■Point of View
'Don't Tempt'
The familiar saying, "don't
tempt fate," is excellent advice
for motorists. Although many
drivers take measures to keep
their vehicles from being stolen,
they unwittingly tempt thieves by
leaving valuable articles where
they can be seen by potential
criminals. The following crime
resistance measures may help
protect valuables left in
automobiles:
Automobiles should be locked
when unattended.
Door lock buttons with knobs on
the end should be replaced with
knows that are tapered at the end
since the latter are harder to pull
up with a wire inserted through an
opening in the window.
Valuables should not be left
where they can be viewed by
someone outside the car. Lock
packages, coats, etc., in the trunk,
or hide such items under the seat.
Tape decks and citizens band
(CB) radios should be mounted
out of sight if possible. Consider
using a portable rather than
permanently-installed antenna so
it can be removed when a vehicle
is unattended The antenna can
mark the car as a target for CB
thieves.
Tape decks and CB radios
should be permanently marked
with a unique number traceable to
the owner Motorists should
contact local law enforcement for
advice as to which number (state
drivers license, etc.) should be
utilized for this purpose since
different numbers are used in
different areas of the country.
Decals indicating that all
property within the vehicle has
been marked with a traceable
number should also be obtained
and affixed to windows on each
side of the vehicle.
Lions Den. ByE.B. Musick jr.
Won Corry Wallace had not teen
Lioness Jerry Kills since she and
Lion Grady moved back to Husk so
he asked I.Ion (iradv if his wife was
as pretty as she was the day they
married. I.ion (iradv replied "Yes.
but it takes her longer."
Our songleader Lion JoEd
Anderson selected "I've (Jot That
Lion Spirit Up In My Head Lion
Johnnie B Grimes seem to think
that Lion Grady Ellis might have
something else up in his head
besides the Lion Spirit And it
could be that that is the only place
it is Then the "Eyes Of Texas"
was rendered by the Lions and
Lion Winford Black sang "I've Been
Working On the Kailroad" instead
Lion Lewie Byers reported on the
"Big Circus'--so did Lion Glen
Stanley and they each expressed
their appreciation for all the work
our Lion President Doyle Kasberry
has done Also thanks to all that
have helped sell tickets and to Lion

Allen B. Gilchrest and Hete
Grimes for their help in our
schools
Lion Raymond Cooper made an
appeal for all those that would be
interested in helping man the
Ambulance here in Husk to let him
know Many are needed-contact
Lion Cooper or Mr Ken Worley at
the Husk Memorial Hospital and
let them explain what you would
have to do Someone stated that no
siren would be needed in the
Ambulance Lion Ike Daniel would
be in
Lion Morris Elliott read an
article from the paper concerning
a clothes hamper filled with fluid-
a full explanation will be made this
Thursday Lion Ike Daniel
presented Lion Allen Gilchrest a
check for $150 uo < bet it was "hot" >
for the Livestock Show and stated
that Lion Mike Sullivan was afraid
to show last Thursday because he
agreed to match anything Ike
• • 9
would give. Lion Ike said that he
did not expect him to ever show up
at a meeting again But Lion Allen
stated that Lion Mike had already
matched L.ion Ike- then complete
silence from Lion Ike Lion Allen
thanked the Husk Lions for all of
their help and again it made you
feel good to be a "Lion "
Becasue a lady was present we
did not have to suffer from
comments from Lion Ellis so says
Lion Bob Persons We were just
about to give up but Lion Dr 11 M
Hogaboom finally presented a
beautiful lady and a handsome
man as our program Ms Hosalyn
Kelton and Mr Wallace Hunter
presented several songs with Mr
tlunter playing the guitar also
We hope we have the names of the
songs right "Annabelle'' a duel,
then a solo by Ms Kelton "One
Day At A Time". a humorous song
by Mr Hunter about Only Telling
You What My Daddy Told Me"
followed by Mr Ernest Tubbt
himself Lion Ike thought it was
Billy Carter singing Then a duet
"You Are My Sunshine." "Stiver
Haired Daddy Of Mine" and
closing with ' Home On The
Range" with all the Lions joining
in We had no idea these two had
such fine talent and will be looking
forward to them putting their
heads in the Lions Den again very
soon
l.ion Mike Sullivan complained

his wife. "You see. I got some
modern office furniture two week*
ago for my new office and I Ju i
learned I've been sitting in thr
wastebasket."

