PETS NEED
VACCINATIONS
Pet owners in Texas are
still playing Russian roulette
with rabies.
It's virtually a certainty
that a human who contracts
rabies will die, yet most pet
owners are failing to get low
cost insurance against
rabies in their pets. This pet
insurance — immunization
against rabies — is avail-
able at the office of any
veterinarian. Unvaccinated
pets pose a threat to their
owners, relatives and
friends.
The Texas Department of
Health recommends yearly
vaccinations for pets. It's a
small price to pay for
security.
In I John 2:15-17 we read,
“Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the
world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father
is not in him. For all that is
in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of
the world. And the world
passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth
the will of God abideth for
ever.”
Here in this context as well
as other writings of John we
see the importance of action.
It is not love in profession
that is blessed, but love in
practice. Jesus said, “If a
man love me, he will keep
my words” (John 14:23). It
is not all together the creed
that is commended, but the
conduct of the Christian,
however, we must know the
creed or teaching of Christ
before we can follow the way
of Christ.
It is like the young man
who walked into the
captain’s cabin of a Missis-
sippi riverboat, and asked
for a job as a wheelman.
“What experience have you
had on the river?” asked the
captain. The young man
replied, “Five years, sir.”
“Do you know the location
of all the shoals and snags?”
“No sir, but I know where
there ain’t any, and that’s
where I try and keep the
boat.” He was given the job.
I feel we can use this
illustration in living the
Christian life. The path of
safety for the Christian is
not in knowing all the nature
of sin, or the path of
wickedness, but in knowing
the will of the Lord and in
being willing to stay in it.
Too many people want to
know about the shoals and
snags along life’s way rather
than know the open river
bed of life mapped out in
God’s word. Beware! We
can make shipwreck of our
faith. Read I Timothy 1:19-
20.
Give a hoot.
Don’t pollute. Recycle!
Recycle bottles: cans (flattened) and
newspapers by taking them to the nearest
recycling center. If there isn't a recycling
center where you live, form a group in
your school to get local authorities to
establish one.

DORIS MAYO, owner of The Pants Place, has moved to
Howe from Van Alstyne. The shop features dresses, tops,
pants and shoes, and is open Wednesday-Saturday from
9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Pants Place
Moves To Howe
Doris Mayo of Van Alstyne
has opened a clothing shop
in. Howe. The Pants Place is
located next to Chisum’s
Grocery in downtown Howe.
Mrs. Mayo began her shop
in Van Alstyne in 1974
across from the bank, but
had to move last year to 120
S. Main. Now she has
moved to Howe and hopes to
stay here.
She was raised in Durant,
Oklahoma and has lived in
Van Alstyne the last seven
years with her husband,
Sonny, who is retired. They
have three children, a son
and two daughters, all
married.
Mrs. Mayo has worked at
Texas Instruments for 15
years and plans to continue
until she can retire. Because
of the shift she works, she is
able to keep the shop open.
She began with a part time
interest in the clothes busi-

Attention:
Parents With
Small Children
I REMEMBER
I remember when I could
read an entire chapter,
some days even an entire
book
at one sitting
without interruptions.
I remember when I could
work for hours at a time in
my study,
the hours were dependent
on me
not on nap.
I remember when I knew no
one with children
and had no idea what 2T
meant.
And I remember when
no one called Mommmy
and when
no little arms wrapped them-
selves around my neck,
no little kisses or hugs were
mine.
And I prefer today.
-Susan A. Holton
Are you a parent who
wishes you could again read
a book - even if it takes 2
weeks? Would you like to
have time to sneak off and
do something you want to do
- without the help of tiny
hands? If so, CAPES (Child-
birth and Parent Education
Society) can provide some
relief.
CAPES is a non-profit or-
ganization centered in North
Texas. Founded on the
shared needs of parents,
CAPES is dedicated to the
support of parents of young
children through its services
and educational activities.
CAPES does not endorse a
singular theory of parenting,
but offers instead a forum
for a variety of approaches
to childbearing and family
life.
CAPES does promote child-
birth education and family
centered maternity care.
Membership is open to any-
one. Annual dues are $5.00.
Meetings take place every
month (during even-
numbered months) on the
third Thursday of the month.
As a member and past
secretary, Mrs. Tim (Pam)
Buchanan of Howe is
opening her home to the
people of Howe and the
surrounding area to get
CAPES started. There are
many services available.
Anyone wishing more in-
formation may contact Mrs.
Buchanan.

