prayer meeting, 7 p.m. 5 I By JOHN M. LEIGHTY UPI Feature Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) An exercise regimen is helping thousands of people relieve the pain and stiffness caused by arthritis, Americas No. 1 crippling disease. Developed seven years ago as part of a national health research project, the program is now used by Arthritis Foundation chapters in 70 cities across the country.

We teach the principles of exer- cise and let people design their own program," said Kate Lorig, director of education at the Stanford Arthritis Center where the regimen was developed. Components of the self-help course First aid course is set A multimedia first aid course is being offered by the Crawford County Chapter of the American Red Cross Tuesday, June 24 and Thurs- June 26 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. At the Chapter House at 212 N. Walnut St. This course may be taken by persons age 13 or have completed the seventh gradeor older.

This course is required for those who wish to help with first aid stations at the Crawford County fair and Bratwurst Festival this summer. Others who may find the course useful are businesses, industries, labor organizations, government agencies, professional groups, school teachers, policemen, highway maintenance crews, clubs, athletic groups, Boy and Girl Scout leaders. In a multimedia first aid course first aid skills are presented in brief filmed demonstrations and self-, teaching workbooks. Practice sessions for trainees are under the supervision of a certified Red Cross volunteer instructor and immediately follow the filmed demonstrations. Students are tested on the subject matter learned from the filmed demontrations, practice sessions and workbook.

Certificates are issued by the Red Cross to persons who successfully complete this course of instruction. The only charge is $9 to cover the cost of the workbook and materials. Scholarships are available if the person is unable to pay all or only part cf tv2 cort. To register for the course which is a must, persons can call the Red Cross office at 552-HELP (4357) or stop in at the office. Parsons Point by Rev.

J. Malcolm Brook Lord our God, how excellent is your name in all the earth. There are many things in life and in the Christian faith that none of us can adequately understand. Im reminded of a quote which says, birds do not sing because they have an answer. They sing because they have a song.

We do not understand how the God of creation could empty himself and become the Babe of Bethlehem. Nor, how a crude cross erected by Roman soldiers on the top of a hill outside Jerusalem 2,000 years ago could save the world from sin. And, we do not understand how the God of billions of galaxies could hear and answer the prayers of a small child kneeling beside his bed in a tiny home in the most remote part of the earth. We love and serve God, not because we have all the answers, but because we have a song. A song within our hsnrts bscsuso srs cf part of what God is doing in the world today.

We live hi a world of mystery as well as revelation. Christ has made known unto us the mysteries that have teen hidden from other generations. He has made it possible for us to take upon ourselves that excellence. include relaxation techniques, nutrition, proper use of medication and protection of inflamed joints. Until recently people with arthritis were afraid to exercise because they thought it would wear out their joints, said Lorig.

Now we know the reverse is true. In fact, studies have found that the pain of arthritis, a primary complaint among patients, is reduced by 12 to 25 percent in individuals who take part in the exercise course. The interesting thing we're finding is that its not so much the exercise or the relaxation techniques that reduces the pain but the psychological effects of people gaining a feeling of control over their lives, Lorig reported. They can set goals and accomplish things they didnt know they could accomplish. In one case, a patient was unable to visit her new grandchild because she could not walk up a stairway of 17 steps.

The woman set a program of gradual climbing and after the i sixth month was able to go up the stairs. The end result was getting to see her grandchild on Easter, said Lorig. Three types of exercises -developed for arthritis patients are outlined in a step-by-step manual, Arthritis Help Book (Addison- Wesley, Reading, 86.00). A revised and version of the manual will be published in August and is available through Arthritis Foiindation chapters. The first exercise is to move the affected joints through their range of motions.

This keeps the joints from losing their functions, Lorig 1 said. If you dont move your shoulders I they will lose their mobility, the same with fingers, said Lorig. All you really have to do is move every joint through the range of motion its I supposed to move through two or three times a day." I The second exercise involves mus- cle strengthening to help the joints become more stable. This consists of light isometrics in which the patient contracts each muscle for six-seconds without moving the joint, -j You can maintain muscle strength doing this six times a day, said Lorig. It doesnt take a huge amount of time cr effort.

