Post Cookbook The light yellow house next to the former Singer Plant on Hill- side Rogay. Trucksville, is the home Saraka and their family of five children. Formerly the home of Joe's parents, Joe and Ellen moved there about two years ago and with the help of their children have been remodelling from the outside in. Just recently they finished the kitchen in Early American decor. The former Ellen Trihub of Minot, N. D., Mrs. Saraka met Joe while he was serving with the military service near her home. They were married in 1955 and after Joe completed his tour of duty, the Sarakas re- turned to the Back Mountain area with their oldest son, Eugene, now a student in llth grade at West Side Vo-Tech High School. _ Ellen is happy living in this part of the country where she finds the winters much milder than ‘back home”’, but she does miss the snow of the Dakotas. She has made many friends in the Back Mountain, many of them members of the same bowling league, the Bowler- ettes, at Crown Imperial Lanes, Dallas. High od Pressure Potent Stroke Cause Hypertension, high blood potent cause of stroke, and more than two million people in Pennsylvania may be suffering from hypertension. The Framingham Study, con- ducted in Massachusetts for the past 18 years in an attempt to develop: a profile of the stroke prone - individual, has found hypertension to be the single most potent contributor to the rise of stroke. As blood pressure rises, so does the risk of stroke. And unlike heart disease, the risk is the same for both men and women. 4 . Other factors also contribute to nig) of stroke, such as cigarett€ smoking and high cho- lestral levels. And when these factorsigre present in a person with H®®ertension, the risk of stroke is even higher, some- times as much as 600 percent higher. The study has shown that more than half the cases of stroke occurred among the ten percent of the population that has these high risk factors. What the - study has also ‘shown though, is that those persons with the greatest risk of stroke can be identified before- hand and the risk reduced. This is especially true of those af- flicted with hypertension. Of the two million persons in Pennsylvania estimated to suffer fzom hypertension, half probai#@idon’t even know they “have it. Mildly high blood pres- sure may not show symptoms right away which means per- iodic examinations to check for the condition are necessary. Planning menus requires a lot of ingenuity and ability when it comes to satisfying the hearty appetites of her husband and five children. But, since cooking has always been a special love of Ellen’s, she finds it fairly easy to rise to the challenge. Ellen and Joe always have a garden large enough to provide vegetables in season and enough left over to can for win- ter months. Eugene, Cheryl, a sophomore at West Side Tech; Debbie, in eighth grade at Dal- las Junior High; Joe, a fifth grade student at Dallas Inter- mediate; and Karen, entering kindergarten this year, all do their share in the garden. Pre- sently, Ellen is busy canning beans and cucumbers and with- in a week or so will start doing tomatoes and corn. In addition to cooking and bowling, Ellen does a lot of sew- ing. She is interested in antiques and is always on the alert for items which will be suitable for their home. / A member of Glenview Pri- mitive Methodist Church, she is also a substitute Sunday School teacher. She is a member of both the Trucksville Fire Auxil- iary and the Kingston Township Ambulance Association. "Ellen has not returned home to visit her family for about 10 years, but the Sarakas are plan- ning to visit Minot next sum- mer. This being the season when many families in the area are reaping the harvest of their gar- dens, large or small, Ellen has offered to share some canning recipes and a few family favor- ites with Post readers.

Today’s ‘‘over-sixty’’ in- dividuals can look forward not only to retirement but also to retaining their individuality through attractive dress and personal appearance. You can enjoy color and fashion as much in your later years as you did at age 20, says Ruth Ann Wilson, extension elothing specialist at The Pennsylvania State Univer- sity. Clothing tastes and needs constantly change as people mature. But how they change depends on life style, physical condition and all the other per- sonal characteristics that ac- company each stage of life. Mrs. Wilson points out that it is - impossible to describe a “typical’’ elderly person, but there are some physiological changes that create common characteristics in individuals as As muscles lose their tone and strength, the upper arms tend to lines and abdominal curves become more evident. Such factors, plus a re-distribution of weight can increase the prob-. Jem of finding ready to wear that fits comfortably and looks attractive. 3 Personal color changes are also evident. In addition, pigmentation of the hair and skin becomes less intense; skin" wrinkles develop and deepen; and hair becomes thinner. Such changes may also mean that some colors worn in the past no longer look attractive. Many people find that they can attractively wear colors in their older years that they: couldn’t wear when they were younger. In addition, says Mrs. Wilson, cosmetics, wigs and hairpieces may help many older people achieve the special in- dividual look they want.
