rected the Progessive Study
Club program Thursday night

Haskell National Bank.
She introduced Mrs. Kenneth
Ray of the Merle Norman
Salon, Olton, Texas, who is
Howard Perry Jr.’s youngest
sister, and whose parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Perry Sr. re-
side in Rule. Mrs. Ray prac-
tices cosmetics, the art by
which just plain beauties are
transformed into gorgeous
ones.
Presentation of a gift to the
members and guests was also
the means of choosing a “vic-
tim” for demonstration, thejar
with the “x” on the bottom made
it’s owner, Mrs. Kenneth Lane,
the “it” model for the evening.
It is difficult to improve on a
good thing, but Mrs. Ray per-
formed very well, demonstrat-
ing useful tips for every one
present. If only William Shakes-
peare had known that “It’s
What’s Up Front that Counts”,

How Well Do You Make
Your Money Behave?
BADGE AND PISTOL
S US PE CT
Edward Fiedora, about 45,
was apprehended in Haskell
Feb. 19, after police received
a report of a man begging for
food and showing off a pistol
and an investigator’s badge.
Mrs. Brytis Chamberlain of
the Sweet Shop became sus-

food showed her a pistol and a
badge. She notified the police
department. Chief Tom Barnett

a 1956 model Buick.
Investigation revealed the
man to be a patient from Wich-

O’Brien FHA Girls
Visit State School
By MARY LYNN ADKINS '
Tuesday the O’Brien FHA'
girls went on a very interest-
ing trip to the Abilene State
School. The girls were taken
on a tour of the school by one
of the school’s Psychologist,
Dr. Flowney. The State School
covers 640 acres of land and
has a population of 2300 resi-
dents.
In 1889, the Texas State Leg-
islature authorized the estab-
lishment of an Epileptic Col-
ony. In 1901, the legislature
designated the colony’s loca-
tion as Abilene on 640 acres of
land donated by the city. The
institution's name was changed
to Abilene State Hospital in
1925. In 1957, the function was
changed to that of a school for
the care and training of the men-
tally retarded and the name
was changed to Abilene Sv<>
School. Since 1965, the school
has operated under the super-
vision of the Texas Department
of Mental Health and Mental
Retardation.
Their goal is to help each
individual to develop his abil-
ities to the maximum, in order
that he may lead as productive
and satisfying a life as pos-
sible.
Abilene State School is one
of nine state residential insti-
tutions for the retarded and
serves 101 West Texas coun-
ties through the efforts of over
950 employees and a payroll
expenditure of about $3,856,068
annually.
Similar to a small city, the
school has facilities which in-
clude an Academic School, Arts
and Crafts, Business Services,
Campus Life, Developmental
Recreation, In-service Train-
ing, Medical Services, Physi-
cal Therapy, Psychological
Services, Recreation, Chaplain,
Social Development,SocialSer-
vice, Speech Therapy, Superin-
tendent, Vocational Rehabilita-
tion, and Volunteer Services.
This school has helped a lot
of people of all ages. It is won-
derful that there are so many
people who care enough to do-
nate their time, money, and
services to such a worthy cause.
The best place to start in
helping the retarded is with
YOU. Whether or not you work
with them as a volunteer or in
a career, whether you hire or
fire them, if you accept them as
a fellow human being, their bat-
tle is half won.
Demonstration Agent met to
plan the March THDA pro-
gram. The narcotics program
to be sponsored countywide and
also because it fulfuills the
THDA Health committee rec-
ommendation for 1969.
It was decided that Mr. Jim
G. Smith, a representative of
the Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety, would present the
program.
Local professional resource
people will answer questions
about drugs from selected panel
members. Questions will come
from the floor as the audience
is asked to write down any
questions that they may have
concerning drugs.
The date for this program
has not been set as yet, but look
for further publicity concern-
ing this program for around
the latter part of March. The
Triple “E” committee feels
that this is a community aware-
ness and action program that
will benefit facts-not fallacies
concerning drugs. This pro-
gram by all means is open to
the entire family, and to anyone
that is interested in learning
more about the effects of drugs
upon the human body.

They need respect not pity,
nor over-protection, nor baby-
ing. Though they also need your
financial support for education
and training, treatment and
care, they need YOU even more.
No amount of money or trained
manpower can substitute for the
most needed commodity of all,
and the most successful, a per-
son who cares. The rewards
are great.
They both can use and are in
great need of any donations you
are willing to give. Organiza-
tions and groups who are inter-
ested in touring the school
should contact the Psychology
Department at the school.
Those making the trip were:
Jean Hester, Claudia Barnard,
Linda Gutierrez, Susie Del-
Hierro, Mary Adkins, Gloria
Casillas, Sue Hester, Alice
Del Hierro, Renee Bussa, Ruth
Jiminez, Cathy Watson, Tanya
Bussa, Yolanda Casillas, and
Mrs. Veeta Reid.
The FHA had chosen as a pro-
\y'{ to help the State School by
making aprons for the elderly
ladies, baking cookies for the
Enchanted Barn (entertainment
center), and collecting jewelry
for the Arts and Crafts class-
es. Anyone wishing to help the
FHA with these items should
contact the FHA at school by
calling 658-6101.
Sgt. Edward E. Bernal, his
wife and son were here to visit
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elias
Bernal Sr. He left Vietnam on
the fifth of February. The Ber-
nals had a reunion on the week-
end of the seventh with all their
sons, George, Jessie, Elias Jr.
and of course Edward to cele-
brate his coming home.
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Hunt and
children of San Diego, Texas
and Severiano Ramon of Alice
were visiting the Elias Bernal
family and the Chris Jimenez
family. The families had post-
poned their Christmas visiting
until now so they could all be
together. Mr. and Mrs. Elias
Bernal Jr. have returned to
Dimmitt after spending a few
weeks here.

THANK YOU
Due to circumstances beyond my control we have
sold our grocery store here in Rochester. It has been
a pleasure to have been a part of this community with
its fine people. We feel that we have been blessed with
you, the finest customers in the world, and we also
have been blessed with having the finest help that
anyone could ask for. Without them, we could not
have made it.
We want you to know that we have, and do, ap-
preciate all you people have done for us and we want
you to know that we will still he able and willing to
help in any way possible.
We have sold the store to a fine, young family,
who we feel will be an asset to the town and commun-
ity. They are good, honest, God fearing people who
intend to make this their home. They have four chil-
dren, all of school age, and we hope you will be as
loyal to them as you have been to us.
We hope you will accept this as our feeble way
of saying, thank you for all the wonderful things you
have done, and we say, God bless and keep each of
you, is our prayer.
