Whoever heord of freezers ond microwave ovens os
weapons? The smart consumer who wants to win the
battle of the budget, that's who!
"Buying bargains in quantity and freezing
tham...innovative use of leftovers...and cooking 'from
scratch' are among top tips offered by appliance
industry home economists...", reports a news release
by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers.
The kitchen is a veritable aresenal of "artillery" to be
used in the fight ogainst high food costs, especially the
freezer. Day-old baked goods actually improve with
freezing because thawing adds moisture; homemade TV
dinners, pot pies and freezing of leftovers for
emergencies con be lifesavers. In this time of
awareness of an energy shortage, it is well to note that
small appliances and the quick-cooking microwave oven
save on power. Blenders are especially valuable for
salvoging leftovers, which can be pureed ond made into
soup bases, sundae toppings or baby food.
So before you surrender to inflation, think again.
There are a thousand strategies available, if you will but
look, and many are as close as your kitchen.

Award Systea
Is Offered
RHS Students
Students at Rusk High School
will be rewarded academically
for attending classes this year
under a new policy designed to
cut down on absentees.
Under the new "attendance
award" system, a student will
not have to take the semester
test in any class if he has a
grade average of 90-100 in that
class and has no more than
three absences for the 18-week
period.
A student with an average of
80-90 may skip the test if he has
no more than two absences and
one with a 70-80 average can
miss the test if he has only one
absence.
In determining eligibility to
be exempt from a test, three
tardies to any class will count
as one absence to that class.
The policy states that an
eligible student may take the
semester test if he wishes
"with the understanding that
the test score could raise his or
her average but not lower it."
Perfect attendance in a class
during any six-week period will
bring the student's grade in
that class up one step, for
example from a B+ to an A- or
C- to C.
If the average is below
passing, three points will be
added to the number grade for
those with perfect attendance.
Re-Evalation
Of Property
Talked Here
Representatives of taxing
authorities from throughout
the county met with county
commissioners last Thursday
night to hear a presentation on
tax re-evaluation by Barney
Baker of Professional Ap-
praisal Co., Fort Worth.
Baker recommended that
the county begin the program
of re-evaluation with other
governmental agencies to join
later
First step, he said, would be
to determine the real value of
property.
Baker said that after re-
evaluation, about one third of
the taxpayers will pay lower
taxes, about one third will pay-
higher and the rest will remain
about the same.
The professional appraiser
accompanied his program with
a slide presentation entitled
"Taxation with Equalization."
Rusk Mobile
Homes Opens
For Business
Al Warr of Nacogdoches has
opened this city's newest
business. The new owner-
manager of Rusk Special
Order Mobile Homes has
worked in this field since 1966.
"Actually, my experience
with mobile homes goes back
further than that, because in
the early years of my
marriage, my wife and I
moved around a lot and we had
our own mobile home," he
states.
Warr was in show business
with Allied Artists for 11 and
one-half years. He is a native of
Center and a graduate of
Stephen F. Austin State
University.
"This community of people
has been the friendliest I've
ever seen." he says. "Every-
one has been so cooperative
and helpful in getting our
company established here. I
am so grateful for the warm
welcome we have received."
Warr's family includes his
wife, June, a daughter. Tara
and son. Jeff. His daughter is a
senior at Nacogdoches where
she is drum major of the band.
Jeff is 13-years old. "We will
maintain our home in Nacog-
doches until the school year
ends and then we will be
moving to Rusk." Warr states.
"We hope to compliment the
business community with a
unique operation. It is a
contrast that we should be a
service for today's transient,
mobile society, with a business
located on the historic site of
New Birmingham's Southern
Hotel," he points out.
"We have been told that
many famous people have
walked this site and we hope
that everyone will come by to
see us and let us keep the
tradition of a location noted for
its hospitality."
The firm la located on U.S.
Highway 69 south Rt the city
limits. The staff includes Allen
Michetetti and Jnhn Steed.
From Tht

