This is a great nation. One
chief reason for that great-
ness lies in the attitude of
those who founded the
nation, revealed in one line
of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence: “With a firm
reliance upon the protection
of Divine Providence.”
This nation was built, as
our pledge states, “under
God.” No nation can survive
which is built on another
basis: “Except the Lord
build the house, they labor
in vain that build it; except
the Lord keep the city, the
watchman waketh but in
vain (Psalm 127:1). As was
written long ago in Psalm
33:12, “Blessed is the nation
whose God is the Lord.”
But this great nation is
beset by problems. Why?
What can be done? God
answers: "Can a maid forget
her ornaments, or a bride
her attire? Yet my people
have forgotten me (Jeremiah
2:32). The further a nations
gets from God, the more
problems will multiply. But
what happens when a nation
turns back to God? “If my
people, which are called by
my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will
heal their land” (II Chron-
icles 7:14). Christ is the
answer! As Solomon wrote
in Proverbs 14:34, “Right-
eousness exalteth a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any
people.”

answer?fo your questionsfrom
the Texas Department of Health
The Texas Department
of Health (TDH) is
charged by law to protect
the consumer from bad
oysters. This column
describes “bootleg”
oysters and why you
should watch out for
them.
QUESTION: What are
bootleg oysters and can
you get sick from eating
them?
ANSWER: Bootlegging
refers to catching, proc-
essing and selling oysters
without a state certifica-
tion number. These il-
legal oysters may come
from unapproved waters
and can make you ill with
typhoid fever, infectious
hepatitis or gastroenter-
itis, usually known as
food poisoning or a
“severe upset stomach.”
QUESTION: How big is
the bootleg oyster prob-
lem in Texas?
ANSWER; “Bootlegg-
ing could be a popular
practice this year,” says
Richard E. Thompson,
with the Shellfish Sanita-
tion Control Division of
TDH. “The oyster season
usually begins on
November 1, but this
year it was delayed by
the Parks and Wildlife
Department until Decem-
ber 15 to let the smaller
oysters grow to maturity.
“Also, because of in-
flation, I think some peo-
ple may try to supplement
their fulltime jobs by go-
ing after oysters as a
sideline.”
QUESTION: Why do
people buy bootleg
oysters?
ANSWER: “Illegal oy-
sters are cheaper be-
cause those selling them
don’t have to invest in
making a plant meet cer-
tification requirements,”
Thompson said. “But the
consumer may really not
be saving money. What
good is saving three
dollars on a gallon of
oysters if you have to be
treated for hepatitis?”

In Tune With Retirement
For a hearty group of retirees in Sarasota, Florida, “Time On
My Hands" is strictly the title of an old song and never a
complaint. These men and women, most of whom originally
hailed from north-eastern and midwestern states, have not
rediscovered Ponce de Leon’s fabled fountain of youth. Many,
however, have rediscovered
music, and music-making has
become their key to remain-
ing vital, interested and in-
teresting. They are members
of The Sarasota Mobile Home
Park Concert Band.
A unique group in which the
average player is 74 years
“young,” the band currently
consists of more than 50 mu-
sicians representing 14 mobile
home parks. Its first perform-
ance was an impromptu affair
at a 1932 meeting of “Tin Can
Tourists” in Arcadia, Florida.
It really, got organized in
1933, when the group moved
to Sarasota and called them-
selves the Sarasota Trailer
Park Band. The word trailer
became mobile home 21 years
later. The present maestro,
Leo J. Laier, picked up the
baton in 1964 and has not
missed a downbeat since.
The band’s uniqueness stems
partly from its age and partly
from the age of its members,
but the high quality of its
music remains its principal
claim to fame. According to
Carl V. Bovard of The Selmer
Company, and a member of
the advisory council of the
Association of Concert Bands
of America, “They were great
when they played for our
1979 convention, and ACBA is
planning a survey to see how
many other such bands there
are.”’
Whatever the number, a lot
of lively senior citizens will be
found, like those in Sarasota,
making music and pleasing
audiences. “Concert bands,”
says maestro Laier, “have room
for all levels of performers.
We range from amateurs who
hadn't played in years to pro-
fessionals. It’s satisfying for
everyone. It must be. Last year
two of our members retired at
age 95, still playing clarinets.”
DRIVELINE
England's Richard I, called
the Lion-Hearted, was both
a poet and a singer.
Nothing could be dumber than a head-on colli-
sion, right? Here's a pop quiz: How many of them
occur every year? 500,000? One million? Well, ac-
cording to the National Safety Council, Ameri-
cans have over four million head-ons every year
GASOHOL! GASOHOL! GASOHOL! Every-
body's talking about gasohol these days as one
solution to our energy conservation problem. All
you do is take pure alcohol distilled from grain
and blend it with regular gasoline. Isn't progress
wonderful? Funny thing, though, gasohol's one of
the oldest ideas around. We were just too lazy
(and oil was too cheap) to do anything about it.
Amazing fact: Henry Ford designed one of his
earliest autos, back in the 1880's, to run on alco-
hol. And famous Model T was built with an adjus-
table carburetor so it could run on pure alcohol.
As late as 1938, there were 2,000 independent ser-
vice stations in the Midwest selling gasohol under
the brand name "Agrol."
Maybe this is an idea whose time has come . . .
Grim Statistic: Over 100,000 American children
are injured every year in car accidents. Moral: We
and our children should buckle our seatbelts ...
Four out of every ten Americans ride a bike at
least once a year. One fifth of bicycle accident
fatalities occur to persons over 35. Many car-bicy-
cle accidents happen at night; so if you're pedaling
out after dark, wear bright clothing and use reflec-
tors and lights on your bike. A driver can't avoid
you unless he sees you first.
Question: What is a toroidal shaped flexible mem-
brane pressure vessel composed of long-chain
macromolecules?
Answer: A tire.
Flash from the Past . . . Painted center stripes on
highways were first seen in Detroit in 1911 . . .
Drive-in gas stations were first built in Pittsburg in
1913 . . .

At times the Renaissance painter Raphael had 50 assis-

“Excellent. Now do you have any other references

Texas Power & Light Company began a massive
program back in 1968 to reduce its dependency on
natural gas and oil by using lignite coal as a generating
plant fuel. The first lignite-fueled generating unit began
operation in 1971. Today, there are eight lignite units in
operation and others are under construction or being
planned. In 1979, we used approximately 11 million
tons of lignite coal to produce electricity. Had we used
oil to generate the same amount of electricity, it would
have required 1,066 million gallons... that’s 25 million
barrels... and that can make a lot of gasoline. We’re
working hard to do our part to help ease the
energy crisis.
