Project Graduation meet set
In an effort to find parent represen-
tatives from surrounding towns, an
organizational meeting for the up-
coming Project Graduation will be

downtown Cisco at Olney Savings, 701
Ave D

"In 1985, 361 Texans died on our
public streets and highways, another
10,958 people were injured. These
figures represent spproximately 10
percent of all fatal accidents in our
state. All of these accidents involved
a group that comprises less than
three percent of the total motor vehi-
cle population. They were all
motorcyclists.”
The Texas Department of Public
Safety and the Texas State Technical
Institute of Waco are responding to
this problem by offering Motorcycle
Safety Foundation's Motorcycle
Rider Course. Although the^course is
required for minors, it is open to
anyone wishing to learn to ride or im-
prove their present skills. The course
teaches a high level of skill and
research based defensive strategies
for street and highway survival. This
is another way to better prepare for
the spring and coming summer.
This course is available in Erath
County. For further information or
registration procedures, contact the
Motorcycle Operator Training Sec-
tion of the Texas Department of
Public Safety at 512-465-2817, or the
Motorcycle Mechanics Department
of Texas State Technical Institute of
Waco at 817-799-3611 Ext. 2530.

The squid has a unique way of
escaping from its enemies. When
closely pressed, the squid shoots out a
cloud of black ink, thus leaving its
enemy in the dark as it makes its
escape.

Ombudsman needed
The North Central Texas Council of
Governments’ Area Agency on Aging
is seeking volunteers for their Long
Term Care Ombudsman Program.
The Nursing Home Ombudsman
Program works to improve Ow lives
and protect the rights of nursing
home residents by assisting residents
with resolving their problems,
visiting regularly, increasing public
awareness and monitoring federal,
state and local laws and regulations
affecting nursing homes.
Typically, a volunteer ombudsman
visits nursing home residents, at-
tends nursing home open hearings
and participates in nursing home in-
spections conducted by the Texas
Department of Health.
“Each ombudsman is assigned a
nursing home and is expected to
spend at least two hours a week in a
facility observing its operation and
responding to residents’ needs,” said
Wilma Morgan, Manager of Aging
Programs for the North Central
Texas Council of Governments.
At present there are no om-
budsman to serve the six nursing
homes in Erath County.
For more information on becoming
a volunteer ombudsman, call Don
Smith, North Central Texas Council
of Governments’ Area Agency on Ag-
ing at 817-640-3300.
SALT plans dinner theatre
enjoyed watching the children, ages
2-12, find ail 150 eggs. Like always, it
took longer to hide them than it did to
find them, 10 minutes gone!
Everyone truly enjoyed the
afternoon.
A special and warm welcome to our
newest members of the Dublin Nurs-
ing Center family. They are Newell
“Punch" Alexander and L. C. “Tex”
Jones. We welcome these men and
their families into our family. Both
men reside on Hall 2 of the facility.
Friday night will be our Family
Night. We are planning a hot dog
cookout with all the trimmings. Our
families are bringing the trimmings
and we are providing the hot dogs and
buns. We are looking forward to the
cookout and all of our families being
present. The cookout begins at 6, so
everyone come and get it.
Friday we are "on the road again.”
We are heading out for a drive in the
country. Someone asked what coun-
try we were going to, well who knows.
You never can tell where we may end
up.
Something to remember: She was
old in years but young in spirit.
Although she got around on crutches
and in a wheelchair, she was a
dynamo. She ran a highly successful
real estate business, served on the
town council and regularly helped
charitable causes in various
capacities.
One day a new friend asked what
had put her in the wheelchair.
“Infantile paralysis,” she replied.
"In the beginning I was almost com-
pletely paralyzed.”
‘It’s obviously still a serious han-
dicap,” said the friend. "How do you
cope, how do you do all the things you
do?”
“Ah!” she said with a smile. “The
paralysis never touched my heart or
my head.” (copied)

Dental Answers
By Pr Chart#* Crabtree
This column deals with questions
concerning dentistry and Dental
Care. Readers are invited to send
written questions to Dental Care,
P.O. Box 358, Dublin, 76446.
Doctor Crabtree: 1 have very bad
teeth. I’ve had lots of cavities ever
since I was a child. My mother and
my grandmother both got dentures in
their thirties so I’m sure my problem
is hereditary.
My dentist keeps tryin to encourage
me to have this or that expensive
treatment to improve the appearance
and function of my teeth.
Half of me wants to go ahead, but
the other half keeps reminding me
that I’ve inherited bad teeth and that
there is very little chance of saving
them anyway. What do you think?
Dear Reader: We all are bom with
certain genetic traits and tendencies
which will have an enormous in-
fluence on what we are. Many of
these genetic traits are quite static:
male or female; blue eyes or brown;
dark or fair skin. These static traits
are handed to us and essentially
unchangeable.
Other genetic factors, however,
give us tendencies towards certain
conditions but do not guarantee that
the condition will be present. For ex-
ample, a person with the genetic
tendency to be muscular and athletic
can waste his/her ability through
lack of use.
Conversely, a person with a lesser
genetic tendency towards athletics
can, with hard work and determina-
tion, excell in that field.
A person with an inherited tenden-
cy towards heart disease can keep his
heart healthy by following prescribed
health habits such as proper diet, ex-
cercise, avoiding tobacco, etc. But a
person with a tendency to have a
healthy heart can destroy his health
with harmful habits.
The teeth present a similar situa-
tion. It is possible for an individual to
have a tendency towards decay, pla-
que and calculus formation, and/or
periodontal disease. However, these
tendencies do not make oral disease
unavoidable, they just indicate the
need for a serious prevention
program.
The attitude that you are predestin-
ed to loose your teeth is probably the
most sinister enemy facing your
teeth. This attitude allows you to
neglect your teeth.
Neglected teeth will always suffer,
even in those with a tendency towards
good oral health. You must make the
decision to keep your teeth before you
will be willing to put out the effort re-
quired to keep them.
I suggest you take your doctor’s ad-
vice and begin the program of restor-
ing your teeth. You may be surprised
at the level of health you will be able
to maintain with a little effort.
Remember, a tendency towards
bad teeth does not lock you into a den-
ture any more than a tendency
towards good teeth will guarantee
that your mouth will stay healthy.
The decisions you make will not on-
ly determine the health of your
mouth, but also affect your overall
health. The sooner you start making
decisions that improve your health,
the sooner you will reap the benefits.
Glasgow appointed to
tax equity committee
Lieutenant Governor Bill Hobby
reported recently that Senator Bob
Glasgow (D6tephenville) has been
selected to serve on the Select Com-
mittee on Tax Equity.
The committee is to be comprised
of the Comptroller of Public Ac-
counts, four members from the
general public to be selected by the
Governor, two public members and
two House members appointed by the
Speaker of the House and two public
members and two Senators selected
by the Lieutenant Governor. Each
member will serve a two-year term.
The committee is charged with the
responsibility of studying the burden
of state and local taxation.
The Lieutenant Governor stated
that “this is a critically important
task at this point in Texas history and
we need the best minds at work on the
problem.”
The committee will soon begin to
review the state’s tax structure and
will recommend ways to reach
greater equity.
JESUS AS LORD
There are many in the world who have not
made Jesus their Lord. They do not recognize
that Jesus has the absolute right to lay down
the terms which He will accept followers as His
disciples.
The first condition of discipleship can be given
in just two words: “God First." We must
remember that Jesus must be the Lord of all,
or not Lord at all. “No man can serve two
masters.”
