Magdalena Morbitzer Kocks cel-
ebrated her 9th birthday with one
hundred family and friends. A mass
at Sacred Heart Church in Wichita
Falls followed by a birthday dinner at
"The Place" was given in her honor.
Magdalena moved to Scotland with
her family from Rhineland, TX, when
she was five years old. She married
the late John A. Kocks Sr. April 27,
1927. they celebrated 69 years of mar-
riage before his death in 1996.
Magdalena's seven children (shown
above, back row, left to right) Jimmy,
Carolyn, John Allen, Melvin, Juanita,
and (front row, on each side of their
mother, Magdalena) Virginia and
Betty, were present and hosted the
dinner party. Relatives from Califor-
nia, Oklahoma and Texas attended
the party. Her best friend that she had
while attending school in Scotland,
Mary Kegal Schenk, was also present.
She has 25 grandchildren, 47 great-
grandchildren, and 5 great-great-
grandchildren. The quilted back drop
was designed and made by her daugh-
ter Carolyn Bachmann and grand-
daughter Suzanne Bachmann-
Hansen. The trunk of the tree is the
parents and each branch represents a
child. The dove is for her deceased
child Harry Alvin. The apples are
grandchildren, leaves for great-grand-
children, and butterflies for the great-
great-grandchildren._
American Red Cross blood donors
hold the key to the health of their
communities, according to Kathy
Rios, Red Cross representative.
People in Archer City have the oppor-
tunity to donate Tuesday, June 13th at
the First Baptist Church at 234 S. Oak
Street from 2:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. All
donors will receive a free "Hot
Blooded Texans" t-shirt, third in our
series!!
"We are now in the spring tornado
season and we're gravely concerned
about the low blood inventory here in
Texas," said Carol Tupy, COO,
American Red Cross. Texas Divi-
sion. "For the safety of the communi-
ties we serve, we must bring our blood
inventory back up to a safe level.
Disasters can happen in a heartbeat
and we need to have life-saving blood
on the shelf."
An eligible donor is someone in
good health who is at least 17 yrs. old
and weighs 110 pounds or more. The
criteria for donating blood has
changed in recent years and many
people who were once deferred may
now be eligible to donate. There is no
longer an upper age limit and insulin-
dependent diabetics and those people
treating high blood pressure may be
able to donate if their disease is under
control.
"The fact is that most of us are
eligible to donate," says Rios, "but it
is a sad truth that only about 5% of
those who are eligible actually do-
nate. We would love for more people
in Archer City to come forward and
be part of the solution to the problems
of the blood supply."
Each unit of blood is separated into
the three blood components - plasma,
platelets and red cells. Each compo-
nent goes on to serve different
patient's needs, be it an accident vic-
tim, a cancer patient or a newborn. "A
single donor can be the key to the
future of three different people."
For any other questions or to make
an appointment, please call Roger
and Carol Deerinwater at 940-574-
4923.

Stocks have a place in retirement accounts
If you have a Roth IRA, a tradi- ■
tional IRA, an employer-sponsored
retirement plan or some other tax-
deferred retirement vehicle, the
chances are pretty good that you're
funding your plan either partially or
entirely with mutual funds. Mutual
funds are good choices, because they
offer diversification and professional
management. But if your retirement
account is made up solely of mutual
funds, then you may be missing out
on another good funding vehicle —
individual stocks.
You may already be buying stocks
for your every day investment account.
How do you know which of these
stocks might be good candidates for
your retirement plan?
In general, you may want to put
those stocks that pay higher divi-
dends in your retirement account. If
you kept these stocks in your regular
trading account, the di vidends would
incur taxes at your regular income tax
rate, which could be as high as 39.6
percent. But if you put these stocks in
your retirement account, the dividends
will be allowed to compound on a
tax-deferred basis.
Furthermore, stocks that pay higher
dividends tend to be well-established
companies with proven track records
and solid long-term growth potential.
Clearly, these are the traits you want
in the investments that make up your
retirement account.
Conversely, you may want to keep
small-capitalization and aggressive
growth stocks in your regular ac-
count. Many of these stocks pay little
or no dividends, so you won't pay
taxes on your shares until you sell
them. Even then, you'll just be paying
capital gains taxes, which are cur-
rently capped at 20 percent — only
about half the top income tax rate.
There's another reason you might
want to keep the small-capitalization
and aggressive growth stocks out of
your retirement account: volatility.
These types of stocks are often sus-
ceptible to large price swings caused
by market downturns. Over the long'
term, these periods of volatility do
tend to smooth out, but when you're
close to retirement, you don't want to
take the chances of hitting a "down"
cycle.
On the other hand, you don't want
all the stocks in your retirement ac-
count to look exactly alike. Diversifi-
cation is just as important in a retire-
ment account as anywhere else, so
you'll want to spread your dollars
among stocks in a variety of different
industries.
No matter how you choose to invest
your dollars once they are in your
retirement account — in stocks, mu-
tual funds or a combination of the two
— try to put away as much as you can
afford, or as much as is allowed in
your particular plan. Remember that
your contributions are all tax-de-
ferred, which means that your money
will grow much faster than, if it were
places in similar-yielding investments
in a taxable account.
And when it comes to saving for
retirement, the faster your money
grows, the better.
