One small town has
developed a special loan
policy to attract
doctors. Student gets a
loan to go to medical
school of his choice. In
return, he must repay
the loan with interest or
practice medicine there
at least three years.
A number of phar-
maceuticals. formerly
prescription-only
drugs, are now avail-
able over the counter.
Many are well-known
and effective.
New medical special-
ty -- family practice -
requires that doctors be
recertified every six
years. Only such
specialty so far. though
recertification is ex-
pected to become a
trend.
In Japan, Vitamin C
is given routinely after
blood transfusions to
prevent hepatitis.

By this time, most mothers have had time to recover
from any surprises, shocks, and/or “Darlings-you-really-
shouldn’t have” gifts, after assuring the well-meaning
givers of their appreciation.
Commercialism of many special days seems to get more
out-of-hand as anniversaries mount. Probably many a
guilty conscience has been lulled back into lethargy for
another anniversary after a self-assured “Well, I did
remember adn I hope she liked it.”
Mothers adjust to liking things. Mother’s Day was
officially observed May 10, 1913 following the adoption of
a resolution by Congress, designating the second Sunday
in May as that special day.
This mother has been privileged to enjoy to the fullest
59 years of motherhood, with heart-felt gratitude for every
one.

Add to the above commentary: To mark the occasion,
Americans were expected to send more than 200 million
MD cards this year.
And that, times 13c, should brighten the comer wherein
the US Postal System finds itself as of last report.

After my arrival at Sally’s the afternoon of April 29, my
first public appearance was at the Methodist family picnic
at City Park.
It was like a sure-enough home-coming celebration. We
exchanged greetings and hugs and [allowing for
who-is-fooling-who-isms] “Why you haven’t changed a
bit”, etc., etc.
We shared in our ecstacies... The Lord loveth cheerful
givers, and might have condoned a stretching of truth as
well
A feature of the gathering was ,a free-for-all sing-along
with ESTHER [Mrs. Carl] TRULSON leading and her
sister, IRENE [Mrs. Mark] MARSHALL twanging an
autoharp as an accompaniment... which is the best way
this unmusical genius can describe the delightful program
which followed.
Accompanying his sisters to the gathering ujas BILL
SAATHOFF. He is the son of the late County Supt. W.
N. Saathoff. Bill says that his father used to call him to do
some task about the farm: ‘‘Bill... Bill... Bill, come here.”
But, when he was called WILLIAM in no uncertain
tone, Bill really got moving. Family memories are made of
such as this.
SHELL YBRAGG and SHERRI OEFINGER
big white cue cards for the audience to follow in the
roundelays. A selection of old hymns brought the evening
to a happy time-to-go-home.
On Tuesday, LOUISE [Mrs. W. L. ] TAYLOR and I
went to call on the ALEX GRANT Srs. Their home,
always sparkling clean, offers gracious old-fashioned
hospitality.
Their front yard shows the daily attention their ",head
gardner”, who is Mrs. Grant, gives it. ‘‘Salt of the Earth”
Hondo citizens, the Grants.

Our next call was to BROWN’S CENTER. We were
greeted by Mrs. GEUEA, whom I always think of as
ALICE [Mrs. Raymond] MUMME'S mother. She is a
friendly, alert, busy, and very happy little lady. It was
she who acted djt our tour guide.
We spent a pleasant while with Mrs. SILVA CARTER,
a friend about whom I wrote a story some years ago. She
said she often rereads it. She is the mother of one of the
home's dedicated RN’s, FAY McCARTNEY. Silva has
one wall of her tidy room decorated with Hondo Owls,
looking very realistic as they peer wide-eyed from their
perches of tree twigs. She has a whole basket of materials
to make many more which make attractive party faOors
and they are very reasonably priced.
Mrs. NOREEN KENT, cousin of KAY [Mrs. Melvin]
FINGER, is my friend with the Irish smile that lights her
face as she talks. I missed her as she was with a therapy
group.

My notes on the Methodist picnic included the name of
my newest boy friend, TODD REUS, whose happiness
was a joy to share. He is the 13-months old son of RA Y
and KAREN REUS, formerly of Castroville but now of
SA He was accompanied by his sister, TRACEY, and
thej/ are the grandchildren of HOUSTON and LEORA
EGGEN.
He clapped tiny hands to the music played by his
gmndmother on the portable electric organ.
* * *
The CHESTER F. HE YENS were also there. Chester
was in the Ime-up^a/rfS I greeted him: ‘‘Grandfather, do
you just happ&nto have ...?” Before I could finish, he
answered, with as proud a grandfatherly smile as I ever
saw: ‘‘So glad you asked. I do JUST HAPPEN to have
her pictures right here.”
It was thus that I met ELIZABETH ASHLEY
BARNETT, who was born Nov. 26, 1976, and whose
paren ts are JOE BOB and DEBBIE HE YEN BARNETT.
She is, indeed a little charmer.

By now, all of Medina County and probably most of the
ships at sea must know about a newcomer, name of
JEFFRY JOHN JENNINGS: Don’t miss the WANTED
ad, placed by Former and Present AGGIES on page 10 of
the May 5 Anvil Herald. It tells all. Louise and 1 had a
short visit with his mother and even had a look through
the glassed-in nurse/y where the athlete was flexing his
muscles in anticipation of his future appearance in the
state's sports headlines.

This week’s ASW has been devoted to HONDOANS.
My notes had to be whittled down a bit because there are
more which will be scattered about through future
columns.
The old home town seemed to be jumping with local
items and, if I m not asked-to resign for being so. gabby,
we U try again next week. Take good care of your eyes and
don’t forget where you put your glasses!
