another spirit with him and

Numbers 14: 24.
Caleb is one of my favorite
Bible personalities He was a
man that knew where he
was, where he was going and
where he had been. God
testified of Caleb as Hie
servant who had another
spirit about him. This other
spirit was far different than

CHANGING ATTITUDES ABOUT DWI
Few things in this coun-
try have changed as much
during the past few years as
public attitudes on drunk
drivers. It is a change we
can all be thankful for.
Most of that change, in
my opinion, can be attrib-
uted to the organization of
Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers (MADD). and the
attendant publicity and edi-
torial support they have
received from our news-
papers. They have suc-
ceeded. where others have
failed, in drawing attention
to the tragedy that has
claimed the lives of thou-
sands of Texans.
It was not long ago. for
instance, when some public
officials who ought to lead
by example were openly
contemptuous of our laws
against driving while
drunk. Much of this prob-
lem started nine years ago
when my opponent became
Lt. Governor and helped
pass the law reducing the
legal drinking age from
twenty-one to eighteen
years of age. Now Mr.
Hobby, feeling the heat of
irate parents and loved
ones, and perhaps personal
remorse, has said he favors
tougher drunk driving
laws—another switch from
a previous position.
Political promises, how-
ever, are easily made. If a
politician can't get excited
about an issue of this mag-
nitude in nine years, it
seems unlikely that he
would get excited and pur-
sue corrective legislation in
another four years.
So 1 hope the Mothers
Against Drunk Drivers will
stick to their guns, and 1
hope they continue getting
support from the people of
our state. Their efforts to
put an end to this carnage
on our highways has my
support, and I hope it has
yours.
Of one thing we can be
reasonably sure: Starting
next year we will have a
new Lt. Governor, and that
will make it easier. If you
have thoughts on this sub-
ject, please write me at 121'3

trol over what he becomes.
Patrols - The Patrol method
gives Scouts an experience in
group living and participating
citizenship It places a certain
amount of responsibility on
young shoulders and teaches
boys how to accept it. The Pa-
trol method allows Scouts to
act in small groups where they
easily can relate to each other.
These small groups determine
Troop activities through their
elected representatives. A Pa-
trol is democracy in action.
Outdoors - The Boy Scout
program is designed to take
place outdoors. It is in the out-
doors that Scouts share respon-
sibilities and leam how to live
with each other. It is here
that the skills and activities pra-
cticed at Troop meetings come
alive with purpose.
Advancement - Scouting pro-
vides a series of surmountable
obstacles and steps to overcome
them through the advancement
method The Scout plans his
advancement and progresses
at this own pace as he over-
comes each challenge The Scout
is rewarded for each achieve-
ment, which helps him gain
self confidence The steps in
the advancement system help
a boy grow in self reliance and
the ability to help others.
Adult Male Association - Boys
leam from the example of their
adult leaders. In his quest for
manhood, every boy needs con-
tact with men he can copy. Scout
masters and their assistants
and other male leaders provide
a masculine image of the vita-
lity and virility of the Boy scout
program.
Personal Growth - As Scouts
plan their activity, and progress
toward their goals, they ex-
perience personal growth. The
Good Turn concept is a major
part of the personal growth
method. Boys grow as they par-
ticipate in community service
projects and do Good Turns
for others. Frequent personal
conferences with his Scoutmas-
ter help each Scout to determine
his growth toward Scouting’s
aim
Leadership Development - The
Boy Scout program encourages
boys to leam and practice lea-
dership skills. Every Scout has
the opportunity to participate in
both shared and total leadership
situations. Understanding the
concepts of leadership helps a

My father was a fighter for
everything he truly believed
in.
During his long illness,
when he knew he wouldn’t
leave his hospital room, he
still fought to live just a little
longer.
In my ignorance I thought
he was afraid to die. This
just isn’t true because each
day that he lived, he lived to
its fullest relishing that day
for all he was worth.
He knew that life was
precious and should be en-
joyed as long as possible. His
request to extend his life was
not out of fear of death, but
rather as a tribute to life. His
last months of life were an
inspiration to all who knew
him.
His death was inevitable.
Quietly and peacefully he
returned to hie maker,
knowing that he had lived,
loved and died to the utmost
of hie ability.

