Mary Taylor

Staff Correspondent
Mary Taylor likes recipes which
are easy to prepare, different and
low in calories. She also enjoys
creating unusual recipes and is
always ready to experiment with
something original.
This probably comes naturally to
Mary for she is just as creative
when it comes to hair fashions for
her clients in her hair and skin care
centers. For Mary is the owner of
three Mary Taylor Hair and Skin
Care Centers in the local area.
A resident of Kingston Township,
Mary opened her first salon on Lake
Street in Dallas. Not too long after
that, due to the many requests she
received from residents of Kingston
Township and the surrounding area
Mary opened a second salon at
Hickory Corners, Carverton Road,
Trucksville. Today Mary and her
husband, Philip, are the owners of
the Hickory Corners Shoppes in
which are located Melba's Fashion
Nook and Hickory Corners Ice
Cream. Until recently, a furniture
store also was located in one of the
shops.
Mary's third salon is in Kingston
where she can be found every
Thursday from early morning until
the doors close at night. Tuesday
through Saturday, she usually
spends at least 12 hours in one of
her salons
Not only does Mary Taylor style
many of her clients hair but she
also does beauty consultations and
has done the makeup for countless
bridal and fashion shows throughout
this and other areas.
An iastructor as well, she has
taught many classes in cosmetology
and skin care, taken advanced
courses in hair coloring and has
developed techniques that are
entirely original. As there are art-
ists who work with oils or water
colors, Mary is an artist who works
with hair fashions. Nothing is ever
too difficult for her to attempt and
the result is always the same —

beautiful in design and perfect for
the individual.
In addition to training and super-
vising 10 or 12 employees, Mary
also is active in the West Side
Business & Professional Woman's
Club where she recently was elected
vice president. Her hours of work as
a volunteer, specially with geriatric
patients and with teenagers, are
difficult to count because she
seldom talks about it.
Her days and weeks revolve
around a busy schedule so she
particularly enjoys these easy to
prepare, but equally delicious reci-
pes she shares with Post readers

If you are among the one-half million Pennsylvani-
ans who have diabetes, or if someone close to you has
the disease, you should be aware that diabetes can
affect the eyes.
Diabetes may cause several eye problems including
refractive changes requiring a new eye glass prescrip-
tion, cataracts and a type of glaucoma, but the most
frequent and important cause of visual impairment in
diabetics is diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy
is now the leading cause of new cases of blindness and
the leading cause of visual disability in persons
between the ages of 25 and 65, according to Charles J.
Rife, M.D., consulting opthalmologist for the Pennsyl-
vania Association for the Blind.
Diabetic retinopathy is the deterioration of the small
blood vessels that nourish the retina, the light
sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the back of the
eye.
Diabetic retinopathy usually causes no symptoms in
its early stages, and therefore, diabetics are not aware
of the pending danger to their eyesight. For this
reason the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind
urges diabetics to have their eyes examined by an
opthalmologist, a physician who specializes in the
medical and surgical care of the eyes, as soon as
diabetes has been diagnosed and as often, thereafter,
as recommended by the opthalmologist. Annual eye
who have had diabetes for more than five years.
Diabetic retinopathy begins as a mild condition
known as ‘background’ retinopathy. At this stage, teh
retianl blood vessels may become enlarged in places,
ballooning outward and leaking fluid into the central
part of the retina, causing blurring of central vision.
In about 80 percent of diabetic retinopathy cases,
vision is not seriously affected and the disorder never
progresses beyond the ‘background’ stage.
Unfortunately, diabetic retinopathy can progress to
the more advanced ‘proliferative’ stage in which
abnormal new blood vessels sprout and grow along the
surface of the retina. These new blood vessels are
fragile and may rupture and bleed into the center of
the eye, interfering with the passage of light of the
i

the retina, may contract and detach the retina from
the back of the eye. In either case, severe visual loss,
even permanent blindness, may result.
Advances in eye care have been made and continue
to be made. As a result, the visual complication of
diabetes can be substantially reduced.
One one of the new treatments currently being used
to treat diabetic retinopathy is photocoagulation.
During this surgical procedure, intense, precisely-
aimed beams of light from a laser are used to seal off
leaking retinal blood vessels: and destroy diseased
retinal tissue.
Photocoagulation shows real promise for diabetic
retinopathy treatment, however, it is not appropriate
for everyone. Despite photocoagulation, many diabetic
retinpathy patients have gone blind from massive
bleeding inside the eye. Now, opthalmologists can
remove the blood and scar tissue from the center of
the eye with special surgical instruments. This proce-
dure is known as vitrectomy.
Following vitrectomy, patients often see well enough
to move around on their own. Occasionally, vision in
the operated eye recovers enough for reading or
driving.
If you have diabetes, you are probably under the
care of a physician who will refer you to an
opthalmologist for regular eye examinations. In addi-
tion, listings of local opthalmologists can be found in
the yellow pages of the local telephone directory or by
calling the Association for the Blind at (717) 823-1161.
The Pennsylvania Association for the Blind offers a
free booklet called ‘Diabetes and Your Eyes" for
persons wanting to learn more about diabetic retinopa-
thy.
The Pennsylvania Association for the Blind is a
prviate, nonprofit, charitable organization founded
upon two basic precepts: the support and promotion of
the interests of the blind and the prevention of
blindness. Programs and services conducted by the
Pennsylvania Association for the ‘Blind are available
to all eligible individuals without regard to race, color,
religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age, sex or
handicap. :
