Create-A-Santa winnersin the 6-8 year category

were Christine Hoyer ofFanwood and Peter Kaneof Scotch Plains.

to fieTiny Tim Night -a great sucess

Once again, theFanwood-Seotch PlainsJaycee-ettes Tiny TimCarol Night was a successdue to the generosity ofthe residents of Fanwoodand Scotch Plains. Eventhough the weather didn'tcooperate on December 11- the festive snow turnedto freezing rain! - manycarol groups bravely sangto raise money for localchildren's medical bills.We greatly appreciate thededication of thesegroups. Donations canstill be made to the TinyTim Fund by sending acheck c/o P.O. Box 181,Fanwood, N.J, 07023. Onbehalf of the children, wethank you.

Our thanks also go tothe Scotch Plains-Fanwood TIMES for theiroutstanding publicity ofthis event.

Thanks again,everyone, and we hope tosee you again next year.

Jaycee-ettesPray for Peace

January 1, 1987 marksthe 20th anniversary of theWorld Day of Prayer forPeace. Along with NewYear's resolutions, if youare not already taking afew minutes each day topray for peace, why notbegin now?

United prayers affectedsafe return to 52 Iranianhostages, recovery fromassassination attempts byPope John Paul II andPresident Reagan. Peaceis possible, too.

Prime peace target I feelis to stop playing futilewar games and to start liv-ing our United States mot-

to: "In God We Trust",boldly putting faith wherethere is fear. Winners sofar of war games are themanufacturers of the toolsof war. Once nuclearwarheads are released, ifany ravens or gulls are lefton earth, these birds willbe the winners, ready topick over any human re-mains after the greatholocaust. Our nationaldebt has skyrocketedbecause of this wastefuluse of our taxes. Why notconcentrate on thepositive, making sure thehungry have food, theunemployed have qualitytraining for our workforce, and the third worldcountries have opportuni-ty to send youth here foreducation to join our ownyoung people in preparingfor a useful, peacefulfuture?

Our war should focusagainst people whosecreed is greed, peoplewhose God may be drugs,drink, money or power.Our war should be againstthose callous individualswho have no respect forlife...those who promoteabortion and violencedirectly or indirectlythrough our TV screens,pictures or printed words.

It is time to move fromapathy to action. Be surethe vote you cast is for so-meone whose recordshows public service notself-service or servingwealthy friends. Our U.S.Constitution 'of the peo-ple, by the people and forthe people' means for youto use your voice or pen toexpress your ideas toPresident Reagan, theSupreme Court members,and federal and state andlocal legislators.

DON'T WAKE UP THE FOLLOWINGMORNING THINKING, "IF ONLY.,.''"Let's have one for the road," "Pour another

round," "Have a drink on me." These phrases atone time or another have been spoken without a se-cond thought. People were not concerned with howmuch a person had drunk, but with having a goodtime. Little thought was given to drinking and thendriving home. Fewer people thought about remainingsober and alert so that they could drive a group safelyto its destination. :

Today, however, those phrases are not as popular.People are still drinking, but many of them are drink-ing less, and when they drink many of them are nolonger driving. Oh, people still like to have a goodtime; but now when a group is out for an evening, so-meone is appointed NOT to drink-a designateddriver. In bars and restaurants, people partyingtogether are beginning to designate one of their ownto handle the transportation chores.

As we approach the Christmas and New Year holi-day period, the New Jersey State Safety Council cau-tions don't place yourself in a situation that you willregret.

Watch what you drink. Serve or ask fornonalcoholic drinks. If others are concerned aboutyou, listen to them and don't drive. By the sametoken, be willing to stop your friends or familymembers from driving if they are in no condition todo so.

Respect the designated driver. If someone is serv-ing as designated driver don't try to convince him todrink. His job is difficult enough as it is. Support thedecision not to drink and drive.

Do everything in your power to be sure that yourown special circle is not diminished by loss or injury.Don't be afraid to show you care, where impaireddriving is concerned,

Report fromWashington

By

Matt Rinaldo/fh District, New Jersey

The rising costs of college education and the at-tractions of a military career are luring an increasingnumber of highly-qualified high school seniors intocompeting for appointments to the military serviceacademies.

