Charlie, Jr.
Makes Debut
Sheriff deputies at Cedar
Hill had a report earlier this
week that a body was hang-
ing from a tree at the Plea-
sant Valley Cemetery.
Upon arriving at the ceme-
tery, deputies found a dummy
complete with hangmans noose
and catsup for blood.
Sometime ago a dummy was
found In the rescue squad am-
bulance belonging to the fire
department. The Volunteer
firemen called that dummy
"Charlie Seymore."
So the dummy found this
week Is being called "Char-
lie Seymore Jr.’’ by the folks
around City Hall.
He now occupies a chair
behind the desk in the sheriff's
office at City Hall.
He has been known to startle
people who pass the door and
discover Charlie sitting at
the desk.
Nobody seems to know what
the point of the whole trick
was or who was responsible
for the prank.

in more ways and on a larger
scale than ever before. A total
of fifty-seven birth defects

ters have been established and
are now in operation In the
United States. These centers
are affiliated with more than
two-thirds of the major medi-
cal schools In this country.

centers was opened in Dallas,
Texas in September of this
year. Tbe facilities of this
newest center Is available to

prehensive care was avail-
able in only a few of the
