Forum seeks
host families
for students
The International Education
Forum is currently seeking
families interested in hosting an in-
ternational student for the up-
coming school year.
IEF is a non-profit organization,
interested in promoting good will
and peace through the exchange of
high school students.
The exchange student would stay
in the host’s home as part of their
family. Their own families supply
their spending money and full
medical coverage. The host family
supplies only a place to live, meals
and a chance for the student to
become involved in their family
life.
Boys and girls from all over
Europe, Japan and many other
countries will arrive in August for a
10-month stay. Students chosen to
participate in this program go
through an intense screening
process. They must speak English
well, be between 14-18 years of age
and have proven academic ability
These are kids who really want to
come to America.
Anyone interested in a rewarding
cultural experience, please contact
Brenda Raiborn at (214) 683-2173.
CITIZENSHIP RSH lab accredited by pathologists
CHEROKEE COUNTY PARTICIPANTS in the Texas Farm
Bureau Citizenship Seminar June 13-17 in San Angelo were
these students (l-r), Jason Duplichain, Alto; Angela Easley, Alto;
Christy Cox, Rusk; and Chad Bradford, Alto. They were among
400 junior and senior high students who represented their
counties at the training school, held on the campus of Angelo

Old Ag program replaced
with ‘ Agriscience ’ courses
Vocational Agriculture I-IV is no
more. The new title for Agriculture
classes is Agriscience; and along
with a new name comes a complete
change in the courses. Included in
the changes is the offering of new
courses and the elimination of some
old ones.
The courses will cover many new
areas along with the traditional
areas in Agriculture. The new cour-
ses to be offered this year are:
Diversified Agriculture, Introduc-
tion to Horticulture, World
Agriculture, Applied Agriculture,
General Agriculture Mechanics,
Home Maintenance and Im-
provement, Animal Science, Plant
Science, Introduction to Agriculture
Mechanics, Horticulture Plants,
Landscaping, Fruit, Nut, and
Vegetable Production, and Wildlife
Management.
These new courses should spark
interest in many of those students
who would not normally take
Agriculture classes. One such cour-
se is Wildlife Management. This
course will qualify the students for
the hunter safety certificate, a soon
to be requirement for a hunting
license. The Horticulture classes
deal with greenhouse plants and
home landscaping, a new area for
agriculture and a big business in
Cherokee county.
Students are encouraged to sign
up for these classes as soon as
possible during registration because
we expect them to fill up fast. For
more information on the new classes
contact Jeff Cannon or Keith Hen-
dricks at the high school.

Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis,
D-Fort Worth, has appointed newly

of Cliff Johnson, who resigned from

The laboratory at Rusk State
Hospital has been awarded a two-
year accreditation by the Com-
mission on Laboratory Ac-
creditation of the College of
Ampriran Pat hnlnvists (CAP)
baaed on results of a recent on-site
inspection.
John D. Batjer, M.D., FCAP,
Commission Chairman, advised the
laboratory of this national
recognition and congratulated its
staff for the “excellence of the ser-
vices being provided.” The Rusk
State Hospital has one of the 3,600
CAP-accredited laboratories
nationwide.
Begun in the early 1960s, the
College’s program was the first
peer-review program for clinincal
laboratory accreditation. Even bef-
ore government agencies mandated
it, pathologists voluntarily were in-
specting and accrediting
laboratories to maintain the highest
quality laboratories possible.
Today the CAP Laboratory Ac-
creditation Program is one of the
few recognized by the federal
government as requiring adherence
to standards equal to or more
stringent than the government’s
own. The inspection itself is one of
the most rigorous a laboratory can
experience, and may require up to a
year of advance preparation by the
laboratory staff.
The program uses unpaid but well-
qualified volunteer pathologists,
doctoral scientists, medical
technologists, and pathology
residents from College-accredited
laboratories to inspect and evaluate
laboratory services and provide un-
biased consulting services to the
laboratory. Each inspection team is
headed by a board-certified
pathologist with specialized training
in the inspection process.
The inspectors examine the
records and quality control of the
laboratory for the preceding two
years, as well as the education and
qualifications of the total staff, the
adequacy of the facilities, the
equipment, laboratory safety, and
laboratory management to deter-
mine how well the laboratory is ser
ving the patient.
The College of American
Pathologists is a national medical
specialty society of physicians cer
tified by the American Board of
Pathology.

If you want a beautiful lawn, you are going to have
to water a little more than past summers. Do this in
late evenings or early mornings so as not to lose too
much in evaporation with the heat of the day. Since
you are going to water, it will help to fertilize lightly
about every 30 days. Be sure and control your
weeds as best you can because they consume a lot
of water and fertilizer. Remember ... your lawn is
cheaper to maintain than it is to rebuild.
If you have ANTS or any type of insects, we can help you with
whatever your need may be.
If your cattle need a little help you may want to
feed “Hay Stretcher” because it has held its price a
little better than most feeds.
Our 14% Pasture Supplement is still the best buy for your cat-
