First thing this week. I
must say that I'm not an avid
baseball fan. Football is my
thing. Oh. I like baseball
all right, but it does wear on
you a little near the end of
the season. So could some-
one explain the World Series
to me? I understand the
basics, that’s no problem.
But why is it dragged out to
5. 6. to 7 games?
When the regular football
season ends, there are the
playoffs, then there is the
"world series" of football,
the Superbowl. One game.
One single game. One team
wins, one team loses, and
that's it, A nice neat little
package, don't you think?
Okay then, why does base-
ball have to be so contrary
and string it out over so
many games and so many
days? Wouldn't one game
between the two finalists be
sufficient? I fail to under-
stand what is proven by
playing so many games and
still having only one w inner.
So if someone has a logical
explanation on this subject, 1
would much appreciate their
submitting it to me!
**********
(again). I've about come to
the conclusion that someone
is out to get me! I make it a
policy to do my best to stay
out of the way of coaches,
players, refs, and other
assorted and sundry people
on the sidelines. But what
about the ball? 1 nearly
became the possessor of a
new hairstyle, adorned with
a football, last week. I saw
the punt coming at me. and
started to vacate. But it
seemed like every direction I
turned in. when 1 looked up.
the ball had changed its
course to match mine. But at
least now 1 think I under-
stand why that ball is so hard
to catch. You can't tell just
exactly where its going to
come down, and if getting
your whole body out from
under it is tough, then
getting just vour two hands
under it must really be a job!

Draw The Line
On Crime.
Alarming increases in criminal activity in our state is the
biggest single threat to the well-being of Texans. It is time our
elected officials start to get concerned
about crime. Bob Glasgow has served for
seven years as a criminal prosecutor.
During that seven years he successfully
prosecuted 864 criminal cases—that
illustrates how he feels we should
deal with law breakers. As state
senator Bob Glasgow will fight
for laws that protect the law
abiding, not the law
breaking. Draw the line
on crime. Elect Bob

ends it with a little bounce.
And I don’t know' if they
really are, but the bouncers
always look very satisfied
with themselves The
bounce in their steps seems
to indicate a happiness with
the world in general. Do you
think they know something
we don’t know?

1 had the opportunity to do
a little people-watching re-
cently in Waco, and I think it
could become a habit if the
time were available for it. Of
all the creatures on earth, the
human animal must be the
most fascinating. And there
are so many species that
there is a never ending
supply of new traits to see.
Walking is a good one to
concentrate on. and you'll
find that two rarely ever do it
in just the same w ay. You
have your striders. They are
the long-legged variety, so
they take long and fast steps.
And whether they really do
or not. they always look like
they know just exactly where
they are going.
Then there are the tinv-
steppers. They usually have
short legs and take many
little steps. And somehow, a
strider always seems to end
up paired with a tiny-step-
per, and as the strider
dashes along, the tiny-step-
per either gets lost in the
crowd, or gets drug along
behind.
My favorite though is the
bouncer. That is the person
who rolls off of each step and
Handling Game Meat For
Safety And Quality
Game meat provides dou-
ble pleasure—the sport of
the hunt, as well as a
variation in the flavor of table
meat.
Basically, you can use the
same safe handling practices
with game meat and birds as
you do with domestic meat
and poultry. However, there
are a few' extra precautions
you need to take, especially
with freshly killed game.
Most general recommen-
dations are the same for
handling game animals and
game birds. And, when
handled properly and safely,
game meat can add variety,
character, and nutrition to
meals the year round.
The best meat comes from
a healthy animal, not one
that is sluggish or hot from
running. One that appears
alert, moves quickly and is
free from old wounds is apt
to yield the best meat.
The most crucial period for
preserving the natural flavor
of game meat is the first six
hours after the kill. This
time is vital to the quality of
the meat, so it is important to
remove the entrails quickly.
Wipe the body cavity tho-
roughly with a clean cloth, or
wash and wipe dry. Be sure
the cavity surface is tho-
roughly dry. It should be in a
well-ventilated place to begin
the cooling process.
. The undesirable strong
flavor so often associated
w ith w ild meat is due to: 1)
inadequate bleeding, 2)
carelessness or delay in
dressing, 3) failure to cool
the carcass promptly and
thoroughly and 4) wounds
causing the blood to spread
along the membranes.
Prompt cleaning of the
body cavity and cooling will
retain the natural meat flavor
and help prevent grow th of
dangerous bacteria. Meat
sours rapidly when warm and
moist. Bacteria are especial-
ly notorious for causing food
poisoning in meat and fowl.
Salmonella and Clostridium
perfringens can develop and
grow rapidly w hen the meat
is not cooled properly.
If you cut the game
yourself, be sure to wash
your hands, untensils. con-
tainers and work surfaces
with hot water and soap
before they come in contact
w ith the raw meat. If vou
Having trouble sleeping?
An estimated 10 per cent to
SO per cent of the population
has sleep problems some-
time. The Texas Medical
Association advises avoiding
daytime naps, getting plenty
of exercise and avoiding
heavy meals before bedtime
as a few ways to help
encourage a good night’s
sleep.

keep the germs off the meat,
you avoid problems. Don't
handle the meat if you have
infected ruts and sores.
When cutting the meat,
trim off any remaining fat.
Fat from wild game tends to
become rancid quickly. Also
cut away blood shot and
badly bruised or discolored
areas to prevent extensive
spoilage.
After handling the raw
game, wash hands, utensils,
containers and work surfaces
again with hot water and
soap. Germs from raw meat
can spread to cooked meat or
other foods.
When cooking your game
be sure to cook ground meat
thoroughly. It is handled
more often in preparation
than other cuts, and germs
get mixed into it. Also cook
game birds thoroughly.
Never partially cook them to
finish cooking them later. It
is safest to cook stuffing
outside the bird. But. if you
prefer to stuff, do it just
before roasting. Refrigerate
the leftover meat and stuff-
ing in separate dishes—as
soon after the meal as
possible.
