The word migraine comes from the technical name hemicrania which translated means half- a-head. This is because in so many people the pain begins in the center of the forehead or over one eye. It most commonly remains in the front of the head. Other features common to migraines are flashing pattern's or spots in vision just be- fore the headache, followed by nausea and diz- ziness. More than twice as many women as men. have migraines. A migraine cannot be treated like a com- mon headache with aspirin. It requires a differ- ent type of drug entirely and only a physician can determine how any one person should be treated.

Membership!!! Going great, Comrades, just a few more to go — come on now, break loose with that nine bucks and get in the groove with a swingingest outfit in town where you are a stranger only once. To be exact, to date we have only 27 non-renewals for '72 — Are you one? Why not come in and make it 26-25-24-23 0. And that's 30 for this week. Remember — Whether a person smokes cigarettes or not, if he lives long enough he will die of something or other! The shape of things to come. Prediction: The Volkswagen Beetle will be around for years to come. Prediction: Someone else somewhere will in- troduce a new economy car and there will be lots of excitement. Prediction: The excitement will die down. Prediction: As in the past, people who own old Volkswagens will trade them in for new Volkswagens because (we guess) they like Volkswagens. Prediction: Our engineers will continue to improve the way the Volkswagen works and our stylists will continue to be frustrated. Prediction: Sometime in 1972, the Beetle will become the most popular single model automobile ever made, by- passing the Model T Ford with pro- duction of over 15 million vehicles. Prediction: We won't let that last pre- diction go to our heads. Don Taylor Motors Limited MAIN ST. SOUTH EXETER 235-1100
