THE LEADER
:j Public Notice
•! The Texas Water Commis-
sion (“TWC”) sets drinking
< water standards and has de-
termined that the presence of
»■ microbiological contami-
! nants are a health concern at
. certain levels of exposure. If
water is inadequately treat-
: ed, microbiological contami-
I nants in that water may
I cause disease. Disease symp-
; toms may include diarrhea,
: cramps, nausea, and possibly
: jaundice, and associated
1 headaches and fatigue. These
T symptoms, however, are not
: just associated with disease-
t causing organisms in drink-
: ing water, but also may be
I caused by a number of fac-
I tors other than your drinking
! water. The TWC has set en-
I forceable requirements for
' treating drinking water to re-
> duce the risk of these adverse
'health effects. Treatment
such as filtering and dism-
al fecting the water removes or
' destroys microbiological con-
■ taminants. Drinking water
which is treated to meet
TW'C reauirements is associ-
- ated with little to none of this
risk and should be consid-
. ered safe.
The City of Emory failed
; to meet the minimum treat-
*■ ment technique requirements
< for the month of August
; 1993. Specifically, the City of
< Emory allowed the turbidi-
< ty of the filtered water to ex-
ceed 0.5 NTU in more than
5.0 percent of the measure-
- incuts made during the
'< month.
The City of Emory has ap-
- plied for a combination
grant/'ioan with Farmers
Home Administration. This
grant/loan has been ap-
proved and renovation of the
existing water plant will be-
£ gin in the near future.
receiving updates, changes or
address, name changes, etc.
Every two years new voter
registration certificates are
mailed to every registered
voter in Rains County. Many
of these are returned, which
have to be processed.
Vehicle and boat & motor
sales tax, which is collected at
the time of transfer of owner-
ship, must be processed and
sent to state comptroller.
As we stated at the begin-
ning of our statement, our jobs
are state-related, but we are
paid by the county. But what it
really boils down to is serving
the publ:; when they enter this
office. This is what our
customers are expecting from
us: service and being open and
available. With limited person-
nel, we will be unable to pro-
vide the service which our
customers have had in the past
years and expect from us.
We encourage you, the
public and taxpayers of Rains
County, to please attend the
public budget hearing on Fri-
day, September 17, 1993. We
realize this meeting is being
held during the fair and on a
football game night. However,
the game starts at 8:00 p.m.
and is a home game. Please

ALSO THIS letter from
Shirley Allred Smith: ' 'Dearest
Kat & Staff, I know your
mailbag must be overflowing
with responses to the letter
written by James C. Isham. I
decided that I could not let the
opportunity pass to let you
know what the Leader has
meant and continues to mean -
a letter from home. Having
been overseas a number of
years and living in various
places, the weekly paper was
always something my family
and ! anticipated—and we have
always looked forward to read-
ing it from cover to cover.
Even my husband, who has
never resided in Emory', reads
it all, including the ads! Kat,
you have done such a tremen-
dous service to the community,
and I commend you and the
others of the Hill family since
the paper was established in
1887. On a personal note, in
July, when I was 'home ’ brief-
ly, daughter Elizabeth and I
went by to visit one of my very
favorite high school teachers
(also a dear friend). We had a
wonderful visit, and she re-
ceived a call from one of her
sons, who sent his regards to
me-not having had the plea-
sure of seeing each other in a
number of years. Then upon
returning back home to Michi-
gan, I had a couple of Leaders
awaiting me, and what a nice
surprise to see his young, smil-
ing face along with other mem-
bers of his class on the back
page, where they were having
a reunion in August. Kat, Eliz-
abeth and I were by to see you
the Sat. morn we were in town,
and sorry to have missed you—
but Les, grandson Brandon
Baker, and I enjoyed our chat
with you a few days later. In
closing, thank you again for
the wonderful job you are do-
ing. Keep 'our ’ paper just the
way it is!! With respect and ad-
miration, love, as always,

Shrlners to be
in Emory
Sept. *17-18
Carl Frand .en has been ap-
pointed to serve as local chair-
man of the annual Hospital
Drive for Hella Temple Shrine
to be held Friday and Saturday,
Sept. 17 and 18, I993, at the
intersection of Hwys. I9 & 69
in Emory.
