Omicron Study Club
Presents School $5,000
At the school board meeting last
Thursday night Omicron Study Club
President Becky Milner presented
board president Dennis Love a check for
$5,100.
"We've had this money some eight

with a group who would like to see
baseball added to the school’s athletic
program. Spokesman for the group Ron
Love gave the board a petition with 1 (X)
names favoring the sport in high school.
Love said there were many students who
would like to play baseball through the
school athletic program.
He mentioned AAA schools like
Perrylon, Dalhart, Brownfield and
Mulcshoe began baseball programs this
year.
The board agreed to instruct athletic
director L. G. Wilson to research the
possibilities of adding baseball. It was
noted there would be considerable
budget increase and the competition the
baseball program would face with golf,
tennis and track programs the same time
of the school year.
Accompanying Love were Jay Am-
bum, Mike Culwell and Scott Burrow.
In other business the board:
Agreed to consolidate its bank ac-
counts to three in order to lower bank

Medical Helicopter
Attracts Crowd Here
An 11-month-old Tulia girl was
transferred Tuesday morning by Care
Link helicopter ambulance from
Swisher Memorial Hospital to a Lub-
bock hospital.
Dr. Steve Jones, the attending physi-
cian, said the child was admitted to the
local hospital's emergency room at 7:35
a. m. Tuesday. Her condition was stabi-
lized before she was moved from the
local hospital shortly after 9 a. m.
She was having "breathing prob-
lems."
The Tulia doctor’s initial diagnosis
was that the 11-month-old has epiglot-
tis, a severe throat infection. This illness
causes swelling which blocks off the
wind pipe, making breathing difficult.
Dr. Jones talked later Tuesday morn-
ing with medical personnel at Lubbock
General Hospital, where the girl was
taken. He learned that she "withstood
the trip well," had been admitted to the
hospital's intensive care unit and was in
stable condition.
The medical helicopter attracted a
crowd when it landed in the parking lot
west of Dr. Jones' clinic.

Animal Care
Today
Chocolate Can Be Dangerous
QUESTION: My son was about to give our dog a chocolate bar
as a reward when our neighbor told him not to. He said it could be
very dangerous and even fatal. Is this true?
ANSWER: Your dog is fortunate because your neighbor knew what
he was talking about. Chocolate certainly can be poisonous to dogs.
It contains theobromine, a caffeinelike substance toxic to both cats and
dogs. Four ounces of chocolate per 10 pounds of body weight (the size
of many small breeds), can cause nervouseness and twitching. Higher
dosages can cause involuntary twitching, urinating, seizures, and
even death. If you want to reward your dog, stick to the old standards;
a pat on the head or a biscuit.

Permit For Swisher Private Club
Opposed By Commissioners Court
Commissioners Court, during its
semi-monthly meeting Monday, unani-
mously adopted a resolution opposing

Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a
private club in Swisher County."
Signed by Commissioners F. L.
McGavock, A. G. House, Harvey Foster

"The reaction to the application for

proposed club.
"Swisher County has held numerous
'wet/dry elections' during the past 50
years. Those elections have always re-
sulted in the county remaining dry. This
is the wish of the majority of the Swisher
County citizens and the Commissioners
Court supports the majority view."

Panhandle Community Services, met
with the county governing body and

ices.

The Gift Of
Sight
An on-going educational scries on the care of your eyes.
This week’s important topic — plastic lenses.
Q.
A.
What type of glasses should be chosen to
alleviate red nose marks?
Since most of the weight of the glasses is in the
lenses, plastic or new high index plastic
materials provide the lightest weight lenses
possible. Choosing lightweight or thin metal
frames also can reduce the weight of the
glasses. Oversized nosepads made of 100%
silicone help distribute the weight of the
glasses better and reduce slipping. Keeping
frames in adjustment will help, too.
