Computer Assistance (We Make Coplee) At 0:01 a.m. on New Years Day, January l, 1986, Tony Leo Pailier, Jr. was born, becoming the New Year* Baby at Albe marle Hospital. The baby was delivered by Dr. Eugene McDaniel The parents are Lisa and Tony Baker of Tyner. The new arrival is their first baby. He weighed in at 6 lb. 12 ox. "I didn't have any idea we'd have the first baby," said Lisa Baker from her hospital room the following day. But, the happy parents are de lighted with their new bundle and are pleased with the kind atten tion his birth has received. Both mother and baby are well, antic ipating discharge from the hospi tal on January 3. A local newspaper, The Daily Advance, sponsored a New Years Baby Contest this year. A number of merchants donated gifts to the Baker baby in the pro motion. Health tune-up could be costly If prevention was worth a pound of cure in Ben Franklin's day, then with inflation it must be worth a thousand pounds to day, particularly when the topic has to do with healthcare and the cure is costing Americans in ex cess of $300 billion every year. As medical costs increase along with our growing popula tion of senior citizens (ourselves included,) nobody can afford to ignore the harsh reality that if you don't take care of yourself today, sooner or later some body's going to pay for it? whether it's your surviving fam ily, the government, or your friendly insurance company. But whoever picks up the bill can be sure of one thing, if you haven't been taking care of your body before things start to go wrong, the price tag for a tuneup is going to be high. That's why manly insurance companies are beginning exer cise programs for policy holders who want to reduce their monthly premiums and employ ers are encouraging their mem bers to follow careful guidelines to prevent unnecessary health costs. The fact is that it simply doesn't pay to get sick anymore, not to mention the simple truth that it's not very much fun ei ther. As a result of the new aware ness of preventive medicine and what enormous benefits it can achieve, you'd think that every health care program in the coun try would be concentrating a ma jor part of their money allocation into Ben Franklin's old saying. Well, think again. The surgical approach to coro nary artery disease is certainly appropriate in many situations. Many patients with angina, how ever, may well be treated with some of the newer medications. Medical management is, of course, significantly less expen sive. Of course specific cases of heart disease respond well to sur gical intervention, but that's not the point. The point is that pa tients and medical personnel al ike would be infinitely better off, physically as well as economi cally by taking notice of precau tions and preventing risk factors before radical treatments are re quired.

When the temperature is well below freezing, many plants and animals would freeze to death ? if they didn't have a blanket of snow covering them. \ How can a blanket of cold snow keep plants and animals warm? Air is trapped by the snowflakes in a layer of ; snow just as air is trapped by feathers i in a down jacket. And air is good insula i tion. The air in a snow blanket keeps the f heat given off by animals, plants, and soil from escaping ? the same way air in a down jacket keeps your body heat close to you. You can find out how warm a snow blanket is by testing it yourself Use a regular household thermometer First take a reading of the air temperature and write it down. Next stick your thermometer a little way into a snow bank. Wait a few minutes before you pull it out and read it. Then take the \ temperature of the snowbank in the \ ! middle and at the ground. Is the } temperature warmer as you go deeper \ into the snow? Snow Bunny To make this super snow bunny, cut out paper ears. eyes. nose, whiskers, and feet. Glue them onto a plastic egg (you can use the kind that some pantyhose come in). Then glue on a puff of cotton for a tail.
