t&e *«ath«r fer the journey to
Jonesboro last
Sottidy night,
Oct. 11, missed
one beck of a ball
game It was the
Eagles home-
eoming and the
Gap ventured
over there with
fid intentions of
spoiling it fer’em by winning the
bail game, and they dang near done
tt-
Rain! Purty solid thru the first
half, and then slacked off some to
just a fine drizxle. Talk about a
shore nough wet field and a super
muddy parkin’ lot And the game
was a good run all the way.
Both teams playing hard and with
ail the intensity they could muster.
First quarter score was eight to
eight. Halftime score was eight to
eight, and plumb up to about the
last 25 seconds of the ball game, the
score was eight to eight. Nearly
unheard of fer a six-man football
game.
And, you guessed it, them Eagles
scored with about the last 25 seconds
to go and beat our Lions by a score of
14 to eight. Both teams are to be con-
gratulated fer a tough, tough, football
game. Our Lions have no reason not
to be proud, even though the final
score was not in their favor
Our next game will be here at the
Gap fer homecoming, Friday night,
the 17th, at 7.30 p.m. The Aqufila folks
gonna come over here and try and
spoil our homecoming. This should
be a good game and we hope all y’all
will come out and support our mighty
fine Lions football team.
The Gap Community Center was
might nigh full of hongry folks last
Thursday night, Oct. 9, fer our
monthly meeting of the Gap Commu-
nity Chamber of Commerce. Them
Methodist ladies did put a fine feed
on us. Ken Baucom of the Bosque
County Economic Development Cor-
poration brought us some words
about economic development and an
update on the HOTSWAP Water Alli-
ance.
Baucom brought his own wife, and
new grandma, Joann, with him and
also the secretary of the BCEDC,
Mollie Mills. Thank y’all fer cornin’.
Also had the Mayor of Meridian,
Mervin (Fuzz) Sp'rtzer, iri attendance
and he informed us of what the City
of Meridian is sorta lookin’ at in the
way of future water supplies. Prima-
rily, the Meridian Creek Basin, seems
to show the most promise and there
may well be a way to work this deal
into the HOTSWAP AlMice as a way
of strengthening that organization.
Seems to make sense that the
more folks woririn’ together toward a
common goal, the stronger they will
be. Most everyone seems to agree
that surface water will be our pri-
mary supply in the very near future
and we'd best git something in the
mill about it.
Got two new members this night.
Joann’s Courtney House Bed and
Breakfast in Clifton, and the Bosque
County Economic Development Cor-
poration of Bosque County. Welcome,
and thanks fer joinin’ up. This makes
a total of 105 members and more
a'comin’.
Well, them danged Cowboys best
be up to snuff tomorrow night, Oct.
13, against them Washington
Redskins. Me, Kevin, and the dog
need a break. It’s been a tough week
’round the Johnson house. Go Cow-
boys! Win! Win! Win! Now don’t none
of y’all call the house unless you got
some “constructive” criticism of
Berry Switzer.
Sunday, the 18th, is showtime at
the Bosque County Conservatory of
Fine Arts Tin Building Theatre in
Clifton. This will be the dinner show,
and supper starts at 7 p.m. Details
else where is this paper. My workin’
on this deal has made me aware of a
terrible affliction known as “CRS”
syndrome. Many of us are afflicted
with it; some just worse than others.
It means, “Cain’t remember
s...s...stuff.” Y’all got it?
I didn’t realize how bad I had it til I
got to tryin’ to remember what
mighty few lines I got. Dang! Kevin
read through the deal bout twice and
remembers both parts; word for
word. And I got copies in the out-
house, so I can study while gittin’ the
world in order, and every other place
in the house that I might sit down by.
Study! Study! Study! I gofer now,
though, but it has been a struggle.
Just glad I got a small part. Hope y’all
can make one of the shows. Gonna’
be five of ’em; surely you can make
one.'

