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 } Weddings i CALL Luncheon.

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.

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.

C. 9 - 9 Mon. - Sat. 1-?Sunday 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. Diana Johnson 5022 Sunset Rd. Raeford, N.C. 28376 Phone - 875-2548 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."
