Huntingdon Campaign Fete Shuster Invites Brinegar Friday evening, October 25, Central Pennsylvania will host an unususai political event, according to Cong.

Bud Shuster. Shuster reported: "The Bud Shuster for Congress Committee' will hold our campaign reception and dinner at the Penn Alto in Altoona, on October 25, but it's not going to be the typical 'political event'. "When the committee asked me to get a national political figure as a featured speaker, I chewed on it awhile and came to the conclusion that we can do something much more productive for Central Pennsylvania. We can use the event to promote our area and some of our most important needs. "Accordingly, rather than invite a 'political I have invited the top transportation man in America, U.

S. Secretary of Transportation Claude S. Brinegar, to spend the day with us. "We're going to make the event doubly unusual because instead of simply listening to what the President has to say about transportation, we are going to make a presentation to him on the transportation needs of Central Pennsylvania, including our railroads, highways and airports. "I will be asking several leaders to work closely with me to prepare our presentation.

"Our objective will be to clearly demonstrate to the U. S. Secretary of Transportation that we have the will and capabilities to play a key role in the development of the transportation needs of our nation. "As a member of the Public Works Transportation Subcommittee in Congress, I can be supportive of the Secretary's efforts on Capitol Hill, and we can help each other for the betterment of Central Pennsylvania and America. "I'm very enthused about turning what would be just another political event into something really productive for our area." The reception will begin at 6:30 p.m.

and the dinner will follow at 7:30 p.m. Both will be held at the Penn Alto Hotel. Dinner tickets will be $10 and reception and dinner tickets will be $50 each. Tickets are available through the "Bud Shuster of Congress Committee." Ann Landers Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers; 1 just received a cookbook from our Temple Sisterhood. It had many recipes from the best cooks in town.

My favorite recipe Is enclosed and I hope you will print it. It is called "How to Preserve a Husband." First, use care in selection. Get one that is not too young, but tender and healthy. If you choose one recklessly, it may not keep. Don't put in hot water.

This makes them turn sour. Sweeten with smiles and spice with patience, All varieties will respond. To insure a wonderful consistency, stir beat. And don't leave unattended for long periods of time. To add a delicious flavor, sprinkle generously with praise and appreciation.

The poorest specimen may be improved if you follow these instructions and will keep for an unlimited number of years in any by Yours Truly Dear Truly: I'd like to add one small suggestion: Frequent exposure to cold temperatures has been known to damage this dish permanently. Keep a small, steady flame going at all times. Dear Ann Landers: I am 16 and in need of help. Please. Please.

I babysit and work summers so I can have nice clothes. My sister Louise (age 15) weighs about 10 pounds more than I do. She is a slob. (Spills things on herself, etc.) Every time my back is turned Louise wears something that belongs to me. Last night she ruined my new white blouse by spilling grapejuice all over the front.

Two weeks ago she split my good navy slacks right up the back. When I complain to Mom and Dad they say I shouldn't be selfish, that sisters should share. "It is better to give Hopeful News in Medicine: ling of Your Lester I. AID. Drug May Delay Senility A new drug aimed at delaying senility is being studied at the University of Rochester.

Dr. Richard Schlessinger and his co-workers have created the drug vincamine, which is said to increase the memory and the intellectual capacity of those suffering from vascular diseases of the brain. This condition of ar- teriosclerotic change in the blood vessels of the brain is responsible for the changes in behavior that occur in the elderly. The drug is a chemically created counterpart extracted from the periwinkle plant. At the present time, the studies are being evaluated because of the toxic side effects that are associated with its use.

It is hoped that before long vincamine can be produced in some form that will reduce these side effects. When this occurs, it is expected that the Federal Drug Administration will permit its use everywhere. More and more attention is being paid to the fact that some children and adults cannot tolerate lactose, a sugar found in milk. Digestive disturbances, commonly overlooked, have been traced to this condition. Now, Dr.

W. J. Morrison, at the Johns Hopkins University, is using a special X-ray technique for the diagnosis of lactose intolerance. By adding lactose to the barium that is swallowed prior to X-ray, he and his co-workers have been able to identify more easily this condition in people who cannot tolerate milk. This new method is used in addition to the blood studies now in use.

There is now great interest in a hormone that can promote growth. At the Vanderbilt School of Medicine, the hormone, known as the Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), has the unique capacity to stimulate growth in some types of tissues. At the present time, the hormone is being studied intensively in experimental animals. It holds promise for later translation to humans. OR.

Can you say something that' might help me get some justice around Dear ARE getting a very fottori deal. Your parents should back you up and instruct Louise to keep hef cotton-pickin' hands off your clothes.

If they refuse, I suggest that you buy a pasteboard wardrobe, put a padlock on it and wear the key around your neck. Dear Ann Landers: The other day I was in my parents' bedroom and noticed a column of yours, under the glass top of my mother's nightstand. It was about a father who was trying to be a pal to his son. The kid was using drugs and the didn't know what to do aboutf it. You advised him to tell the kid to "shape up or ship out." That's exactly what my parents told my brother to do.

Well, he shipped out, said he wanted to make it like my father did, on his own. Now he is renting an apartment with a friend and working his way through college. My parents are very proud of him. I learned a valuable lesson from watching my brother. I want nothing to do with drugs.

It makes me sick to see some of my friends going down the drain because they got hooked. I'm glad my folks wrote to you and took your advice. I thought it was about time I said 17 Dear 17: It was good of you to let me know how well things turned out at your house. Now I'LL say thanks. Don't flunk your chemistry test.
