Robert Doby of the funeral home says D1DS is a medical entity that suddenly and unexpectedly strikes healthy children when they are placed in bed. Each year in North Carolina between 160 and 165 infants ages one month to one year die of "crib death." SIDS is not hereditary and not contagious. It is something that happens. Doby says he is often called upon to serve families who have experienced this malady and he is mostly concerned in assisting these families to cope with the situation. This program should be most helpful to families and to make them aware of the situation, he says. The speaker will be Mrs. Pat Summerhill of the Hoke County Health Department who is special ly trained in dealing with the syn drome. The public is invited. TIME TO UPDATE YOUR PLUMBING!

Poison Prevention Week Old Prescription Bottles Can Bring Credit People who have old, outdated pretention bottles for medication can earn free merchandise -- even perhaps save their lives ? through a special service being offered by a local pharmacy. Merchandise credit will be given for every old prescription bottle or container brought to The Medicine Shoppe. a prescription-only pharmacy at 121 South Main St.. Raeford. during National Poison Prevention Week. March 18 through 25. "Old, outdated medicines should not be used and are hazardous to children." pharmacist Ruth Parish says. "Many people don't realize that old prescriptions are potential poisons and should not be kept in medicine chests or cabinets where children can easily get to them." Local citizens are encouraged to collect their outdated prescription containers and bring them to The H33EIEEQB Reg.

There is no limit to the number of containers that can be exchanged for credit for this special program nor do they have to be from a Medicine Shoppe. The Medicine Shoppe Poison Prevention Week program is one of several health services offered regu jarly to local residents. Others include screenings for blood pres sure. diabetes, glaucoma and oral cancer. The store is part of a national chain of some 260 Medicine Shop pes. Unlike conventional drug stores which carry a great deal of non-prescription merchandise, more than ninety per cent of Medicine Shoppe's business is pre scription. The store guarantees a low price on all merchandise it sells and offers a unique customer registra tion program. Karen Jackson.

Background Scripture: Matthew 23 through 24:35 Devotional Reading: Joshua 23:14-16 Years ago there was a humorous review on Broadway called " Beyond The Fringe." One of the sketches in this show was built around an anonymous religious group that had predicted that the "End of the World" was going to occur on a specific date. On that day the group assembled on a mountaintop to await the great cataclysm. As in chorus they counted down to the precise Our health insurance may help you feel better. Call: M.

For a few breathless minutes, ac tors and audience waited together in silence for something to happen. When at last it was apparent that nothing was going to happen, the leader of the cult announced to his group, "Oh well, everybody back tomorrow at the same time"! Not One Stone Upon Another The humor in the sketch, of course, lay in the fact that the group was quite undeterred by the failure of their prophecy. They had their hearts set on the "End of the World" and nothing was going to take that glorious expectation away from them. There was also a sense in which we in the audience were laughing at ourselves, for we too are often infected with the same kind of arrogant confidence that assumes we have some kind of "in side knowledge" of God's plan. History has been full of "Dooms day" groups. Vet, these repeated failures of doomsday prophecy do not seem to have deterred today's prophets of doom and destruction. Books about the "End of the World" are very popular in the religious and general markets. Religious leaders today are still confidently ? almost gleefully ? telling us that we are in "the last days" before the world is utterly destroyed. And when we look at the symptoms all round, who can help but wonder at times whether the sickness we see is not fatal and the clamor we hear is the "death rattle" of the world as we know it? Yet, if we seriously study the symptoms ? "wars and rumors of war", "nation against nation", "famines and earthquakes", when has there not been a period in the world's history when these things were not so? When has not the followers of Christ known hatred, the church experienced a falling away of the fainthearted, and "false prophets" who "arose and led many astray"? Perhaps what we need to con centrate upon in these somewhat confusing words of Jesus are not the "signs of the end", but the counsel as to what we are to do in the meantime: "see that you are not alarmed" (24:6) and remember that "he who endures to the end will be saved" (24:13). For Jesus, despite all of his prophecies con cerning "the last days", did not commission his followers to preach a message of impending disaster, but "the gospel of the kingdom ...throughout the whole world".
