Green Thumb Award Judges
To Prowl Sachse Streets
Judges for June's Green
Thumb Awards will be making
their rounds of Sachse streets
this weekend.
The awards, another Boost
Community Pride project of
Citizens For A Progressive
Sachse, are presented for the
best-looking front yards in the
city.
"Each summer more people
in both lot categories get
involved in the competition.
The two categories are those
up to one acre in size and
those one acre and larger,"
explained Kay Snipes, CPS
project coordinator.
Judging of residential lots
will be based on overall land-
scaping impact/design, color
variation (using plants,
shrubbery and/or floral treat-
ments), grass vitality and
texture, and ornamental
decorations, such as statues
and rock gardens.
Judges are non-Sachse res-
idents who are experts in
landscaping and gardening.
Out-of-town judges are re-
cruited to avoid biases in the
decisions.
The "traveling" Green
Thumb Awards are presented
in the middle of May, June
and July. Signs denoting the
awards are displayed in the
winning yards for one month,
then moved to the next win-
ning yards.
During the first week in
August, a grand prize for Best
Yard of the Summer will be
presented. That yard,
selected from the six monthly
winners, will earn the
contest's top prize: a six-foot
tree donated by Custom
Green Landscaping, a Sach-
se-based company.
For additional information
concerning CPS and/or the
Green Thumb Awards, call
Snipes at 495-4312.

Engineers Maintain
Close Watch on Lavon
The U.S. Army Corps of En-
gineers this week dispelled
rumors of possible flooding
from Lake Lavon as a result
of recent heavy rains.
A spokesman for the Engin-
eers said a 24-hour surveil-
lance is maintained in these
types of conditions, particu-
larly where earth dams are
involved.
Latest readings showed the
water level at Lake Lavon to
be 10.9 feet above norma^^.
(normal being 492 feet).
Four floodgates are each
open one-half foot, releasing
2,000 cubic feet of water per
second to Lake Ray Hubbard.
The latter lake has three feet
to play with before it will be
necessary to shut down the
Lake Lavon gates.
There has been some con-
cern about the Lake Lavon
bridge on Highway 78 being
endangered by high water,
but both the Corps of Engin-
eers and the Texas Highway
Department are keeping a
close watch on the situation
If high water becomes a
problem anywhere in the
area, the Corps of Engineers
will alert proper authorities in
ample time.

Have you ever wondered
why a doctor insists on taking
a throat culture whenl you
have sore throat? Can't he
just prescribe an antibiotic?
There are numerous germs
that can cause sore throats
and upper respiratory in-
fections. Different germs
respond differently to different
antibiotics.
With new testing tech-
niques, a doctor can tell in
just a few minutes if your
throat infection is caused by
strep - a bacteria that is
notorious for causing sore
throats as well as other
infections such as pericar-
ditis, rheumatic fever,
pyelonephritis (severe kidney
infection), and scarlet fever. It
is important to rule out strep,
tiince it is susceptible t^^
antibiotics that some oth^B
infections are not susceptibl^
to.
So, if you or your child has
a sore throat, don't grumble
when the doctor orders a
culture. You are getting the
best care possible, and maybe
diverting a more serious
infection.
