Show HERALD, Provo, Utah, Thursday. April 40-- THE Page 9, 1981 Pund Tombstone to Save SO Womeon lifts home in a few days and is "as happy as ever." Mrs. Sechrist had taken Heather and several other children for a walk during a Bible study meeting at the Trout Run United Methodist Church grounds last Tuesday. "We were sitting down and talking when Heather jumped up," Mrs. Sechrist recalled. "I guess she was TROUT RUN. Pa. (UPI) bara Sechrist says "the grace of God" gave her the strength to lift a tombstone and rescue the "miracle girt" of Trout Run, Pa. The crushing granite headstone broke little Heather Isgate's collarbone, an ankle, a rib and bruised a lung. But her mother, Judy Isgate, said the girl is coming Bar- 500-pou- Dr. Lawrence Lamb Keep Hold Of Good Doc Ml When is it time to switch DEAR DR. LAMB doctors? I am taking six pills daily for high blood pressure. About six years ago, when my blood pressure was 150 over 95, he put me on one pill daily. That was all, for three years. I gained some weight, about 10 pounds, and my pressure increased. Since then he has been steadily changing and increasing my medicine. Now I am taking Apresoline, Lopressor and hydrochlorothia-ride- . to be taking six pills a day either. After my last test, he said my potassium was down, and he's thinking of adding potassium. I remember reading in your column that low potassium could be from medicines draining your system. You had better keep that DEAR READER doctor. It sounds as if he is interested in helping you, so count your blessings. Your story is a good example of what weight gain does to blood pressure. It has been well demonstrated that many people with high blood pressure can decrease the amount of medicine they take if they lose weight. So, if you cut down on calories, maybe you will be able to cut down on - pills. Get rid of every extra pound of fat you possibly can and start a walking program to help improve level. If you smoke, stop. If your physical-activit- y you use coffee, tea or colas, step those habits, too. As discussed in The Health Letter number 15-Your Vital Blood Pressure, which I am sending you, it is important to treat mildly elevated blood pressure. We accept 145 over 90 as normal, but people who have pressure of 115 over 75 are less likely to have strokes, heart attacks and other medical problems. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, envelope for it to me, in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. You are lucky to be taking only six pills. You may be able to avoid taking potassium by including enough fruit and fruit juices in your diet, but try to get rid of those extra pounds. I am an DEAR DR. LAMB girl, and I have a bump under my knee cap. My mother took me to a doctor about it, and he said it's because I'm too active and hit it on something. He said I had to stop being so active. My mother asked if I would ever get better, because even if I kneel down it hurts so bad. The doctor said I would always have the bump but when I stopped growing the bone would harden and it wouldn't hurt anymore. He said all he could do now was to put it in a cast to stop my being so active. My mother didn't think that was a good idea. What do you think? DEAR READER You must be describing Osgood Schlatter's disease that occurs in adolescence. The most accepted view is that it is a minor injury in which the kneecap tendon inserts into the top of the shinbone. This area is not calcified at that age and the strong pull when the knee is straightened induces the injury. That is why the doctor said you should be less active. Some doctors believe in casts. Others just suggest restricting activity, particularly that involving straightening the knee as in knee bends, football, going up stairs. Avoid any knee-ben- d type of activity. Most knees do heal in time, near the end of the growth phase, with the calcification of the bone All of Trout Run with its population of 300, is anticipating Heather's homecoming.

Overwhelming 'Yes' Vote Supports Marcos - An MANILA, Philippines (UPI) overwhelming majority of Filipinos voted "yes" to give President Ferdinand E. Marcos sweeping new powers under a revised constitution, unofficial returns showed. The national plebiscite, marred by five deaths and charges of government election fraud, paves the way for a direct "lection which Marcos set for June 7. term He is expected to win a in the first presidential balloting since six-ye- ar My pressure varies a lot. Whenever it gets over 145 over 90, he's not pleased. Well, I'm not pleased The Rev. James Dawes, pastor of the church in the tiny Lycoming County community, said two paramedics at the scene were unable to lift the tombstone, which he estimated weighed happy, because she hugged a tombstone. I was watching, horrified, as the tombstone fell on her. "All you could see was her eyes. She was looking at me and I kept pushing to get the tombstone off " she said, her voice trembling. "I prayed and prayed and by the grace of God it moved. Heather's a 1969. An estimated 20 million people, all of whom were ordered to vote or face arrest, crowded schools and town halls in sweltering heat for the plebiscite. Partial unofficial returns showed that 89 percent or more of the votes approved granting Marcos new sweeping powers. Complete official returns will be announced Saturday. The Civil Liberties Union of the Philippines said the changes "perpetuate martial law under another name, make dictatorship the constitutional form of government, legalize tyranny, and hand over the nation to foreign interests." Marcos, 63, has ruled for 16 years, eight of them under martial law lifted Jan. 17. Confident of an overwhelming mandate for his rule, Marcos drove to his hometown of Batac in the north to cast his ballot. He announced later that the interim National Assembly will hold a special session beginning April 14 to enact election laws in line with the plebiscite amendments. The modifications, which change the parliamentary charter, pave the way for a presidential election by direct vote within 60 days. Marcos also told reporters the ruling New Society Party will hold a convention on April 20 to select its standard bearer, expected to be Marcos. The amendments call for the election of a president who will have a fixed term of six years with unlimited reelection. He will have the power to dissolve parliament and will be immune from suits for official acts. With the 200,000member armed forces on full alert, voting was generally peaceful except for five deaths that occurred when civilians and military personnel encountered communist guerrillas in southern Philippines.
