Allergic reactions can be so
mild that they-are hardly noticed
or so severe that they become life
threatening. Reactions can occur
from exposure to things that we
eat (milk, eggs, strawberries),
inhale (molds, dust, plant pollen,
feathers), ingest (some anti-
biotics), or contact (poison ivy,
cosmetics, household detergents).
Substances that penetrate the skin
such as insect venom may also
cause allergic reactions.

Milner said the DPS is supporting
the national “Drive for Life” pro-
gram sponsored by Mothers Against
Drunk Driving (MADD). MADD
officials ask persons not to drink and
drive, and to have their headlights
switched on during daytime driving
on Saturday, September 3 in support
of the effort against DWI.
"The troopers will also have their
headlights on during this day, and
they will be especially watchful
during the Labor Day period for
drunk drivers.”
Texas DPS troopers will also be
keeping watch on the interstate
highways as part of the Combined
Accident Reduction Effort (CARE)
program with the troopers of neigh-
boring states.
The Labor Day weekend is 78 hours
in length, beginning at 6 p.m.,
Friday, September 2 and continuing
until midnight, Monday, September
5.

Allergy relief begins with the
avoidance of known allergens.
Nonprescription medicines for
aflergy include the antihistamines
sad decongestants. Antihista-
mines, which block the effect of
histamine, help reduce swelling
and itching. They are usually
more effective if taken before
exposure to allergens. Decon-
gestants cause a shrinkage of
swollen nasal passages. Topical
nasal decongestants (nose drops
and sprays) should be used no
longer than three or four days to
avoid the poksible occurrence of
rebound congestion.

Accident injures
Kingsland youth
A one-car roll-over resulted in the
injury to a 15-year-old youth who was
the passenger in the right front seat
of a 1980 GMC pickup driven by
Dudley Malcomn Long, 46, of
Kingsland. Reportedly suffering pa-
ralysis from the chest down was
Jason Eric Lowell, a student at Llano
HighSchool.
Long was westbound on a county
road (Long Road), where he attemp-
ted to negotiate a curve and lost
control of the pickup. The vehicle left
the right side of the road traveling 57
feet when it rolled over; traveled
another 87 feet and rolled over
again, then traveled another 27 feet,
coming to rest on the left side of the
vehicle.
Lowell was transported to Llano
Memorial Hospital for treatment and
then taken to an Austin hospital via
StarFlight helicopter.
-The accident occured about 8:40 ,
p.m., four tenths of a mile east of RR
1431. Long was cited for driving at
an unsafe speed. Neither occupant
was wearing a seat belt at the time of
the accident.

the Burrito Barn on August 16, then
journeyed to Marjorie Lyon’s resi-
dence for orientation for the mem-
bers. On August 23, the chapter met
in the home for Barbara Martin for a
specially-called organization meet-
ing. This meeting was to prepare
information for upcoming year activ-
ities.
Officers for the upcoming year
are: Sonia Cagle-Arvin, president;
Majorie Becker, vice president,

recommended that drivers take
precautions to help ensure safety in
the higher volume of traffic expec-
ted.
"The motorists who comply with
the speed limits, connect their safety
belts, and avoid driving while
impaired by alcohol have the great-
est chance of not having a traffic
accident,” Milner suggested.
“We’re estimating that this will be
the last Labor Day period for as
many as 35 persons who may be
killed in traffic accidents. However,

Highland Lakes CB Club was
organized in 1976. A group of
citizens from Llano and Burnet
counties formed a non-profit organ-
ization to assist their fellow man on
Texas highways by using their CB
radios according to Federal Com-
munications regulations. A charter
was purchased for the club in the
name of Highland Lakes CB Club. At
one time, there were over 250
members that included a group
which was also part of the National
React Association. React members
monitored their radios on a 24-hour
basis to assist with emergencies

September 2 will be the start of
another Labor Day weekend. The
last weekend of the summer for
many folks who have children
returning to classes or who must
return to work after vacations. On
this holiday weekend there is always
a great deal of automobile traffic
with highways full of hurrying
travelers. Highland Lakes CB (Citi-
zens Band Radio) Club provides a
service to travelers each year on this
weekend. For a 72-hour period on
Highway 71 at the Big Sandy
roadside park, a place to stop and
refresh is set up. This year it will
begin Friday at 6 p.m. and continue
until Monday (Labor Day) at 6 p.m.
Coffee, tea, Kool Aid, cookies and
donuts are offered to weary drivers
and their passengers.
This program has been going on
since 1977, when the club originally
began to serve travelers. The
purpose was and is to give them a
chance to relax and refresh before
going on their way. Between 550 and
600 people have signed the register
at the stop each year since its
inception. Over Labor Day weekend
in 1987, 616 persons signed it
making the effort a huge success in
. the words of club president Virgil
“Hoppy” Taylor.
The club motto is, “If we save one
life or prevent one accident, our
service was well worth the effort.” It
has been said to club members that,
during the time the dub has been
doing this, there have been no major
accidents on Labor Day weekend
between Austin city limits and
Brady. It is thanks to this dedicated
small group of CB radio enthusiasts
who have a sincere regard for the
fellow man’s welfare, this record
exists.
Every year it takes assistance from
merchants and interested individuals
to make the rest stop possible. The
state highway department issues a
72-hour permit for the use of the
roadside park. Bryants Bakery and
Sweet Things Bakery in Kingsland
and Jeanettes Bakery in Llano
provide fresh donuts each year.
Pedernales Electric is furnishing the
electricity and Central Texas Electric
is providing the security light. BJ’s
Potties furnishes the porta potties
and Burnet Funeral Home provides a |
tent. American Legion Post 437 is
furnishing the coffee and merchants.

Lambda Nu Chapter #5214 meets
the second Wednesday of each
month. If anyone is interested in
belonging to this women’s organiza-
tion, they may contact Donnie Nevill

hurting due to former concentration
on oil interests. Some areas where oil
was the livelihood were damaged
more than others. She metnioned the
freeze damage to crops in the Rio
Grande Valley that hurt that area
badly, too. Comments from the
group were accepted with a smile
and some were countered with a
response.
Refreshments were served and the
group began to diminish as candi-
dates left for other meetings and
Representative Cooper prepared to
return to Austin.
