and their properties we
learn how to use the ones
that are best for us as tonics to re-
build and strengthen the body, those
used to treat specific problems, plus
those used as buffers, stabilizers or
reinforcement therapy.
Our bodies are electrical ma-
chines• We must know how the drive
system works, where the short cir-
cuits are, and how to repair our
equipment to keep it in running or-
der. Would you believe that the
Atomic Research Society states that
our bodies are capable of runniqg
for 450 years? Like any machine,
ours in particular, is in constant use.
1,500 mile check-ups come every
seven years, if not before, and every
day we create new cells some
place. We need to learn how to rec-
ognize the signs of malfunction, to
be aware of the ongoing changes
and to pay attention to the immedi-
ate and necessary repair problems.
To begin our glossary of terms
let's start with ALTERNATIVES.
Herbs in this category are blood
sweeteners. They healthfully im-
prove the system by generating
good, clean blood which stimulates
circulation, improves digestion and
betters glandular secretion. They
should be used over a long period of
time as other corrections in diet and
problem areas are accomplished.
Good herb examples are: American
.ivy, black elder bark, burdock root,
cayenne, chaparral, goldenseal,
oregon grape root, plantain, prickly
ash, sassafras, yellow dock, and
with extra caution and in minute
doses, pokeweed.
These herbs, their properties and
uses, will be talked about next time.

Retired School Employees will
meet Friday, February 2, 10:30 a.m.
in Wesley Halt at Lewisburg Method-
ist Church.
All retirees are urged to attend to
hear Sally Richardson, Director of
the "Public Employees Insurance
Program.• (PEIA)
The Retirees are greatly con-
cerned about the insurance program
since their premiums have been in-
creased, while benefits have been
decreased according to Bea Harvey,
publicity chairman for the group.
Following the presentation by
Mrs Richardson, questions will be
taken from the audience•
"No employee, who is interested
in his insurance program, should
miss this opportunity to get first-
hand knowledge about the PEIA
and its future," commented Mrs
Stone.
Business items include reports
from Committee Chairmen. Lucille
Skaggs will give the repod of the
nominating committee• Other nomi-
nations will be made from the floor.
For the fun part of the program, a
skit "The Old Folks Ain't What They
Usta Be," has been written and will
be introduced by Harold Ryder. This
promises to be a "laugh for every-
one," according to Mrs Harvey•
Other retired workers, who are
members of the PEIA, are welcome
to attend, Mrs Harvey said.
