quality and calibre.”
The tour begins Wednes-

Decorating for energy effi-
ciency will be one of the
topics for “Spring Clean-up,
paint-up, and fix-up..” The
free workshops are aimed at
the homeowner, mobile
home owner, and as a “cou-
ple’s program”, but even
renters and individuals can
learn ways to save on
energy.
Wednesday, March 27 is
the date to mark on your
calendar at 1:30 p.m., Liv-
ingston City Hall Auditorium
is the place. The program is
being conducted by myself
and housing specialists of
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, Mrs.
Weedon Echols and Dr.
Peggy Owens.
You will actually learn
how to use a caulking gun,
what type of weatherstripp-
ing to buy for your doors and
windows, and how to make
inexpensive home im-
provements.
I highly encourage your
household to attend this
practical and informative
workshop. Other topics will
include how to install proper
window treatments for patio
doors and windows, insula-
tion, moisture control, and
conducting a home
maintenance check-up.
For further information,
please call me at 327-8811 or
327-8317. Please tell your
church and civic groups and
neighbors about the
workshops.

Buckle up
Many parents or car pool
drivers do not use their seat
belts. Since children learn
bv observing, it’s important
that all drivers buckle up
themselves and make sure
all youngsters are buckled
up before starting the car.
It’s estimated that between
14,000 and 18,000 lives could
be saved each year if all
passenger car occupants us-
ed seat belts at all times.
Many of these lives are those
of children being driven to
and from school or other ac-
tivities. Good habits are ac-
quired. Wearing seat belts is
a good habit.
“Timesharing” of a cabin,
condo or home in resort
areas is an increasingly
popular way to take vaca-
tions.
While mo6t timeshare pro-
grams are highly regarded,
some problems can occur.
Consider the risks as well as
the benefits before signing a
contract or check.
Timesharing plans are
either deeded or non-deeded.
With the deeded type, you
buy an ownership interest.
In the non-deeded plan, you
buy a lease, license, or club
membership that allows you
to use the property for a
specific amount of time each
year for a stated number of
years.
With either type, the price
is determined by the length
of time per year you want to
buy.
Before you buy any type of
timeshare, consider the
following:
•Will you be able to use a
timeshare facility regular-
ly? If you are evaluating a
plan with units in several
locations, will there be
enough units at the site you
prefer so you can vacation
there as often as you would
like?
•If you are buying the
facilty as an investment,
remember that any resale of
property can be complicated
and expensive.
•The total cost of your
timeshare includes finance
charges and annual fees. In-
vestigate whether there are
limits on the annual
maintenance fees. Compare
estimates of your timeshare
cost on a weekly basis with
the rates of similar accom-
modations you could rent in
the same location. Be sure
that everything the salesper-
son promised orally is writr
ten in the contract. It’s pro-
bable best to have an at-
torney familiar with the
timesharing review all
documents before you sign.

ift the fall of
annual budget of over $7.6
million and an audience of
more than 350,00, the HSO is
the premiere performing
arts organization in the
Texas Gulf Coast area. The
orchestra has made previous
tours of the East Coast and
Mexico, and the HSO ap-
peared at the Festival
Casals in San Juan, Puerto
Rico for a week in June, 1982.
The orchestra makes fre-
quent tours throughout
Texas as part of its regular
performing activities. The

the baton of Maestro Comis-
siona and has appeared on
local, cable, and national
television broadcasts.
ty County
1886-the Slater boys and a
man named Kirty-and the
East Texas Pinery of Liv-
ingston reported that tragic
event.
The news items from the
Pinery is the first in a collec-
tion of newspaper obituaries
and other biographical
stories printed in Polk Coun-
ty newspapers from 1886 to
1935. The collection has just
been released under the title,
“Polk County Folks,” by In-
gmire Publications of St.
Louis.
Compiled by Livingstonian
Don Hendrix, the new book
was designed as an aid to
genealogists. To help the
ancestor hunter judge ac-
curacy, the author also in-
cludes background on how
obituary information was
gathered in the early days
and how errors can creep in-
to an obituary.
The 167 pages (8W X 11 in-
ches, softbound) includes a
surname index with nearly
800 surnames. Most items
came from the Polk County
Enterprise from 1906-16 and
from Corrigan newspapers
from 1930-35.
The book also features a
separate section on funeral
notices and another on early
20th century political an-
nouncements.
The book is optimistically
designated as Vol. 1. Hen-
drix said he plaas other
volumes of “Polk County
Folks” that will provide ad-
ditional data to aid
genealogists in their serach
for their roots.

A spelling lesson
Irving says everyone has a few
demon words-they never look right,
even when they’re spelled correctly.
Three of his are ecstasy, medieval, and
rhythm.
“I have learned to hate these words,
but have not learned how to spell them;
I have to look them up every time,” he
laments.
And, he says, everyone has a spelling
rule that a bugbear-it’s either too dif-
ficult to learn or it’s impossible to
remember. His personal bugbear
among the rules is the one governing
■ whether you add -able or -ible.
“I can teach it to you, but I can’t
remember it myself,” he says.
You add -able to a full word: adapt,
adaptable; work, workable.
You add -able to words that end in
e-just remember to drop the final e:
love, lovable. But if the word ends in
two e’s, like agree, you keep them both;
agreeable.
You add -ible if the base is not a full
word that can stand on its own: credi-
ble, tangible, horrible, terrible.
You add -ible if the root words ends in
-ns; responsible. You add -ible if the
root words inds in -miss: permissible.
You add -ible if the root words ends in a
soft c (but remember to drop the final
e!): force, forcible.
“Got that?” Irving asks. “I don’t
have it and I was introduced to that rule
in prep school; with that rule, I still
learn one word at a time,” he said.
Irving says that a person must
remember that it is permissible for
spelling to drive him or her crazy.
Spelling had this effect on Andrew
Jackson, who once blew his stack while
trying to write a Presidential paper:
“It’s a da...opps poor mind that can
think of only one way to spell a word!,”
he cried.
Irving adds that what’s really impor-
tant about good writing is not good
spelling.
“If you spell badlv but write well, you
should hold your head up. As the poet
T.S. Eliot recommended, ‘Write for as
large and miscellaneous an audience as
possible’-and don’t be overly concern-
ed if you can’t spell ‘miscellaneous.’
“Also remember that you can spell
correctly and write well and still be
misunderstood. Hold you head up about
that too. As good old G. C. Lichtenberg
said, ‘A book is a mirror; if an ass peers
into it, you can’t expect an apostle to
look out.’ - whether you spell ‘apostle’
correctly or not.”
Editor’s Note:
You also must remember that, with
the same rapidity that you get called
for using the perpendicular pronoun,
you get called for having a misspelled
word creep in the type-typo or not. And
that an Amen can be added to Irving’s
contention that no matter how well you
write or spell, you will be
misunderstood. And an Amen to
Lichtenberg’s quote.