The Shriners operate 22
Hospitals for Crippled
Children throughout the
United States, Hawaii. Mexico
and Canada and provide spe-
cialized care in orthopedics.
The organization also supports
three Burns Institutes, one of
which is in Galveston. Three
of the orthopedic hospitals are
working on the treatment of
spinal cord injuries.
Shriners’ Hospitals for Crip-
pled Children are open to any
child, regardless of race or re-
ligion, for whom treatment at
another facility would place an
undue financial burden on his
or her family. There is no
charge to the patient, parent or
any third party for anything re-
ceived at a Shriners’ Hospital
Many Shrine orthopedic
hospitals are affiliated with
outstanding medical schools so
that they may more effectively
conduct research into the cause
and treatment or crippling dis-
eases.
The three-fold purpose of
each Shrine Burns Institute is
(l) to treat severely burned
children; (2) to conduct re-
search and improve methods of
burn treatment; and (3) to edu-
cate and train other medical
personnel in the care and treat-
ment of burn injuries. The ulti-
mate endeavor is to provide
quality care so that children
may have a better chance to
lead useful, productive lives.
In 1965 only one out of two
patients with a 50 percent burn
survived. Today, patients with
as high as 90 percent burns are
being saved.
The total operating budget
for all the Shrine Hospitals and
Burns Institutes for 1993 is
$336 million.
CHAMBER
Continued
basketball game, bicycle run,
juried art show, silent auction,
band concert, singing groups,
pancake breakfast, .silent auc-
tion and boot drive, to name a
few. The chamber will be in
charge of the silent auction.
The board voted to take out a
quarter-page ad in the Rains
County Leader for $84.00 to
promote the appreciation day.
David Nino and Bill Kells
gave an update on the upcom-
ing bass tournament on Lake
Fork, sponsored by the cham-
ber to benefit the scholarship
fund. Over $1,000 in cash and
prizes will be awarded, as well
as an optional big bass pot. The
flyers with the entry form,
fees, rules and regulations
have been drawn up by Jeremy
Nino. After one correction, the
flyers will be ready in time to
distribute them during the fair.
Marty Graves was present to
request a list of the chamber
membership to give to ETSU,
which is under the impression
that Rains County does not
have a chamber. Graves said
she set them straight and told
them she would get a mailing
list for them.
Wolfe informed the board of
a lakeshore clcan-up day being
held at Lake Tawakoni on Sat.,
Oct. 2, followed by a clean-up
party. Since our chamber rep-
resents all of Rains County,
she asked members to sign up
to clean a designated portion of
Lake Tawakoni’s shoreline on
that day, from 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Several of those present signed
up.
A committee composed of
Quincy Foster, Neva Adcock
and Marty Graves was appoint-
ed to determine requirements
for an RISD student to qualify
for the chamber of commerce’s
$500 scholarship to be award-
ed in May 1994.
Doris Wilson updated the
board on the annual mammog-
raphy screening unit. Last year
two different companies held
mammography screenings
here, one at the fairgrounds
and one on the square. Wilson
said Dr. Nelson said the mo-
bile mammography unit could
park near his clinic, and that he
would also give free blood-
pressure checks on that day.
However, it was the consensus
of those present that the high
visibility of the mobile unit be-
ing parked on the square gener-
ates m >re walk-in participants.
Also, the chamber will go
ahead with Fern Check since
they had already contacted the
chamber.
Dr. Nelson will be contacted
to see if he is interested in
holding the flu shot clinic this
year, since we didn’t have a lo-
cal doctor last year.
Meeting adjourned.
