PAGE TWO-THE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK. TEXAS. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER U. 1974
From the
Lions
Den
By: E. B. Musick Jr.
One Lion says that he takes
his wife out every night--but
she keeps finding her way
home.
Our guest ! ist Thursday Mr.
Larry Procter, Mrs. Joyce
Wright and Mrs Nell Myers.
And we still have lightbulbs.
Lion Jack I'itts asked that all
please ^ell the bulbs and bring
the money this Thursday. So
you can stiP call the Lion of
your choice ind he will bring
you light buibs All of the
monc\ wil go for youth
activities in «,nr city. We are to
build another little league ball
field and also a motor cross
track and we will need support
from all O .me on now--how
about some lightbulbs''
Lion Frank Merriwether
presided in 'he absence of our
Lion President Billy Watson.
He introduced our program
chairman for this month. Lion
Prank Howell, and the ap-
plause was so long and loud
that it was quite some time
before he could introduce the
program After the quite he
introduced Mr Lessie Wright,
our Cub Master for the Lions
Cub Scouts
Mr Wiight in turn intro-
duied Mr Paul Auctner in
charge oi Scouting for this
distnc' He Mated that the cry
in America now is for new
leadership 11h the love of
God and tin Love of Country.
There are many organizations
for the youth and many of them
are just baby sitters, so to
speak What are the results of a
boy being in the Cub Scouts?
Mr Auctner says that the main
thing is the influence on the life
in the home, then school and
then the Chruch. Our family
structure is being torn apart.
Vou cannot bring a child up
successfully teaching them to
do as I say and not as I do. No
other organization can com-
pare with the Boy Scouts of
America, is encourages family
life works with boys twelve
months a year and helps
parents rare their children in
the right wav
Kissin' Kuzzins
There are two very impor-
tant things that the Cub Scouts
accomplishes 1. It forces a boy
to talk to his parents and forces
the parents to talk with their
boys.2. It teaches them how to
work as a team, to control
muscles and that he is one of
God's children. Then when a
boy gets to the difficult age of
the teen he will know that he
can come to his parents and
talk with them about his many
problems. What more can
parents ask? As for the Rusk
Lions Club they must, first find
a place for the boys to meet
and second, agree to secure
leadership. That we have done
and Mr.Wright will do a great
job as Cub Master. Then there
rs always the Scout Executive
to help in any way that he
can-in this instance Mr.
Auctner.
Then the ladies come into the
picture in a very important
way as Den Mothers. They will
be working with the boys until
they are 10 years of age, then it
is felt that the boys should be
working with men. So it is that
the future of our nation rests in
the boys and girls of to-day. We
must do everything possible to
teach them the way of a good,
Christian life and what better
possible to teach them the way

Two Lions were talking
about the charms of Sophia
Loren. "I say you overestimate
her," said one Lion. "Take
away her hair, her eyes and
her figure, and what do you
have?" "My wife," said the
other Lion.

Commentary
A 16-Cent Dollar?
Going to the grocery for a nickel package of chewing
gum and paying fifteen cents for it used to be a sign of
the aging process. Now even the youngest are being
subjected to this rather disturbing pheonomena of
paying two prices today for the same item bought
yesterday.
Evidence indicates that most Americans are becoming
adjusted to changing price tags. Shoppers used to sniff
indignantly at stick-on tags placed strategically over
yesterday's lower price mark. Now they just shake their
heads resignedly and throw the item in their basket.
Wise shoppers take an extra five or ten dollars along to
cover inflation costs since the last time they shopped.
Seasoned inflation-suffers have even learned to control
their gasps to a barely audible whimper when their bill
takes that extra five or ten they brought "just in case."
All of us live with the hope that things will be better
tomorrow. At the risk of dimming that hope, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce has released figures predicting
the values of the American dollar in the next 28 years.
The 28-year mark is significant since in the last 28 years
the dollar has shrunk from 100 per cent to 60 per cent of
its worth. At the present rate of inflation and shrinkage
of the dollar, the dollar worth 60 cents today will be
worth about 16 cents in 28 years. To have the same
purchasing power as today's 60-cent dollar, a family's
$7,200 income will have to be $18,000, a $3,000 car will
cost $7,500, $25,000 homes will cost $62,500 and a $30
pair of shoes will bear a $75 price tag. A family's weekly
budget will have to allow $152 instead of $61 for food.
Housing will rise from $56 to $140 per week.
Little consolation is to be derived from the thought
that Uncle Sam will suffer from the same plague.
Federal spending will rise from $305 billion to $762
billion. The federal debt will jump from $485 billion to
a staggering $1,200 billion. Guess where the tax money
to support such governmental cost will be raised.
On a happier note, the U.S. Chamber announces that a
decline in the dollar's worth is not inevitable. A
successful fight in Congress to curb spending,
inflation-fighting efforts recommended by Congress and
the President can help the situation. With the threat of
a 16-cent dollar hanging over our heads, we should be
willing to cooperate.

