Chreak Csld sr Allergies
Does it seem like you have been
sick with a cold forever? Your
nose is sore from blowing and you
feel it you could just take your
head off you would feel great. You
may not have a cold. Sometimes
allergies and sinus are mistaken
for colds
If you have a cold, it can develop
into a bacterial infection such as
bronchitis or pneumonia. Watch
for symptoms of bacterial
infections. According to
Healthwise Handbook, call a
health care provider if the
following signs develop:
*Fever of 104 degrees or higher
that doesn’t come down after two
hours of home treatment
"Fever of 101 degrees with
shaking chills and a productive
cough.
"Persistent fever. Viral illnesses
such as flu may cause fevers of
102 degrees or higher for short
periods of time (12-24 hours). Call
a health care provider if the fevers
stays high: "102 degrees or higher
for two full days, "101 degrees or
higher for three days, *100
degrees or higher for four days
"If you think you have the flu
"Labored, shallow, rapid
breathing with shortness of breath.
"Sputum (mucus coughed up
from the lungs) is yellow, green,
rust-colored or bloody
"If signs of sinusitis develop
such a facial pain or fever.
"Nasal discharge changes from
clear to yellow or green after five
to seven days of a cold and other
symptoms are worsening. If nasal
discharge is yellow or green firtpn
the start of a cold, call if it lists
longer than 7 to 10 days
"Coughs that last longer than 7
to 10 days after other symptoms
hqve cleared, especially if it is a
productive cough (bringing up
sputum). A dry hacking cough
may last several weeks after a
cold.
Good self-care helps to prevent
colds from developing into more
serious bacterial infections.
Palling your health care provider
when symptoms indicate a more
serious problem will help prevent
complications and reoccurrence of
illness.
Blown Away
Colds often cause runny noses
and congestion Runny noses need
to be blown often to rid your body
of excess mucus. If you don’t blow
your nose, the mucus will go back
into your nasal passages and cause
more congestion and pain.
Remember to gently blow your
nose with soft tissue. Use
petroleum jelly to keep your nose
from getting red
CHS Juniors and

In browsing around the mu-
seum, one can find a lot of inte-
resting things to share, some of
which we will take time to do so
now.
One is a collection of the most
admired songs of Schubert-
Mendelssohn entered according to
Act of Congress in the year 18S2,
donated to the museum by Jesse
Austin Holman family. Would
love to get the Reverend John Clif-
ford to give us a concert of these
on his guitar as the ballads are
arranged to guitar music, such as
the Irish Ballad, and the Scotch,
and others.
Jesse Austin Holman family was
known as some of the early settlers
in the county. hljobe time, he

owned the J. A* Holman Abstract
Company which was later
purchased by Comanche County
Abstract Co. Jesse Austin Holman
was bom in Texas June 4, 1842,
and died May 27, 1922 in
Comanche. His mother was Nancy
Beeman, daughter of Jesse Bee-
man of Texas historical fame who
was the first white child bom in
Stephen F. Austin Colony, Fe-
bruary 22, 1822.
Lottie Holman Card’s pen and
ink etchings of the various homes
in Comanche are very interesting.
We are in the process of trying to
get them mounted on foe wall in
the Comanche Room, so they will
be easier viewed. One picture is of
the Methodist Church at
Comanche in 1880.
jShe wrote on the back side that
“A cyclone blew the roof of this
church off and it was moved
across the street to the East, and a
new church of rock was erected
some time before 1882. J. A.
Holman «qedmg,a house ab which
his family, a wife and 5 children,
might live, and no vacant houses
in town, he was given permission
to move into this church which
had been repaired. That was. in the
spring of 1882. My mother parti-
tioned off some rooms with calico
curtains. Note: lightning rods on
the roof of the church in the
picture. L.Holman Card.”
Joyce Burk was cleaning out
some of her keepsakes, and
brought a picture of the United
Methodist Church Women. Of the
forty women, only four of the
group are still with us. The picture
is not dated.
She brought another picture of
Comanche County Swine Short-
course, dated March 17, 1958,
showing Angus Dickson, County
Agent, along wife Bill Parker, Don
Chester, Percy Parsons, Ory
Beaty, Barney Stokes, Woodley
Sadberry of DeLeon, and others
They all looked very young.
Also, she donated a very inte-
resting notebook of the collection
of people who had lived at Sipe
Springs. She gives credit to several
who assisted with names of some
of die kids in some of the families,
as she could not have done it
without the information from
Oleta and Bernard Stamey, Mae
Rye Leonard, Ruby and Dick
Wyatt, Miaguerite Almond Alford,
Billy Jane Steward Breeding,
Dorothy F. Robertson, and Glenn
Jones. fa
Even so, same ftinushed infor-
mation, die copied ail of the infor-
mation and caratuOy inserted them
into plastic coven for the
notebook, and the ftmihaa are tt
arranged in alphabetical order
Wouldn't that be nice if we had
a listing of the many ftmibas that
had lived in each community I
We enjoyed Lena and Marvin
Bowden with their daughtar-in-
taw, Ann and grandchildren
Megan and James Bowden. Also,
other visitors on Sunrfay
afternoon, which were about
twenty-five.
Ben Evndge was reading an
1928 issue of the Comanche Chief
and pointed out an article in which
W. A Carieton, who lived about 5
miles north of Comanche, wanted
to challenge his “cow” horse in a
race to be held in Comanche’s
First Annual Round-up September
1,1928. Bryan Boykin quickly
accepted the challenge. However,
another man decided to enter the
race, which made it a three-horse
race.
Bryan Boykin stated it was his
intention to enter his brother,
Gaston, to ride for him, because he
was the fastest man in saddling a
horse that he ever knew. It was
determined that it was not only the
speed of the horse, but the speed
die rider has in saddling the horse,
that counts.
Since- Gaston Boykin’s last
encounter with a cow, on his
ranch, he has not been able to be
with us at the museum. Hang in
there Gaston.
