A simple slretch may be the
only tNng stondlng between
you and an exercise program
you can live with over a long
period of time.
Many people get started on
an exercise, jogging or walk-
ing program and stop wit Nn a
short time because they get
sore. The soreness comes from
strained muscles that weren't
"warmed up" before beginning
the activity.
Stretching Is easy to do, but
there Is a right and wrong way
to do It. The right way Is a re-
laxed, sustained stretch. The
wrong way Is to bounce up
and down or stretch to the
point of pain.
When you begin, spend 10-30
seconds In an easy stretch. Go
to the point where you feel a
mild tension and relax as you
hold the stretch. This type of
stretch reduces muscular
tightness and helps the mus-
cles get ready for the
developmental stretch.
After an easy stretch, you
move dowly kito a
developmental stretch, where
you move a fraction of an Inch
further until you again feel a
mild tension and hold for
10-30 seconds. The develop-
mental stretch flne-tifies the
muscles and Increases flex-
ibility.
Remember, no bouncing or
either type of stretch!
Don't hold your breath while
strechlng either. Breathing
should be slow and rhythmical
If you're bending forward to
stretch, exhale, bend forward
and then breathe slowly as
you hold the stretch.
At first youll want to silently
count the seconds for each
stretch so that you hold the
proper tension for a long
enough time. But later you
will find It possible to stretch
by the way It feels, rather
than having to count.
Once you stretch, youV be
"warmed-up" and ready to do
your exercise. And the next
day you wont have the dis-
comfort of sore muscles.

An Apple for the Teocher.
How Ironic to think that an In-
nocent little apple, coild hove
been the very thing that
coused oir National tragedy
that occured Tuesday the
29th of January, 1986.
It was handed to the teocher
just minutes before she
entered the Challenger. The
apple could have hod explo-
sives m It, set to go off just
about time for the shuttle to
reach that altitude. So, that It
would explode before tie
people's eyes, os they
watched with pride as our
first school teacher was al-
lowed to go.
fhe security crew was
temporarily unalert to the
security of the mission. They
never gave It o thought that,
that little Innocent, tradltlonot
apple for the teacher, could
be so deadly.
This |s at this time merely
speculation, but could be so
true. This Is something that
only a very sick mind could
think to do. Our enemies are
all sitting back loughlng right
now. Nothing but a very evN
sick mind could laugh at such.
But all Is not lost. The child-
ren of the world will take
more Interest In the Space
program and learn from this
and apply themselves more to
their studies In Science
classes.
This teacher Is their hero. She
loved children, ond loved
teaching them. Children ore so
fresh ond wonderAtl, and their

little minds should be gently
shaped ond molded In a con-
structive way for t*-e future.
Most of them are stuck m
front of a T.V, set, just to
keep them out of the woy.
But, there is not much on T.V,
anymore that Is constructive
for them to watch. Mostly a
bixtch of Idiots trying to teach
the rest of the people how to
kiss and make love. And that Is
not what real love Is all obout.
We already know how to do all
of that. Nature itself teocnes
that. But from morning until
night, oil you see Is some wo-
man trying to get someone
elses husband. No wonder we
hove so much divorce ond
crime.
This teacher was a real
woman that loved life ond
mode a greeter Impact on the
youth of this world, than she
could ever hove Imagined. The
blble says, all things work
together for the good, to ttiem
thet love the Lord. And
America does still love ond
honor God.
AM of the people that were on
the Challenger, and were
killed, were just as brave as
she was. Our educational sys-
tem wftl benefit from this
more than we think. And I
hope they go ahead os soon as
possible with the space pro-
gram. They were going to
take pictures of the Haley's
Comet, and I hope they still do
so, before It travels out too
for again.
Does this sound like "science
fiction"? Well, we are In o
time when anything is pos-
sible. A time when the science
fiction stories of 50 yeors ago,
ore not fiction anymore, but
true.
I believe every school room In
Amerlco should hove o picture
of them hanging on the wall
and In the holls. That Is whot
education is oil obout.
Studying ond exploring Into
the unknown.
One of the Nations, North of
us, ore studying and looking
Into everything that N not al-
ready known to man. They
know just exactly how to get
the minds of most Amerlco on
the things thot are "Bose",and
not constructive, to the good
of our lond.
I could soy more, much more,
or. this subject, but not for
now. But the people of Amer-
lco hod better wake up. We
ore not living m the time of
good and Innocence. But, m o
time when every evil Imagin-
able of the heort is being
done. When the minds of our
youth ore all destroyed by
drugs, then the older ones con
be destroyed. And then the
Communist can toke over our
Notion completely.
Woke up Amerlco before It's
to lote to do anything obout ft.
Christians proy more than you
ever hove for our Notion. God
Is still the some as yesterdoy,
today, ond forever, he is not
asleep as some of us or®. You
don't just sit ond let the
enemy moke all of their
threats, and Just Ignore them.
They mean It. if I ever get
mod enough to tell someone to
•watch out I might hit you." I
mean It. And so does this
Notion's enemies, when they
make their threots. We must
think about these things ser-
iously.

WINTER PASTURE
The flMTcOTngoTOy In the
spring produces the highest
quality hay that we cor pro-
duce. The digestibility of
warm season grasses Is higher
lr the spring thor any other
time of the year. Weeds In the
eorly spring cause the hay
quality to be lower and they
use valuable nutrients. Every
po^d of weeds produced is a
pound of valuable forage lost.
February is a good time to
apply c preemerge herbicide
to postures to control spring
weeds. Preemerge herbicides
available include slmazlne,
atrazlne and KARMEX. Atra-
zlne Is only labeled for use.d k
pastures ond not on hay mea-
dows.
These herbicides control
weeds as their seeds germin-
ate, Preemerge herbicides
control only o few weeds
growing at the time of npp(l
cation. As c weed seed ger-
minates, the herbicide is taken
up ond the plant dies. These
herbicides need to be applied
early before spring weed
seeds germinate.
Do not apply preemerge her-
bicides to areas thot contain
clovers or ryegrass that you
Intend to keep.
Be sure to read the label on
the chemical package. The
label will give the rote of her-
bicide to apply and mixing k -
struct Ions. The label will also
explain any precautions you
need to be aware of before
using each herbicide.
WEED CONTROL
IN CL0Wn
Weed control F clovers hus
become one of the major
areas of concern In East
Texas. Clover production is
becoming an economical port
of forage production.
The herbicide 2, k-DB may be
used to control -weeds In many
clovers. 2, k-D8 needs to be
sprayed early In the year.
Weeds need to be less than
ttree Inches high or k tie
rosette stage, for good control.
2, k-DB should not be sprayed
when the temperature will be
below k0 degrees Fahrenheit
or above 90 degrees Fahren-
heit for several days after
sproylng.
The sprayer should be rinsed
with an alkali water solution |f