Desperately need help with
my family. My paternal
grandmother was a pure
Cherokee Indian Her father
was Juan Bulcham He was a
chief of the Cherokee tribe. My
grandmother ran away from
the tribe and married my
grandfather: Arcadio Valdez
Sanchez. My grandmother was
disinherited because she did
this. They settled down in Del
Rio. Texas. My grandmother's
name was Clemencia Bulcha
When the Cherokee were
driven from their lands, my
grandmother s father gave
orders to throw their gold and
jewels in a hiding place. This is
all I remember.
I will surely appreciate any
help with my problem Where
can I find records of this
family?

WELFARE: GOOD NEWS
BAD NEWS
Many Americans cringe
at the very mention of
welfare. And well they
might: $5 of taxpayer
money for every man,
woman and child in the
U.S. will be spent this year
on erroneous welfare pay-
ments alone. That's the bad
news.
Fortunately, there's also
some good welfare news.
The welfare arm of the
Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare is
at long last making
headway in its drive to
curb abuses. The agency,
called the Social and
Rehabilitation Service, re-
ports that, during the first
six months of 1974, 37,500
ineligible families had been
lopped off the welfare rolls,
at a taxpayer savings of $71
million.
Since the known error
rate had been a whopping
41.1 percent, however. SRS
Administrator James
Dwight reports that the
ineligible rate is still nearly
38 percent. He added that,
because of inflation, reduc-
ed payment errors may fail
to cut welfare costs during
the next year.
"Even though we are
reducing the size of the
rolls, and the errors of
overpayment and ineligi-
bility. the payments are
tied to the cost of living."
Dwight explained. "Unfor-
tunately. inflation seems to
be the worst in those areas
where people cannot afford
to go without.''
The actual reductions
have come about at the
state level through federal
prodding. HEW announced
last year that matching
federal funds would be
withheld from states that
fail to reduce their error
rates to specified levels. A
total of $61 million has been
withheld from states for
the July-December period
of this year Welfare
payments in most states
are matched on a 50-50
basis with federal funds.
Prior to the reform drive,
states took the word of
applicants on such key
things as their number of
children Now. applicants
thrt ughout the country are
beinj required to produce
birth certificates as well as
document their level of
income
News and Views
Why Not Hatch?
As one gentleman by the name of C. S. Lewis observed,
"...you cannot go on being a good egg forever; you
must either hatch or rot." The root of many of
America's difficulties may lie in the fact that not enough
people have taken the trouble to hatch. The president of
the Foundation for Economic Education, Inc. has
observed that, "...hatching must be the elective of the
individual for his own sake~the eye focused on the
growth of one's own consciousness, not the reforming
of others," In seeking an individual of integrity and
purpose, he suggests looking in a mirror and not
elsewhere. Try your best and hope for the best; others
will follow and some may pass you.
As this modern philosopher puts it, "Make hatching a
game of leapfrog-the greatest game in life!" Not bad
advice for over 200 million people who have to get their
nation back on the track. The last thing the United
States needs right now is a bunch of rotten eggs.
The Volunteer View
By: Ms. Donna Sherman
Assistant Coordinator of Volunteer Services
Rusk State Hospital
Mildred Chapman. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? But
if you think that the name is nice, you've got to get to know
the person behind the name.
Mildred Chapman is a special person and a special
volunteer. When we told the Volunteer Council about
Volunteer Orientation, Mildred came, as she said, in
order to learn how to better communicate with the
patients.'' She is sponsoring a patient through
Adopt-A-Patient Program, as is the sorority to which she
belongs. She periodically helps in the Day Treatment
Center's Craft and Cooking Classes. She comes every July
4th and Halloween to help with the Parades and Carnivals.
She got behind her sorority to sponsor a ward Christmas
party as well as a wrapping party. And who called in
response to the "Volunteer View" requesting volunteers
to take patients shopping? Right. Mildred Chapman.
We are deeply indebted to you, Mildred, for your active
concern, and we hope that individuals may in the future
call on you for advice and the telling of your experiences
here at Rusk State Hospital.

OPINION
De Leon, Texas, Free
Press: "An individual's
self-concept is the core of
his personality. If affectó
every aspect of human
behavior; the ability to
learn, the capacity to grow
and change, the choice of
friends, mates and careers.
It's no exaggeration to say
that a strong positive
self-image is the best
possible preparation for
success in life."
Thermopolis, Wyo., Inde-
pendent Record: "The
other day we took a quick
survey and discovered our
shirt was made in Japan,
pants in Taiwan, boots in
Mexico and our watch in
West Germany. We're not
sure about our underwear..
We asked ourselves, "Why
are so many things made
out of this country? Then
we looked at prices and we
know."
