Health Tips
BURSITIS
Sometimes it’s “house
maids knee.” Or “police
man’s heel.” or “tennis
elbow.”
By any other name it’s still
bursitis, and it is one of
mankind’s more painful and
disabling ailments.
Bursitis, says the Ameri
can Medical Association,
means inflammation of a
lubricating sac about a joint.
The sac, called a bursa, is
similar to a collapsed balloon
with some fluid inside. It is
located at various places in
the body where joints or
tissues touch and rub, and
without cushioning there
would be friction.
Bursitis can hit at many
points in the body, but most
often occurs in the shoulder,
knee or elbow.
In most cases bursitis
follows unaccustomed strain
or overuse of an extremity.
By taking a little time to
work up to your physical
condition, and especially by
working up the muscles that
you plan to use in any
repetitious motion outside
your normal activity
(strengthening your wrist
and arm before starting to
paint the house, for instance)
you can probably keep clear
of this common and painful
ailment.
If you get bursitis, no one
need suggest that you see a
doctor. The pain is so acute
that you will be the first to
seek relief.
In recent years, science
has learned much about
bursitis, and there is much
your doctor can do to relieve
the pain and promote
healing. One of the main
stays in treatment is a mild
pain killer. Cortisone-type
drugs have been used with
some success. Heat treat
ments also have their place
in bursitis therapy. A
treatment long used in this
painful ailment is complete
rest in bed. Anything that
w ill lessen the chance of the
afflicted joint being moved
w ill ease the pain and speed
healing.
Like any other bearings,
your bursae stay trouble free
much longer if you warm
them up slowly and let them
get fully lubricated before
>ou race the motor.

Prenatal Care
Is Vital To
Mother, Child
So you’re going to have a
baby. If it’s your first, you’ll
probably have more ques
tions now than any other time
in your life. And even if
you've had a baby before,
you’re bound to have a few
new questions. How much
weight should you gain? Why
do you feel so tired? What
should you watch out for
between checkups? What will
happen when you get to the
hospital?
These questions and others
are answered in a publication
from the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare. Prenatal Care tells how
to maintain good general
health during pregnancy,
what to look for between
checkups with your doctor,
and how to handle common
health complaints, such as
nausea, fatigue and back
ache. For your copy of
Prenatal Care, send $1.05 to
the Consumer Information
Center, Dept. 121 E, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
Here are some interesting
facts about pregnancy:
Mothers who smoke have a
greater chance of having a
baby with a low birth weight.
If you do smoke, try to cut
down on the number of
cigarettes.
Varicose veins are an
enlargement of your veins,
usually occuring in the lower
leg. Frequently these vari
cose veins will get smaller
and disappear during the
first few weeks after you
have your baby. Try to avoid
tight clothing. If possible, try
not to stand in one place for a
long period of time. Sit down
and put your feet up
occasionally.
During pregnancy do not
take any drugs or medicines
—not even an aspirin—unless
prescribed by your doctor.
Many drugs can pass through
your body to your baby and
can have a harmful effect.
Between checkups, you
should be aware of first
warning signs of complica
tions. Immediate care from
your doctor can help prevent
serious problems. Some
early warning signs include:
bleeding, no matter how
slight; swelling or puffiness
ol your face or hands and
sudden extreme weight gain;
severe, continuous head
ache; or dimness, blurring of
vision, or flashes of light
before your eyes.
Visit your doctor or health
clinic early! Early and
continuous care helps pre
vent serious illness for both
you and your baby.
Prenatal Care ($1.05) is
one of more than 200 selected
publications listed in the
Consumer Information Cata
log, published quarterly by
the Consumer Information
Center of the General
Services Administration. For
your free copy of the Catalog,

Gardener on Right Track
When He Mulches Plants
ATHENS—AII that pine
straw spread around those
flowers next door wasn’t put
there just to look pretty.
Your neighbor put it there
for more important reasons—
mainly for sustaining the life
of the plant. He’s doing some
thing more gardeners should
be doing. Mulching.
Gerald Smith, horticul
turist with the Cooperative
Extension Service, says some
gardeners don’t realize just
how beneficial mulching is.
Simply by spreading two
or three inches of material,
like pine straw, around the
base of the plants, you can
reduce weed seed germina
tion, prevent crusting of the
soil surface, and moderate
soil temperatures.
“But most importantly,”
says Smith, “mulching re
duces loss of moisture from
the soil.”
Georgia gardeners should
be doing more mulching for
just that reason. Many flow
ers and shrubs in Georgia are
injured because of an uneven
moisture supply. Applying a
mulch from April to October,
when most of the dry periods
occur, will help prevent in
jury.
Mulches are especially ben
eficial to trees and shrubs
recently transplanted, and to
August 9
Is 4-H Day
At Six Flags
The Butts County Exten
sion Service is happy to
announce that August 9th has
been declared 4-H Day at Six
Flags. Millard Daniel, Coun
ty Extension Chairman, and
Patricia Smith, County Ex
tension Agent, invite all
Butts County 4-H’ers to sign
up to attend the fun and
festivities as part of the Butts
County delegation.
It will be necessary for at
least 25 club members to sign
up in order to get a group
rate on tickets. With a group
of 25 or more tickets will cost
only $6.15 each instead of the
regular price of $7.95.
Transportation costs will be
SI.OO per person.
Club members interested
in attending must pay for
their ticket by 5 p.m. on
Monday, July 25th. Either
bring your money by the
basement of the Butts
Courthouse or mail a check
or money order to: Butts

plants under large trees.
Plants with shallow roots that
need a lot of water, like the
azalea, would also benefit
from a mulch.
Other benefits are reducing
soil temperature in summer,
and protecting shallow roots
from cold injury in winter.
Still another plus is you
don’t have to remove and
replace a mulch each year. To
fertilize shrubs, just scatter
fertilizer over the mulch and
water it in.
But don’t get carried away.
Too much mulching can hurt
plants. If the material is six to
twelve inches deep after settl
ing, the plants could suffer
root injury from excessive
soil moisture and poor aera
tion.
Also, Smith says not to use
mulches where the soil tends
to remain wet. This will only
aggravate the condition.
The favorite mulching
material in Georgia is pine
straw. Some others you can
use are sawdust, gravel, fall
leaves, grass clippings, peanut
hulls, wood chips, pecan
shells, peat moss, straw, plas
tic film and pine bark.
For more information on
mulching, ask your county
Extension agent for the
pamphlet, “Mulching Orna
mentals.”
office must know exactly how
many people are planning to

can be purchased.
There will be a 4-H Talent
Contest held during 4-H Day
at Six Flags. Prizes will be
awarded in Cloverleaf, Jun
ior and Senior categories
with boys and girls compet
ing together. Group entries
will be accepted and will
compete in the category of its
oldest performer. Time limit
for all groups or individuals
is five minutes. Any 4-H Club
member interested in parti
cipating is requested to
contact the Extension office
before July 20.
Assuming that at least 25
club members sign up, the
group will leave from the
A&P parking lot in Jackson
at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday,
August 9. The group will
return to the same parking
lot at approximately 7:30
p.m.

Guest to bellboy: “Please

I left my razor in the

minutes later, the young

breath, and reported: “Yes
sir, you’re razor’s in that
bathroom.”
