"Strike Force" To
Explode This Weekend!
Only a few days remain before the
northeast Texas area will experience
one of the nations most sought after
teams of motivational and inspira-
tional speakers, Keith Craftand Strike
Force.
Strike Force, a group of interna-
tionally known athletes, travel the
world demonstrating feats of strength
like those seen on the "World's Strong-
est Man" contest, "That's Incredible"
and "Wide World of Sports". One
man bends steel bars in his teeth!
Another breaks 12 feet of ice with his
head! A third crushes 5 feet of con-
crete as it bursts into flames, with his
fist. Keith Craft, who was recruited
two years by the Dallas Cowboys for
his size and strength, breaks out of
steel handcuffs.
"These feats of strength are a tool
we use to get peoples' attention,”
explains Keith Craft, leader of the
team. "We then speak a powerful
message of hope. During school as-
semblies wccncouragc young people
to take a stand against drugs, alcohol,
suicide and immoral sex. Our eve-
ning programs arc much bigger. More
exciting, dramatic feats are per-
formed, and it’s then when we are
able to present the most important
thing about our lives: our relation-
ship with Jesus Christ."
Each member shares a testimony
of victorious living in Christ, with
evangelist Keith Craft preaching the
word of God.
Strike Force is scheduled to be at
Rivercrest Stadium on August 10 and
11 at 8 p.m. For more information,

Nichols
Worth
By Nanalee Nichols
I heard a very strange story
today. It concerned a woman
who ordered food at a fast food
place in Paris. Realising that she
had forgotten to get any cash,
she went out to her vehicle and
picked up some rolled
change...nicklcs, dimes and
quarters.
This change was rolled in
proper bank-type wrappers.
When she tried to pay the girl
at the cash register with this
change the child scurried off into
the back and returned with the
I manager.
The manager stared at the
change then stomped back to the
office, returning with a cl ipboard
on which were some forms.
It seems that to pay for a meal
with rolled change this gal was
expected to fill out forms and
sign them!
On principal she informed
them they could keep their food
and picked up the money and
left.
What's happening? Since
when wasn't the coin of the realm
good enough? Why should one
have to fill out a form to pay for
something with change?
But, with inflation what it is
today, coins seem to be looked
at in much that manner.
Have you tried to give a kid
over the age of six coins lately?
They look at you with a sidew-
ise, "don't you have any BILLS"
look!
People have gotten to a point
where they don’t even bother to
pick up a penny on the
sidewalk..much less spend time
hunting down between car seats
or under desks for a lost nicklc.
Yet now, as always, saving
coins can really mount up.
It's just that somewhere along
the line almost everyone, from
chidlrcn to adults, has been led
to believe that coins don't
count...that they don't amount.
But they do! I know a lady in
the newpaper businessaboutfifty
miles from here who took the
quarters from the newsstands her
paper has (total, 4 stands) and
put all those quarters in savings.
Twenty years later she had over
16,000!
We always save our odd
change and put it in a piggy
bank...and every year on vaca-
tion we use it to bring back
something nice for the house, a
painting or art figurine.We've
collected some very nice things
over the years, just by putting
the nickles and dimes left over
from the week's purchases in a
kSeparateplace.
r Yes .coins do count. Four
quarters still makes a dollar. Put
enough together and you can go
anywhere, buy anything.
It's the only cold, hard cash
we have, really. So why should
forms be required before it's
spent.
You tell me...I’d really like to
know.

Deputy Constable Precinct I
Ronald Clark is now based in Talco.
Mr. Clark will be living in Talco
and working in Talco as well as Pre-
cincts 1,3 and 4. He has served in law

Clark states that he has been basil
in the northern part of Titus County
to better serve the people of Talco.
Sometimes the 10 or 15 minutes it
takes for a deputy to respond from
Mt. Pleasant to the Talco area could
mean the difference between catch-
ing an offender in the act and having
to catch an offender through an in-
vestigation.
