GOOD MORNING!
Your Spine
Chiropractic teaches that the spine is the key to the
nervous system and therefore to health, because ALL
nerve trunks are distributed from the spinal eolumn.
Falls, accidents and mishaps sometimes displace a ver-
tebrae slightly, and partially block nerve channels. This
pinches the nerves, disturbs the transmission of nerve
energy, lowers resistance, impairs function and leaves
your body susceptible to disease.

Call Dr. H. E. Munden, for a compfete spinal chcck-
up, today. Call 385-2611.
Ronald L. Grisham
Visits Acapulco
San Diego, Feb. 11—Seaman
Apprentice Ronald L. Grisham,
USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wal-
ter D. Grisham Sr., of Route 1,
Silsbee, visited Acapulco while
serving aboard the heavy cruis-
er USS Saint Paul, flagship for
Commander First Fleet.
During the ship’s five-day
stay in the Mexican port and
vacation resort, crewmembers
enjoyed sightseeing and the
many available sports such as
deep sea fishing, skin-diving,
water-skiing, and even para-
chute riding behind a power
boat.
Some observed two of Aca
pulco’s most famous tourist at-
tractions: the high divers of
La Quebrada who plunge from
a 135 foot cliff into the sea, and
the Flying Indians of Papantla
who dance upon a tiny plat-
form high above the crowd be
fore plunging toward the
ground at the end of long
ropes.
Saint Paul’s stop at Acapulco
was a welcome break in the
ship's preparations for its sche-
duled deployment to Vietnam
this spring.

Board of Trustees
Silsbee Independent School
District 522
at Large for the Texas Divi-
sion of American Cancer So-
ciety, made an appeal through
the Silsbee Bee this week for
materials needed.
The Women’s Society of the
First Christian Church meets
every third Thursday to make
dressings and comfort items for
area cancer patients. Mrs. Ho-
ward Rodgers, president of the
service group, reports that
while they have material for
dressings, which is furnished
by the ‘American Cancer So-
ciety, they are in desperate
need of worn white sheets, pil-
low cases and men’s white
shirts in order to continue sup-
plying much needed comfort
items for cancer patients.
Anyone having any of these
items can leave them at the
church on Avenue K during the
morning hours, or at Elmore
Insurance Agency office, one
block east of the church, in
case the building is not open.
This group of women give
their time and labor as volun-
CARD OF THANKS
Our thanks to all for every
expression of love in the loss
of our precious granddaughter,
Candace Caprice Tennison.
Thank you also for prayers,
visits, calls and cards during
my stay in the hospital.
Mrs. and Mrs. D. P.
Greene and family
assistance from Silsbee women
who have time to give between
9:30 a. m. and noon on that
day. Service groups are work-
ing all oyer Texas in order to
help their neighbors and they
all agree there is no more sat-
isfying way to spend a few
hours of their day. Coffee and
cookies are served during the
work period.
Twenty-two dozen dressings
were delivered to the county
nurses office last week by this
group, but Mrs. Rodgers says
with more ladies working and
more material brought In, they
would be able to do much
more. •
Mrs. Elmore informs us that
there were 131 reported can-
cer patients in Hardin County
last year and that it is the goal
of volunteers for the American
Cancer Society to be in a po-
sition to help every patient
with comfort items and dress-
ings when needed. To do this
much volunteer help is needed.
Mrs. Rodgers invited indivi-
duals, club members and ladies
church groups to join them in
their efforts. Her phone num-
ber is 385-2727._
