of the 1977 accidents, shot-
guns in 34 and handguns in
eight. Self-inflicted accidents
made up 41 percent of the
total. A total of 20 accidents
involved loaded guns and
vehicles.
A total of 29 of the
accidents was classified as
“hunter judgment” caused.
In three, the victim moved
into the line of fire; in 13, the
victim was hit by shooter
swinging on game; in six, the
victim was out of sight of the
special events chairman for
this year’s Cancer Crusade.
It is planned to promote the
cause of the annual Crusade
and to help raise money
through donations.
Chandler has asked any
former Elk eagers interested
in helping to contact him at
the North Central Texas
Council of Governments
where he was a graduate of
the COG Regional Police
Academy. He has also at-
tended numerous specialized
law enforcement training
seminars during his tenure
on the Burleson police force.
He chose to remain in
Burleson upon graduation
from high school because
this “is where I was raised
and I want to be a part of
Burleson’s growth.”
He added that “Being in
law enforcement is a direct
way of being involved in
your community and hope-
fully is a way of bringing
about a more secure every-
day life for those who live
here.”
He and his wife, Jackie
Sue, have a four year old
daughter named Brandi Gail.
The Yates family enjoys
camping, hunting, hiking,
boating and motorcycles in
their spare time.

ment.
A Johnson County native,
he was promoted to the rank
of detective sergeant in Oct-
ober of 1976 following a
written examination. His
principal job assignment in
that capacity is criminal
investigation.
He said that he enjoys all
phases of police work, parti-
cularly the contact that it
brings with the public. He
also likes the part of his
work that deals with patrol,
criminal investigation, inter-
rogation and police photo-

Hunting Accidents Increase In 1977

non-fatal - in calendar year
1977 than in 1976, according
to statistics compiled by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department.
During 1977, there were

If you want to put a little
bounce in your life, plan to
attend Burleson’s first
“Dribble-athon” on
day, March 18.
That’s when Burleson
High School basketball play-
ers, past and present, will
spend the day dribbling balls
around a local shopping cen-
ter parking lot.
Why would a group of
apparently sane and sound
young men do such a thing?
Certainly they don’t expect
college or pro scouts to
discover their roundball
prowess in a parking lot!
No, the reason is simpler- ----------------- -
and more meaningful. The hunter safety section ot the
Elk eagers will be holding a m
marathon dribbling exhibi-
tion to help raise money for
the 1978 Cancer Crusade.
The idea is the brainstorm
(or diabolical creation) of

Huguley Health Seminar
20 and runs four nights a
week for two weeks, the last
night being March 30. Dy-
namic Health begins at 7
p.m. this coming Monday,
March 20.
There is a registration fee
of $15 per person or $25 per
married couple that helps
defray the cost of materials.
Most people would enjoy
more energy, less fatigue,
better sleep and ideal weight
(without dieting).
“All of these things can be
achieved through a program
of habit modification,” says
Wayne Bolan, Health Educa-
tor at Huguley Memorial
hospital. “A person can learn
how to achieve all of these
goals at this Dynamic Health
Seminar.”
The seminar includes lec-
tures by physicians and
group discussions. Bolan con-
tinues, “Everything offered
in the Dynamic Health Sem-
inar is very practical and
down-to-earth. Participants
will receive their own per-
sonal Dynamic Health fold-
ers and will receive mater-
ials to insert into these
folders.”
“Each person that attends
the Dynamic Health Seminar
will learn how to drop old
habits and form new ones.
They can then establish a
new health life style,” states
Wayne Bolan.
The seminar begins March
