Our open house, Saturday, Febru-
ary 13, was a great success, due to
all who came and those who
worked so hard to get ready.
Thanks to everyone for your wonder-
ful support. The chamber of com-
merce was well represented and the
ribbon cutting ceremony was great,
even though we: had to have it inside.
We were happy to have three of our
charter members. Myrtle Killen,
Judy Berry and Lenora Terrell, who
organized the Kingsland Arts and
Crafts Association in 1974. It was
nice to have VI Cloud, president of
the Highland ‘Lakes Tourist Associa-
tion, visit us.
Those who remember our building
as the Western Wear Store, then a
small equipment shop were amazed
at the way it looks now. We cannot
name all who have helped, but there
has been a tremendous turn-out of
members and friends to help ac-
complish what has been done. There
is so much more in the plans to be
done, but will have to wait for funds.
Everything so far is paid, except the
note on the building. We hope
everyone will come and support us. ‘
which will enable us to pay off our
debt. So many friends have donated
money to our building fund, which
we appreciate so very much.

to the hurried nature of the trip,

Aspirin ami Arthritis
Since aspirin is available
without a prescription and is
taken so frequently, people may
have difficulty believing that
aspirin is the “best” arthritis
medicine for the majority of
adults. Here are three reasons
why this is true:

* KINGSLAND — On February 10,
2 a check in the amount of $850 was
presented to Ada Jackson of Granite
Shoals to be sent on to the parents of
her niece, Brittany Rieger. The
* money was raised by Calvary Hills
Church members and the Rev.
Joanie Jackson through a church-
’ sponsored volleyball tournament and
crafts and bake sale held the nights I
' of January 29 and 30 at the church
gymnasium. An open kitchen sel- i
ting hamburgers and other food
items also helped provide some of
: the funds that were raised.

of age when elected to office, and

party at the time.
“I hope the comparison stops
there, because Lincoln served only
one term and I am running for
another term,” Smith said.
He spoke of the eloquence and wit
of Lincoln. Of his integrity and
strong religious beliefs. How he
seemed to be immune to the
criticism that flowed around him at
times and was without malice toward
others. Lincoln’s patriotism and love
of country were part of his greatness
and his will to exercise righteous
powers and hold steadfast were
expressed by his adhering to advice
he received as a young congressman,
“If you don’t stand for something,
you’ll fall for anything,” he was told.
Congressman Smith spoke also
about the resurgence of patriotism
that has swept the country. Young
men and women being eager to serve
in one of the branches of the military
and feeling able to be proud of that
service. At the close of the speech,

standing ovation.
District 47 State Representative
Anne Cooper was on hand for the
festivities, as were numerous candi-
dates for various offices throughout
the area.
Attention was called to some
pictures of Abraham Lincoln that
were displayed around the room.
These pictures, with only half of the
face of Lincoln, were given to fourth
graders at Llano Elementary School
for them to finish. The children drew
in the other half of the face to
complete the pictures. A theme
about Lincoln written by fourth
grader John Darnell was read to the
appreciative audience.
Patsy Coleman was presented with
a plaque designating her the out-
standing Republican of Llano Coun-
ty. She also received her President’s
pin for service as county chairman.
Belle Norris and her team of
helpers were thanked for the lovely
decorations that filled the hall with
red, white and blue.
The barbecue dinner was catered
by Big John’s Barbecue of Buchanan
Dam.
Jim Harvey recognized the group
and a plaque will be mounted in the
building listing the board members’
names: Mr. and Mrs. Shirley
Williams. Mr. and Mrs. Drace
Williams, Mr. and Mrs. M.T. Haile
and Ila McAlister. The Rev. Claude
Wingo, the last minister to hold
services in the building, gave a
prayer of dedication.

Little Brittany Rieger will cele-

in may offer hope for other patients
down the line, according to her aunt.
She was flown to Memorial Sloan

decided she must be taken there
immediately while still recovering
from viral pneumonia. Any infection,
large or small, is life-threatening to
Brittany and the treatments they
hoped would help her needed to be
begun as soon as possible. Testing

testa went well, according to Jack-

Ken Dixon, of Kingsland, intro-
duced Congressman Smith. The
young congressman, who won nu-
merous awards for his actions in
Congress last year, is again running,
unopposed, for that post. He spoke
with reverence of the regard Ameri-
cans have for Abraham Lincoln, who
has come close to national sainthood
in the minds of many.
Smith stated he liked to compare
his position with that of the young
Lincoln. Both were representatives
of the largest district in the state that
contained two or three large towns
and a big expanse of land dotted with
farms and ranches. Each state
contained counties named Mason
and Menard. Each man was 38 years

Brittany suffers from agranulocyto-
sis, a rare blood disorder. People
with the disease do not manufacture
enough white blood cells and conse-
quently are subject to infections from
any and all bacteria, even the
bacteria that is common to all human
bodies.
The family has no insurance
except the small amount that Med-
icare will provide them. The expen-
ses are already in excess of $1
million and still climbing. Donations
may be made to a special fund for
Brittany at Allied Bank, now Inter-
state. oMarble Falls. "Any contri-
butions, large or small, your assist-
ance and all prayers are greatly
appreciated," says Jackson.
