Here at Brian Center, it makes a difference. Neither rain nor wind keeps the Word of Life Church, formerly of Eliza beth City, from journeying back to us from Portsmouth, Va. with a serv ice every third Sunday. Don't they "make a difference?" On Monday night, August 21, Adline Lewis, RN Clinical Supervisor, and Mary Beth Lay den, RSS, took five our residents to the Happy Home Camp Meeting. The Rev. Henry Pillow, pastor of The Happy Home Pentecostal Holiness Church, recognized them as they approached the outdoor taber nacle and escorted them to the middle section on the front row. Carolyn Lewis, Annie Kight, Alice Combs, Addie Harmon and Susie Perry enjoyed some beautiful gospel music presented by The Dixie Mel ody Boys. They said they heard some of the best singing, harmonica and piano playing and personal testimonies they'd ever heard before. Some tapes were purchased of old time camp meeting songs and were enjoyed in the car on their return to Brian Center. The tapes will also be played and shared with the other residents. Everyone worried about the mosquitoes, but the Lord took care of ev erything and no one got bit! ! Tuesday, Ned Thurston, volunteer, conducted his fun time, Bingo. This is a one-man operation with a crowd of over 20 people. He calls numbers, assists those who need it and keeps the entire hour, lively. Ned brings in a bag of surprises now and then. This man has been a friend to so many residents. It doesn't stop with fun and games. He visits rooms, knows patients by names and never fails to brighten their day. He "makes a difference". Wednesday morning, the residents had a surprise. Our two newest vol unteers from Snug Harbor, Becky Carson and Dorothy Galleraith, brought us from the Perquimans County Dinner Theater, a video of "Egad, What A Cad". Just when we were wondering how to see this per formance! How thoughtful, a video. These ladies "made a difference." Wednesday afternoon, we gathered to meet and welcome our newest employees who came to work with us in August. Refreshments were served. The following are already "making a difference;" Donald Long, Maintenance Director; Raymond Boyd, Cook; Gail Danaker, LPN; Rose Key, NA; Deborah Siano, LPN; Shirley Powell, Housekeeping; and Del ores Hall, NA. 00-00 0360 Thursday, we had our "Let's Cook" program. My, we were busy! Barbara Stallings, Rehab Dept. and Pat Rountree, Act. Dir. were the chief cooks, assisted by Sophia Ashburn, who greased the pans for the homemade pizza. Ellen Morris sprinkled the cneese and Annie Kight added the sausage. Alice Combs, Susie Perry, Naomi Banks and Mildred Walker watched and advised on the crust making. Residents sampled this during their Happy Hour. Sure was good. You know how hard it is to wait for something that smells so good to finish baking! We resolved that nicely. We had a "Sing-A Long" of old time happy favorites. We "made a difference" ! Marq Gray continued his teaching of the Bible. He donates all supplies and books to this class. Thursday evenings after supper we get together in our beautiful living room and travel back in time or to the Holy Land or wherever his teachings carry us. Marq "makes A Difference". On August 25, our residents hold their once-a-month council meeting. It is here that, we iron out problems, make decisions about our activities and discuss special events. This time, we planned Grandparent's Day, Sep tember 10. We talked about the crafts we are making for our biggest ever 4 yard sale in October. "We're making a difference". Saturday is a family day and we ad lib activities. Our Rehab. Dept. and volunteers "make a difference" this day. Families and visitors, please plan to watch an old movie in our living room on Monday night, September 4 at 6:30 p.m. with your favorite resi dent. Bring some popcorn, if you like. Hazel Blanchard, what a friend we have! In the absence of one of our well-loved ministers, Hazel brought us a beautiful message on the book of Ruth. Opening the service with an introduction from the activities direc tor, Ms. Blanchard played "What a Friend We Have In Jesus". The clos ing hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross" was a selection by our resident congregation. Willie Johnson, resident, delivered the closing prayer. Ms. * Blanchard is the mother of a resident, Helen Davis. "She makes a differ ence." Our Volunteer for this Week is Ned Thurston. As a roving reporter this weekend, my observations and comments are flattering to Brian Center Staff and residents. Our dining-recreation room was cleaned promptly by Housekeeping Dept. and church was set up by our activities director. Residents joined in singing hymns. Marjorie Chappell, volunteer and wife of resident Carlton Chappell, saw to it that a cool, iced drink was served to residents. 00-00 0107 Mary Beth Lay ton, Rehab Dept. and N.A., was surrounded by new flowers for our dining room table, which she was arranging with 'j( expertise. The Nursing Dept. was quietly and efficiently doing their job. The Rescue Squad was called for an emergency and each person did his job without causing alarm. Folks, please keep in mind that September 10 is National Grandparents Day. Brian Center invites you to visit with us on this day and make this the best day ever for grandparents. We will, in addition to a service and Family Day, host a reception for residents and family members during the afternoon.

Can a blow to the eye cause damage to the retina? A. A blow to the eye ? whether from a heavy object or a speeding ball ? may cause damage to the retina, as well as normal swell ing and discoloration from broken vessels around the eye itself. Signs of possible retina damage include a shadow looming across your normal vision, blurred vision, a loss of vide vision or sudden flashes of bright light. Your eye should be examined as soon as possible after ifs hit. By looking at your eyes through the ophthalmoscope and other instruments, your optometrist will be able to see whether there has been any retinal domage and determine the nature of treat ment which may be indicated. If you have only suffered a simple black eye, the swelling and discoloration will disappear in a short time. In many situations , especially sports octivltes (such as racquet boH) and writen working wtth power toots, eye in|uries can be avoided by wearing safety Boggles Jaycee's major emphasis areas.
