On September 5th the Super

"Chapel in the Gym" for fellowship
while drinking coffee and punch.
The four long tables brought forth

ors, black and gold, centered the
tables with candy and gum and
football boys and a real football.
Dorothy Perkins and Mary Bell

chestnuts which were scattered on
each table for everyone to take as
many as desired.
At 11 a.m. Bro. Bill Morgan, pro-

Our Lives," followed by "Heavenly

Better Every Day," and "Spirit of
the Living Lord." Jo, his wife accom-
panied on the piano.
Hubert Davis welcomed the 72
members and friends. He consid-
ered several people not visitors, but
real friends.

September birthday people, and
those attending stood as the "Happy
Birthday" song was sung to them.
Then she recognized the September
anniversary people and three at-
tending couples stood as their spe-

All Around Alto...and more
By Betty Rardin
It's not too late to write about the
Labor Day weekend and I want to
tell you about a little gathering held
at the home of Hugh and Barbara
Click. Would you believe they had
56 for Sunday dinner? That is a
houseful! How would you like to
cook for that many? (Ifs a good
thingit was at Barbara's house...she
knows how to cook for a crowd...and
good stuff, too.) Well anyway here
are just a few of the folks that got
together. Barbara's mother, Vivian
Moss from Carthage was there and
got to do something she'd never done
before in all her 70 some-odd years.
Her grandson, Art, was there with
his Harley Davidson and Vivian
went for a ride. She had a ball and
said, "It sure beats riding a horse!"
Vivian said she has gone from the
horse and buggy days to the Harley
Davidson days. i

lin from Nederland and 20 mem-
bers of his family including David
and Betty Christman from Winfield,
La. All told, Barbara had her eight
kids, their spouses and 15
grandkids. It was birthday celebra-
tion time too, for Barbara on Sept 4;
son, Tom Lindsey, on the 5th; and
daughter Susie Isaacs on Sept. 6.
Needless to say, everyone had a
super time.
Nolvin and Nelave Ward just got
back from Sugarland where they
helped celebrate their two
grandson's birthdays. John Horton
was 13 and Peter Horton turned 11.
On Sept. 3 the Wards celebrated
their 53rd wedding anniversary.
Congratulations to two very special
peoples.
) Tilings are happening out at Cold

The Rev. Duncan Graham, pastor of
the Cold Springs and Lynches
Chapel in 1962-63 will be the guest

Lions learn new game laws
Lieutenant Jerry McRae of the
Parks and Wildlife Department
briefed the Rusk Lions Club on the
new changes for the coming season.
Mandatory Hunter Safety regu-
lation was the first order ofinterest.
All children born between the dates
of September 2,1971 to August 31,
1973 must be certified to legally
hunt this year. Anyone under 17
years of age will be required to be
certified or be accompanied by a 17
year old certified hunter. Those
wishing to hunt this year and have
not met the newly required course
of Bafety instruction must call the
office of the Parks and wildlife
Department regarding classes.
The new legislation has also stiff-
ened the penalty for BWI offenders.
Boat operators who consume alco-
hol beverages while boating may be
required to under go testing for
intoxication. All boat operators in-
volved in accidents that result in
death or bodily injury that may lead
to death will find the testing man-
datory. The refusal to test will be
used as evidence against the indi-
vidual. The percentages will follow
in the tracks of the DWI laws and
may be tested by means of breath
test, blood test or urine sample. Re-
fusal to test will result in suspen-
sion of license and may be used as
evidence against the individual.
Ueutenant McRae also mentioned
the tremendous restocking effort
for the Eastern Turkey. TTie birds
were apparently hunted out years
ago due to poor management. The
Department will do everything they
can to reestablish a huntable popu-
lation in the future. A few people
have already found the $1000 fine
plus $500 restitution to be a learn-
ing experience that will not be
quickly forgotten.
As far as the deer regulations in
Cherokee County go, the Lieuten-
ant says there were no changes.
The four deer (two buck) limit is the
same as last year.
The first home game for the Rusk
Eagles will be Friday night and the
Lions Club wants to encourage you
to come out to the fish fry before the
game. We will be serving from 5:00
to 7:00 p.m. at the High School cafe-
teria.
Drug dog
demonstrates
at Rotary
Larry Robertson, of the Rusk
Police Department, was guest
speaker at the Wednesday noon
luncheon meeting of the Rusk Ro-
tary Club. Don Vandever was pro-
gram chairman and introduced the
speaker.
The use of dogs in detecting drugs
is growing because they can find
drugs when officers cannot. The
demonstration you have just seen
shows the value of dogs in fighting
drug traffic. Dogs are trained to
detect the different kinds of drugs
and although marijuana has a dif-
ferent odor to that of other drugs,
they can find marijuana as easily as
any drugs," stated Robertson.
It was pointed out how cocaine
and crack can be cut to make the
dealers a big profit. Several samples
of cocaine, crack and marijuana were
shown as well as some of the differ-
ent homemade pipes used in smok-
ing some drugs.

After the covered dish dinner Bro
Bill introduced the program leader,
Mrs. Pat Jackson, the wife of the
high school principal. He expresm*!

constant laughter.
After the funny part of the pro

provoking talk taken from the book
of Proverbs on "Happy is the Man
Who Finds Wisdom that God Gives."
She ended the program with a
"Thank You" prayer.

Floyd and Maurice Wallace re-
turned recently from a two week
trip in their motor home. This one
took the couple through the Mid-
West enjoying the sights of com
fields, grain and large grain bins at
each farm house. They went through
Old Dodge City, Kansas, the Long
Branch Saloon, Ft. Dodge jail, the
1903 Santa Fe locomotive and other
interesting spots.
They spent time at the original
Pony Express Station but the high-
light of the trip, Maurice said, was a
boat trip through the So Locks at
Sault St. Marie, Mich. This was a
two hour, narrated excursion right
alongside the huge freighters that
travel through the Great Lakes. The
boat was raised twenty one feet,
straight up to the level of Lake
Superior. After passing the Algoma
Steel Mill, the boat was lowered
twenty one feet and then unloaded.
The next day the Wallaces drove
over the High Bridge into Canada
where they enjoyed temperatures
in the fifties at night. Then it was
time to head on back home to Texas
where it was still hot Summertime.
If only we could bring some of that
"cool" back with us when some of us
travel up Northlands way!
