the Schulenburg youths.
A two-time ex-convict, Johnson is
being held in jail in Houston. Back in
February, a black subject had been
loitering around the bus stop, where
the two teenage girls worked, for
over two hours until he saw that the
restaurant was empty, except for
the girls.
He reportedly walked into the
restaurant and attacked the girls
who were sitting on the barstools,
pulling them backwards by their
hair.
Police reported that he made them
open the cash register and give him
the money inside, afterwhich he
allegedly pushed them into the
men’s restroom and used a trophy
off a shelf to beat them up
The suspect apparently got a ride
into LaGrange where he caught a
bus to Houston.

Unlike most chronic diseases, which
are present at birth or set in late in life,
multiple sclerosis (MS) strikes young
adults between the ages of 20 and 40
Between 250,000 and 350,000 Amer-
icans are affected by this disorder. It is
nearly twice as common in women as
in men
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive
disease of the central nervous system
that destroys myelin, the protective
covering of nerve fibers in the brain
and spinal cord When myelin is des-
troyed, normal electrical impulses
cannot be carried by the nerves. Any
part of the brain or spinal cord that
contains myelin-insulated nerves can
be affected, resulting in a variety of
symptoms, ranging from loss of coor-
dination to double vision.
The cause of MS remains a mystery.
There is some evidence that it may be
an autoimmune disease, in which the
body's defense system attacks the mye-
lin in the central nervous system as if it
were foreign material Some research-
ers believe a virus may trigger this
immune response. Genetics and en-
vironment also seem to play a role,
since relatives of people with MS are
more likely to develop the disease and
it is more prevalent in colder regions
than in the tropics.
The first signs of MS are often

UNION PACIFIC COMPLETES
NO. 2 WILLIAMS ESTATE
Union Pacific Resources of Fort
Worth has completed the No. 2 Wil-
liams Estate well. The well is 1.8
miles west-southwest of Winchester

In a production test the well
flowed at a rate of 887 barrels of oil
and 584 mcf gas per day on a 48/64-

symptoms usually clear up w ithin a few
days or weeks. Sometimes one episode

people have recurrent, progressively
worsening attacks between periods of

can include trembling, instability in
walking, loss of vision in one eye.
slurred speech, impaired bladder con-
trol, sexual problems and paralysis
Many MS sufferers must learn to live
with permanent disabilities
The search for a cure for MS con-
tinues Doctors often prescribe corti-
costeroid drugs to alleviate acute
symptoms Other drugs may be recom-
mended to treat specific symptoms,
such as incontinence or shaking
Physical therapy is an important
component of treatment Improving
muscle strength and coordination can
help patients maintain mobility and
independence Doctors often recom-
mend swimming because it provides a
good workout for the entire body,
without causing overheating, which
can exacerbate symptoms
Most people with MS learn to live
successfully with the disease and
remain actively engaged in their regu-
lar activities. Support groups, such as
those organized by the National Mul-
tiple Sclerosis Society, can help people
cope w ith symptoms and learn to lead
more productive lives
The board also accepted the
resignation Monday night of Nikki
Payne as elementary teacher
The board also hired Charles Brite
as a fourth grade teacher: Margaret
Rackel, fourth grade teacher;
Elizabeth Clontz, first grade
teacher; Jeanne Hengst, middle
school language arts teacher; and
William Hobson as coach. Mr
Hobson comes from Blinn College
and will coach defense and track in
Lexington.
The district still has need of three
teachers, a middle school math
teacher, middle school and high
school special education teacher,
