Preparing For The Worst
A young police officer spends
hours preparing for his profes-
sion, but how much of that train-
ing can he recall during the few
seconds he is being assaulted by a
criminal? Apparently quite a bit,
say experts who head a program
dealing with job stress for police
officers. “America is a very vio-
lent society,” one expert says.
“Lawmen must understand vio-
lence.”
Margaret Renee Will and
Christopher Wayne Ambrose
exchanged wedding vows Jan-
uary 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the First

Rev. Bruce Will, uncle of the

Aware of the crowded con-
ditions of the present center,
several South County members
of the newly formed S.C.A.T.
club are eyeing the feisibility of
building a much larger Senior
Citizen Center in the Lumber-
ton area.
"Under certain satisfactory
conditions,” R.T. Milner, presi-
dent of the group said, “we may
even think about extending the
present building, that is if
citizens in our area will lend a
helping hand.
“Should we choose another
location, it would in no way
effect the existance of the
Senior Citizen group here. We
are interested only in a larger
building at this time.”
S.C.A.T. (Senior Citizens all
Together), the brain child of
Larry Allen, Extension agent
in Kountze, helps the citizens to
help themselves.
“We have over 400 senior
citizens alone in our part of the
county,” Milner continued,
“and we do need larger facili-
ties for them, and with a
combined effort we can make
the project complete in no
time.” Others have proved this
to be reality."
Milner was referring to ano
ther county where similiar pro
jects for the older citizen were

Lost Soil
Some 40 years after the tragic
Dust Bowl, the U.S. Soil Conser-
vation Service finally began to
determine systematically how
much soil was eroding in the Unit-
ed States, says National Geo-
graphic. The SCS estimated that
in 1977 the country “lost” about
three billion tons of soil from
plowed fields.
Growing Africa
Today 55 percent of Africans
are under 20 years of age, com-
pared with only 30 percent of
Europeans. Youthful popula-
tions with a high proportion of
women of childbearing age con-
tribute to modern population
growth.
