Bob Murphey
The annual Cherokee County
History Dinner was held April 6 at
the First
Baptist
Church in
Jackson-
ville.
Guest
speaker
Bob
Murphey
of Nacog-
doches en-
tertained
attenders with his anecdotes of
life in East Texas.
"Nacogdoches is the home of the
zip code," he said. They had to
give it a number because no one
could spell it," he told his audi-
ence.
Mr. Murphey told his audience
that what he has learned about
history is that no one has lived
over a page and a half in history.
The speaker quoted Will Rogers
in closing with that "Ain't much to
a man or woman who is not proud
of their home town."
"I love being a volunteer and was
a volunteer fireman for 38 years. I
served as chief part of that time.
There are always some people
who are go getters. But, go givers
are the people who give of their
time and money to the place they
call home.
"Life is 10 percent of what you
make it and 90 percent of how you
take it," Mr. Murphey concluded
in saying.
John Allen Templeton served as
master of ceremonies and pre-
sented Distinguished Service
Awards to Dr. Jane Pirtle, Ann
Chandler and himself.

Weight Loss
Puzzles Doctors
ATLANTA, GA -- Doctors were sur-
prised when two separate studies found
that a natural dietary supplement could
help cause significant weight loss.
Although not conclusive, both studies
found that patients receiving the formula
called Bio-Rex 3000™lost more than
twice as much weight as those in a control
group on the same fat reduced diet. Nei-
ther group was instructed to decrease the
amount of food they ate or to increase
thcirexercise levels. An article published
in the American Journal of Clinical Nu-
trition says that you don't have to de-
crease the amount of food you eat to lose
weight, provided that you limit the fat.
According to a spokesperson for Ph il I ips
Gulf Corporation, the exclusive North
American distributor of Bio-Rex 3000,
the company is considering additional
studies in order to get federal approval to
make pharmaceutical claims, Currently,
weight loss claims for the Bic-Rex 3000
supplement arc limited. However, with
the requisite approval, the company could
say that Bio-Rex 3000 decreases sugar
cravings, increases metabolism and inter-
feres with the body's ability to produce
excess fat.
Bio-Rex 3000 is currently available as
a dietary supplement and plan in pharma-
cies and nutrition stores or by calling

Thank goodness our schools are the centers of our community. It should be that way!
Aren't our children the centers of our lives? Whether we are parents, grandpar-
ents, educators or friends, we are right to place the education of children at the
forefront of our community's life.
I am running for a second term as a member of the Rusk ISD School Board because
I am proud of our schools and community. We have the best, most caring
educators, parents and friends of education anywhere. We all are intent on giving
our children the exceptional knowledge, skills and independence they will need to
be as successful as they can be in whatever field they choose. Together we have
helped our children excel both before and after commencement.
I would like to continue to be a part of our community partnership in education
because my experience and background bring a unique understanding of many
facets of the learning process.