Don

E.B. Musick, Jr.
With all the beauty contests
one Miss America aspirant told
the photographer "You haven't
photographed my best side
yet." "Sorry" sighed the
weary cameraman "But how
can I with you sitting on it?"
Our Honorable Tail-Twister
fined everybody twenty-five
cents last Thursday and the
purpose was to buy two travel
sweaters for the Rusk Eagles
Football Team. It seems that
the Tail-Twister got about half
and you had better watch out
this Thursday.
Then Lion Ike Daniel tried to
explain to Lion Frank Howell
the program of two weeks ago.
He told Lion Frank quote
"When the pioneers started to
settle this country the Indians
were running things pretty
much their own way. There
was no air pollution, no smog,
no water pollution from city
wastes. Taxes were unheard
of. There was no such thing as
a national debt. The land was,
free; and, when one place.'
failed to produce a living for
the tribe, the Indians simply
moved to a more productive
spot. Among the Indians, too,
the women did all the work and
the men were regarded as
being the important ones. Are
there any questions?" Lion
Frank asked "How did the
pioneers think that they could
possibly improve on a system
like that?" So that was what
the program was all about two
weeks ago.
After this Lion Paul B. Cox
gave a bit of poetry something
about a Mr. McGee. We had no
idea that Lion Paul Cox could
Einllmit
Fir Schnls
Near 1,'
quote poetry for so long. A
really fine program. Then Lion
Secretary Leon Pledger could
not stand it so he had to give us
a rather lengthy bit of poetry to
show that he was everybit as
good as Lion Paul. And he was
very good also. So the Lions
found out that if a program
does not show all you have to
do it call on Lions Paul and
Leon to recite poetry, and
you've got it made. There was
still one other Lion that had to
show that he too could recite
poetry and that was Lion
Clovis Stewart and he brought
down the house. Then it was
time to hear Lion Raymond
Cooper.
Lion Raymond stated that
there are many different ways
good international relations
can be established throughout
Lionism: through Youth Ex-
change programs, United Na-
tions clubs, CARE programs,
sister clubs, etc. However, in
his opinion our own annual
International Convention is, in
itself, the best means of
creating good international
relations among different peo-
ples. Lion Raymond went on to
say that we are now establish-
ed in 148 countries or
geographical locations, most of
which are represented at our
International Conventions. He
had just returned from this
meeting and had no idea as to
what went on there.
One advantage of being
married is that you can't make
a fool of yourself without
knowing it.
See you Thursday at the New
Southern Motor Hotel.

Need parents of John F.
BUCHAN, born 26 Sept. 1837
(believe In Ala. or Ga.) died in
the 1st battle of Civil War,
Mansfield, La. 8 April 1064.
Very little known on the
Buchans, probably because of
a statement made by the
brother of John Buchan, saying
"there was a family argument
back in Ala. and their father
said he would move to Texas
and change his name from
Buchanan to Buchan. How-
ever. there is a Buchan listed
in the Pulaski County, Gao.
1850 census, listed as: John
Buchan Jr .. aged 33 born in Ga.
Wife shown as Harty (? > aged
33 born Ga. They children John
II age 13. James age 11,
Nancey age 8. William H. age
5. Cathy age 3 and Richard age

The Buchans supposedly
moved to Texas, Harrison Co.,
near Jefferson, Texas between
1830 and 1860. In the Harrison
Co. 1860 census they are listed
as: F. Buchan age 44. wife A.J.
Sermon Topic
Is Announced
The Rev. L. Allen Holley.
pastor of the Rusk Presby-
terian Church has announced
his sermon topic for the 11 a.m.
Sunday worship service. He
will speak on "Good News for
True Seekers." Jeremiah 29:
12-14.
The Rev. Holley extends an
invitation to everyone to attend
the services of this church.
A total of 1,392 students
enrolled in Rusk schools
Monday, according to reports
from the three school princi-
pals.
Dick McGaughey, elemen-
tary school principal, reported
the largest enrollment with 559
students. "This includes 27
students enrolled for the first
semester in the kindergarten
program," he says. "We had 67
kindergarten age children
register to attend, however the
turn out was not as we
expected." The remaining 40
students registered in the
program will attend the second
semester.
McGaughey pointed out that
parents with students eligible
to attend the kindergarten
program could still register at
the schol. "Children from low
income families are still
eligible for the free lunch
program," he also reminded.
Doyle Brooks, junior high
school principal, reported a
student enrollment of 383.
Sixth, seventh and eighth
grade students attend the
Junior High school.
At Rusk High School an
enrollment count showed 450
students, according to E. D.
Grimes, acting principal.

A nephew of my John F.
Buchan gave one of his grand-
daughters a resume of what he
knew of the family history. It
reads in part: "great-grand-
father moved from Alabama to
Texas many years before the
Civil War. Was said he had a
disagreement with his family
and would change his name
when he got to Texas from
Buchanan to Buchan. He was
married and had a family, and
his wife was pure French, her
name was BUREN (first or
last name? • doesn't fit any
initials listed in census) They
settled in Harrison Co., near
Jefferson, Texas on a farm.
There during the early years,
he (Buchan Sr.) had a duel
with a man named Wall. They
had been hunting and had a
dispute. To settle it, they rode
toward each other on their
horses shooting at each other
firing their guns. Buchan hit
him and killed him. There was
nothing done about it, the
newspapers just said Buchan
killed Wall in a duel."
Can anyone help me on this?
Are there still Buchans in the
Harrison County area? Family
tradition says that the Tejos
Village on Lake O'the Pines is
on part of the present
"Cooner" land between the two
Cypress Rivers. Both the
Buchans and Cooners were
supposed to have owned at one
time, both left it, didn't ever
sell, and it was later sold for
back taxes.
Will appreciate hearing from
anyone working any of these
lines.