Do Business
With Social
Security From
Your Home
Doing business with Social
Security from the con-
venience of your living room
is becoming the norm rather
than the exception, said Gus
Jones of the Sherman office.
It is seldom really neces-
sary to make a personal visit
to the office, look for a
parking place, and wait to be
interviewed. In most cases
you will get better and
quicker action on your claim
or problem by using the
telephone.
Jones suggested that any
time you need to contact the
Social Security office, you
should telephone first. Many
problems can be handled
without papers needing to
be signed. If a signature is
required, the forms can be
mailed.
Another advantage of doing
business from your home is
that most of the records
which you will need are
there and you can readily
refer to them.
With the current price of
gas high and rising, tele-
phone service can add up to
real savings. The number of
the Sherman office is 893-
4654.
Texas A&M
tops in recreation
COLLEGE STATION — A
nationwide survey of 21 univer-
sity recreation and parks cur-
ricula has ranked Texas A&M
University number one.
The survey found that be-
tween 1970-1977, Texas A&M
produced 31 percent of the
doctoral graduates in the field
nationwide, 42 Out of 136.
The study reported that of
the 21 large institutions offer-
ing parks and recreation pro-
grams, Texas A&M was first in
the average ranking for
bachelor’s, master’s and doc-
toral programs.

screw a wood screw into

the screw with soap and it

AVOID WILD ANIMALS
Since wild animals are the
primary source of rabies in
Texas, the Texas Depart-
ment of Health has some sug-
gestions for avoiding rabies
in humans on their pets.
Never pet or attempt to
pick up any wild animal
which appears tame or
friendly — it could be rabid.
Your pet should be kept
away from wild animals or
strays. Keeping it penned or
on a leash will help. Humans
also should avoid all stray
animals — they may be
rabid or have been exposed
to rabies.

Petroleum Imports
The U.S. imported 43 per-
cent of its total refined petro-
leum products for the first six
months of 1979 ns compared
to only 35 percent at the be-
ginning of the Arab oil em-
bargo in 1973. The high-
water mark of 47.8 percent
was reached in 1977.
OPEC members supplied
67 percent of U.S. oil imports
during the first six months of
1979. Saudi Arabia is the No.
1 source and accounted for
16.2 percent of the total.
Other top countries were Ni-
geria, 13 percent; Algeria and
Libya, 8 percent; Indonesia, 5
percent; and Iran, 1.7 per-
cent. Before the Iranian Re-
volution, direct imports from
Iran accounted for 6.6 per-
cent of the U.S. total.

Through 1947, the United
States was a net exporter of
petroleum. By the fall of
1979, net imports were 7.6
million barrels a day, crude
and refined products com-
bined.
The U.S. Department of
Energy has set a goal of re-
ducing imports 50 percent by
1990. This will require both
reducing demand and increas-
ing supply, and individual
efforts to conserve energy
will be a very important part.

Dear Readers,
At times I feel over the
years I may have become a
pack rat. I have saved things
over the years that I enjoy
reading. Some date back to
my school days. Others were
on cards or letters I received
over the years. Most of them
are ragged, torn, turned
yellow from age. Yet some
are new as a new born babe.
Each verse, saying, poem
has a very special meaning
to me. Most of them I can’t
give credit where credit is
due, for I don’t know who
wrote them. I did write some
of them.
I am go glad that I can
share some them with you,
my readers. I would like to
thank Lana and Dale Rideout
for letting me share my
thoughts, ideas and stories
with you.
Here is one of my favorites.
NEVER
Never for a moment
Doubt that God can do
Even what seems
Impossible to you.
Never lose your courage
Always in Him trust.
God will give you strength
To bear the things you must.
Never fail to witness
Never fail to pray.
Jesus never fails,
He’s faithful each day.
■ Never fail to praise God
Never fail to sing,
Never fail to thank
The Lord for everything.
