BITTER CARE FOR CHILDREN
The hearings that are being held by the House Human
Resources Committee on conditions in Texas child-care
centers show all too clearly that the state needs better
standards and better enforcement of those standards
for its child-care institutions.
Some of the centers apparently operate on an
unscientific, personalized basis in the care of the
children. For example, evidence brought o-jt by the
investigating commmittee indicates that some of the
children in the centers have been mistreated beyond the
needs of discipline.
The Chronicle believes that this is not '.he way to care
for disturbed young people. In fact, such methods run
the risk of the exacerbating the very conditions that
were the reason for the child's having been put in the
institution in the first place.
The evidence that the committee is bringing out in its
hearings further points out the critical need in the state
-growing more urgent every year-for more attention to
be paid to the overall problem and the needs of the
Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation.
MHMR does not have the responsibility for overseeing
the operation of the child-care centers, but the findings
that are being made in the centers relate so frequently
to the functions of MHMR that they focus attention on
the whole field of mental health care in Texas, and it
becomes apparent that among the most urgent needs is
that of MHMR for an expansion of its facilities and
personnel.
For example, if MHMR could expand its services, then
Harris County could have the mental health clinic that it
so bodly needs now and will need increasingly in the
future.

From The
Musick, Jr.
We had as guests last
Thursday Lion Raymond Ken
dull and Mr Cary Smith,
director of Music ami Youth of
the First Baptist Church,
Rusk, Texas
Seeing Lion Ray brings back
memories of blood, sweat .irid
tears in the construction of
permanent type pens and
chutes at the rodeo grounds
Many, many hours of hard
labor was put in
Lion Frank Merriwether
presented Mr W R Gilliam of
Parks and Wildlife as our
program. Mr. Gilliam pre-
sented a film entitled "Fishing
for the Future "
Most of us can remember
just a few years ago there was
no fishing except in the creeks
and rivers, now we have lakes
all around us And with this
more and more fishing. Good
fishermen know that the best
fishing is in the brush in
shallow water
It seems that a lake will
reach a peak in producing fish
and then when this happens for
some reason it begins to
decline When declining re-
stocking with garre fish is
certainly not the answer
Specialist are studying why
this is happening We were
shown pictures of radio
transmitters being installed in
the head of large catfish for
study of their habits The
incision was sewed up and
sulfa drug put on this to keep
infection out and then the fish
was released. They can then
trace the fish daily
Food for fish begins with
plants and life Forage and
rough fish feed on the roughage
of plants. The large game fish
feed on the small fish When a
lake becomes overcrowded
with fish it is bad news.
Something must be done and
usually the first thing is to get
rid of the rough fish by
poisoning. Poison is sprayed on
the water and it cuts off the
oxygen and the fish come to the
top to be taken out of the lake
Rough fish are usually carried
off by the tons when this :s
done This process -s very
expensive. Then after this
process it is very necessary to
restock the take immediately
with game fish before the
tough fish get another start.
The Game and Fish Depart-
ment are experimenting with
other fish for this area. The
muskie and the northern pike
doughnuts, these plans to be
perfected at a later date.
Joe Rozelle, one of the
delegates to the Kiwanis
Convention at Waco, gave an
excellent report, especially
matters which would be helpful
to the local club in the way of
interesting members to attend
and learning more about
Kiwanis.
Webb Finley, Program
Chairman for August, an-
nounces that Jimmie Cone,
favorite former member from
Jacksonville, will be the
speaker at the next meeting
which will be held Tuesday,
Aug. 28th, at the Pineview
Restaurant at 12:00 noon.
are two that have been brought
in from other States. It is hoped
that these fish might help
control the rough fish. The
walleye is another fish that has
been brought in and it is
excellent eating and good sport
These are going great in some
lakes.
Did you know that you could
milk eggs frum catfish?
Well you can. Pictures were
shown where this was done
from the females and and
males were nulked. These two
items were carefully prepared
for transport to a fish
hatchery. There eggs were
hatched in A to 14 days
depending on the temperature.
The fry usually wind up in
ponds where the water has
lieen fertilized and there they
remain until of size to go into
the lakes.
The Redfish is also a good
prospect along with the
stripped bass that was im-
ported from Maryland
So on and on it goes to try and
provide the sport of fishing for
all who enjoy the sport
A fisherman sent his catch
from Florida to his home in
South Carolina He wrote on
the box: "If not delivered in
three days, forget it "

1 am trying to get in touch
with the descendants of James
and John WHITLOCK, sons of
Elizabeth Whitlock. They had a
brother whose name was
WILLIAM HENRY WHIT-
LOCK. William Henry was my
great grandfather. I have been
told that John and James left
Marshall County, Alabama
and came to the Lufkin area;
and that possibly Elizabeth
and her daughter also moved
to your area, but it might not
have been at the same time.
Elizabeth Whitlock was born
about 1843. John Whitlock was
born about 1866; Mary Jane
Whitlock was born about 1868;
James Whitlock was born
about 1874.
If anyone can help me to
determine what happened to
these people, I would certainly
appreciate hearing from you. I
am working on a family
history.

THE BOOK NOOK
By Gerald Chapman-Librariaa
If you read "To The Top Of
The World," an account of the
Plaisted Polar Expedition,
perhaps you recall the phrase
"he and his wife had agreed
that collecting experience was
more rewarding than col-
lecting stocks and bonds.
If you are adventuresome
and have money and oppor-
tunity, I would agree. But most
of us must collect experiences
by vicarious living. And most
often this is through living the
experiences of others in a good
book.
A new book just arrived may
provide vicarious experience.
"The Curse of Kings" by
Victoria Holt is a romance
blended with adventure and
suspense in a search for
ancient treasures in the land of
the Pharaohs. For centuries,
the Pharaoh tombs had been
haunted by a curse: whoever
disturbed the sleep of the kings
would die. Read how Judith
Osmond found the strange
power of the Curse of the
Kings.
"Today and Tomorrow
and..." by Isaac Asimov
discusses the mysteries of the
biological clock, the practical
use of space exploration, the
sports of the future, the
importance and impact of
science fiction-these are just a
few of the subjects covered in
the thirty-two essays. The book
is done with clarity and
vitality, and understandable
for the non-scientist.
A new Young Adult Literary
Guild selection "Lydia," by
Clare Darcy, is a romance of
Regency London. When she
arrives at her grandmother's
former estate in England,
impoverished Lydia Leyland
meets the estate's current
owner, Lord Northover, and,
unaware of his position and
reputation, enlists his aid in
her plan to find a wealthy
husband.

I "Without God, wr cjnnot;

So said Augustine, many centuries ago
Therein lies the prefect balance between
God's sovereignty and man's freedom.
God will never surrender Hts sovereignty,
but Mr will nut force Himself upon any
moil's will
The question is often asked, "How much
faith does it take to save a man?" Th
best answer is, "It takes .ill the faith
you have in the right PERSON.''
The rich ruler trusted riches no
salvation. But the Samaritan woman
trusted wholly in Jesus, and the result
was her salvation.
You are a part of that fateful equation
"Without Gud, you cannot.
without you He will not "
Oddly enough, the blasphemous "God Is
Dead' idea has done some good in our
old world. For one thing it caused
Billy Graham to say, "He can't be dead

But some concepts of God deserve
