Addressing the Friday luncheon
meeting of the Scaly Rotary Club,
Coach T. J. Mills, athletic director at
Scaly High School, emphasized drug
control in connection with "National
Eye on Drugs Week."
"Drugs are destroying this country
and if we, the little people, don't do
something about it, our country will
die," said the coach at the Rotary
noon day meeting at Tony's Restau-
rant.
"I have declared war personally on
every user, recreational seller, ad-
dict, all of them. I want this world to
be better for my daughters, not worse,"
the speaker added. Continuing his
profound declaration, Mills stated, "I
think I can make a difference and I
hope you will join me in wearing a
red ribbon the rest of this week and
make the statement, 'I want a drug-
free America.’"
The Scaly athletic director pointed
out research studies have shown that
every child who is hooked on drugs
will get six to eight others addicted
within 24 months. That is one reason
why drug use is spreading so rapidly.
Before delving into his speech
substance, the coach gave a recount
of his personal background and
coaching record. He told Rotarians
he felt fortunate to be living in Sealy.
The 1989 Father of Texas Day
celebration will begin with the for-
Amy Coody and Mark Tesch, stu-
dents at Sealy Junior High School,

on its 150 year anniversary. Special
readings of early Texas history will

Baker, Lauren King, Bellville Junior
High students.

The annual Father of Texas Day
commemoration will be held on
Stephen Fuller Austin's birthday Fri-
day. November 3. at 1:00 p.m. in the
state historical park in San Felipe.
In 1962 Governor Price Daniel
proclaimed November 3 Father of
Texas Day in remembrance of
Stephen F. Austin's birthday.
This year the Texas flag is 150
years old. Hopefully more people
will be aware of this historic flag
through patriotic programs and salut-
ing the flag. The new pledge for the
Texas flag is: "Honor the Texas flag
— I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas,
one and indivisible." On April 3,1965,
Governor John Connally signed an
act of the 59th legislature designating
this pledge "To The Texas Flag".
The Stephen F. Austin Park Asso-
ciation and Florence Hill Boyd, pro-
gram chairman, extend an invitation
to everyone to attend the Texas his-
tory students' program this Friday.
Memberships of $5 yearly and $50
for life will be available and refresh-
ments will be sold to benefit the park
association. The Josey Store Museum
will be open free to students and
visitors. People are asked to bring
folding chairs for seating comfort.
In the event of rain, the program completed last summer. At right is the historical old

auditorium.
Musical selections by the Scaly
High School band under the direction
of Floy a Spenrath, will open the

ior High Schol student, will be mas-
ter of ceremonies, and Shasta Hock-
ley, also from Bellville Junior High
School, will offer the invocation.
