Burleson Fire Department
Highly Complimented
The residents of Wildwood
Estates had only-praise for the
Burleson Volunteer Fire De-
partment Monday when they
were called to the h^me of Tra-
vis Swink in Wildwood Eestates

promptness of the department

10-y ear-old Screwworm Pro-
gram, Mission Lab officials
gloomily announced Tuesday.
Texas was hit with a soaring
3,879 cases, nearly 900 more
than the previous record of
3,023 established the first week
of July, 1962.
The surging caseload bore
out the predictions of an un-
juvilant Dr. M. E. (Cotton)
Meadows, program director, who
warned two weeks ago that an
unexpected drop in the count—
the first after 11 successive
weeks of increases—was prob-
ably only temporary.
“Weather conditions hadn’t
changed that much so I felt
sure it was stricly a fluke,” he
commented, “but I didn’t think
*it would climb so high so fast.” ,
The biggest day was Monday*
with 1,019 cases, the smallest
was Wednesday with 416.
Texas’ -*1972 total ts now
16,196, second only to the
49,484 cases in 1962. —
The voracious fly struck in
seven new counties t oraise that
count to 162. The newcomers
were Childress, Crane, McLen-
nan, Oldham, Palo Pinto, Swis-
her and Wichita.
_ Arizona’s worsening situa-
tion continued to become just-
that as 50 more cases .there
rasied the 1972 figure to 166.
New Mexico had six more out-
breaks and now has 24 cases for
the year/
• Two more cases from Okla-s
homa were the first there since
May 10 when the first case in
nine years was confirmed in
Jefferson County. The new
cases were in Cotton and Co-
manche Counties in southcen-
tral Oklahoma.
California’s modest outbreak
remained at two cases where it
has stood fbr several weeks.
v The five-state figure through
last Friday (June 23) rests at
16,391 cases, the Lab reported.

I Graveside services were held
medical school to will yore body Saturday» July 1 at ^Tairie
\ to. I see by the papers where sPrinS« Cemetery. Rev. Micl^ael
the big name schools get more ” J ""
carcuses give to em than they I
can use, while them studying
of social studies, are expected
to attend the three day institu-.
te, which will feature some of
the nation’s top authorities on
the Constitution.
Speakers include
Visne Williamson,
social sciences at
receiving medical treatment the I Mr. and Mrs. Albert Aymond
Eek in All Saints Hospi- ! are spending the holidays with
rt Worth. • • I relatives in Houston.
One of the fellers remarked
at the country store recent that
newspaper readers was gitting
smarter. He had saw this pole
thta claimed the average read-
er was up to brains of a 18
year old, stead of a 12 year old
where he was a few years back.
Mister Editor, I been working
on that pole and I still don’t . run and was bucking
know how to figger it. I “ he ran. Mark held on tight
| l allus heard, fer instant that 1 a.nd “Teamed for help to stop
people are in their best fisacal
shape at 16 and their smartest
| at 20, and after that they jest
git sicker and dumber.- Be^ that
as it may, they’s a heap of ways }
to look at that pole. According
to the scale, going from 12 to
18, they figger people keep get-
| ting smarter and smarter. After
a while they may start from
. the other end and say the aver-
age voter has the mind of a- 50
year old, a big improvement Joe] (Doc) King
over a few years ago when he
was only smart as a 70 year
old.
Mister Editor. I don't know aed away JuIy 2' 1*72 at -:3°
nothing and I get that mixed .p „ —....... ...
up, but I still figger a feller
can git hisself at least a 18
p*~***“- year old.g erfucatfofj by jest
reading the papers, so go(along<
with the pole that far*. The
other day, fer instant/ T saw
where some scientist said the
worm in the' apple had got more
vitamins than the/’apple. He-
Could be saying a worm a. day
will keep the doctor away, but
I like to think he’s saying that
worms is better fer. fish'than
apples. *
Another piece I saw in the
paper was where a sychiatrist
said the trouble with people is
they “blow $10 worth of energy
on a 10-cent problem.” That
same day, ' Senator William
Proxmire said $5 million in ,ta*
money was spent on a travel
display that never got set up at
Dulles International Airport, <
and all we got for our money
was first class hotel rooms and I
plane trips fer the travel .ex- I
perts* and stacks of worthless '
display directions that figgereci
out at $30,000 a page.. I think !
a $10 |
tr.vwtciM, uui me uuverninent i , , . - ,
ain’t worrying a dime about it.” | dren' seVeral n,ecc! and nepl"
A example of a 10-tent prob-
lem, in my opinion, is which J
got to understand, like one
feller said, that you can’t re-
cycle a sow’s ear and some up
with a silk purse. When we
reuse paper we can’t get the
recycled paper pear food, we
recycle the germs right with it.
Recycling ain’t re-creating, that
job’s to big fer us.
