of Walter Halbert on his 64th
birthday.)
Another year has passed
since you have been gone.
It seem1- so long.
1 dream of you each night
When dreams are good it
makes me glad
When they are bad it makes
me sad.
I know you are waiting forme
Someday I will be with thee
In yonder silent cemetery just
beyond the Hill
Lie the farm we love '•o si _

At thi*- point 1 again want
to remind producer*, that
screwworms are back in Ch-
erokee County. Two confirm-
ed ca'se*- have been reported
by the Mission Laboratory.
Owen- and Sons Cattle Com-
pany and J. C. Hall have had
cases confirme ! and Animal
Health Commission person-
nel are taking action. This
return of the screwworm is
very unfortunate. Texas this
past month had 15,749 cases
of screwworms. Every pro-
ducer needs to cooperate if
this outbreak is to be con
trolled . Again, if you sus-
pect screwworms pleasecon-
tact the Extension office so

lently and still.
His soul ha>- left his body
And passing through the door
has caused us all to wonder
What Jesus has in ' tore.
In my Fathers house, said he,
there are' mansions far above.
To us there shall be given
obedience and love.
Cod has a purpose for all
So we must answer his call.
He is asleeep in Jesus
Oh how sweet when we shall
meet

Imagine life
without
electricity
What an overwhelming problem it would be — because
you've come to dfcpend on electricity to be there ...
any time, every time!
It costs a lot to bring you this great dependability
in electric service. We must have highly trained
personnel and the very best facilities — both costly —
but the results are worth it. We could cut costs by
cutting corners here and there and sacrifice reliability
but you wouldn't want us to do that. Because then
you'd be getting only "pretty good" service. We feel
"pretty good" electric service would never substitute for
the SESCO excellence and reliability you're accustomed to.
Electricity is the biggest bargain in your budget.

The
LIONS
By: E.B. Musiek, Jr.
One of our better programs
was presented last Thursday
and we had a very small
crowd of Lions to hear It,
Of course it is all the fault
of the Attendance Committee,
with Lion Morris B. Elliott,
Chairman and Lions Henry
Westbrook, George Dodd,
Lewie Byers and Mike Sul-
livan serving with him.
Lion Glenn Stanley had as
his guest Lion Swanson from
the State of Minnesota as his
guest and also Lion Carlton
Jones of the Alto Lions Club.
We had a report from the
Lions Club Swimming Pool
and it is doing real well so
far this Reason. One of the
fine things that the Rusk Li-
ons can be proud of.
They never go out. He sits
in front of the TV and smokes
and she sits in front of the
TV and fumes.
Lion Jerry Landrum pre-
sented Pofessor Walter Steel
of the SMU School of Law in
Dallas. He talked to us about
the Supreme Court ruling that
will affect the patients in the
Rusk State Hospital, Their
ruling, as we understand it,
is that the patients in the
Maximum Security Unit are
the other part of the hospi-
tal. This is to say that those
civil committed patients can
get out of the hospital with
the doctor - stating that it is
O.K. Those in Maximum Se-
curity cannot do this and that
is what the ruling is all a-
bout. Professor Stell used as
an example someone being In
Maximum Security for may-
be wiriting hot-checks and
sometimes being put in the
hospital without the trial for
same. The person could spend
the rest of his life there. The
only way that you can get out
of Maximum Security is to
go back to the county where
you were sent and stand trial.-
regarding your sanity, re-
gardless what the doctors say.
This is bad in Professor
Steels opinion in that some-
times they stay in jail fof six
months before their trial is
heard and whatever progress
that has been made is some-
times ruined by being in jail
so long. This violates the
right of a speedy trial. Pro-
fessor Steel believes that this
Court decision will have a
drastic effect all over the
United Státes, We have a good
mental health code In Texas
but In hla opinion thli change
mads to ba made. Of course
this is one Lions opinion.
It seems that all of the laws
and Court decisions are being
made for the criminals bene,
fit and not the law abiding
Citizens.
We will have an outstand.
lng program Thursday with
Mr. Richard Long, Assistant
Special Agent in charge of the
FBI. In Dallas.
Do you really have color TV
sets for only $139?" asked
an incredulous customer,
"Sure.'' the salesman re-
plied, "what color would you
Uke?'
See you Thursday noon Pine-
view Restaurant.
