For example, some in- dividuals may be able to avoid the intake of certain foods or beverages, change in routine, fasting, over- exertion, bright sunlight or glaring lights or certain noises, if one or some of the above are discovered to be trigger mechanisms for a migraine. Not all triggers are avoidable; weather changes, for instance; but being aware of the problem allows the person to take ap- propriate steps that may ease the intensity or lessen the duration of attacks. Advice to parents of children with migraine seems to be remain calm, understanding and sym- pathetic, and the message to adult migraine sufferers ,seems to, be "you` not alone." inflation, and I'm sure our wages would have caused her to reachfor the smelling salts, too. She would have loved the luxury of the modern sewing Machine, though, Imagine something that is more like programming a computer than operating a sewing machine, Like all the rest of us, Grandma would cer- tainly have needed lessons in running the new machines. "A steady stream of women made their way in and out of Hopper-Hockey Furniture last Thursday as Lorrie Clark of Husqvarna demonstrated what the top approve model of their latest machine could do. Many of the ladies were already Rusqvarna owners who wanted to know how to operate their machines, while others were simply interested seamstresses. This machine could make 36 different stitches, by inserting cylinders called programmers into it. There are eight different programs available. Fancy edges, monograms and neat hems can be provided if you know what program to use, To the uninitiated, it may have sounded. like Ms, Clark was speaking a foreign language. Words like feed dogs, pressure and tensions were all all part of her vocabulary. The machine on which Ms. Clark demonstrated had Many feattlieS that would have amazed and pleased Grandma. With the flick of a switch, you could have the .needie stay up or down every time you finish sewing. In most cases, it would beset in the up position so that each time you finish a seam, the needle is raised to that there is no chance of bending it when you remove the material. But if you're sewing something, with corners and you. want to "pivot" around them, you could leave the needle in the down position. The machine also has a low gear, which enables you to sew through heavy leather. Ms. Clark showed how the machine could sew through 16 thicknesses of denim. She even folded a piece of denim and sewed through it on top of the big wad, to show how easily it moves over seams in jeans. Ms. Clark demonstrated how to do neat little scalloped fldgea on fine sheer fabric which could be used in the making of negligees or lingerie. She showed many fancy, embroidery-type stitches which could be used to trim children's clothing. She also demonstrated how simple monogramming and writing is, Buttonholes were com- pleted in seconds withoUt Ms. Clark even using her hands. The machine worked as if it had a mind of its own, after a few buttons were pressed and switches pushed. About 65 ladies watched the demonstration during the afternoon and evening.
