To Meet Monday
Those of us blessed with
good health sometimes
appear cruel and neglectful
of the less fortunate. Too
often, like the priest and the
Levite in the story of the
Good Samaritan, we look the
other way. or cross the street
to avoid meeting them.
But when it comes to the
bottom line, we usually dig
down and contribute to help
these people, and this is
especially true of public
support of the North Texas
Rehabilation Center in Wi-
chita Falls.
We are so fortunate to have
the Rehab Center within
driving distance. Here the
handicapped of all ages
receives physical, occupa-
tional and speech language
therepy.
The S600.000 annual budget
is met with private contribu-
tions. the Easter Seal Drive,
the crippled Childrens Live-
stock Auction, the annual
Telethon, a Ride N' Tie event
By Ruby L. Robertson
at the Whittenburg Ranch,
the Easter Seal Run. a
Skate-a-Thon. a celebrity
auction, a rummage sale and'
a wine and cheese tasting
party.
The center was first opened
in 1948 by the Wichita Falls
Kiwanis Club in the
basement of Memorial Audi-
torium. Rancher Tom B.
Medders was attending a
national convention of the
Kiwanis Clubs and saw what
the Chicago clubs were doine
tor cerebral palsy patients at
a clinic operated by the
Kiwanis there, and was
inspired to do likewise.
The first patients were
cerebral palsy patients but
therapy was soon available
for stroke victims, accident
victims and many others.
Last year the center treated
579 patients with the staff of
24 people.
Archer County has long
been represented on the
board of directors bv James
Harvey and Carlton McKin-
ney. Gary Ledyard replaced
McKinney last year.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED
TO NOVOCAINE?
The vast majority of dental
treatments are done with
local anesthetic. It’s safe and
easy to use, and the patient
is comfortable and conscious.
The whole system is not
affected, only a specific area:
there no side affects, such as
grogginess, and the loss of
sensation in the localized
area does not last for a long
time after the work is done.
The anesthetic is injected at
or near the point where the
dentist is going to be
working. The nerves in the
area are anesthetized-there
is a loss of sensation only is a
"localized are”. The patient
can respond to instructions,
is conscious of the work
being done, but doesn't feel
it.
Most people associate local
anesthesia with Novocaine
(the scientific name is
Procaine), which was, in fact,
staple for many years.
Nowadays, however. Novo-
caine is seldom used. We’re
come a long way in dental
anesthesia. Procaine has
been replaced by safer and
more effective local anesthe-
tics. The most commonly
used today is Lidocaine
(commercially, often called
Xylocaine), which is stronger
Procaine and thus can
achieve the same effect with
a lesser dosage.

Ocean water rises twice a day along most
shores to produce high tides It is said to be
flooding as it pushes over low-lying rocks and
sloping beaches
In most places, the ocean drops back or
ebbs twice a day leaving standing water in
tidal pools These pools of standing water are
rich in a variety of organisms
Under loose stones or debris mollusks
crabs and other animals seek shelter Tiny
fish dart back and forth across the bottom
Many of these fish appear to be clinging to
stones On the lower part of their bodies, they
nave fins which are |0ined together to form a
sucker These little fish are galled qobies or
mudsktppers
Another tidal pool tish is called a Bienny
Blennies look like gobies, but they do not have
a well-developed sucker on the underside
They creep about in shallow water, using their
fins as legs

Glass is manufactured from the following
materials sand soda limestone, or chalk
Chemically glass consists of silicates with
alkaline and alkaline-earth oxides When the
materials in their correct proportions are
melted care must be taken that they do not

Many many formulas tor the manufacture of
