To The Editor,
I recently had the opportu-
nity to visit your small com-
munity, unfortunately not
under very pleasant circum-
stances. I had driven from
Hobbs, NM to pick up my
three little great nephews,
who had become victims of
their parents stupidity and
were stranded and home-
less.
I Thank God each day that
since this had happened to
these little boys, that they
were in Jacksboro, Texas.
I would sincerely like to
thank the many people, who
kept our "little ones", warm
and with proper meals, the
Rev. DuBouis and the entire
Ministerial Alliance of yom
city. Also, the very helpful
people who helped us try and
locate them, once we arrived,
the Jacksboro Police Depart-
ment, their dispatcher, the
wife of the police officer who
works at the Quick Shop, the
waitress at your 24 hour
restaurant, and all the fine
people of your fair city who
assisted in our search.
Many thanks and may God
bless you all.
/s/ Clara Marchington
(The Black Van)
P.S. For those concerned,
"Our Little Boys" were found
and brought home. They are
doing fine, have gotten back
in school and glad to be
home.

Pharmacy & Your Health
Cold Medicines
One out of every two Americans will have at least one cold
during the winter season. And people spend between 500 and
700 billion dollars each year for nonprescription drug products
for cold symptons such as runny or stuffy nose, cough, and
headache. How do you choose from the close to 50,000 different
cold products that are the market? If you talk to physicians or
pharmacists, they may advise products based on those cold
symptons present.
Runny or Stuffy Nose: Antihistamines work like "drying
agents" to help reduce a runny nose and clear congestion from
Hie sinuses. Since people often respond differently to antihista-
mines, you may have to try several different brands. Deconges-
tants constrict nasal blood vessels, improving the movement of
air through the nose and sinuses.
Cough: Antitussives are used to reduce an excessive, dry
cough. Expectorants are helpful in loosening thick, sticky spu-
tum in the lungs. Drinking lots of water is also helpful.
Headache/Fever: AsDirin and acetaminophen both relieve
simple headache and reduce fever. Acetaminophen is probably
the best choice for children.
