A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Cyclists Must Carry Lights.
Marshal Stafford is preparing to begin a crusade against the cyclists who persist in riding at night without lamps. Said he, "There is a city ordinance against riding at night without a light and as there has been many complaints about the practice I have determined to enforce it." Cyclists will take warning accordingly as failure to comply with the ordinance will lead to arrests.
Sent to the Industrial School.
Alice Ridge, the 16-year-old girl arrested Thursday night charged with vagrancy, pleaded guilty before Justice T. M. Garland and was committed to the Girls' Industrial school at Chillicothe, Mo., to remain until 21 years of age.
She was not locked up, but remained at the Commercial hotel. Marshal Stafford left last night for Chillicothe with the girl in charge. She accompanied him willingly.
Mornin',
I don’t know what ‘xactly it is, but there is somethin’ that fascinates folks when there is a large quantities of people involved in anything. The crowd at the “Grease” performance Friday night was a fine example.
Somewhere close ta 800 spectators and around a hunderd and fifty in the cast, that is a fair amount of interest in a single operation. Seein’ that many kids, teenagers, and adults on one stage in itself is a worthy activity.
Havin’ ‘em all workin’ to entertain the crowd of friends and relatives had ta be a great achievement for those responsible for the coordination of the effort. From the outpourin’ of gratitude, and the end result, the Hayden Dance Company played a major role in the makin’ of a great community event.
If you were in the mood for bein’ entertained, the City Band also performed an admirable concert in Central Park Sunday.
A sense of community comes from such activities, somethin’ we never get enough of.
This is some fact, but, mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.
The presentation of the musical “Grease” for the McCune Brooks Health Care Foundation last weekend drew a “full house” for all three performances according to Judy Pendegraff, Director of the Foundation. The production included over one hundred fifty dance students of the Hayden Dance Studio of Carthage. The High School Auditorium stage withstood the full scale production, which included a motorcycle ride and a “T” bucket hot rod, without a tremor.
The musical is the first of what is planned to be a number of special events
that will bring community attention to the foundation as well as help raise
funds for the foundation’s work according to Promotion Director Dan Corp.
Corp spoke to a gathering at the Phelps House last Thursday evening that
officially kicked off the weekend activities.
An auction was held at that time in which the original artwork for the local poster, contributed by artist Lowell Davis, was sold for the high bid of $1,500.

It may also work for the establishment and maintenance of real estate developments, clinics, nursing homes, residential care facilities, and other facilities, programs, operations, and enterprises, and utilize any other means, persons, or agencies which shall further their established purpose.
The Foundation’s Articles of Incorporation also state that it will provide financial support to McCune-Brooks Hospital and any real estate developments, clinics, nursing homes, residential care facilities, programs, operations, and enterprises, to further the goals of providing improved health care treatment and service to persons living in and around Carthage, Missouri.

Osteoarthritis and Your Feet
The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis. It affects about half of all arthritis sufferers. When it strikes the feet, it can be particularly distressing. Although there is little soft tissue swelling, joints often become enlarged, stiff and painful.
Anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed for the pain, and certain exercises can relieve some of the pressure by strengthening muscles around the joints. Walking and rolling an empty soft drink bottle under the foot are often useful techniques.
Your doctor may also perform ultrasound or heat treatments. For more advanced, debilitating cases, surgery may be recommended to remove bony particles or replace the joint with an artificial implant.
Don't despair if surgery is recommended for your particular podiatric problem. Although the problems haven't changed much, podiatric care has greatly improved over the past few years. If your feet hurt, see your podiatrist.
