it would take a lot more work
by a lot more people.
A problem faced by ABLES
is that everyone still does not
know (1) that Burleson’s M.L.S.
does not make calls outside toe
Burleson Gty Limits except for
A.B.L.E.S. members and read
accidents; and (2) neither does
everyone know of toe existence
of ABLES. Mr. Robson said
that everyone must help inform
all toe people by telling their
friends and neighbors about AB-

tion.

Practical speaking, said Bug,

in toe case of toe crazy killer
he couldn’t see but one side.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Our courts can’t be in as big
a pMM as Bug Hokum thinks.
He says there’s no hope fer a
killer that’s judged to craxy .to
hold down a-job. I say there's
somepun to be said fer a court
that-can tell a ham from a
turkey. And a U.S. District
Court that will make that ruling
in spite of a U.S. Department
of Agriculture opinion to toe
contrary can’t be all bad.
Back in 1971, toe USDA said a
poultry outfit could market
somepun called turkey ham.
The pgi people protested til they
final got a decision the other
day out of a District Court in
Richmond, Va. The judge wrote
a M-page opinion that said
. you’d come as near making a
silk purse out of a sow’s ear as
you wou^ making pork out of

The most crucial factor often
though is the kind of “fthto*

the hospital care” that a pat-

‘ nations may die or be paraly-

in some way if they are not gi-
ven toe proper medications er
treatment before they get to
the hospital. This is why mem-
bers of ABLES, most of which
are in the extreme northeast-
ern comer of Johnson County
feel that they cannot be with-
out a more prompt service than 1
one that has to come from Ge-
burne. This is why members
feel that they cannot depend on
private cars to take fami^F and
friends to the hospital and lose
precious seconds without pro*

dics can gtoe.
