MOODY BLUES - Last week in
Viewpoint we talked about the long
periods of time when its overcast
and the sun doesn't shine and how it
affects the moods of many people.
So if you felt kind of blue and
depressed during the Christmas and
New Years holidays, the weather
might have had something to do with
it.
But moods aren’t just affected by
the weather, say researchers
Nearly everyone has their ups and
downs.
In fact, the average for bad moods
is three days out of Won average
Only 2 percent of those in the study
felt cheerful nearly every day, while
about 5 percent had bad moods on
four of five days.
So what can you do if you've hit
one of those periods when you’re
depressed?
Here are some suggestions from

TRAFFIC INCREASE - If you’ve
been thinking that traffic seems to
be getting worse here in Central
Texas, you’re right. It has
And it 's a trend going on all across
the nation Traffic is getting worse in
most parts of the country.
Here's why The U.S. had 22
million more drivers than it did 10
years ago
Women are also driving more.
Listen to this. Women 35 to 54 years
of age drive three times as much as
men the same age and are more
likely to drive to work
A Dime Box man, Billie Clyde
Bethany, 62, was seriously injured in
a one-vehicle accident two miles
south of Dime Box on FM 141 at 12:30
a.m. Sunday, Jan. 3.
DPS Trooper Bruce Oppermann
reported that the 1982 Pontiac Grand
Prix was southbound on FM 141 and
ran off the road on the right, struck a
private drive culvert and embank-
ment and went airborne, coming to
researchers:
Try some kind of aerobic exercise
or just doing some kind of strenuous
work that gets the blood pumping
Listening to some good music or
taking a hot bath or shower can also
help
Another good thing to do is to find
someone in worse shape that you
think you're in and help them.
But the research also found that
none of these things work entirely.
So we’ve all just got to realize that
nearly everyone gets the blues on the
average of several days a week So
we’re just going to have to convince
ourselves that the moodiness will
eventually pass and we'll start
feeling good again.

TRAFFIC DEATHS - Americans
had one of their safest years on the
highways in three decades in 1992
Both deaths and drunken driving
were down and use of seatbelts was
up
The fatality rate in the U.S. had
dropped to one-tenth of a percentage
point to 1.8 deaths per 100 million
miles of vehicular travel. And the
rate has been dropping for 10 years.
Officials blame much of the
decline to increased use of seatbelts,
encouraged through new state laws
and stepped up police enforcement,
and a decrease in the incidence of
alcohol-related traffic deaths.
Another factor, officials say, could
be due to the recession when people
tend to travel less and highway
deaths tend to decline during tight
times.
But the figures are definitely

symptoms, which usually include
sneezing, itchy eyes and head
congestion, is that it can turn into a
respiratory infection if it lasts long
enough.
And that’s what many allergy
sufferers are starting to get It

that include fever, coughing, head-
aches and sinus infection.

people have to pay for living in
cedar-infested Central Texas.
BANK ROBBERY - It may have
been pretty quiet for law enforce-
ment agencies over the Christmas
and New Years holidays But 1993
got off to an exciting start.
There was an armed bank robbery
shortly before noon at the First State
Bank in Dime Box.
But quick action by local
authorities resulted in the arrest of a
46-year-old suspect from Bastrop
who led them on a high-speed chase
before his capture.
The bank robber allegedly used a
B-B gun that looked just like the real
thing to hold up the bank, getting
away with just over $10,000 in cash,
which was stuffed into a briefcase.
Due to a good description of the
getaway vehicle and direction the
suspect was headed by a bank
officer, law enforcement officers
chased him down within minutes of
being notified and the suspect is
behind bars and the money has been
recovered.
What a way to start out the new
year in Lee County!

The U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture recently announced the national
peanut poundage quota for the 1993
marketing year as 1,496,000 tons
The quota is 44,000 tons less than last
year.
Keith Bjerke, administrator of
USDA's Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service, said
legislation requires the announce-
ment of the final national poundage
quota by Dec. 15.
The law also requires the national
rest in the barditch.
The driver did not have his seat
belt on and suffered chest bruises
and cuts resulting from the impact
from the steering wheel and
windshield, said Officer Opper-
mann.
The driver was taken to Lee
Memorial Hospital by B4M Ambu-
lance and was treated for injuries
and was later released.

HOTS TO COOLS - The weather
went from hots to cools New Years
Eve Day when an Arctic blast hit
Lee County and Central Texas early
Thursday afternoon.
The temperature dropped like a
rock when the cold front hit. It was in
the low 70s by early afternoon, but
by 5 p.m. the temperature had fallen
about 30 degrees to 41 degrees. And
by New Years Day it was down to
about freezing or a little lower in
places.
But we got off real easy weather-
wise in Central Texas compared to
places further north.
For instance, on Wednesday night,
Dec. 30 when our temperature was
an unusually warm 68 degrees, it
was about 90 degrees colder in
Montana where it got down to 22
degrees below zero.
We also didn’t get the ice, sleet and
heavy snow that hit other northern
states during the New Years
holidays.
What we have been getting,
however, is plenty of overcast skies
and more precipitation.
It’s reached the point where many
people have started counting the
hours of sunshine each week.
Not only did the temperature get up
to 80 degrees on Dec. 30, but we also
got an afternoon of sunny weather.
And then Sunday afternoon, Jan. 3,
we got some more sunshine.
And weather forcasters say we re
in for more rainy weather by about
mid-week.

CEDAR FEVER - If you've been
having more allergy problems than
normal for this time of the year, well
you’re not alone.
Lots of people I’ve talked to
around the county during the New
Years holidays have been com-
plaining about being all stopped up
from allergies.
What’s causing the misery for
many people is cedar fever, an
allergic reaction caused by pollina-
ting juniper trees or cedar. Most of
us call it cedar fever.
With all the rainy and misty
weather that we've had throughout
the holidays and into the new year,
you would think most of the cedar
pollen would have been washed out
of the air and off the ground
But apparently cedar pollen is
more powerful than the elements, so
we'll probably have to live with it for
another month or so until the
pollination is over.
The big problem with allergy
COUNTRY MUSIC - Giddings
Rotary Club members were pleas-
antly surprised at the large turnout
they had for the opening night of
their Country Music Variety Show
held at the Sons of Hermann Hall.
A big crowd turned out on a cold
night for the debut of the country
music show that the Rotarians plan
.j have on the first Monday of each
month.
From the applause and smiles on
the faces of the audience, it looks
like the opening show got off to a
great start.
There were local as well as area
performers, singing and playing
their favorite country tunes.
And the first show drew people
from all over the area as well,
indicating that this kind of enter-
tainment is sought after by not only
Lee Countians but people from all
over this part of the state.
Good, clean live entertainment is
getting harder and harder to find.
And it’s great to see that the
Rotarians are trying to provide a
place for this kind of performing
where families can be in a
smoke-free and alcohol-free atmos-
phere.
MINIMUM WAGE - Governor
Clinton wants to link minimum wage
to inflation, instead of waiting for
Congress to increase it in bigger
amounts but on less-frequent
schedules.
It probably won’t be presented to
Congress until the economy is well
on the road to recovery, but it'll be
on Clinton’s agenda
