DAR gathers at museum
The Breckenridge members of
Lee's Legion Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution,
hosted the Wednesday, April 4
meeting in the Breckenridge Fine
Arts Museum.
Vice Regent Grace Leech called
the meeting to order and, with
the assistance of acting Chaplain
Maida Scott, led members in re-
peating the DAR Ritual, Pledge
to the United States Flag and the
American's Creed.
"The World Owes Russia A
Debt" was the title for National
Defense Chairman Nadine Brew-
ster's report. "The entire world
owes Russia a great debt of
gratitude," Brewster said. "Hav-
ing tried for 70 years, they've
proven Communism does not
work, and nobody can fault them
for having tried. They've
slaughtered, starved to death and
imprisoned tens of millions of
their own people; they've
established huge bureaucracies
and spent massive resources in
pursuit of a Communist Utopia,"
Brewster continued.
Brewster and Alma Maxwell
gave an informative report on the
91st DAR State Conference, held
March 22-24 at the Hyatt-
Regency Hotel in San Antonio.
They represented the local
chapter at the state meeting.
Lee's Legion Chapter was award-
ed a red, white and blue ribbon in
recognition of an outstanding
yearbook.
Program Chairman Leech pre-
sented Patricia Swanson, who in-
troduced guest speaker Mrs. Jack
(Martha) Sullivan. Sullivan is a
retired science teacher, well-
known artist, civic worker, and a
worker with the Fine Arts Muse-
um since its establishment six
years ago. .
Sullivan described the various
ways of funding the outstanding
Breckenridge project. She recog-
nized the countless volunteer
hours donated to the museum's
establishment. She described
some of the programs sponsored
by the museum.
Farmer speaks to club
Joan Farmer, native and noted
historian of Shackelford County,
presented a program for Bluebon-
net Study Club March 30. Farmer
showed slides of Albany as the
town grew and settled through
the years, explaining the history
of the county.
Hostesses for the meeting were
Beth Weathers, Etna Pate, Na-
dine Brewster and Hallie Dyess.
Refreshments of coffee, cake and
punch were served from a table
decorated with an Easter theme.
Nadine Brewster presided over
the business meeting, and gave
her report from the 30th Mes-
quite District Spring Convention
held March 16 and 17. Also at-
tending the convention which was
held in Sweetwater were Pat
Henrichson, Sheri Mitchell and
Billie Pickard.
Sorority meets in Abilene
Twelve members of Xi Pi
Lambda chapter of Beta Sigma
Phi met Monday, April 2 at Gard-
sky's in Abilene for a social and
meeting.
President June Hawkins pre-
sided over the meeting.
Plans for the Mother's Day
celebration were finalized, with a
dinner set for April 17.
April birthday honorees were
Billie Patterson, Brenda Estridge
and Sandy Mayes.
Secret Sister gifts and thank-
yous were exchanged.
Nonprofit exemptions due April 30
Nonprofit organizations may
qualify for a total exemption from
property taxes, but they must ap
ply for the exemption no later
than April 30, 1990, said Betty
Viertel, chief appraiser of the
Shackelford County Appraisal
District.
The April 30 deadline also ap-
plies to businesses that are
receiving tax abatements under
contract with a county, city or
school district, and to those firms
that ship inventory out of Texas
and may be eligible for the new
"freeport" exemption on certain
goods in transit.
Generally, total exemptions are
available to nonprofit charitable,
youth development, and religious
organizations that owned proper-
ty on January 1, 1990. Require-
ments that different types of
organizations must meet to quali
fy for an exemption vary, how-
ever. These requirements are
established by the Texas Con-
stitution and Property Tax Code.
Exemptions may also be avail-
able to nonprofit private schools,
cemeteries, medical center
developments, veterans' or en-
vironmental groups, or other
organizations.
Viertel noted that cemeteries,
charitable organizations, youth
development organizations, reli-
gious organizations, and nonprofit
private schools, once granted tax
exemptions, are not required to
reapply each year unless re-
quested to do so by the chief ap-
praiser. They must also reapply if
their exempt property changes
ownership or if their qualifica-
tions for exemption change.
The law requires annual appli-
cation, Viertel said, for all other
types of exempt organizations.
"Often, organizations mistaken-
ly believe they are entitled to a
property tax exemption because
they have received a federal in-
come tax exemption or exemption
from state sales taxes," Viertel
said.
The chief appraiser noted that
constitutional requirements for
property tax exemptions are con-
siderably more stringent than
provisions related to income and
sales taxes.
"If a nonprofit organization or a
business with tax abatements or
freeport goods believes it is en-
titled to a property tax exemp-
tion, it should contact the ap-
praisal district office quickly,
since the application deadline for
1990 is April 30," Viertel added.
Appraisal district staff can ex-
plain eligibility requirements and
application procedures. Addi-
tional information is available
from the Shackelford County Ap-
praisal District office at 527
Greer.

Pharmacy Facts
Medicines With Mutiple Uses
Although wc may think that mcdicincs have just one specific use, many
medicines have multiple uses. Aspirin, for example; is one of our most
versatile mcdicines. Some health experts refer to it as the "rniraclc drug."
Common aspirin is useful as a pain reliever, fever reducer, and inflamma-
tion fighter. Aspirin may also help prevent the occurrence of heart attacks
becausc of its ability to prevent the formation of small clots in the blood-
stream.
In low doses magnesium hydroxide (Milk of magnesia) is useful as an
antacid. In higher doses, magnesium hydroxide draws water into the
bowel and serves as a gentle laxative.
Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine can
be used for relief of a variety of health problems. The h islam inc-blocking
action of these mcdicincs makes them valuable in preventing or relieving
allcrgic reactions to pollens, dust, insect bites, poisonous plants, and bee
slings. The drying-cffecl of antihistamines provides relief of runny nose
and congestion associated with ihc common cold. Also, ihc drowsiness
associated with most antihistamines makes them ideal ingredients in
nonprescription sleep aid tablets and capsules.
