Many lament change of time
WASHINGTON (AP) — For Moira Shea, an eye disease victun
who has trouble seeing at night. Sunday's switch from daylight-
saving to standard tune means more than an extra hour of sleep
"As of Monday, my life will be changed, because I'll have to come
home in the dark, and that won’t be easy," said Ms Shea, a govern-

In darkness "when I go home I kind of lose my depth perception."

degenerative eye disease that causes tunnel vision, night blindness
and. eventually for many, total blindness — at a news conference

Communists condemn kidnapping
WARSAW. Poland (AP) — The Communist Party has condemned
the kidnapping of a prosSolidarity priest and called for a review of
the Interior Ministry and severe punishment of the culprits, describ-
ed as "a few criminals, provocateurs and agents of bad cause "
Meanwhile, Poland's official PAP news agency noted Friday night
that the priest, missing since Oct 19. might have been murdered A
spokesman for the priest's supporters said they feel the chances of
finding him alive diminish with every hour.
It has not been explained yet who abducted, and perhaps also kill-
ed, the Rev Jerzy Popieluxzko, or for what motives,” the news agen-
cy said
Polish leader Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski told the opening session of
a two-day meeUtog of the party's Central Committee that the kidnap-
ping was an attapk against the party and Its leadership ." He term-
ed M an "net Aig ai banditry "

Dr. Jesse Pirales. chief of the
DSGH medical staff, commented.
"It just boils down to if you're a
Medicare recipient, it's hard to be
sick."
Objectives for PROs include
reducing unnecessary admissions
for diagnoses that can be safely
treated as an outpatient with, among
other maladies, digestive disorders,
asthma and medical back problems
The system is also designed to cut
down postoperative respiratory and
pulmonary complications after ab-
dominal and thoracic surgeries
Postoperative urinary tract infec-
tions and deaths by acute myocar-
dial interaction are also to be reduc-
ed.
Furthermore, the PRO system re-
quires "preprocedure reviews" for
six types of surgeries, including
unilateral inguinal hernia, hysterec-
tomies and total knee replacements
Such treatments can only be done
without prior TMF central office ap-
proval in medical emergencies.
That stipulation. Bullard said,
could prompt lawsuits It might be
difficult, he explained, for a hospital
to prove an emergency situation ex-
isted. "That's a big question right
there.”
Dr. Pirales pointed out neither
Medicare. HCFA nor TMF officials
are responsible for educating
Medicare recipients about the PRO
system Hospitals must assume that
responsiblity, he said.

FDA advised to continue ban
WASHINGTON (AP) — A special panel is advising the Food and
Drug Administration to continue its ban on the injectable contracep-
tive Depo-Provera on the ground that the drug may cause cancer in
women who take it.
The Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo, Mich . which makes Depo-
Provera for overseas markets said Fnday that it would file formal
objections to the panel's recommendations within 30 days
That means that FDA Commissioner Frank E. Young will have to
decide which side to take If Upjohn's view isn't upheld, the company
still could take the matter to court.
The three-member public board of inquiry , formed by the FDA in
1961. said the data linking the drug to breast cancer in beagles and
uterine cancer in monkeys "cannot be dismissed as irrelevant to the
human without conclusive evidence to the contrary. Such evidence is
not available at this time."
Its recommendation diminishes the chances that Upjohn will be
allowed to sell Depo-Provera in the United States The public board
of inquiry is a seldom-used option available to the FDA for highly
controversial matters

In 1950, the church added the Con-
kwright educational building to its
grounds, and in 1952 leased a lot at
i Glori eta, N.M., where the church
now has a lodge. In 1958, a new
elementary education building was
built, and a year later the church
sanctuary was redone with new
carpet, pews and a sound system.
New lights and a new paint Job were
also accomplished. I-ater, a lodge
was built at the High Plains Baptist
Assembly grounds near Canyon.
A new elevator was installed in
1964, and the new Fellowship Hall
was built in 1970. The church voted to
completely renovate the sanctuary
in 1979. It was completely stripped
and then rebuilt and refurbished. In-
cluded in the project was a "bride's