Emory Bank of
America Texas
Adds ATM
Emory, Texas, September
1, 1993 -- Bank of America
Texas has introduced 24-hour
banking at its Emory Branch
with the addition of a VERSA-
TELLER automated teller ma-
chine (ATM.)
The ATM, which is accessi-
ble to handicapped customers
and offers customers the option
of Spanish language screens, is
located at 107 North Texas.
“Customers can use their
VERSATEL card to make de-
posits and withdrawals, trans-
fer hinds between accounts and
make balance inquiries," said
Michael Holcomb, manager of
the Emory Branch.
Bank of America Texas cus-
tomers may use their VER-
SATEL cards free of charge at
more than 260 ATMs in Texas,
and 4,500 ATMs throughout
11 Western states including
Hawaii. In addition, cus-
tomers have access to more
that 80,000 PLUS System
ATMs throughout the United
States, Canada, and selected
international locations.
“Our customers are invited
to stop by the branch for a
demonstration of the VER-
SATELLER ATM and to sign
up for the VERSATEL card,”
Holcomb said.
Bank of America Texas
began operations on May 9,
1991, when BankAmerica ac-
quired certain assets and
liabilities of Village Green Na-
tional Bank of Houston, from
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. It acquired cer-
tain assets and liabilities of
Commerce Federal Savings
Association on July 12, 1991,
and of Sunbelt Federal Savings
on April 10, 1992, both from
the Resolution Trust Corpora-

Meeting
Petition Drive Launched to Have
Breast Cancer Made National Priority
The following article is be-
ing printed at the request of
Dorothy Poole, who is recov-
ering from breast cancer
surgery.
The American Cancer socie-
ty has joined forces with others
in the National Breast Cancer
Coalition in “Campaign ’93”,
a drive to collect petitions ask-
ing President Clinton to declare
breast cancer a national priority
and to develop a comprehen-
sive strategy to end the
epidemic.
Volunteers hope to collect
the signatures of 127,000 Tex-
ans. Nationwide, the goal is to
collect 2.6 million signatures.
These signatures represent the
number of women currently
living with breast cancer--1.6
million survivors and 1 million
who the National Breast Can-
cer Coalition estimates have
the disease but have not yet
tion. On February 1, 1993, the
bank acquired substantially all
of the Texas branches and de-
posit liabilities, plus certain
assets of First Gibraltar Bank,
FSB.
Bank of America Texas is a
subsidiary of BankAmerica
Corporation, which has more
than 2,200 branches in ten
western states. At December
31, 1992, BankAmerica had
assets of approximately *181
billion and deposits of approx-
imately 124 billion.
Bank of America Texas cur-
rently operates 259 branches in
Texas.

been diagnosed.
The petitions will be sent
from the American Cancer
Society’s Division office in
Austin to Washington, where
they will be presented to Presi-
dent Clinton during National
Breast Cancer Awareness
Month in October. The dead-
line for submitting the petitions
to the Society's Division office
is Sept. 15.
The coalition hopes the peti-
tions will prompt President
Clinton to address the need for
more research and the inclu-
sion of breast cancer in the na-
tional health-care reform plan.
Breast cancer is the most
prevalent form of cancer
among women and is second
only to lung cancer in the
number of women it kills each
year. The American Cancer
Society estimates one in nine
women will develop breast
cancer by age 85.
Women can greatly increase
their chances for survival
though early detection. The
American Cancer Society
recommends that women have
a screening mammogram by
age 40. Women 40 to 49
should have a mammogram
every other year, and women
over 50 should have one every
year.
In addition, a clinical
physical examination of the
breast is recommended every
three years for women 20 to 40
and eveiy year for women over
40. The Society also recom-
mends monthly breast self-
examination for women 20
years or older.
For more information on the
petition drive or breast cancer,
contact your local American
Cancer Society office, or call
1-800 ACS-2345.
Letters can be written to
President Clinton.
