Sickle Cell Anemia affects the blood in such away that the organs of the body,such as bones, kidneys, heart, skin,do not always receive an adequie supply of oxygen. Red blood cells normally are round and shaped like a disc. They travel quite easily through the smallest blood ves sels, carrying their load of oxy gen to the body organs. Sick led red cells are pointed and curved and can plug up the smaller blood vessels. When this plugging occurs, an ade quate supply of blood cannot get through to the organs. This may cause pain (sickle cell crisis) in the stomach, back, head, bones and joints. The person may also tire easily, have a poor appetite, be small Treasure Sierra Madre ’"wPM Humphrey Bogart Walter Huston , and thin for his age, ar.d have sores on his ankles. Sickle cell disease affects one out of twelve black and affects people of Mediter ranean and Asian descent. Sickle cell disease affects people of Mediterranean and Asian descent.

Main Attraction | 'WdcUsr% BY JIM DEAN This was supposed to be the year when I wasn't going to make a fool of myself on opening day of the trout season, which was March 31 in case you were in jail or something and mised fc ft is traditional to try to catch a trout of some sort on opening day no matter how many of the elements are amassed against you. The elements are—in no particular order —wind, rain, sleet, snow, fog and high water. In past years, I and my Mends have always galloped with the gang on opening day, awl we have usually been inadequately reimbursed for our trouble. Very rarelydoes a trout actually join in the ritual of opening day. Trout, as any fisherman will tall you, have a lot of sense. This year was going to be different. We had decided to approach the new season more reasonably. "If the weather is bad, we'll stay inside, " one of my friends said. 'Then, if the weather turns off nice later in the day, we might try it. By that time, all the rest of the fishermen will be home in bed with the flu, and we'll have the water to ourselves. " Sound thinking, we all agreed. On the morning of March 31, I awoke to the sound of rain pounding on the rood and the drone of passing cars and trucks on the dirt road out in front of the cabin. Crazy fishermen, I thought as I drowsily rolled over and went back to sleep. Finally, about mid-morning, the smell of fresh perked coffee drove me from my warm sack. The cars and trucks —all filled with wet and frustrated fishermen—still rolled past the cabin. By lookifig through the rain-whipped window, I could see soggy fishermen in the'.nearby stream. We all laughed and congratulated each other on our good sense. Then, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast. All morning, we sat around drinking fnree pots of coffee,chan ging the lines on our reels, patching our waders and swap ping lies. There was much back slapping and mutual jok - ing at the expense of the multitudes who had forsaken their . warm cabins and tents to fish in the cold rain. By mid-afternoon, the rain was hardly more than a per sistent drizzle, but the creeks were still too high to afford much fishing. 'Tell you what let's do, " somebody remarked. "Let's ride up to that lake where all the fishermen stand jaw to jowl on the banks. That ought to be good for a laugh, and we can even carry some tackle if the weather clears up." That, my Mends, was the beginning of.our downfall. We packed into the car and drove to the lake. Sure e rough, fishermen were crowded around the edges of the pond. Some had even waded out into the water. It was cold,and a sharp wind was whipping a light rain across the water. Dense fog occasionally obscured all but the nearest anglers. Never have I witnessed a more wretched-looking collection of folks, and nobody was catching any fish. Nobody, that is, but one fellow. He had waded out well away from the bank, and while we watched,he actual ly caught a trout. We stopped laugh ing, and began to watch. "What do you think?" one of us finally asked. "We might ought to try it, " I said. I'What the heck. We're not going to catch any sitting in the car. " We piled out, pulled on our waders, gathered our gear and headed for the lake. In a few minutes, I had waded . the mucky bottom until I was waist deep in Mgid water. One of my socks had come off in my waders, but it didn't really matter because that leg was soon full of wa ter'from a small leak anyway. The rain and fog set in with a vengeance. Water dripped off my cap down the back of my neck. My hands were numb. The wind whipped my casts around my neck. I caught no trout. ExcepJt for ah occasional sneeze, there was little con versation in the car on the way back to the cabin. 1 "We almost m-nv-m-made it, didn't w-w-we?" some body finally said through chattering teeth. rs TTt * V V V T T nr W T" T V V V » r j PLAN AHEAD. : 'SO YOU WILL HAVE THE SELECTION W/ ’ YOU WANTFOR THAT JUNIOR-SENIOR^^ ’ PROM.WEDDING, OR THE FORMAL ' " OR SEMI-FORMAL PARTY. 4 IH jh , WE CARRY AFTER-SIX RENTAL FORMAL WEAR, ] BURNSVILLE ■ ****A A A * i ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■a | for SALE j By Owner 22 Acres with Plenty Os Water, Fronts on paved road just 2 miles off Hwy.l9-E, near Burnsville...