National polls indicate the trend is growing as amilitary career gains status in the eyes of many youngpeople. The end of the Vietnam war era also hasrekindled the feeling of many students that they cangain a free education and valuable leadership ex-perience in the best officer training schools in theworld.

Admission records show that as enrollments aredropping off at many colleges, mostly due to the highcosts of a college education, applications for the ser-vice academies are higher than at any time since theend of World War II.

In the most recent four-year period, the number ofapplicants for the U.S. Military Academy at WestPoint has almost doubled. The Naval Academy ex-perienced an increase of almost 5,000 applicants overa four-year period.

This trend is also reflected in this district where thenumber of highly-qualified applicants for WestPoint, Annapolis, the Air Force Academy and theMerchant Marine Academy has increaseddramatically. There is no shortage of high schoolachievers, male and female, in this district who com-pete for these prized scholarships.

As I have done annually since first being elected toCongress in 1972, I will be nominating residents ofthe Congressional district for appointments to theacademy of their choice in 1988. Applicants must livein the 7th district which includes Berkeley Heights,Clark, Cranford, Elizabeth, Fanwood, Garwood,Kenilworth, Mountainside, New Providence, Plain-field, Roselle Park, Scotch Plains, Springfield, Sum-mit, Union, Westfield and Winfield in Union Coun-ty; Millburn and Short Hills in Essex County;Dunellen and Middlesex Borough in MiddlesexCounty; and Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Mar-tinsville, Green Brook, Manville, North Plainfield,Warren and Watchung in Somerset County,

Beside being residents of the district, applicantsmust be U.S. citizens and must have successfullycompleted high school by next July. Additionally,they must be single and have reached their 17th, butnot their 22nd birthday as of July 1 of the enrollmentyear.

After reviewing the applications, I will nominateapproximately 50 candidates for appointment. Thenominations will be forwarded to the respectiveacademies which will make the appointments afterfurther review of the applicants' high schoolacademic records and extracurricular activities.

Even though the competition for appointments iskeen, applicants from New Jersey have been of suchhigh calibre that they have fared exceptionally wellin winning appointments. More importantly, onceaccepted, they have consistently proven their abilityby successfully completing the program and beingcommissioned as officers. The U.S. government willhave spent about 5150,000 on each of the studentsfor class work, mandatory athletics, summer militarytraining and $6,000 in annual pay. While graduatesmust give at least five years to the military service inreturn, most of them choose to make it a career.

District residents interested in being considered forappointment for the 1988-89 school year, beginningin July 1988, should act now. The first step is to writeto me in Washington, letting me know whichacademy you would like to attend.

Applicants seeking appointments through my of-fice will be required to complete a questionnaire andsubmit a transcript of their high school grades, alongwith their jcores on either the Scholastic AptitudeTest (S.A.T.) or the American College Test (A.CT.)To be considered for appointment, candidates mustfile their applications with my Washington Office byNovember 30, 1987. The deadline does not apply tothose applying for admission to the Coast GuardAcademy, where appointments are based solely on anannual nationwide competition. Information onCoast Guard Academy appointments may be obtain-ed by writing to: Director of Admissions, U.S. CoastGuard Academy, New London, Conn., 06320,

Although senior pointguard Felton Jones tookmore of a scoring respon-sibility (8 points) thanusual and briefly ralliedSPF back from a 14-pointthird quarter deficit, theother Raiders had tostruggle for all their shotsand only made one fieldgoal in the second quarter,after which they trailed30-21,

The Campers defendedaggressively and physical-ly, giving SPF 32 oppor-tunities at the foul line(they made 18), Once Irv-ington settled down itsfrenzied early pace anddistributed its shotsamong someone otherthan guard Robert George(19 points), whodominated the offenseearly, the Campers hadcomplete command.

Any bright spots pro-vided by Scotch Plainscame from the sound playof Jones and some im-pressive offensive reboun-ding by junior guard Bren-dan O'Shea, who had 11boards.

