July 20-21, 1982 - EFNEP Nutrition
Day Camp to be held both days at
Avery Chapel Church.
Hint: Keep the lint screen in the
dryer clean. Remove lint after each
load. Lint impedes the flow of air in
the dryer and requires the machine
to use more energy.
Diet plans that provide very low
calorie levels (800 or less) can be
dangerous and even fatal when
used without close medical super
vision during the dieting period and
refeeding period.
Some of these lower calorie diets
come in a powdered mix form.
We seldom think of the refeeding
period after the diet has stopped as
being dangerous. A rapidly increas
ing calorie intake can put a great
strain on the heart's functions.
Food must be reintroduced grad
ually while under medical super
vision.
We know that a large number of
Americans are overweight and need
to shed pounds but it needs to be
recognized also that care needs to
be taken when dieting.
Summer is a good time to cut
calories because many fresh fruits
and vegetables can be eaten raw.
Chewing helps to satisfy hunger
so give your food a good work out.
Leave the table before you are
completely satisfied.
Try these two hints and good
luck.

Health Watch
Alcoholism is a very difficult
disease to treat, but it can be done.
A certain percentage of alcoho
lics can be treated successfully, says
a pamphlet from the American
Medical Association. Not all are
hopeless cases.
Many alcoholics should be hospi
talized in the early phases of
treatment, to treat health problems
arising from drinking and to
interrupt drinking patterns. Some
general hospitals offer treatment
programs, other programs are in
psychiatric hospitals, and compre
hensive centers for alcoholics are
available in most larger communi
ties. Personnel especially trained to
deal with the physical and social
problems function as teams in the
treatment centers. Rehabilitation is
emphasized.
Treatment is directed toward
helping alcoholics fine a new way of
life free of alcohol. It helps
alcoholics to understand and ac
cept their problem, and gives
encouragement to overcome the
sense of inadequacy that caused the
disease initially.
Treatment of alcholics. no
matter how comprehensive, fre
quently breaks down as soon as
they leave the hospital or doctor's
office.
On their own again, the alco
holics are face to face with the very
real issues of where they will go.
what they will do. and what they
can expect from others. There is
strong likelihood they will be
unable to withstand much stress
without resorting to alcohol again.
The physician realizes that his/
her role is limited, and that truly
remedial treatment requires the
combined efforts of many persons
in the total rehabilitation of the
patient and the family.
Many agencies and organizations
concerned with alcoholism belong
to the Alcohol and Drug Problem
Association of North America. The
Association's office (1101 15th St..
N.W.. Washington. D.C. 20036)
will furnish complete information
on resources available in any
community in the country.
Most states have statelevel al
coholism programs and many local
government programs exist. Many
communities have an Alcoholism
Information Center to coordinate
local resources.
After the program a basketball
game between former Upchurch
High and Anne Chestnutt students
will be held.
All persons who attended school
either in Rockfish or Silver Grove
churches after the old school
burned are asked to attend these
churches for morning worship ser
vices September 5.
A banquet is scheduled for 6
p.m. September 5 at Bordeaux
Motor Inn's lower level, on Owen
Drive, Fayetteville, one block past
Cape Fear Valley Hospital. The
charge for the banquet is $15 per
person. Payment is due no later
than July 31 and can be paid to the
alumni secretary, Mrs. Alberta
Holt McPhatter, 1717 Cockman
Hill Rd., Raeford, 28376; or by
mailing to Mrs. McPhatter at that
address.
Payment may be made in cash or
by money order or cashier's check.
A money order or cashier's check
should be made payable to the
Upchurch High Alumni Fund.
At the banquet, a memory book
will be compiled by Olan Mills
Studio of Orlando, Fla., for anyone
who wants to buy one. The cost is
$10 each.
Willie Sinclair of Plaza Sports
Center, Raleigh, is to design T
shirts for the occasion. The cost will
be about $6 each.
The public is invited to attend
the Saturday program and basket
ball game.

COOL HOUSE
A good way to keep your house
cool in the summer is to shade it
from the outside. The east and west
sides are where the most heat
comes through -- if you can shade
here, it'll show up right away in a
smaller air conditioning bill and a
cooler home.
Trees and vines that shade in the
summer and lose their leaves for
winter are what you want -- they'll
let the sun back in for the winter
months.
If you can't shade your house

with trees, concentrate on keeping
the sun out of your windows with
awnings, sun shutters, sunshades
or reflective foil.
You may also use heavy or (
insulated draperies to help keep
your house cool in the warm
summer months. But you'll need to
keep drapes closed during the day
and you'll need to make sure they
fit tightly at the top.

CHECK AIRCONDITIONER
FILTER
If you've been running your |
airconditioner a lot, it's probably
time to look at the filter. After all,
filters usually need to be changed
or cleaned two or three times
during the cooling season.
On the window airconditioner,
the filter is right behind the front
panel. Plastic mesh filters can be
washed in water or you can clean
the dust off with your vacuum
cleaner.
You may need to replace fiber
glass filters since that material
can't be vacuumed too well.
If you have central aircon
ditioning, change the filter just like
you do during the heating season.
Checking the filter on your air
conditioner is worth the trouble. If
the filter gets too dusty, the
conditioner won't operate efficient
ly. And that will cost you money. '
