THE PUSH BUTTON WORLD
OF A GOLD MEDALLION HOME
You just push a button in the kitchen to cook
cooler, cleaner. Your dishwasher and disposer help
with after-dinner clean-ups. Push a button in the laundry
to wash and dry the dirty clothes. In a Gold Medallion Home
you're comfortable year round with clean, quiet electric
heating and cooling. And your push-button Gold Medallion
Home is so economical to operate with low-cost electricity
from Seseo.
Alcoholism, like tuberculoma, Is a disease that can strike
at any age. It Just depends on the "resistance" level of
the person Involved.
The two are alike In another respect..they strike hardest
when the person Is young. Or, maybe we Just feel worse
about that sort of thing. . .when we see young peoples'
lives messed up.
It's foolish, really, that we are even asked to vote on
the decision of whether or not to legalize the sale of mixed
drinks. Look at the record FOR drinking. It's in the middle
of murder, death on the highways, broken marriages, par.
entless children, crushed human spirit.
And we're asked to approve it,
I just wish that Amendment 2 also included a proposal
to outlaw cigarettes. The day will come, mark it down,
when the population will wake up to the damage being done
to their lungs by "smoke".
It's a pitiful truth however, that many times folks wake
up to what's good (or bad) for them. . .to late.
God admonished human beings to be moderate in ALL
thing*. But how many persons do you know who simply
cannot "be moderate"? So that's why supplemental, man-
made laws have evolved. , .to protect man from himself.
It is important that you study not only proposition 2 on
the list of amendments for consideration Nov. 3rd, but
all i sues which Involve laws to govern the behavior of
people.

Courage And Energy
Needed Says Dr. Wade
ji^uwmo •
lee C«
(Editor's note;This concludes
a two-part feature reprint of
the text of a talk made by Dr.
David Wade to a meeting of
the State's Volunteer Serv-
ices Council on Padre Is-
land recently. With encour-
agement for their efforts, Dr,
Wade told his listeners, "it
takes courage and energy to
get people out of grooves.")
For this reason, and In re-
cognition of the rights of vol-
unteers to be heard and to
know what Is going on, I In.
vite the officers of the Vol-
unteer Services Council to
meet with me on a regular
basis, let's say something like
quarterly, to exchange ideas
and information.
If each superintendent and
director is not meeting with
the Volunteer Councils, for
this same purpose, he or she
is not as smart as I prefer
to think. People who go
through life with granite-like
convictions lead a cheerless
existence. They miss all the
fun of exploring, all the chai-
lenge of debating, and all the
thrill of finding something
new.
These discussions take for
granted that everyone has had
experiences which may con-
tribute something of value
to the group. They recog-
nize that one doec not pos.
sess the whole truth, but
seeks, pursues, and finds
some part of it.
We need to exchange and en-
large our ideas so that we
may grow into our future.
As volunteers you have of-,
ten been frustrated by Strug-'
gllng against the profession-
als to make your contrlbu.
tlon. This frustration Is still
there In varying degrees, de-
pending upon the particular
hospital, school, center and
the staff.
Staff should not excuse Itself
by saying that a procedure
that Irritates a resident will
simplify bookkeeping or make
things tidier. Some formulas
drawn up by systems people
in conference rooms may have
important advantages within
the bureaucratic walls but
are not adapted to the prac-
tical needs of daily life. Even'
if we are specialists, we can-
not function effectively if all
we bring to our desks is our
specialty.
As change comes about, it is
my desire that there will be
even greater awareness of,
and Involvement of, people
besides the traditional pro-
fessionals with the special
problems and needs of peop-
le with various kinds of emo-
tional, mental and social
handicaps.
This is not a half-hearted
gesture of acceptance of vol-
unteers. You are the man
who came to dinner, brought
the steak, helped prepare the
meal, and stayed on to help
do the dlshe* and sweep out,
There may be more sand to

or obstructive. We may be
waiting to digest all the ev.
Idence. We will try to view
the contacts fi-om both sides
and make the effort neces.
sary to make the contacts
as pleasant as possible.
If there is opportunity for
the Volunteer Services Coun-
cil officers to meet with me
here at Padre Island, we could
select a date for a discussion
retreat. I would suggest a date
after Christmas and before
the Legislature convenes.
It Is appropriate community
centers are Included on this
program. The sands have
shifted In this direction. Most
community mental health,
mental retardation centers
are offspring of volunteers.
They have been the key to
success and It is Impossible
to visualize effective com.
munity.based programs with,
out maximum utilization. of
volunteers.
The wall between the schools
and hospitals was crossed
long ago by community-cen-
ter-minded volunteers. They
saw the merit In combined
action If the needs of the men-
tally retarded were to be met
at home and if hospitalization
were to be prevented. They
draw upon every agency,,
service, and resource that
could contribute to the wel-
fare of their townspeople.
Their crisis intervention
services are models of In-
novation. May the tribe in-

clal work can not be done
wholesale. You have a deep,
rooted respect for the indi,

schools and hospitals, each
citizen served by the com-
munity center, outreach serv-

clal case. No two have Jobs,
families, memberships, hob.

exactly Identical. We can not
insult them by regarding them
as herd of cattle to be driven
to our selected pasture.
Volunteers are partners, not
intruders In our work. You
make our budgets go further.
Your sympathy, warmth, and
genuineness Influence the be.
havior of those we serve.
You improve the level of care

the public allows It to be or

It Is all over .the 30th anni-
versary celebration of the
Rusk Lion's Club, doing three
things. Honoring Charter
Members, Past Presidents
and celebrating the paying of
all indebtedness on the rodeo
arena, two little league ball
parks, and the Rusk Lions
Swimming Pool. Every Lion
and Lioness seemed to be In
a gay mood and from all
accounts a great time was had
by all. So good to see
some of the Charter Members
and Past Presidents that no
longer live in Rusk. Every-
body appearing on the
program was simply out-
standing;
Lion President Jack Fitts
in his Welcome Address sta-
ted that the Rusk Lions Club
(was not going to quit now,
but would go forward In try-
ing to help the youth of our
area as well as our City
and community. There are
many things to do and the
Rusk Lions are just starting.
Lion District Governor
Chester Stout of Carthage
recognized the Charter Mem-
bers; E.R. (Bob) Gregg, Jr.
recoenized the Past Pres-
idents and Oble Walker
brought us old memories on
how the different projects
were started, how we received
our money from selling deb-
entures and finally the burning
of all debentures with our
debt paid in full.
Many laughs came from
some of the situations that
the club found itself in during
these years, presented a c only
Lion Obie could present It.
There were some sad mom-
ents when tribute was paid
to some that did so much
for our organization, that are
no longer with us.
Then to put the frosting on
the cake Past District Gov-
ernor Marion B. Snider was
presented and his entertain-
ment was out of this world.
Many have said that this was
the best entertainment tha1
they have ever enjoyed. It
was the wish of the Presi-
dent and the program com-
mittee that this would be an
outstanding affair and we are
told that it was. When we
celebrate our 40th. anniver-
sary in 1980 may we have
many more things to say about
what we have done for the
youth and people of our City
and surrounding community.

to some
SERIOUS
QUESTIONS
Why am I here? What shall I do
wilh my life? Where am I going? '
This young man is at the threshold of
his adult life and needs the answer
to some serious questions. Perhaps you
find yourself pausing to take stock of
your life and groping for direction.
The Church of the Living God tells the
truth about man's life, death, and
destiny. The truths learned there
will set you free to live a more
abundant, meaningful, and
creative life. "And ye
shall know the truth and
the truth shall make
you free."
