(When this gap is closed 1-75 will be complete from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., to Tampa, Fla.) 1-85: South Carolina line in northeast Georgia to the Ala bama line near Lanett, total route 170 miles, 151 miles open, 19-mile gap between Grantville and LaGrange, expected to be completed before Thanksgiving this year. 1-95: Hardeeville, S.C., down the Georgia coast to St. Marys, Fla., total route 111.7 miles, 91.1 miles completed; two open segments, from Savannah to the South Carolina line, open Aug. 26 this year, and about 8 miles below Brunswick, should be open by Christmas this year. And then there is 1-185, the last major working project in the interstate system in Geor gia. It will connect Columbus to 1-85 near LaGrange, 43.6 miles when completed, 2.2 miles open now. The state hopes to have it all open in the first quarter of 1979. WATCH THAT STINGER: State health authorities say some folks think the bee is only a nuisance that can do no more than sting you if you get in its way. Right? Wrong. The bee can kill you. And that goes for wasps, yel low jackets, hornets and ants, too. Sensitivity can come about fast, they say. About 50 per cent of persons highly allergic to insect stings have had no previous indication they are de veloping severe sensitivity. Some symptoms to watch for: labored breathing, difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness, or thickened speech, weakness, confusion and a feeling of im pending disaster. Other more serious symptoms include low ered blood pressure, collapse or unconsciousness. Quick medical treatment is the answer. CANCER SIGNALS: It’s esti mated that one of every four Americans will eventually have cancer. But the American Can cer Society says if it’s diag nosed early enough, one out of every three can be saved. You’ve probably heard these warning signals before, but a review might be just the thing to help save a life: —A change in bowel or blad der habits, possible warnings of cancer in the colon or prostate gland. —A sore that does not heal, a possible indication of skin or mouth cancer. —Unusual bleeding or dis charge, possible warnings of cancer in the womb, cervix or bowel; and just because you have hemorrhoids, don’t ignore rectal bleeding. —A thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere—usually not cancer but early discovery and prompt treatment of breast cancer are life-saving. —lndigestion or difficulty in swallowing, which could be warnings of cancer in the stom ach or esophagus. —An obvious change in a wart or mole may warn of skin cancer. —Nagging cough, hoarseness or a lump-in-the-throat feeling may indicate cancer of the lungs or voice box, and ciga rette smokers should be par ticularly alert to these signals. USEFUL HINTS, from the Extension Service: —Keep a box of baking soda in the glove compartment of your car to use as an emergency fire extinguisher for an engine fire. Soda also will smother fire in a seat cushion or floor mat, and a sprinkling of it in ashtrays will prevent cigarettes from smoldering. —Ashes from fireplaces and wood-burning stoves can be used to supplement fertilizers and condition the soil in vege table gardens and flower beds. —Keeping bedroom doors closed will delay the spread of fire and allow more escape time; it takes 10 to 15 minutes for fire to burn through a wood en door. —To seal an envelope so it can’t be steamed open, use egg white. Wordy sermons MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Now that vacilando, anamnesis and tohubohu have been dealt with, the Rev. Dr. Leslie Pugh is preparing sermons on pastiche, accidie and anomia. Summer Sundays are a good time to use “unusual and pre posterous” words as sermon themes, says the pastor of Mayflower Congregational Church, a United Church of Christ parish. July and August, Dr. Pugh says, is “a ready-made time to do things which people can smile at.” On July 24, the pastor used “vacilando” to describe his wanderings, meaning that he was going somewhere but didn’t care whether he got there. On July 31, Dr. Pugh dis cussed anamnesis — “against amnesia, living memory, the need to be in touch.” Last Sun day, he spoke about tohubohu, or chaos and confusion. Next will follow pastiche, an artistic work imitating the style of a previous work. On Aug. 21, it will be accidie, the failure to be glad. The series finale Aug. 28 will be on anomia, the in ability to affix a noun to an ob ject. “They (the parishioners) now talk to me about