updated that day at Cross Tinkers Health Clinic, 893-5895. Yom*

nizations. It’s 6 weeks into the school year and you still don’t have
your children’s immunizations updated. You will be called Thurs-
day, October 7, by me to come get your child from school if they do not
have their updated immunizations. This is a state law and DISD must
abide by It If you have questions, contact me at 893-6004.
Thank you for your cooperation.

On September 30,1918, a bouncing baby boy was
born at Downing, TX. Does the picture look familiar?
