Editor's Notes
In a small town such as ours,
everyone knows everyone else, th<9>
townspeople are all friendly, aritf
everyone seems to be basfcly^ good,
honest, upright people. It is difficult
to Imagine crime or disruption or
any lawlessness exists here. Most
people feel perfectly safe, leaving
their doors unlocked, or thier cars
parked with the keys in it. We
ate sure everyone at one time or
another has done either or both of
these things. Sad as it may be. the
time has come for us to reallte,
that although this is a small town
and that most of us are honest and
wouldn't take anything that didn't
belong tc us, there are people pass-
ing through and maybe even a few
in Saint Jo, whose morals are not
what they should be.
Tuesday night, our school, as well
as those in Muenster, Gainesville.
Callisburg and Nocona were brok-
en into. The burglars forced a
window cpen into the High School
building, then entered into the
Elementary Building, breaking in
a door in Mr. Ellis' office. Not too
much damage was done, but ap-
proximately $12.00 was taken.
Wedensday right, Charles (Shor-
ty) Thompson's car was stolen
from the parking lot at the First
Baptist Church. Mr. Thompson had
gone home, leaving the car fofr*
Mrs. Thompson, who was attending
choir practice. After the practice,
when she started home the car was
not there and she thought he had
It. The theft was not discovered Un-
til sue reacheu home.
Abe car was abandoned in Gaines-
ville that night after the theives
had damaged it. One of the boys,
jabout 14, was captured but the
{others who accompanied him, es-
caped.
Mr. Thompson said the car re-
ceived very heavy damage, which
will be costly to repair.
Instances such as these makes
one wonder if any place is really
free from vandalism. We think
not. The only thing for us to do is
to try to see that all our possessions
are well protected. We know we
cannot, through a single effort,
stop them, but we can at least
make it harder for them.
The Saint Jo Volunteer Fire De-
partment are sponsors of the Drive
for Muscular Dystrophy this year.
This is a very worthy cause for a
disease, which at his time has no
known cure. For the thousands in
our country who are plagued by
this dreadful disease, the only hope
is through science and research
provided for by the contributions
given during the drive. This year,
more than ever before, the need is
tremendous.
Mr. Birchfiel, spokesman for the
Fire Department, said there be no
house to house campaign. There
are canisters placed in various bus-
inesses fn town, for your con-
venience.
Please be generous with your
contributions, in the hope that
through your help there will some-
day be a cure and preventitive for
Muscular Dystrophy.
Tell 'em you saw it in the Tribune.
"NEXT SUNDAY'S LESSON — AND YOU"
By Norris Onstead, Pastor, First Baptist Church
BIBLE MATERIAL: Acts 8
SUBJECT: "Are You An Evangelist?"
EMPHASIS: "... as my Father hath sent me, even so I send
you." John 20:21
LESSON BACKGROUND:
Philip had been preaching the gospel of the crucified and
resurrected Christ with great success. The whole city had
been rejoicing at the marvels of God as were manifested
through this man. Common reasoning would dictate that he
would continue in that place until the entire city would be
evangelized for Jesus Christ. But this was not the plan of
God. Instead he was sent out into the desert to witness to or
evangelize an eunich who was passing through the country in
a commercial caravan.
TODAY'S LESSON FOR YOU:
It is the responsibility of every Christian to become an
evangelist for Christ. If you feel your church has "hired"
your preacher to do this task, you are mistaken. If you feel
that you would not be qualified for such work, you are mis-
taken. If you are a Christian, it is your privilege and respon-
sibility to witness to those who know not the love of God
through Christ in their lives. Whom do you know that you
could speak to this week?

YARBOROUGH'S
REPORT ON AID
TO SCHOOLS
Word from the Presidents and
other administrators and some 20
Texas colleges indicates the new
National Defense Education Act
student loan program is helping
hundreds of Texas boys and girls
attend college.
As a member of the U.S. Senate
Education subcommittee and a co-
author of thiJ law,' It is naturally
gratifying to me that the program
is sound and workable.
It is the program passed during
1998 to help insure that a higher
number of our deserving and qual-
ified students, particularly those
with science aptitudes can complete
their college training.
At this time, some 50 Texas col-
leges and universities are partici-
pating in the loan plan, and Texas
students have already been loaned
a total of more than $3 million to
help them attend college.
Let me quote you excerpts from
some of the letters leading Texas
college officials have written about
the student loan plan.
One said: "...I think this program
is the best yet devised to help meet
a serious problem facing our young
people who are seeking higher ed-
ucation."
Another administrator wrote:
"....the loans are definitely of great
value to our students, particularly
since they have been faced this
year by a necessary one-third rise
in tuition The demand for 1-r-s
became so great that we asked for
(and received) an additional alloca-
tion...."
One educator described the pro-
gram as "a great blessing to
worthy students who would not be
able to continue their education
without such assistance..."
One Texas college President re-
ported that contrary to his earlier
opinion, "this program has been re-
ceived with overwhelming enthus-
iasm by the students, and I believe
it is going to prove a significant
factor in keeping capable young
people in college, rather than seek-
ing a job after they finish high
school...."
Some of the institutions partici-
pating and their loan allocation for
current school term include:
Howard Payne College at Brown-
v'.oou, $42,500; University of Hous-
ton, $205,000; Lamar State College
of Technology at Beaumont, $14,515;
Prairie View Agricultural and
Mechanical College, $17,433; Uni-
versity of Texas. $174,600: Texas
A.&M. College, $90,600; St. Mary's
University, San Antonio, $26,300;
Tarleton State College at Stephen-
ville, $8,500; Midwestern University
at Wichita Falls. $14,400; Texas
Christian University. $84,000; Sac-
red Heart Dominican College at
Houston, $9,400; Texas Tech,
$135,000; Abilene Christian College,
$55,300; Arlington State College,
$24,370; and Baylor University,
$174,100.
The only major disappointment I
have with the program is that the
Board of Regents of Texas's State
Teachers Colleges have not yet
voted to let students in their schools
participate. This despite the fact
that a total student loan of $140,923
was shown in state teachers col-
leges last year.
The students being denied this
educational loan help are those at
East Texas State College at Com-
merce, Sam Houston State Teachers
College at Huntsville, Sul Ross
State Teachers College at Alpine,
Southwest State Teachers College
at San Marcos, and Stephen F.
Austin State College at Nacog-
doches.
It is my hope that the State
Teachers Board of Regents soon
will recognize that the student loan
is a sound program, and that they
vote to let their students partici-
pate.
A HARVEST PRAYER
"O gracious Father, who openest
Thine hand and fillest all tilings
living with plenteousness; we be-
seech Thee of Thine infinite good-
ness to hear us w,ho now make our
prayers and supplications unto
Thee. Remember not our sins, but
Thy promises of mercy. Vouchsafe
to bless the lands and multiply the
harvests of the world. Let Thy
breath go forth that it may renew
the face of the earth. Show Thy
lovingkindness that our land may
give her increase; and so fill us
with good things that the poor and
needy may give thanks unto Thy
name; through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
-From the Book of Common Prayer