Drug Substitution
Kissin Kuzzins
AUSTIN--The Texas Medical
Association (TMA) has attacked
upcoming drug substitution
legislation as being unpopular,
not economical, and dangerous.
The Association also revealed
plans to step up its program to
encourage communication
between patients and physicians
about drugs.
SB 601 by Sen. Chet Brooks
(D—Pasadena) would allow
pharmacists to substitute without
a doctor's permission. The bill
will be heard next week by the
Senate Human Resources
Committee.
"If cost savings are the basis
for SB 601, the pharmacist should
pass the savings on to consumers
instead of keeping them," said
Mylie Durham Jr., M. D., TMA
president, in a Friday news
conference.
But even if patients got some of
the savings, it would not be that
much. A 1977 study by the Task
Force for Evalualtion of Medicaid
in Texas said that the Texas
Medicaid program would have
saved only $28,000 by substituting
generic drugs in 1976.
Administrative costs alone would
have exceeded the $28,000 saved.
The task force concluded that
present Texas law insures quality
care and should not be changed
just to save money.
At the news conference, Dr.
Durham, a Houston surgeon,
revealed results of a statewide
public opinion poll done in the fall
of 1978. The poll showed that 87
percent of Texans thought a
pharmacist should obtain the
doctor's permission before
substituting drugs in a
prescription.
Dr. Durham also said drug
substitution can be dangerous in
some cases. There still is
controversy over the therapeutic
equivalency of many drugs that
have the same chemicals in them.
Manufacturing processes,
quality control and many other
factors can affect how a drug
works in the body. In case of
problems, patients benefit when
doctors know exactly what drugs
are being administered.
Since physicians are not
opposed to generic prescribing in
general, TMA is stepping up a
program to encourage better
communication between doctor
and patient on the subject. Right
now it is legal for a pharmacist to
substitute drugs with a doctor's
permission. So the association is
producing materials to encourage
doctors and patient to talk about
cost savings and health aspects of
generic drugs.
Thomason Records Needed
Carolyn Ericson
1614 Redbud Street
Nacogdoches, Texas 75961
Desire information on my great
grandfather Jonathan Thomason
and wife Sarah Brown Thomason.
They came from North Carolina to
Crawford County, Georgia He had
eight brothers, so I have been told,
but do not know the names; and
also had three sons. Richard
Thomason lived and died at
Nacogdoches; Samuel,
whereabouts unknown after he left
Georgia and Alabama, and my
grandfather Henry Clay
Thomason, who settled in
Cherokee County, Texas, and died
in 1928. There were daughters of
Jonathan and Sarah, but I do not
know their names. Their married
names may have been Bailey,
Butler, Lunsford or Mackey. I am
sure that this data might not be
too hard to find, if I knew where to
begin.
I would appreciate any help with
this family.

Congressman Criticizes
Closing VA Hospital Beds
"The administration is
thwarting the intent of Con-
grew to maintain an ade-
quate health care system
for American veterans,"
according to Sam B. Hall,
Jr., U.S. Represenative
from Texas' First District.
A member of the House
Veterans Affairs Commit-
tee, Congressman Hall said
that last year Congress
added $54 million to the
administration budget to
prevent the closing of 3,100
Veterans Administration
hospital beds. The money
has been used instead to
absorb the 5.5 percent
federal pay raise for VA
employees, according to
the Congressman.
"The administration is
going ahead with its bed

cutbacks as if Congress
had never acted," he said.
The direct impact on Texas
will be the loss of 143 beds,
the equivalent of 224.4 full
time employees and $2,220,
977 in funding.
Representative Hall said
that Congress has always
been willing to provide re-
sources to meet the
nation's obligations to ve-
terans. "If the administra-
tion is deliberately frus-
trating Congress' intention
to do so, the American
people would be aware of
it."
He said the House Vete-
rans Affairs Committee is
holding public hearings to
determine the extent of
shortages in staff and re-
sources at VA hospitals.
The Committee will hear
directly from VA physi-
cians, nurses and admini-
strators.
Congressman Hall said
complaints have been com-
ing to the Committee that
eligible veterans have been
turned away from VA hos-
pitals and told to seek
treatment in community
facilities. "The Committee
intends to get at the facts
and take whatever action
the facts indicate," he said.

