Following the rally, participants visited the offices of legislators seeking their support in what is certain to be a heated battle over the abortion issue. Pro-life advocates, led by Rep. Stephen F. Freind (R-Dela- ware), intend to introduce a legis- lative package next week to regu- late abortion in the state. SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE - Dauphin County Rep. Jeffrey E. Piccola, the Republican chairman of the House Labor Relations Committee, this week introduced legislation to establish health and safety regulations for public em- ployees in Pennsylvania. The pro- posal would implement specific safety and health standards for public-sector workers similar to those now required under federal law in the private workplace. Pic- cola said a Democrat initiative “represents excessive intrusion into the workplace we simply cannot support”. He said his proposal “recognizes the unique nature of the public workplace and is de- signed to be effective without inter- fering with the necessary func- tions of public employees and employers. It will ensure a safer and heatlhier environment for all public employees”. ‘inny.

Alice S. Langry (R-Allegheny) announced this week she has introduced a bill to limit terms of office for state legislators. Her measure proposes a state constitutional change limiting House members to three consecu- tive three-year terms and state senators to two consecutive six- year terms. “Recently-elected offi- cials are in close touch with the voters’ concerns .and bring new | ideas and energy to the office,” Langtry said. She noted fewer elec- tions over the course of a legisla- tor's career would also decrease the cost of campaigning. Gerry Williams, Plymouth.

I've been doing a lot of jogging for the past couple of years, and recently my knees have begun to ache. Have I damaged my knees be- cause of the constant pounding from jogging? Could there be permanent damage? The knee is easily injured by blows and sudden stops and turns because of its lack of protection from surrounding muscles. Both professional athletes and active amateurs are susceptible to knee injuries of varying severity, but many of these conditions can be treated without surgery. The knees, like all joints, can also be affected by DR. ROBERT GREENHALGH PRESENTS The knee - our most vulnerable joint If the ligament is not completely torn, the knee may be packed in ice and wrapped with an elastic bandage. If the muscles supporting the knees are weak, a strenuous running program may cause pain in the knees. Exercises designed to strengthen the muscles can help. If you exercise regularly, the | best way to prevent knee injuries is to include | stretches for flexibility and a proper warm-up for your particular sport. Even swimmers sometimes have knee prob- lems. The breaststroke done with a “whip kick” may stress the knees and cause pain; the older frog kick is less stressful. Competitive swimmers can get “swimmer’s knee” from sprains or strains | followed by too much hard swimming or by an improper swimming stroke. Bursitis is another common knee problem. If the bursae are traumatized or overused, they can become inflamed. Treatment includes the appli- cation of splints, rest or sometimes injections of cortisone. The knee can be affected by many different types of arthritis, and the causes of these condi- tions are varied. You probably don’t have arthri- tis unless your knee pain is chronic. There may be remissions, but as with any joint, if the pain keeps returning, if there is often stiffness in the morning, soreness or swelling that keeps recur- A complex joint, the knee consists of three rounded bone surfaces, 12 bands of fibrous tissue (ligaments), 13 fluid-filled sacs (bursae), and the kneecap (patella). The kneecap bursa is the largest bursa, located between the patella ligament and skin. Inflammation of this bursa causes the painful condition known as “house- maid's knee.” Athletes commonly tear the ligaments of the knee joint. When this happens, there may be any of a number of different symptoms—tenderness when the area is touched, black and blue spots, weakness of the joint, crackling noises, and fluid surrounding the joint. The most serious knee ligament injuries are not visible on x-ray film, HoLipAY PANCAKE HOUSE 111 Route 309, Dallas, PA ¢ 675-8686 ¢ Winter Hours: Sun-Thurs. 7-9, Fri. & Sat. 7-10 Sunday Ail U Can Eat Breakfast Buffet (From 7 am.-1 p.m). ............ $3.95 « NEW SALAD BAR!
