Q—Please explain the meaning of amino acids and
nicotinic acid.
A-When proteins are broken down in the process
of digestion they are absorbed in the blood as amino
adds The body uses these as building blocks to
form the proteins needed in muscles, nerves and
other tissues.
Q-How closely related are rheumatoid arthritis
and lupus erythematosis?
A—Most persons with lupus sooner or later have
an involvement of their joints. Often this is the first
manifestation of the disease. On the ether hand,
there is nothing to prevent a person who has rheum-
atoid arthritis from getting lupus or vice versa.

Q—After X-ray treatment does a cancer ever heal
completely or is its growth just arrested?
A—Some cancers have been completely destroyed
by a prolonged course of X-ray treatment, but often
the process is only arrested or the treatment fails
to reach remote parts at the body where a few
cancer cells remain
Q—My doctor says that I have Banti's disease
What causes it and what can be done for it?
A—You have a form of anemia that is associated
with enlargement of the spleen In some victims
there is bleeding into the stomach followed by vomit-
ing Others notice a marked heaviness in the abdo-
men due to the enlarged spleen. Victims frequently
complain of hemorrhoids or piles Bleeding from the
stomach is the chief hazard and when it occurs trans-
fusion is necessary followed by the taking of iron in
some form. Several operations have been recom-
mended and some form of operation offers the best
hope for a cure. The type of operation to be per-
formed should be left up to your surgeon.

Our turkeys should be wild, and stuffed with
beechnuts.
Speaking of the noble bird, our domestic store-
bought fowl are not descendants of the Pilgrims'
bird but are immigrants from Europe of a stock
which was developed by the Aztecs and was car-
ried over from Mexico by the Spaniards So the
turkey is doubly American
it originally got its name from confusing it
with the guinea cock, a bird that was raised in
Turkey, (la Turkey, the turkey is known as
“the American bird.")
There is probably one further similarity between
a modem Thanksgiving and that of the Pilgrims:
Undoubtedly more than one of the partakers of that
first feast staggered away from the groaning board
absolutely convinced that he would never want to
eat another morsel in his life
This, while his good wife sat with head on hand
contemplating a monumental clean up job and what
to do with the leftovers.

The announcement by President Johnson
that he is not going to make any major
changes immediately in either personnel or
policies of the administration was expected.
As he said himself in a speech at Orange
four years ago. Johnson is a middle of the
roader who is much more interested in re-
sults than issues. With a presidential election
year coming up and the Republicans more
hopeful than ever now of recapturing the
White House, there are going to be some
issues confronting Johnson. But we're con-
fident he will put the national interest above
politics in dealing with them.
In coping with these issues he may very
well make some changes later on in the
Cabinet and other high places in his ad-
A communique to the news media in Texas from
Rep Joe Pool of Dallas, our state’s congressman
at large, begins with these words: “Some of the
most prolix discussion about the 88th session cf
Congress has concerned when we will adjourn and
what will have been accomplished before
adjournment."
Prolix is a real good word although it doesn’t
often appear in print. In the vernacular of our area
it means long, drawn out Rep Pool adds In his
news letter that as a freshman member of the
House, he is interested in a description of what ac-
tually happens at adjournment
This account, also contained in a communique to
a newspaper, was composed by one of the Texas
lawmaker's predecessors He wrote
“Did you. my good reader, ever witness a break-
ing up of Congress? . . . They never calculate on
much to be done on the last day of the session ex-
cept to send messages to the Senate and President
that they are ready to adjourn.
“We generally lounge or squabble the greater
part of the session and crowd into the last days
of tor term three or four tmes the business done
during as many preceding months .. . Woe betide
a bill that is opposed. It is laid aside far a farther
time, and that never comer.
' Well, before they adjourn, each House sends a
message to the other to inform them that, having
finished all the business before , them, they are
ready to adjourn.
“Now this compliment would be all genteel
enough, but there's too much lie in It for me. If
they would say that the hour of adjourning is about
to arrive and they are off and send their compli-
menu to their wives and children and wish them
a good journey and so on, I could carry such a
measage myself, but what's the fact? We have left
nearly 400 bills of our House still unacted upon
and which must Ue over until next session
“After these two truth-telling messages are sent,
some great or would-be great man gets up and
moves that a message be sent to the President, in-
forming him that unless he has some further com-
munication to them, both houses are ready to ad-
journ. . . . Beck comes an answer saying he has
nothing more This is, or is not, true as the case
may be.
"Hi right odd to leek around and see toe dit-
ference of faces on this oecasion. Some quit,
thinking that they have established a name in the
nation and took satisfied; some quit, right glad to

