of needed help. The Bee
Association is trying to get everyone
to help.
On Saturday, August 7, the Bee
Association is holding a yard sale at
Edenborough Shopping Center in
Raeford. All the proceeds will go to
the Shepperds. Everyone is urged
to donate anything that can be
sold: refrigerators, appliances,
Qtensils, glass or china, clothes,
toys, handcrafts, whatever can be
spared.
Items for the yard sale may be
dropped off at the home of John T.

Your Pet
Dear Doctor: I'm an early morn
ing jogger and want to take my dog
along for protection. I've read that
dogs can't always keep up the pace.
Answer: Whether or not your pet
can keep up with you depends on
both his and your condition. If he is
fat and overfed, jogging can be
harder on him than you. At any
rate, start him out slowly, see that
he has plenty of water before and
after your run, and keep him on a
leash to guard against the hazard of
being hit by a car.
Dear Doctor: Where can we get
information for a 4-H program on
pet care?
Answer: Pet projects are popular
in 4-H programs around the state
so chances are that several veteri
narians in your area are already
involved in programs. They are
your best source of information.
Further assistance is available from
your county extension agent.
Do you have a question about pet
care? If so send it to "YOU AND
YOUR PET," 112 Johnston Street,
Smithfield, N.C. 27577.

Scouts Show Leaders Appreciation
The following letter was received
at The News-Journal office for Mrs.
Peggy Barnard, the writer of The
Rockfish News column in the
newspaper.
It shows what the Girl Scout
leaders mean to their Scouts.
Mrs. Polly Barnard:
My name is Diana Johnson; I
belong to Troop 862 of Girl Scouts.
I have asked the other girls to pitch
in some money to get the leaders a
special gift. This gift is some
plaques to show our appreciation
for their time, effort, and patience
with us.
We are going to give it to them
Sunday July 25th before we leave
for camp. We are to meet behind
the public library in the parking
area of McLauchlin Elementary in
Raeford. All girls must be checked
in by 10:30 a.m. The bus will be
moving out at 11:00 a.m. We are
hoping you would print this in the
paper so that everyone in Rockfish
and Raeford will know how proud
we are of our troop leaders.
Thank you.

Pain
Centers
Praised
Chronic pain (pain of more than
six months duration) is one of the
most common disabling illnesses in
the United States, creating a
serious national health care and
economical problem.
The condition accounts for many
work hours lost, and Americans
spend between S50 and $100 billion
on treatment which is in its infancy
and is time-consuming, expensive,
and complex.
Interdisciplinary pain centers
such as one established at the
University of North Carolina in
1972 have provided promising ap
proaches to treatment.
In the July 1982 issue of the
North Carolina Medical Journal,
Drs. Jawahar N. Ghia and Kenneth
Sugioka discuss some important
problems that jeopardize the con
tinued existence of pain centers and
offer some solutions. Citing recent
work from pain centers that lead to
better diagnosis and therapy, the
authors recommend that the medi
cal community give its full sup
port to the development and preser
vation of a selected number of pain
centers.
The clinical research in such
fields as biofeedback and basic
research in such areas as endor
phins and electromechanical nerve
blocking, hold great promise that
we will find ways of reducing the
number of people incapacitated by
chronic pain.
"Such an achievement is well
worth the eflorts needed to remove
the current barriers to the growth
and maintenance of pain centers."