the dictionaries they use,” he says. “It’s made them more literary. And it’s drawn more of them into church on Sunday. That can’t hurt at aU." Oezvt -A Dead lover’s letter not fit to print By Abigail Van Buren 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N Y News Synd Inc DEAR ABBY: I have a handwritten letter from a highly respected prominent married man who was my lover for 17 years. In that letter he said he never loved anyone in his life the way he loved me! He died recently, and now I want the world to know the truth. Can I buy space in my local newspaper and have that letter reproduced? Nothing would make me happier. BACKSTREET SWEETHEART DEAR SWEETHEART: Each editor uses his own discretion as to what shall be published in his newspaper. But I hope you realize that what may make YOU “happy” may cause embarrassment and heartache for the family of your deceased lover. Think about it. Then please forget it. DEAR READERS: The editor of Teen Magazine sent me an “ad” that ran in a high school newspaper. With so many teenagers seeking summer employment, it might be helpful: Looking for a Job? Use this checklist on job interviews: 1. Ask for at least $374 a month, plus free room and board. 2. Insist on 30-days’ vacation for the first year. 3. Demand S3OO for new clothes, plus upkeep allowance. 4. Be sure full, free recreational facilities are available — golf, tennis, theatres, pool, horseback riding, etc. 5. Scream if you don’t have a free medical and dental plan with unlimited sick leave. Tell your boss-to-be you expect a $l5O per month raise if you get married. 6. Don’t be hassled because you are without experience. Pound the table and let it be known that you expect to learn a skill at his expense with full pay. 7. Insist on the option of quitting after three years to go to college and that you expect him to contribute two-thirds to an educational fund of more than $8000!! The punch line: “If an employer agrees to all of these terms, you’re in the U.S. Army!!” DEAR ABBY: My problem is really more of a question. Which way should a corsage be worn? My mother says you wear flowers just like they grow—with the stems at the bottom, and the flowers on top. If she’s right, almost every girl I’ve seen wearing a corsage has had it on upside down. Is my mother right? D.B. DEAR D. 8.: She’s right. CONFIDENTIAL TO D.W.R.: The only way I know of to double your money is to fold it over once and put it back in your pocket. Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box, No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. His future based on love DETROIT (AP) - A local entrepeneur and a 12-year-old racehorse in diapers have formed a partnership designed to revive romance. “People do fall in love in De troit, don’t they?” asked Law rence Lockhart, a 29-year-old horse dealer from suburban Pontiac, who began hauling rid ers through downtown streets. Helping him is Ted, the dia pered racehorse, who draws the 90-year-old carriage. The Brougham coach sports 3-foot high red wheels and brass kero sene lanterns. After a year of horsing around with the city to get a license, Lockhart already plans to get three more carriages and a stable. He has to keep Ted in a van he drives in from Pontiac each day.

Charles Jo seph Van Depoele, the “father of the trolley car," was a pro lific inventor who filed for over 400 patents, 249 in his own name and many jointly with others. On Aug. 11, 1885, Van De poele was granted a patent for an overhead conductor. Later that year he installed his over head traction system in South Bend, Ind. It was the first prac tical street railway in the United States, according to In tellectual Property Owners, Inc. (IPO), a non-profit group devoted to preserving the pat ent system that encouraged and protected inventors like Van Depoele. In the first year, he installed his system in eight cities. Van Depoele also invented the carbon commutator brush that revolutionized electric mo tors and the under-running trol ley motor for electric railroad cars. _ _ * \ A. k * | .. 1?

Many of the bridges have de teriorated to the extent that only one vehicle can cross at a time. Some school bus drivers make children walk across such bridges to be picked up on the other side, one official said. The state does not have the funds to repair the bridges but the Department of Trans portation is hoping the federal government will help when it realizes the seriousness of the problem, said state programm ing engineer Drew A.
