JAMIE AND LOUISE REED
Prairie Rivers Musical
set for Saturday evening
The second performance of the Prairie Rivers
Musical season will be held this Saturday,
November 17. Jay Godwin, director of
the monthly shew presented
October through March,
reminds the public that
there is no admission to
the program. “We en-
courage area readers to
mark the third Saturday
of each month so they will
not miss all the fun and musi-
cal talent” he added. "We had a
great crowd last month with a stage
full of pickers, grinners, and singers.”
“Lipscomb fiddler Frankie McWhorter was un-
able to play last month because of eye surgery, but
he has committed to perform this Saturday,"
Godwin added. Higgins banker Phil Ridgway, who
sings and plays electric baas, is a regular enter-
tainer at the musical. Also expected from out of town
are Myron Merz and
Bart Sherrill from
Wellington.
“We’re hopeful that
we’ll have a singer/guitar
player from Wheeler,” reported
Godwin. “However his appearance is not
yet confirmed.” A number of other singers
and musicians from Canadian, the musical
regulars, are expected to perform, including
Venita and Hank McPherson, Wayne
Wright, Pat Popham, Lonnie Cox, Gaylon
Lynch, Scott Campbell, and Lana Graham,
“along with our super drummer, George
Briant, president of the First National Bank
of Canadian,” added Godwin.
The performance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Saturday in the Canadian Middle School Au-
ditorium at 404 S. 6th Street in Canadian. For
additional information, contact Jay Godwin in
Canadian at 806-323-6213.

Reeds to celebrate
Golden Wedding
Former Canadian residents Jamie and Louise Reed of Irving will
celebrate their SOth Wedding Anniversary on November 18. They were
married in PorUles, New Mexico on November 18,1961.
The Reeds lived in Canadian during the 1940s. 1960b and 1960s
A Come and Go Reception will be held in their home at 1833 Puritan
Dr in Irving, Texas 75061, from 2 to 4 o’clock in the afternoon on No-
vember 18.
Hosting the reception will be they daughters, Kathy Eley of Gar-
land, Ethel Kurtilla of Benton, AR and Patti Russell of Tucson, Ax.
“When?” Demanded a peeved 5
year old from the back seat of the
family car.'When can I be out of
this baby salt? I’m a big boy."
At 4’5” tall and weighing close
to 42 pounds, he is too large for the
convertible car safety seat that he
had ridden in since birth. From his
point of view he is a big boy—too
big for the “baby seat.”
Texas Department of Health
(TDH) child safety officials agree
with this kindergartner’s assess-
ment but caution that he is not yet
ready for just a seat belt
"Studies indicate that although
more and more parents are consci-
entious about putting infants and
toddlers in child safety seats,
there is a safety gap when it comes
to 4- to 8-year olds," says Johnny
Humphreys with the Safe Riders
Program at TDH. “Only about
10% of children in that age cate-
gory actually ride in booster
seats.”
When children outgrow child
safety seats, usually at about 40
pounds, most are then restrained
with a vehicle’s safety belts alone,
even though these restraints are
designed for adults and do not fit a
child properly.
“Children are not ready for
seat belts alone until they reach 80
pounds and are 4’ 9” tall,”
Humphrey said.
In a crash, children can actu-
ally suffer injuries from ill-fitting
seat belts. A recent study shows
that children 2 to 5 who are re-
strained only by the adult
seat-belt system were nearly four
times more likely to suffer serious
injuries in a crash than children
restrained in a child safety seat
Booster seats are crash-tested,
proven devices that raise the child
up so that the vehicle lap and
shoulder belts fit properly.
Booster seats provide correct fit
for a child in a vehicle safety belt
system.
The lap belt will be placed low
on the child's hips, rather than on
the child’s stomach. The shoulder
belt will cross the center of the
child's chest, and the child’s knees
will bend at the edge of the booster
seat, providing good comfort and
fit.
Children will like the sporty
look of today’s booster seats. An-
other positive from the child’s
point of view is that he or she can
see out the window of the vehicle.
Children are safer, and may actu-
ally enjoy the new, more grown-up
seat. Incidentally, those seats
should be in the back seat for max-
imum safety.