The third step is performing an en-: durance exercise for about a half-: hour each day. Walking, swimming bicycling are Wc want pcoplew tUnkuf wuat they can do comfortably and do it three to four times a week, she said. Women dont do well in state races 7 WASHINGTON (UPI) Ohioans do well in electing women to local and national offices, but do worse than other states in the number of females elected to state offices, a Rutgers University study says. A national survey by the Center for the American Woman and Politics found Ohio ranked 10th among the 50 states in women in local offices, with 16.5 percent of the mayors and council members being female. The top three states in electing women to local offices are Michigan (27.5 percent), Alaska (23.1 percent) and Oregon (22.2 percent).

The na-, tional average is 14.3 percent. 7 Nationally, only 14 women are members of the House, with two of them Mary Rose Oakar and Ma r-cy Kaptur from Ohio. Ohio ranked poorly in other categories, however: 38th in number of women in the state legislature (9.1 percent) and 32nd in women on coun- ty governing boards (6.8 percent). National averages in those two' categories were 14.8 percent for state legislatures and 8 percent for county bodies. In 44 states where figures were available for 1S35, women held 14, 672; elected offices, or 14.3 percent.

It marked a big increase over 1375, when less than 5 percent of the offices were held by women. Katherine E. Kleeman, coor- dinator of the study, said the progress made by women has been slow, but steady. A decade ago, women held less than 10 percent of municipal offices in virtually every state, she 7 1 New Washington Roger K. Miller, pastor Sunday school, 9 a.m.

After a hard year of work and school it felt strange to be free of the ties that bind to house and home. The strange feeling had led to some small arguments as they loaded up the car and last minute runs into the house began to tangle anxious nerves.

Trying to get as many miles behind them as they could on the first day, the family pulled into a restaurant at about eight in the evening. The kids had been drinking soda pop all day from the cooler in the trunk and were hyper and hungry. Dads nerves were frazzled after being stuck in between three semi trucks on the interstate. Mom was upset that Dad had passed another restaurant hours before but wouldnt The menu had high prices and left an uneasy feeling of food costs for the days to come. The youngest boy had gotten his fingers slammed in the car door and was fussing with his sister who had been told to turn off her boom-box.

Mom worried that another 13 days of this unrest would be no vacation for her. Hurry up, lets get to a motel, she said. They drove and drove past numbers of No Vacancy signs until it was almost 11 oclock. Mom was giving Dad the dickens about not having prior reservations and Dad was defending himself, saying, he didnt know how far they would get the first day. The kids were whining.

They saw a sign, Rip Van Winkle Motel. Ill stop here; there is a vacancy sign, said Dad. Upon entering the parking lot it was easy to tell that the Rip Van Winkle wasnt much of a motel. The small brick row of rooms that faced the parking lot looked unkept. A man in a white tank top who obviously hadnt shaved for days was at the desk.

Ashes fell from his cigar as he told Dad he had a room with two beds and a good shower for 837.50. Dad rushed to tell Mom. She wasnt pni the eperstlon of tc ui i.u4uc hur stup a rtuuil she would be sorry for later. Dad -sank; he had done the best he could and it wasnt enough. The room wasnt too clean and there was an air of stale smoke that lingered in the heat of the night.

The room clerk was right, there was a good shower. Mom and the kids went fast to sleep. They were exhausted from 530 miles of haggling in the car. Dad sat on the edge of the bed fidgiting and nervous because he had let his family down on the first day of vacation. He tugged at the nightstand drawer for a place to put his billfold.

Upon opening the drawer he found a Bible put there by the Gideons. He pulled out the book and began to read. Why does this Christian family act like heathens? he thought. Turning the pages, he came to Mark 3:17 where the disciples called James and John the Sons of thunder. They described their tempers of vehemence.

We become like that which we imitate, he thought as he read. People pattern themselves after other strong leaders like they see on tv. And then it came to him from those old pages of Gods Word: To be called sons and daughters of God means that our lives remind us of Gods qualities. We must try to pattern our lives after God alone. Jesus called Judas son of perdition (John 17:12) showing the qualities of lostness prominent in Judas.

We often have rejected the image of God as an almost tribal attitude emerges in times of anxiety and discomfort. The next morning Mom was up early snorting, Weve got to get cut of this place. Actually, all had a good nights sleep and the good shower felt great Dad called the family to prayer at breakfast in a McDonald down the road. We should practice to be like Him whom Jesus knew as Father, he said. The kids picked up on it right away and Mom realized that the verse from Murk was a communication of God to the family to love each other as our heavenly Father loves us.
