ABILENE, Texas (AP) — There
they were, maybe 300 participants in
a motorcycle rally in Buffalo Gap,
ready to have a good time, possibly
do some two-steppin' and a little
drinking, and then the sheriff of
Callahan County has to show up in his
patrol car and ruin it all.
You can probably guess what most
bikers did.
They left.
It's just natural people get the
wrong impression about Bill Skinner.
The bikers sure did.
As it turned out, the sheriff just
happened to be off-duty, and he was
getting ready to lead his band —
they’re know as The Inmates — in
another performance.
parts, he doesn't seek the big times.
“It's really relaxing,” said Skinner
before a gig at an Abilene retirement
center, following a long day transpor
ting prisoners from Eastland's jail to
Baird. "1 guess whatever a person
likes to do is relaxing if you’re get-
ting away from your main job."
Music is not his main line, but if
one were present during Putnam's
first-ever public dance last spring,
they’d find plenty of Callahan County
folk who’d swear he's as good as
those who actually do make it their
profession.

Sheriff's Report
Joni Dodson, a familiar face to
area country music fans and a
member of Skinner’s band,
remembers the incident well. “When
Bill pulled his car up there — well,
there were about 300 people out
there, and I think only 25 came to the
dance.
“Talk about intimidation.”
As for himself, Skinner just shrugs
and laughs it off.
"Next time,” he said, "I’ll come in
a plain car.”
That’s the way it goes sometimes
for Skinner, the guitar-twanging
sheriff of Callahan County. Just when
some folks think he’s going to get
them for some outstanding fine, he
pulls out a guitar and starts singing
And frankly, the people of the coun-
ty are happy he does.
"I do this mainly because 1 just
love music," says Skinner, county
sheriff since 1976. “1 don’t do this for
a living. I have another profession.”
And unlike so many frantically
aspiring country musicians in these

The Texas Department of Health
Region 5 office in Arlington an-
nounces an Immunization Clinic to be
held in Mineral Wells on Monday,
November 18,1985 at Ft. Wolters Ind.
Park Rt. 4 Bldg. 909, from 2:00-4:00
p.m.
The Clinic will provide immuniza-
tion against Diptheria-Tetanus-
Pertussis (DTP), Polio, Rubeola
(Red Measles) and Rubella (German
Measles). Precautions must be taken
with females in the 12-18 age group to

and that they do not become preg-
nant for 3 months following im-
munization.

child has not received three (3) doses

past the fourth birthday. All Children
under 18 years must have an inform-
ed consent form read and signed by
the parent or legal guardian. If possi-
ble, the parent should accompany the
child to the clinic.
Immunization records should ac-
company the child to the clinic and be
examined by the public health nurse

following children would have im-
munizations deffered: (1) Those
acutely ill and with fever , (2) Those
taking antibiotic treatment for an
acute illness; and (3) Those who
have completed antibiotic treatment
for an acute illness, but have not been
pronounced well by their physician.
The Department makes no charge
for the immunizations. C.R. Allen,
Jr., M.D., Director, Public Health

Hypertension
and diabetes
clinic Nov. 18
The Texas Department oh Health
Regional Office in Arlington an-
nounces a Hypertension and
Diabetes Screening Clinic to be held
in Mineral Wells on Monday,
November 18, 1985 at North Oak
community Center, 608 N. Oak from
10:00 a.m. -12:00 Noon.
The Screenings are targeted
toward those individuals who could
not obtain them otherwise and they
will be performed by Public Health
Nurses at no charge. The goal is to
find suspect cases of these so-called
"Silent Diseases" early in their
course, refer the patients to physi-
cians for diagnosis and treatment,
and thereby reduce disease, death,
and health care cost. “Since these
diseases can be serious and can con-
tribute to other health problems,
each adult should visit his or her
private physician or the Public
Health Clinic on a regular basis,’’
said C.R. Allen, Jr., MD„ Director,
Public Health Region 5.