Agent Offers Tips On Helping
Young Children Cope With Anger
MERIDIAN — Children become
angry in a variety of situations.
Suzie may be angry with Mom be-
cause she won’t let her go to a
friend’s house to play. Paco gets
angry with Dad because he won’t let
him bity gum at the store.
What do we do?
Many adults have learned to ig-
nore their feelings of anger, or to
express these feelings by hitting or
yelling at someone. Therefore,
adults often deal with a child’s an-
ger by demanding that he or she
stop being angry.
They might send a child to his
room until the child can behave bet-
ter, and sometimes, an adult may
hit a child. However, these actions
do not help children learn to handle
strong emotions such as anger.
Although feeling angry is a part
of life that no one can avoid, we can
teach children positive ways to cope
with anger. Adults can teach chil-
dren the difference between feeling
angry and acting on anger. Children
need to be told that feeling mad is
neither good or bad, but, hitting
someone of our anger is not okay.
In the short run, fife at home will
be easier when children learn how
to work through anger. In the long
run, children will continue develop
ing ways to cope with anger as they
become teenagers and adults, and
will pass these skills along to their
own children.
Ways Children Can
Cope With Anger
Children can learn to handle their
anger in several ways. Give children
several choices so they can pick those
that work best for them. Remember
that seme angry episodes take longer
than otoefs to solve.
Do Something Physical: Children
can do something with their bodies,
such as stomping feet, running around
twisted, and pulled apart. Any of these
physical activities can help children fo-
cus their anger on something else and
help them cahn down.
Trik About Feelings: Some young
children can talk to a parent, brother
or sister, grandparent, or friend about
what is making them angry. If children
can’t or won’t talk to a person, they can
be encouraged to talk to a family pet, a
puppet, or an imaginary friend.
Sing An Un-Mad Song: Help chil-
dren make up words to a song or poem
that expresses what they’re feeling.
Words from a favorite song can be sub-
stituted with the “un-mad” song. Fbr
example, the words “I’m so made

New Deadline
Schedule For
Cufton Record
CLIFTON - Effective Oct. 15,
The Cufton Record and its sister
paper, The Bosque Globe, will insti-
tute a new series of deadlines fbr
material submitted fbr publication.
The Record is published semi-
weekly, on Wednesdays and Fri-
days, and The Globe is published
weekly on Wednesdays. Their com-
bined circulations provide blanket
coverage of Bosque County.
The deadlines mostly pertain to
The Cufton Record, as it carries
more news than The Globe, ex-
plained W. Leon Smith, publisher
and editor-in-chief. The change is
made to better facilitate the news-
papers’ production schedule.
“We are asking people who regu-
larly submit material to revise their
schedules in order to be able to ad-
here to the new deadlines,” said
Smith. “We will be completely pro-
ducing the section that a deadline
relates to immediately following
deadline, so it is important that we
have the material in hand no later
than the deadline. Of course, as al-
ways, we do appreciate receiving
material earlier than deadline, fbr
it does help our workflow consider-
ably.”
The new deadline schedule ac-
companies this article. Readers
and suppliers of material are en-
couraged to clip it to have it avail-
able when they are ready to turn in
news articles and photographs.
EASON SUPPORTER - Meridian Jacket band member Heath Eason had a miniature "Jacket Backer" supporter
sitting next to him during the band's performance at homecoming on Friday, Oct. 3, at Jacket Stadium.
’cause 1 can’t play. Go away, go away,
today!” can be sung to a familiar or
made-up tune.
Ask other people how they cope with
feelines of anger. Help children collect
ideas from other people on how to cope
with anger.
Help the child deckle which ones are
okay based on sound information. Fbr
example, some people take a fast walk
to drain off anger, while others take
deep breaths when they get angry.
Drain the anger from the body. Let
children relax mh some water play ac-
tivities or fingerpainting. Let the child
scribble as turd as he can cm a scrap
of paper and throw the paper away, as
if throwing the anger away. Encourage
the child to dictate a story about what
has made him angry to an adult, and
have the adult read it back. The child
can then crumple up the paper and
throw it away.

Influenza Immunizations
Available At Local Clinic
Special Time Set Aside To Speed Service
CLIFTON—Influenza (flu) immu-
nizations are now available at Clifton
Medical Clinic. The clinic has set
aside a time period from 8 to 9:30 a.m.
each day to administer the vaccine
to minimize patient waiting time.
Well individuals do not have to be
seen by a physician to receive the
vaccine, said a clinic spokesman.
The vaccine is recommended for
persons who wish to reduce the pos-
sibility of contracting the influenza
virus. Hie Center for Disease Con-
trol, Atlanta, recommends all per-
sons witb»n the high-risk grouping be
vaccinated.
The high-risk grouping generally
consists of persons 85 years or older,
residents of nursing homes, persons
with chronic health problems, and
household members of high-risk per
sons who have been susceptible to
the flu in the past Medicare will pay
for this service.
