Autumn Driving Hazards

Posternock Pepper Party a Hit

TRENTON - Fall brings a leafy show of many colors to delight the eye, but it also brings added driving hazards for motorists, says Clifford W. Snedeker, Director of the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles. Falling leaves, particularly during rainy or damp weather, can turn roadways into slippery ice rinks, he says. Add loose gravel and oil and you have a bad season for motorists. LEAVES CAN create a matting under tires, causing them to lose their grip on the road and sending the

vehicle into a skid,, particularly when applying the brakes. By releasing the brakes for an instant, the wheels will roll over the packed leaves. It may even be necessary to release the brakes at short intervals to keep from slipping along on the bunched wet leaves. Never apply the brakes so hard that they lock. Wet ledves under the tires and locked brakes Will cause the car to go into a dangerous skid. So be conscious of road conditions and attempt to steer clear of leaves when at all-

‘October Hay Fever’ Source

COURT HOUSE - Asthma and allergies that flare up after the ragweed season has ended may be caused by mushroom spores, says Mr. John Santille Jr. and his co-workers from the University of Connecticut and John Hopkins School of Medicine. Their report indicates that’ the phenomenon known as ‘‘October hay fever" may also be caused by the mushroom spores. Two groups of people, loo of them with asthma and too with allergic rhinitis were exposed to spores from various mushrooms

and mold.

THE ASTHMA SUFFERERS tended to have immediate reactions to at least four of the extracts. Delayed reactions were reported by many of the

allergy sufferers.

As a suggestion for Trick or Trekt to avoid filling the youngsters with sugar treats. Dr. Thomas Shearer of Oregon Health Sciepces School of DentistiV recommends pre-

packaged foods such as ,

sugarless gum or sunflower seeds or nonfood items such as crayons or even a tooth brush. ANOTHER BIT of advice — your trick or treater would do better to "pig out" on the candy all at one time than to it a little at a time. Dr. Shearer says it is not the total amount of sugar, but rather how often teeth are exposed to it that

causes decay

Dr. Richard Dominquez, a sports medicine specialist in the September 1982 issue of Physician and Sports Medicine, reports many sports injuries are from stretching muscles and ligaments which leaves a runner or jogger vulnerable to injury. Warm-ups are necessary . for athletic competitions or before throwing or serving a ball, but for the more casual exerciser, he '57 Roundup VILLAS - A local resident, Mrs. Eleanor Stecher, is attempting to locate members of the Class of 1957 of Holy Cross in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, for the 25th anniversary reunion of the

“FALL IS . A beautiful time of year and one we all wish to enjoy. So don’t waste it for yourself or anyone else by driving carelessly and landing in the hospital," Snedeker said. 4. Snedeker also warned that with cooler evening weather motorists, particblarly in rural areas, should be altered to the danger of deer wandering onto roadways. At this time of year the deer are ab traded to the heat held by the road surface and venture forth after dark. IF YOU SEE one deer on or near the road, be alert for more, since deer travel in family groups. Hitting a deer could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Or, if you swerve to avoid hitting the animal, you might hit another car or get in the way of one, Snedeker

warned.

Fall Brings NeedFor Blood

COURT HOUSE - During the fall, the Red Cross notes that there is another vital community service provided which- n9eds something other than money: blood. Forkhc past three years, the Red Cross blood services have suffered a serious blood

shortage.

Virtually 100 percent of the blood needed by pa tients is provided through volunteer blood donations to the Red Cross blood

services.

"SUCH MAJOR medical centers as Deborah Heart and Lung Center in New , Jersey and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as well as s Burdette Tomlin Memorial n&mjLpl rely on Rot Cross to supply all their blood needs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. But Red Cross can supply tha^ blood only if people in*the community put forth a united effort to donate blood," said Tina ^Remy, bloodmobile

chairman.

Studies by the American Blood Commission show that 25 percent of all Americans reaching aga72 will use blood or a bloM

product. Less than 5 percent of the population in this area donates; 50 per cent are medically eligible to donate, according to Red Cross statistics. BLOOD IS a resource that comes only from peo pie. "Reports that artificial blood can replace human blood have been misleading. Artificial blood only serves to carry a small amount of oxygen needed in the blood stream." said Miss Remy. Blood is needed not only for accidents and surgeries but also for cancer treatment and research, for hemophiliacs, for many vaccines, and for burn victims. said the chairman. Healthy individuals between the ages of 17 and 65 who weigh at least 110 pounds are urged to call 465-7382 to make an appointment to donate. “EVERY PINT i? precious. Every dontion may mean renewed life for someone. It really requires a community-widt? effort We all benefit from an assured volunteer blood supply — it’s there for anyone who needs it,” said Miss Remy.

Raffa For N.J. Beach Authority

SEA ISLE CITY - The city was featured in a recent edition of The Conference Quarterly, a publication of The New Jersey Conference of Mayors. The article, A Close Look At Shore Communities. was based on an interview with Mayor Dominic C. Raffa. RAFFA CALLED for returning the control of the coastal areas to the coastal governments, ^rather than bureaucrats in Trenton. “The jurisdictional hierarchy is too cumbersome, especially when it comes to getting permiLs for development,” Raffa said. "GIVE US the barrier islands. We'll be responsible for them Let us bulkhead the bay side and put in Jagoons like they did in Florida. People want to go fishing and boating, we have the resources to develop these areas, and they (DEP) won’t give us the permits to do it." Raffa noted that Sea Isle City has three miles of

beaches, which, according to the New Jersey Shore Protection Master Plan, are in relatively good shape, as evidenced by the ‘recreational development' classification. THE CITY HAS taken several steps to protect its beaches; most notably construction of bulk-heads and a roadway between the beach and frpnt line properities. An ’ average of $500,00() is spent annually on beach restoration and operation for the 170,000 vacationers who visit the community. Beach fees pay about half of the operating expenses. One suggestion Mayor Raffa offered in the article was a statewide beach authority to replace thd existing hierarchy. "There are too many entities involved in these activities — the Corps of Engineers, the Tidclands Council, the Wildlife Federhtion, historical groups and environmental groups operating in this area. We need one central group," Raffa concluded.
