Rae Johnston Adams
to begin medical school
At a special White Coat
Ceremony on Monday, July 26,
2004 at 3:00 p.m. in Rudder
Theater on the Texas A&M
University campus, Rae Ann
Johnston Adams of Comanche
took part in a time-honored
tradition, receiving a white coat
signifying entry into the medical
profession.
Adams is one of the members
of the entering Class of 2008 at
the Texas A&M University
System Health Science Center
College of Medicine. She is the
daughter of Debbie and the late
Ray Johnston of Comanche.
The physician’s white coat has
been a part of the medical
profession since the 19th century.
The concept originated from the
operating room’s white coat, and
has served as a visual symbol of
the profession that stands for the
need to balance excellence in
science with compassionate
caring for the patient.

Proctor Lake to implement fee for
waterfowl hunting in wetland areas
The U.S. Army Corps of En-
gineers, Ft. Worth District, is
implementing a pilot program for
charging a “Special Activity Per-
mit Fee” at some of its lake
projects. The Corps charges fees
under the authority of the Land
and Water Conservation Fund Act
for the public use of recreation
I sites and facilities provided at Gov-
ernment expense. Special Activ-
ity fees include but are not limited
to hunting and off-road vehicle
use. The fees are being imple-
mented in an effort to recover
administrative costs associated
with providing these programs. If
the pilot program is determined to
be successful, fees fo? similar pro-
grams at other Corps lakes may
be incorporated in the future.
Fort Worth District lakes par-
ticipating in the pilot program are
Lake Georgetown, Wright-
Patman Lake, and Proctor Lake.

tionwide, with preteens and teens conducted in late July to early
adding another $884 million of September to coincide with the
their own money to the total.
Retailers in Texas should see
an additional bump in traffic and
spending due to a state Sales Tax
Holiday planned for the weekend
of August 6*8. During the tax holi-
day, clothing purchases of up to
$100 will be tax-free throughout
the state.
“Sales tax holidays have
proven to be tremendously suc-
cessful at drawing people into
stores and giving a boost to the
economy while helping consum-
ers save money,” NRF Vice Presi-
dent and Tax Counsel Rachelle
Bernstein said. “Americans have
hated paying taxes all the way
back to the Boston Tea Party, and
sales tax holidays play to that
emotion.”
