Seminole (Texas) Sentinel, Nov. 16,1988, PAGrK 3
50 YEARS AGO
A total of 61 checks were
received by Gaines County
farmers in mid-October for last
year’s farm program. For the
current year, 84 checks totalling
$7,748.07 have been received on
the program. The money was in
the form of subsidy checks in
payment of three cents per pound
on 65 per cent of the cotton base
on the 1937 cotton program.
More checks are expected in the
near future.
Actual construction work has
begun on the east-west highway
through Seminole. A crew of 25
men are working on a stretch of
road beginning about five miles
east of Seminole, and is headed in
an easterly direction. A battery of
road machinery will go into
action in mid-October.
Bids for construction of a new
$79,000 grammar school building
were advertised and will be
received by the school board in
late October. The new building
will be a duplication of the
present high school building, but
will have a pitched roof. It will
be located just south of the
present building.
In the "Week in Review"
column of The Sentinel, it was
reported that a new wage-hour
law would go into effect in late
October, and would decree
minimum wages of 25 cents an
hour and a maximum work week
act places compliance squarely on
the shoulders of industry.
Administrator Elmer F. Andrews
will issue opinions guiding
employers in determining their
status, however he has pointed
out that wage-hour regulations
will offer no "pat definition" of
interstate commerce.
The Western Grocery and
Market was advertising chuck
roast at 17 cents a pound; a pound
of oleo for 14 cents; a two-pound
box of crackers for 27 cents; 10
pounds of potatoes for 19 cents;
and a half-gallon size of tomato
juice for 22 cents.
Jill Darby honored with baby
shower in Scott home Sunday
The home of Delorious Scott,
2107 NW Ave. C, was the scene
of a baby shower Sunday
honoring Jill Darby.
A centerpiece consisting of
daisies and baby’s breath in a
wooden rabbit basket centered the
honoree’s table, with refreshments
also served from the table.
Approximately 60 guests were
served refreshments of sausage
rolls, blueberry muffins, fruit and
dip, crackers, sour cream and
spinach dip, decorated cookies
and a cake decorated with iced
rabbits.
Special guests at the event
included Edna Wood, mother of
the honoree; Betty Darby,
mother-in-law of the honoree; and
Crystal Darby, daughter of the
honoree.
Hostesses presented the
honoree with a playpen as their
gift.
Those serving as hostesses
along with Mrs. Scott included,
Charla Brotherton, Carolyne
Gartman, Buena Glenn, Sherry
Kildow, Jerry Smith and Jan
Williams.
Jenny Merryman feted recently
Jenny Merryman was feted
with a baby shower recently in the
Lee Jameson home, 308 SW 10th
St.
Table decorations included
bright, primary colors used on the
table, with a multi-colored rag
basket, filled with Teddy bears
and baby goodies and tied with
balloons serving as a centerpiece
and gift.
Finger foods were served along
with punch to persons attending
the shower.
Special guests included the
honoree’s sister-in-law, Anna
Harley, and Opal Sweatt.
Hostesses included Julie
Jameson, Tanya Bell and Tracy
Whitfield and the hostess gift was
a nursery lamp and a mobile for
the crib.

Carbohydrates are the quickest
and most efficient source of
energy for physical activity.
Carbohydrates are easily
broken down to glucose and used
for energy or they are converted
to glycogen and stored for later
use.
The amount of glycogen stored
determines how long an athlete
can function prior to exhaustion.
Coaches often complain that
their athletes are "stale" by the
end of the week. This general
fatigue may be the result of a
consistent depletion of body
energy stores (glycogen reserves)
and dehydration.
Athletes should have sufficient
quantities of high-carbohydrate
foods (at least 55 per cent of total
calories.)
Carbohydrates are "simple,"
such as sugars in candy and
desserts and honey and syrups, or
"complex," such as the starches in
cereals, breads, pasta, potatoes,
fruits and vegetables,
Complex carbohydrates are
also good sources of essential
vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Four or more servings of foods
from the fruit and vegetable
groups and four or more servings
from the bread and cereal groups
are recommended to provide
adequate complex carbohydrates
in the diet each day.
There is no such thing as
obtaining "quick energy" from
candy bars, sugar solutions or any
form of food substances.
It takes at least 10 hours for the
body to break down
carbohydrates into usable energy.
Most of the energy used by the
working muscles comes from
energy stored in the muscles for
several days to many hours before
a workout or competition.
To maintain energy stores, a
balanced diet high in complex
carbohydrates is recommended.
Foods and vegetables with
high sugar concentrations should
be avoided before and during
competition. High sugar
concentrations in the stomach
draws fluids to the digestive tract
and away from the working
muscles where they arc needed.
A high sugar level also slows
stomach emptying and
contributes to changes in blood
sugar levels which may result m
early fatigue and weakness.
