more beneficial than, for ins
tance, New York climate? I
have an elderly mother who
is worried about the damp
ness and feels it would be
detrimental to her arthritic
condition, which is not really
the crippling kind. She does
have pain in her neck and
spine. She has lived all of her
life in New York City and is
hesitant to take up living in
Florida because of the damp
ness.
I personally feel, having
tried both climates, that
Florida would be better for
her. Any advice you can give
would be appreciated.
DEAR READER —When
you have lived all of your life
in one place, you always hesi
tate to pull up stakes and
move to any new location.
Friends, relatives and life
long associations become
more important as a person
grow older.
As far as climate and
arthritis are concerned, I
suspect it has been over ex
aggerated. The most impor
tant aspect of managing
arthritis is good medical
supervision, and there are
many fine doctors and medi
cal facilities in St.
Petersburg. I know a lot of
doctors in that area and con
sider medical practice there
to be top-notch.
From a climate point of
view, 1 am convinced that
older people do better in
milder climates. Battling the
elements gets harder and
harder as the years pass by.
Where you live is very
much a personal thing. There
are many factors involved. I
think the climate in St.
Petersburg is great and do
not think it should pose any
real medical problems for
you that you wouldn’t have
elsewhere.
DEAR DR. LAMB-Does
diabetes usually strike after
or when a person has a shock
or illness? Also, 1 have a
blood sugar test every four
months which never shows
any sugar. Do you think I still
have it? Or, is it only under
control? I am only on a diet
for diabetes.
DEAR READER —The
diabetes is usually there orig
inally, and after a severe ill
ness or shock it gets severe
enough to be noticed or diag
nosed. In other instances, the
problem in handling sugar
just gradually gets worse un
til it fits the classification of
diabetes.
Your blood tests do show
sugar (glucose), but I
presume that the amount is
within the normal range. Or,
at least they are normal
enough that your doctor is
unconcerned about it.
A person who really has
diabetes is not cured of it.
Rather, the problem is con
trolled. That means the blood
sugar isn’t too high, and the
person is doing fine. Many
persons with diabetes are
well controlled by diet alone.
This is particularly true if the
diabetes is not too severe and
the patient is faithful about
following the diet plan the
doctor has given him.

innocent
in dope case
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
(UPl)—Four Georgia residents
were acquitted early Sunday of
charges involving nearly a ton
of smuggled marijuana.
Mrs. Louise Salisbury, 41, and
Johnnie Beatrice Couch, 42,
both of Atlanta, and David Hen
derson, 26, of Chamblee, Ga.,
were acquitted of smuggling
and possession charges.
Mrs. Salisbury’s husband,
Henry C. Salisbury, 56, was
acquitted on charges of smug
gling and possession of a fire
arm, but a marijuana posses
sion charge resulted in a hung
jury.
The Salisburys and Couch
were arrested Sept. 9 in Gulf
stream, Fla., when authorities
discovered a van containing
1,853 pounds of marijuana near
a party they were attending.
Henderson, who owned the
truck, surrendered to authorit
ies later.
The five-man, one-woman
circuit court jury deliberated
two hours before reaching the
verdict in the court of Circuit
Judge Henry T. Carlisle.

Barrow sheriff resigns
WINDER, Ga. (UPI) — Barrow County Sheriff Howard
Austin resigned this weekend after a county grand jury
asked that he be removed from office.
A spokesman in the sheriff’s office said Austin mailed
his resignation Friday to Gov. Jimmy Carter and
Superior Court Judge Mark Dunahoo in Winder.
A Barrow County grand jury last week asked District
Attorney Nat Hancock to remove Austin from office for
alleged irregularities in financial procedures.
The grand jury called for his removal “due to the
evidence of these irregularities, consisting of the
receiving of cash bonds, fines, forfeitures, cost and
restitution.”
Citizens object to 1-485
ATLANTA (UPI)—Gov. Jimmy Carter has been asked
to formally cancel the proposed 1-485 highway by a
citizen’s group that opposes the project.
Dr. J. Michael Lane, chairman of the Atlanta Coalition
on the Transportation Crisis, suggested Saturday that
Carter transfer the allotted funds to the Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority. Lane also criticized Carter for his role
in combining a poll on the controversial highway with a
state Democratic party poll.
“This so-called poll is another in the series of desperate
moves by the governor to resurrect 1-485,” he said.
Mayor won’t run again
ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. (UPI)- Adairsville Mayor R.S.
“Shorty” Adams says he won’t be running for reelection
next month.
Adams and the city council were sued last July by a citi
zen’s group for violation of the state’s sunshine, or open
meeting law. The group, which calls itself “concerned
citizens,” won its suit in Bartow County Superior Court.
One of the citizens bringing the suit, grocer Otis
Holcomb, is campaigning for mayor on the platform that
he will hold no closed meetings.