boy accept the leadership role
of others and guides him toward
the citizenship aim of Scouting.
Uniform - The uniform makes
the Scout Troop visible as a
force for good and creates a po-
sitive youth image in the com-
munity. The Boy Scout program
is an action program and wear-
ing the uniform is an action
that shows each Scout's com-
mitment to the aims and pur-
poses of Scouting. The uni-
form provides a way for Scouts
to wear the badges that show
what they have accomplished.
Perhaps you now better un-
derstand the Boy Scout program
and what it is trying to ac-
complish. The world is full of
people willing to follow the lead
of others. In Scouting we are
attempting to help your son to
become a leader, not just an-
other follower. We meet at the
Scout Hut next to the old Lions
Club swimming pool every Wed-
nesday night at 6:30 - 8:00.
Bring your son to one of our
meetings. Both of you come pre-
pared to check us out - ask us
questions - we believe that we’ve
got the best boy program in the
world and we’re willing to
share it with you.

t/>e staff of
Margaret Hasse sent us some tips she's learned during a year of sweetening and
cooking exclusively with honey. Her experiences may help you get started on your
own bee-sweetening venture.
Because honey-flavored baked goods brown faster, Margaret has learned to keep
her modified breads and muffins from overbrowning before they’re cooked through by
baking them a little longer at lower temperatures. When she's converting a new su ^ar
recipe to honey for the first time, she automatically knocks 25 °F off the oven setting.
The same consideration applies to other cooking methods as well as to baking. All
dishes made with honey, she says, seem to stick a little sooner or burn a little faster,
so she stirs more often-and frequently turns down the flame.
Another point to remember is that honey adds liquid to a recipe: about three table-
spoons of extra fluid per cup of sweetening or one-quarter cup per pound. Even when
you allow for that fact, your baked goods will tend to be moister than those made with
sugar . . but the longer, slower baking—which prevents burning—also helps keep the
texture moist rather than wet.
Finally, honey is slightly acid ... so Margaret adds a little soda (usually one-eighth
to one-fourth teaspoonful per cup of sweetening) to most batters and doughs. This
addition is unnecessary with yeast breads though, because the bread leavening
thrives in the mildly acid environment.
This cook has found that light honey is easier to substitute for sugar than dark be-
cause it's more predictable in flavor and less likely to overwhelm other tastes. (The
dark varieties, on the other hand, have a robust quality that’s often a welcome
change.)
At any rate, the sugar in a recipe can generally be replaced with an equal weight of
light honey a rule that works out to about two-thirds of a cup of liquid sweetening
to one cup of dry. And, of course, you must remember to deduct about three table-
spoons of other liquid for each cup of honey you use.
Using honey to flavor cold beverages caused a minor problem for the Hasse house-
hold: The golden liquid, introduced into a chilled drink, immediately stiffens. They
found that they could overcome this difficulty by mixing one pert of water—at room
temperature or a little warmer-with three parts of sweetening. Now a bottle of "hon
ey syrup" appears on the table for use with cold foods, or in place of other syrups for
pancakes, ice cream, etc. One drawback: The mixture doesn't keep well and will start
to ferment in about a week if unrefrigerated.
The Hasses have put up a lot of jams and jellies with honey ... and for all their
fruit-makings they 've used essentially the same recipe. Prepare and measure the fruit
or juice. If you make batches about the size recommended by the Sure-Jell people (see
the directions sheet inside the package), you'll have good results with a pound-for-
pound substitution of honey for the sugar the instructions call for Then use the
amount of juice specified per lot, less one-quarter cup of liquid for each pound of hon-
ey. With really strong wild fruit you may want more sweetening, in which case you
should use proportionately less fluid.
Mix the honey, fruit, and Sure-Jell in a deep pan (The jelly mixture will bubble up to
about double its original volume, so be forewarned I Bring these ingredients to a full
rolling boil and continue this hard boil until the combination passes the "jelly test"
... usually 15 minutes or so.
Ladle the sweet stuff into hot sterilized jars and seal them. If you're fussy about
looks, you can skim the liquid before jarring it.