But what had tofrustrate coach BruceCobleigh the most was thenature of many of themissed shots. Many of theRaiders' 43 misses camefrom very close range,often negating some wellearned offensive re-bounds,

After more than 30years of producing films,Dr. Jerome L. Fechtner,of Fanwood, has recentlyincorporated his hobby in-to his practice.

The concept of usingvideo cassettes in the of.fice developed from a loveof producing films onnature that started whenhe was in his late 20s.While caring for a patient.Dr. Fechtner videotapesthe patient's treatment.

The videoeamera uses amagnifying lens and amonitor suspended fromthe ceiling allows the pa-tient to get a visualperspective of the actualwork Dr, Fechtner is do-ing. Following an explana-tion of the treatment andthe necessary follow-uptreatment plans, the pa-tient is given the tape toview at home.

Dr. Fechtner saidvideotaping is a powerfulteaching and motivationaltool.

"First of all, many pa-tients are frightened in thedental office and don'treally hear what the den-tist is saying or don't quiteunderstand what the den-tist has said. The take-home video permits timeto hear and understandthe treatment.

"Secondly, the videoeducates the patient tomake an intelligent deci-sion; thirdly, retaining avideo in the patients'records is a good methodto halt malpractice pro-blems; and lastly and mostimportantly, the patientslove it," he said.

Dr. Fechtner also has

Dr. Fechtner incorporates hobby into dental practicevideotaped and has on fileevery dental procedurehe's done for the patient'seducation. "After an ex-amination, I let the patientgo into a viewing room tosee a videotape on the pro-cedure," he said. "Thismethod relaxes the patientand helps rid him or her ofany phobias about thedental treatment."

Dr. Fechtner began hishobby while studying to

become a dentist at theUniversity of Michigan,He said during the sum-mer months he worked asa Boy Scout campcounselor, leading hikingexpeditions through theAppalachian mountains.His interest in the out-doors heightened and hewas later named museumdirector for the BoyScouts.

Pediatric Nurses from throughout New Jersey metrecently at the Robert Wood Johnson UniversityHospital in New Brunswick for the Lois FrancoPollack Memorial Symposium on chronic illness inchildren, Senator Donald DiFrancesco (R.Union/Essex), sponsor of a bill to provide aCatastrophic Illness Fund, was on hand to addressthe problems that families with chronically illchildren have in financing their long-term care.

"4,000 children in New Jersey alone suffer fromchronic ilness...We have a social responsibility toprovide for those whose insurance does not covertheir care," said DiFrancesco. "The need to relievethe financial burden on the families of these childrenmust be recognized."

Pictured with Senator DiFrancesco are (center) Dr.Marguerite Schlag, R.N. Director of Nursing Educa-tion, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital,and (right) Ms. Suzanne Kiniry, R.N., ClinicalSpecialist, Pediatrics and Coodinator of the LoisFranco Pollack Memorial Symposium.

LOWiRINQ THi COST OF CONTROLLING HIGH BLOOD PRiSSURE

Research has come up withsome good news for the ap-proximately 68 million Amer-icans with high blood pres-sure. Studies have found oneof the oldest and least expen-sive methods of controllingthe condition is also one of thebeat—and most popular withpatients.

Nine out of ten hyperten-sive people surveyed reportedthey are "very pleased" withthe treatment their doctorsare giving them and believethe medicine they're gettingis "very effective."

Fewer than one in 20 re-ported side effects from thedrugs as "very much" of aproblem. Fully 80 percent

said they had no problemwhatsoever with side effects.

The most commonly pre-scribed diuretic, Byazide, hasbeen around for 21 years.Most people prescribed it take

it once a day and find it lessexpensive than taking ageneric diuretic plus a potas-sium supplement. BecauseDyazide doesn't drain thebody of potassium, the sup-plement's unnecessary.

According to Dr. Mark Paulyof the Leonard Davis Insti-tute of Health Economies atthe Wharton School, newerblood pressure drugs are muchmore expensive but not neces-sarily better.
