By Wendell Tooley
and he still maintains he is such, 1 was
surprised that he came out with the
largest deficit ever....if anything, I
expected Ronald Reagan to lower the
deficit.
But hack to the coming years____we
repeat, the President is in a perfect
situation to cut out or lower budgets
lot a lot of unnecessary things that go
on in government.
He can take care of these unpopular
decisions, with no thought of his
popularity for another election to of-
fice.
\s the President begins a new term,
I wish hint well. I pray for him. I
personally hope he can lower the
deficit, gi\c up some of his defense
money on the way to lowering the
deficit and establish a lasting peace
with the peoples of the world.
IHI PI A IN VIEW SCHOOL system
has finished a study revealing that the
students who participate in extra-
curricular activities make the best
grades.
I his is something I ha\e suspicioned
all the time — and I would guess that
the same pattern would be true in
I ulia schools.
I his report really shoots a hole
through Perot's philosophv!
IHI HORNETTES soria got a com-
pliment from Amarillo Daily News
sportsw titer Lance Lahnert in the
Monday edition. Lance says Amarillo
unis basketball games arc boring____40
louls. 40 turnovers and K0 reasons to
shake his head in disgust per game.
However Lance says he likes to see
Nazareth. Tulia. Panhandle and Level-
land girls basketball teams play.
Well. I like to see the Hornettes
classed with teams like Nazareth.
Panhandle and Levelland....all out-
standing teams.
VVI XRLN'T ABLE TO report all
the basketball games each week sim-
ple because we cannot get the coaches
to fill out o'ur game record sheets. . .
sorrv 'bout that.
IHI RE'S A STORY on page 1 about
an 1 Ml course beginning next month
and it is hoped that many people all
over the county will enroll.
I lie EMT people tell me they wish
ilies had a member of every family in
the counts trained for emergency
situations.
Our EMTs probably saved the life of
a 15 vear-old boy at Kress High School
a couple of weeks ago. He was
severely knifed twice in the arm and
once in the back of the head.
He might have bled to death if the
EMTs had not been close at hand and
controlled the bleeding until he could
be moved to the Swisher Memorial
Hospital.
TWO OK IHKEE weeks ago I said
in this column I was surprised that the
people of Amarillo hadn't formed
POWER or STAND groups to fight the
nuke waste dump that is being studied
in their area____Tulia is about twice as
far from the Deaf Smith location as
Amarillo.
I said 1 was surprised that the
people of Amarillo weren't gathering
up money to pay lawyers to go to court
against the DOE.
Now. I understand why they're
not afraid of the nuke .dump. In the
Saturday Amarillo newspaper Amarillo
Mayor R. P. Klein said the City of
Amarillo has not taken an official
stand on location of the nuclear waste
dump in Deaf Smith County and
added, “we have no prohibition again-
st the movement of nuclear waste
through town....nuclear doesn't bother
us....Pantex has been a good employ-
er. it's a well-run operation, and
there's been no disaster yet.”
LET S SEE NOW — there must be
something consoling I could say about
the Super Bowl game....the Cowboys
could have played the 49ers a better
game than did Miami!
It was quite evident that you can't
win the Super Bowl without a running
game. The entire Dolphin team didn't
make as much rushing vardage as 49er
quarterback Joe Montana.
MARY TOM IS an extremely cons-
cientious girl and Thursday as we
started for Canyon, she took up the
IRS travel record book to record our
miles, gas. etc.
As we started ou' I told her. "now
this first half mile is considered
personal. . .from here to the Herald."
As we headed out of town for Canvon
I said, "now from hereto Canyon, the
mileage is considered business bec-
ause we're gonna look at a copy-
machine for The Herald."
Then, we decided to go on to
Amarillo and eat dinner at Eurr's
Cafeteria. I dutifully told Mary Tom,
"now you'll have to keep the mileage
from Canyon to Amarillo. . .that's
personal use of the vehicle. . .and
back to Canyon. . .then business from
Canyon back to Tulia. . .then personal
from The Herald to the house."
. . .and our national leadership
claims they're gonna simplify report-
ing income taxes and deductions,
.we're about simpled out!
I LIKE TO BRAG on THS graduates
who do good....notice in the Canadian
newspaper that superintendent of
schools there. Jim Pollard, has receiv-
ed a renewal of his contract.
Jim's mother used to live here,
think he has a sister, Marv Oler, who
still lives here.
Jim’s not kin to our school superin-
tendent Howard Pollard but they
both have a good name....and very
successful in their profession.
BECAUSE we live in an ag oriented
community we have been quick to
publish, year-after-year, the continual
price increases that the farmer must
overcome to stay in business.
Now. we'd like to have a little space
in the local newspaper to tell what the
Postal Rate Commission is doing and
has done to the weekly newspaper.
Let’s take a look at what has
happened to postage rates during the
past 12 years. Here’s a comparison
table showing the percentage of in-
creases between June 1972 and May
1984: (and it's going up again in
February.)
E'irst-class, 174 percent; second-
class carrier. 288 percent; second-class
in county, presorted, 618 percent
(that's where we pay) and third-class
bulk regular. 141 percent (that’s all
that junk mail you don't want).
Sheriff’s Report
Offenses reported and other activi-
ties of the Swisher County Sheriffs
Department for period ending Januarv
21. 1985.
One report of assualt was reported
during reporting period.
Seven subpoenas were served.
Thirteen citations were served.
One execution was executed and
returned.
Three executions were received for
publication and service.
Five inmates were transported from
Plainsicw Detention Center for trial.
One inmate was transported to Tex-
as Department of Corrections in Hun-
tsville.
Bailiff was furnished for 242nd Dis-
trict Court, for 64th District Court and
for Swisher County Court.
Jail Count 14.
Patrolman Jim Dulin
Speaks To Happy
Students
Patrolman Dulin. was guest speaker
at Happy. Wednesday. January 16.
The fourth, fifth and sixth grade
Health classes are studing safety.
Patrolman Dulin gave a great contribu-
tion to the study. He spoke on safety
in the use of seat belts: also, explain-
ed the new law requiring the use of
seat belts for young children.
The students were interested in
steps and measures to take when a
person is drunk. He also discussed the
new law about alcohol use in the car.
The Health classes enjoyed his talk
and visit. Mrs. Stephens states she
has received great reports from the
parents of these students.
WHEN SOMEBODY says to you.
" That's a good question,” you can
rest assured that your question is a lot
better than the answer you’re going to
get. •

year.
A SMALL TOWN is described as a
place where everybody knows which
men beat their wives, and also the
ones that really need it!

Botulism In Fowl
QUESTION: Is botulism in fowl the same thing that affects people?
ANSWER: BOTULISM for both humans and fowl is a form of food
poisoning. Though a bacteria is involved, it is not an infectious condition.
The animal has to directly ingest the toxin produced by a certain bacillus.
For humans, this usually happens when foods are improperlv canned or
preserved; tor fowl, it conies from feeding on decaying plant and animal
matter.
Epsom salts force-fed to poisoned duck or goose by funnel ntay work.
However, prevention is best and this involves the removal of rotting
material from reach of animals.