Letters
to the Editor
Editor, The Cherokeean:
Being a native and former resi-
dent of Cherokee County, and now
living elsewhere by force of cir-
cumstance, I follow with interest
the fast developing recreational
and historical sites of the area. The
reopening of the State railway and
the coming development of the
Indian mound park as a historical
site, is a great beginning, and
doubtless took some dreaming and
doing; like the man who searched
the world over, searching for dia-
monds, only to return home to find
a diamond mine in his back yard, it
shows what can be done with what
we have at hand. I have always felt
the pine covered slopes of the Rusk
area held a great potential for
recreational attractions. We havn't
forgot the fun we had toboganing
down the hills on barrel staves,
using the pine kneedles instead of
snow. Who knows how many more
thousands wouldn't enjoy the same
thing if the facilties were avail-
able. It might be worth thinking
about anyway. And lying deep in
the woods, a few miles from Town,
is a mountain unlike any we have
seen elsewhere, from the ozarks to
the high sierras. It isn't a high
mountain of course, but it's forma-
tion is unique in that it is formed by
several benches or terraces ending
in a perfectly flat top, as though it
were manmade; something like
the Olmec pyramids of South Ame-
rica and Mexico, except on a much
larger scale. This of course, would
be ajob for an archeologist to look
into. There are however, some
~mounds of comparable size in the
Ohio Valley, and other places
perhaps, that we don't know about.
Anyway, it is something to pond-
er; how many civilizations may
have come and gone, and left signs
is we could read them. We never
reach the end of history, the
further back we look, the farther
we can see.
Best wishes

Oh, to be a kid again!
r
Spring is the ideal time to be
ten years old. Everything in nature
has that fresh crispness, that green
newness. It is a time of rebirth and
youth. Therefore I shouldn't have
been at all surprised the other day
when one of my friends at college
told me that I acted like I was ten.
Me? Worldly, sophisticated,
man-about-town me?
"No," she explained "I don't
mean you're childish; I mean
you're childlike. You get excited
over things like my ten-year-old
brother does."
Come on, suave, debonair, mac-
ho me?
Yep. She had me pegged. I still
go kite-flying every now and then.
When I chance to go fishing I
usually spend more time wading in
the shallows than I do in serious
angling. I get his fiendish sense of
delight in making Steve Martin
jokes in crowded elevators.
The real secret to success in life
is to never really grow up all the

way. Like it says in the Desider-
ata: don't take either the bad times
or the good times too seriously.
Life is just a transitory condition.
Don't let the hustle-bustle noise
world get on your nerves.
You're thinking that it's easy for
me to say stuff like that because
I'm weird to begin with. Maybe so,
but I can't claim to have had a
great truth handed to me because
I'm such a swell fellow. I went
looking for it and I found it.
Let me explain. Remember how
doggone nice everthing smelled
when you were little. Your ma's
fresh-baked bread. The air after a
long summer rainstorm. Remem-
ber how exquisite the cool green
grass felt under your bare feet,
Things just don't smell and feel
that good to most of us any more.
We've smelled the rain in the air so
many times in our life that we treat
it as commonplace. We don't take
that little extra measure to really
experience our surroundings and
to enjoy them.
I felt that as a writer I could not
adequately express myself unless I
opened tip and let it all pour in. I
learned to take that little qxtra step
that makes children out of men.
You can too; it isn't hard.
Yoli have to admit that despite
inflation, IRS audits and the ener-
gy crisis our world is still a darned
beautiful place to live,
Enjoy It.