Pickax killer might testify
HOUSTON (AP) — A woman sentenced to death in connection
with the pickax murders of two people is not the common-law wife of
her co-defendant and may testify against him, a Judge says.
State District Judge A.D. Azios ruled Fnday that Karla Faye
Tucker and co-defendant Daniel R. Garrett were not husband and
wife at the tune of the grisly June 13,1983, slayings
Ms Tucker, 24. is expected to testify against Garrett next week
Garrett's attorney, Ray Bass, maintained that Ms Tucker and
Garrett. 26. were married by common law and that she could not
testify against him because of the husband-wife pnvilege.
Ms. Tucker and Garrett were accused of killing Jerry Lynn Dean.
26. and Deborah Ruth Davis Thornton. 32. The couple had been
struck repeatedly with a pickax and the ax was still embedded in Ms
Thornton's chest.
Ms Tucker was convicted of capital murder in Apnl and sentenc-
ed to death by injection Garrett 's capital murder trial began Oct 9.
Doggett, Gramm discuss money
U.S. Senate candidates Lloyd Doggett and Phil Gramm continued
their campaign of hurling charges at each other, this time about
campaign funds and whether they were obtained legally.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale,
wooing the Hispanic vote in El Paso, appeared Friday at the
405-year-old Ysleta plaza to attend the Ysleta Mission Fiesta.
Doggett said Friday that his Republican opponent took
money from "special interest groups" than the law allows.
In Austin, a Gramm spokesman Larry Neal said Doggett took
money from a political action committee, funded in part by Florida
dog racing interests, that violated federal election requirements.
Neal said Doggett got 81.000 from Grey PAC in May Neal said the
committee never filed the required registration with the Federal
Elecion Commission.
He also said contributors to Grey PAC donated more than the
$5,000 per year set by federal law. Neal said there apparently was
nothing wrong with the donation to Doggett, but added:
“The candidate bears some responsibility for seeing to it the dona-
tions he receives are from legally constituted entities."
Mothers say cadets 'scapegoats*
BRYAN, Texas (AP) — Four Texas A&M University students in-

pushups and situps, investigators said. He collapsed and later died
at a Bryan hospital.

Houston; Louis Fancher III, 20, of San Antonio; and Anthony
D'Alessandro, 21, of Houston on misdemeanor charges of hazing and
negligent homicide.

The First Baptist Church of
Hereford will observe its 85th an-
niversary Sunday (tonight) with the
Rev. Gerald Mann, former pastor, as
the principal speaker for a 6 p.m.
service.
The observance begins with a 5
p.m. reception for former staff
members and former church
members. The reception will be held
in Fellowship Hall.
The Sunday night service will also
feature the music of Jeryl Hoover
and Randy and Sherry Talley.
Former pastors Doug Manning and
B.L. Davis will also be recognized at
the reception and service. There are
only three former pastors now living.
A brief history of the church, con-
densed from the Deaf Smith County
History Book follows:
A group of 10 men and 8 women
met in a vacant store building on Oct.
15,1899, to organize a Baptist church.
A church covenant and articles of
faith wqre approved and the name of
"First r utist Church" was adopted.
Shortly after organizing, a pastor
was called from Canyon at a salary
of $180 per year. T. J. Bumett was the
first pastor. In one year’s time, the
church outgrew its meeting place
and started a building fund. The new
building, at 4th and Jackson, was

completed by Christmas time, 1900.
The first service was a musical pro-
gram with a community Christmas
tree.
In July, 1910 a Sunday School an-
nex was added and a baptismal spot
was acquired on Tierra Blanca
Creek. The baptistry and dressing
rooms were not built until three
years later. A Ladies Aid Society
(later called the Women’s Mis-
sionary Union) was organized and
they were soon busy sewing, quilting
and doing work for the needy. The
Men’s Brotherhood was organized in
1938.
Only 18 years after the first church
was built, a larger building was re-
quired. E.W. Harrison donated a
building site in March, 1928, on the
comer of Main and 5th streets-the
present location of the church.
Public subscriptions for a new
building were raised in the amount of
$64,614.
The groundbreaking was held June
18, 1928 with Mr. Harrison turning
the first shovel, but he died before
the building was finished. The first
service in the new church was held
May 19, 1929 The building note was
reduced to $24,000 before the "dust
bowl" days came, but even then the
members reduced the debt to $10,000.
