Paper plates for a holiday dinner
Sapulpa (Okla.) Herald, Monday, January 31, 1994—PAGE THREE
ngm> with your answer. (“Holiday
Visttor and her husband went to
visit their daughter for Thanksgiv-
mg, and the mother was terribly
upset to find the table set with
paper plates and paper napkins,
knowing that her daughter had
plenty of fine china and lovely sil-
verware.)
... sa,d sl,e thought it was
tacky — and you said, "... the epit-
ome of tackiness is criticizing the
hostess who fed you.”
Abby, my husband and I went to
our married son’s home for Thanks-
giving dinner, and 1 nearly had a
heart attack when I saw the table
set with paper plates, no tablecloth,
and the food served in plastic bowls!
They are quite well-to-do, have a
nice set of china, an electric dish-
washer, and a 17-year-old daughter
to help.
I say, if people want to eat from
paper plates, they should have a
picnic.
BEEN THERE
DEAR BEEN THERE: Here’s
a letter from another “mom”
with a different view of using
paper plates for a holiday dinner:
DEAR ABBY: In response to the
mother who was aghast that her
Dear Abby
daughter served Thanksgiving din-
ner on paper plates:
Oh, that we had nothing more
serious to worry about than the
kind of plates we ate from!
Our family of 14 married chil-
dren and grandchildren were home
with us for nine days at Christmas.
Not only were paper plates used, we
had plastic forks, spoons and serv-
ing bowls.
After everyone had finished eat-
ing, my son-in-law went around the
table with a large plastic trash bag,
and everyone tossed the paper
plates and plastic “silverware” in
the trash bag.
I am sure that everyone there
wondered if that would be their last
Christmas dinner with the entire
family.
1 have had two mastectomies in
the last six months, and only God
knows what’s next. People should
pay attention to the things that are
really important in life, and count
their blessings. *. ,
MOM IN MURRAYSV1LLE} PA.
DEAR MOM: Thanks for a
gentle reminder. We can all uM
it from time to time.
* * *
DEAR ABBY: Maybe you can
settle this between me and my
fiance. He proposed to me, and I
accepted. Then he gave me the
same engagement ring he had given
to another girl. She had returned it
after their engagement was broken
two years ago. I didn’t know him
then, and I would not have known it
was a secondhand ring if he hadn’t
told me.
Abby, I feel funny wearing that
ring, knowing its history. His whole
family knows, and I’m too embar-
rassed to tell anyone.
It’s a beautiful one-carat dia-
mond in a platinum setting. What is
your advice? I really love him, but
this bothers me.
FEELING HURT
IN BRIDGEPORT, CONN.
DEAR FEELING HURT: Tell
your fiance exactly what you
have told me. Then, suggest that
he take the ring to the jeweler
from whom he bought it and
ask that the diamond be used in
an entirely different setting.

Unlocking the puzzle of Kawasaki
. i'Sti ys
By DR. DELORES DANILOWICZ
New York University School
of Medicine
About 6,000 cases of Kawasaki
syndrome, a leading cause of
acquired heart disease in children, are
reported in the United States each
year.
Results of a recent study may be a
significant first step in uncovering
causes and improving treatment for
children affected by the disease.
The syndrome occurs most often in
children under the age of 5 years, and
can result in artery damage, inflam-
mation of heart vessels that can lead
to heart damage or in rare cases,
death from heart disease.
Kawasaki syndrome is diagnosed
when four of six specific symptoms
are present, with no other evidence of
an infection.
These symptoms include fever for
at least five days with no apparent
infection, cracking of the lips, redness
around the tongue and mouth and in
the eyes, rashes, swollen neck glands
and skin shedding around the nails
and genital areas.
The underlying cause of Kawasaki
syndrome is currently unclear and
there are no tests that identify it as a
definite viral or bacterial-based
infection.
Doctors now treat most children
with Kawasaki syndrome with
intravenous gamma globulin. This
immune substance quickly reduces
fevers, eliminates most symptoms
and appears to decrease the incidence
of heart damage.
It is possible that Kawasaki
syndrome could behave like rheuma-
tic fever. Children may acquire the
symptoms, become ill and seem to be
restored to health, only to have coron-
ary artery abnormalities discovered
later in life.
Finding the cause and improving
treatment of the syndrome could help
eliminate the potential for heart
damage.
A study published in the British
medical journal, Lancet, may help in
this effort. The study links the
syndrome to two previously unknown
strains of staphylococcus and strepto-
coccus bacteria.
In the study, a toxin secreted by
two previously unknown strains of
staphylococcus and streptococcus
bacteria was detected in 13 of 16
patients with Kawasaki syndrome.
Strains of staph and strep bacteria
arc known to cause common child-
hood infections such as earaches or
strep throats.
But the strains of staph and strep
bacteria indicated in Kawasaki
syndrome do not produce toxins simi-
lar to those that result in common
childhood fevers and infections.
Town is comfortable for Doctor
By JAN EVANS
Herald Staff Writer
Living in a comfortable and small
community is the life that Dr. Dennis
Morris wanted for himself and his
family, when he moved here in 1975,
from Kansas.
“I grew up in a small town named
Augusta, which was near Kansas
City,” Morris said, “and my wife and
I didn’t want to raise our children in a
big city. So, my friend and partner,
now, Dr. Higgs invited us to visit
with him here in Sapulpa and
persuaded us to move here. The town
felt comfortable and the community
Was open and friendly.”
Morris and Larry Higgs got

acquainted and became friends in
1967, while attending optometry
school. They both went into the U. S.
Ajmy together where Morris served
a^a captain from 1971 to 1973.
He married his high school
sweetheart Pat in 1968. She is
currently the T.A.P.S. president for
Woodlawn Elementary.
\ Morris has been very active in the
community since 1980. He has been
vice president of the Sapulpa Jaycees
and president of the Sapulpa Cham-
ber of Commerce, the Sapulpa
Rotary, and S.H.A.R.E. Homes. He is
still a member and an elected board
member of the Rotary.
He still supports and participates in
the former S.H.A.R.E. Homes’
services which are now carried out by
other organizations. He has also
worked with the area United Way.
His volunteer work consists of
helping youths in the community. He
has served four years as chairperson
for the Sapulpa Rotary Junior Olymp-
ics and continues to work with fourth
and fifth graders in track. He has also
coached little league baseball and
basketball.
Morris has been a member of the
Christ the Redeemer Lutheran
Church in Tulsa for 19 years. He has
been a past president of the church
board of directors and assistant trea-
surer of the board.
His daughter Amy, 22, is a 1990
graduate of Sapupla High School and
a University of Oklahoma Senior,
while son Blake, 10, is a fourth-
grader at Woodlawn Elementary
School.
Morris, along with three other local
optometrists, will be participating in
Vision U.S.A. in March, which
provides free eye examinations and
low-cost eyewear to low-income
working people and their families. He