2 Recreation has become one of the nation a
biggest and most important industries. As
our people grow more prosperous and the
number of their hours which can be devoted
to leisure are increased, recreation will as-
sume an even more significant role in our
affairs.
» At the same time, it is going to become
more and more Involved in conflicts with
other types of industry. As a result, bitter
controversies other than those already raging
will develop. And we are beginning to be in
dire need of state and national policies aimed
at minimizing the effect of these squabbles.
Gov. John Connally has begun moving
toward the establishment of such policies for
the state government of Texas. He has ap-
pointed a special commission, representing
all sides of the issues, to look into the prob-
lem and make a report and recommendations
to the governor and the legislature.
This commission has only recently begun
work and must do a great deal of research,
as well as engage in many deliberations, be-
fore its members reach any firm conclusions.
Meantime, several controversies arising
from conflicts between recreation-end -other
industries and interests are in progress. And
the unfortunate thing about each of these
is the fact that many of those on the side
of recreation in these fights are letting
emotion rather than fact govern their
thinking.
This was certainly true of the legislative
battle over user-fees on public lakes and
reservoirs in Texas which prompted appoint-
ministration. In one instance this will depend
on Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy’s personal
wishes and political ambitions. In other cases
the governing factor will be the ability and
willingness of present occupants of these
posts to bridge the gap between their former
boss and the present one.
.We 'feel sure that the national govern-
ment will be steered by Johnson nearer to
the middle of the road than it has been for
the past few years. This is certain to place
growing responsibility for state and local
problems on state, regional and local agencies
of government. And that’s something which
all of us as citizens and each member of these
agencies need to be thinking about and mak-

flag and the Republic for which
it stands
On Friday. Nov. 22, aa the
bell for sixth period was about
to begin ringing, someone came
through the halls armn—ring
the assassination attempt upon
the President
Each student talked, disbe-
lieving that anything of that
nature could have taken place.
Then as we assembled in our
respective classrooms, the news
flash came over the public ad-
dress system that President
Kennedy had been shot and was
in very critical condition
As I looked around the class-
room. before I prayed myself,
for a few seconds, each head
ment of the governor’s recreation study com-
mission. This attack was aimed- directly at
the state’s Sabine River Authority, and was
inspired by Dallas area fishermen and boat-
ing enthusiasts who apparently are unwilling
to pay the full coat of their favorite sports.
In this instance, temporarily at least,
reason won out The legislature refused to
pass two bills aimed at outlawing such fees.
One of the jobs of the governor’s study com-
mission will be to attempt to evolve an
equitable policy on user charges for public
lakes and reservoirs in Texas
Emotion also is greatly involved with the
current raging controversy over harvesting
oyster shell in Galveston and Trinity bays.
The recently created Texas Parks and Wild-
life Commission is trying desperately to work
out an equitable solution to this problem but
is finding itself handicapped by the unwill-
ingness of sportsmen involved to look at the
picture objectively.
Both emotion and the yen for a fast buck
are involved in the fight over a proposed
fixed-span bridge across the Sabine-Neches
shipping channel at Port Arthur. In this
case, recreation interests have indicated a
willingness to destroy an important segment
of this area's steel fabricating and shipbuild-
ing industry so that Pleasure Island can be
developed for their purposes.
The biggest problem connected with all
this is one of getting both the state and
federal governments to come up with policies
based on fact and which protect the interests
of the majority rater than some minority.

The very name Thanksgiving conjures up an
image of a table heaped with an abundance of dif-
ferent foods One can almost taste the dark, rich
turkey gravy and breathe the smell of steaming
hot chestnuts
This is as it should be, for Thanksgiving is the
day to remember the special blessings we as
Americans enjoy, and surely one of them has al-
ways been a plentitude of food in this respect.
Thanksgiving is the most American of our holidays.
For chances are that most tobies across the
nation are set almost exclusively with foods that
were known to toe Indians long before the white
man came and which they taught settlers to use.
They range from the traditional turkey, potatoes
(white or yellow), different kinds of beans, cran-
berries, squash, pumpkin and corn right throught
the after-dinner tobacco
Other grown in-America foods are tapioca, choco-
late, pineapple, avocado, peppers and various nuts.
To be really authentic, our menus should include
these dishes which the Pilgrims also enjoyed:

BURLINGTON, WIS, STANDARD - PRESS:
“Someone has said we are what we eat ... as the
federal government takes over more and more con-
trol of our society’s channels of communication? It
is literally 'feeding' us' its own brand of information
.... within the last year a new federal aviation
agency publication has been launched for general
consumption, the agricultural department has es-
tablished a wire service for market prices; the
commerce department is about to launch a banking
X magszine . . . and, finally, there is now being con-
sidered a general federal government wire to dis-
seminate information passed by government offi-
cials So, if we are what we sal — swallow; then,
we have ample evidence before us now to assume
that we will also start thinking favorably toward
our 'benefactors' who are so graciously offering of-
ficial information Such a Utopian climate of pre-
cast facts is the democratic version of
brainwashing."

“Some are restless and fidgety, with a journal
under their arm to take home, to prove hoy punc-
tual they were. others are soberly and dly cal-
culating bow they can travel down from their
heights of political dignity to the level of their
constituents
“Few have got more honor than they expected
many have got less; few have risen higher than was
expected, many. very many have found that the
regions are far too elevated for them to reach
with their homemade glory "
The news release containing these words were
dispatched to a publication in Tennessee in the
year 1831. The author was Congressman Davy
Crockett who later turned from lawmaking to em-
pire making and died a hero's death at the Alamo
As Pool intimated in his communique, the words
of the rough-hewn but articulate "King of the Wild
Frontier" stand as a challenge to the present mem-
bers of Congress
Our nation is la the midst of a crisis brought
on by the assassination of a President. This
erisis comes at a time when honest dlferences of
opinion plus • pood deal of old-fashioned politick-
lag has left Congress close to th end of a session
with a great deal of important but unfinished
bsthess.
I'm certain that all members of Congress now
have dedicated themselves to the proposition that
they need to get a lot of thia business completed
before notifying each other and President Johnson
that they are ready to adjourn.
At the same time, I should like to point out to
the readers that the system of democracy which has
made America great is itself the basis for the kind
of a situation commented on by Crockett in his
news release. But I would not change the system
or propose that It be changed
On this particular Thanksgiving Day. as
never before in the nation’s history, all Americans
can be most grateful for the fact that the Lord In
His wisdom has seen fit to bless our country with a
system of government which, with all its flaws, is
the more stable and more rewarding for the in-
dividual citizen than any other system yet devised
by mankind.
Some called themselves “saints " They referred
to others as "strangers Still others were servants
and hired hands
There were 102 at them all told, counting two
boys born at sea and two who died at sea They
were the Mayflower passengers who landed at

is your name among them? If all those who
over the years have claimed descent from the
original Mayflower passengers had actually had
ancestors on the ship. It must have been the
size of Use USS Eaterprise, at least.
But there were only 102 of them (even that was
crowding the little craft), and less than half of these
survived that first cruel winter
Though we call them all Pilgrims and have
linked them inseparably with the Thanksgiving
holiday, only 41 of the passengers had left England
to seek religious liberty. They were the Brownists,
followers of the famous dissenting preacher Robert
Browne They were also known as Separatists. They
styled themselves "saints."
Thirty-nine others, the "strangers " made up the
next largest category of Mayflower passengers.
They had been engaged by the Merchant Adven-
turers. sponsors of the voyage, to settle in the new
colony.
Church of England people, they had come to the
New World not as religious dissenters but to find
economic opportunity. Myles Standish and Priscilla
Mullins were two of the "strangers(John Alden
was listed among the five hired hands )
Eighteen indentured servants made up the bal-
ance of the passenger list.
There were no aristocrats or idle gentlemen
among the Mayflower complement. Their occupa-
tions included such plain ones as tailor, weaver,
printer, wool comber, shopkeeper, blacksmith,
sawyer, cooper, soldier.
As in any cross-section of humanity, there
were a few black sheep, even among the "saints."
John Billington (stranger) was hanged in 1630
fur killing n later immigrant with a blunderbuss.
Isaac Allerton (Mini) was expelled from the
colony for shady business dealings.
These exceptions aside, this tiny band of brave
pioneers wrote a chapter in American history
all out of proportion to their number
Anyone who can trace his descent back to them
has a right to be proud.
