Give a hoot.
Don’t pollute our water.
Never throw trash of any kind in
streams, lakes or oceans. Use a trash can
or litter bag.
Never throw old fishing lines near
streams or lakes. They can hurt—or kill-
birds and small animals.
Tell mom to put used cooking fat in
old milk cartons, then into your trash can.
Cooking fat clogs kitchen sinks, plumbing
and septic tanks.
If mom uses her dishwasher only once
a day. with a low phosphate detergent,
she’ll cut down on pollution.

Howe Scouts and their
families enjoyed a pot luck
dinner last Saturday night.
The spread of food was like
at a family reunion or church
supper.
Awards were given out to
scouts who had worked hard
The cub scouts had really
worked hard. Each boy was
up front several times to
receive patches and other
awards. Those moms must
have had a lot of practice
cooking to feed those boys
and keep them going strong.
Maybe that’s why the
spread of food was so good.

SCHOOL BOARD
Con’t from page one
board discussed the results
of these tests. Overall scores
appeared to be good with
areas of strengths and weak-
nesses pointed out in the
scores.
Since this is the first year
the tests have been given,
there was no real basis of
comparison. Supt. Boyle
said that parents may see
their child’s score sheet and
discuss the meanings with
him if they wish.
The construction of the
addition to the elementary
building is good, Boyle said.
It is in the dry with the roof
completed and the doors can
be locked. Boyle said he
hopes it will be finished by
August 1.
On a motion from Bill
Wardlaw, the board
'services at Region 18
for 1980-81. This is for films,
filmstrips, and other such

School Board Liability In-
surance was approved on a
motion by David Catching.
The board set the June
meeting for Thursday, June
5, at 8 p.m.

Dear Editor,
Please allow me to use your
letters to the editor column
to offer my thanks to the
voters who went to the polls
recently in my behalf. Those
who supported me during
my three races in 1978 made
possible my present term
which ends at the close of
the year.
To the many who voted for
me, worked for me, and
contributed in 1980. I also
say thank you, and pledge
that I will do my best to
complete this term in a way
that will best serve the in-
terests of all Texans.
I will never forget my
friends, and I remain grate-
ful for the splendid oppor-
tunity of serving this great
state.
Sincerely yours,
John Poerner
Railroad Commissioner
Small Business:
Everybody’s Business
Something as familiar as
the morning coffee, our
newspaper, the neighbor
next door, we tend to take
pretty much for granted. So
is it with the
millions of small businesses
Few of us start the day by
thoughtfully reflecting on
the role and significance of
small businesses ih our
economy and society.
IF IT’S NEWS TO YOU,
IT’S NEWS TO US
Call 532-6012
ACCIDENT CONTROL: If
you have youngsters under
five years old, it is well
worth your effort to be care-
ful about how you use, store
and dispose of pesticides.
Children in this age group
are the most frequent vic-
tims of pesticide poisoning.
Protect them by keeping
chemicals out of sight and
out df reach.
Super Skate
Planned "
Area roller skaters will
soon have an opportunity to
compete for prizes and raise
money for a good cause.
A Super Skate, sponsored
by the Texas Association for
Retarded Citizens, will be
held June 1 at the Sher-Den
Skate Center, 3100
Versailles, in Sherman.
The association provides
sen ^es for the 3.60,000
mentally retarded children
and adults in Texas. Money
raised by the association
through donations and fund
raisers supports programs
such as residential care,
vocational training, nursing
care and community living
facilities for the state’s re-
tarded citizens.
Pledge forms and details
about the Super Skate may
be obtained at the skating
rink.
Then, along come National
Small Business Week - this
year from May llt'n to 17th
- and we are suddenly re-
minded of the powerful and
productive role these small
businesses play in creating
employment, new consumer
products, and healthy comp-
petion.
Small businesses employ
more than half of the
American labor force and
account for 48 percent of the
gross national product - our
total national output of good
and services.
Small firms • with less than
1,000 employees - produce
innovations at one-fourth the
cost of larger firms. Small
firms have accounted for
half of all innovations in this
century. The helicopter, air
conditioning, frozen food
packaging, mini-computers,
the jet engine, the automatic
transmission - all came out
of small business workshops
Just look around you. Right
here in Howe, small busi-
ness people are a vital part
of our economic and social
well-being.
No one would argue that
fact, even though we don't
think about -t every day.
Time s wfy we trunk Small
Business Week is an appro-
priate time for us to share in
recognition and appreciation
of the contributions small
businesses make to our
community and our nation.
We ask you to join us in
saluting our friends and
neighbors, the small
business people of Howe.
TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE is Glyn Hestand. He
was sworn in as the new mayor of Howe at a special
meeting on May 7.
Immunizable Disease Totals
at Record Low
Not a single case of polio
or diphtheria was reported
last year, and rubella and
mumps had record low
totals, the Texas Depart-
ment of Health reported in
emphasizing the success of
its Texas immunization pro-
gram.
Dr. Jerome H. Greenberg,
Deputy Commissioner for
Preventable Diseases with
TDH, said Texas statistics
mirror what is occurring na-
tionally in the decline of the
childhood diseases.
“We’ve got as good an
immunization program as
any in the nation,” said Dr.
Greenberg. “Prior to the
passage in the Texas
Legislature of the school im-
munization law and child
iC^xrpo Toxeo Kad a poor
record.” He said the state
often would be the nation-
wide leader in some
diseases which now are
among the lowest according
to population figures.
The lack of diphtheria last
year was the second year in
a row in which no diphtheria
was reported. Texas was
without a single case of polio
in 1973, 1974, 1976, 1978
and 1979. Dr. Greenberg
compared these im-
munizable diseases with the
record years before immuni-
zations were available. In
1950, Texas recorded 2,778
cases of polio, while in 1933
there 5,756 cases of diph-
theria in Texas.
Other cases of immu-
nizable diseases in 1979 in-
cluded: tetanus, 17 cases
pertussis, 104 cases
measles 670; rubella, 212
and mumps, 908.
A yardstick in measuring
the success of the program is
the number of cases counted
in 1970, a year before the
passage of the school im-
munization law.
