A Miracle
Drug...
A wise public health official
once made a startling state-
ment about cancer: “If
someone invented a drug
that would cure half of all
cancer cases the excitement
would be beyond belief. We
have such a drug: It is com •
fBimication.”
The truth of that statement
lies in the fact that half of all
those with cancer could be
cured if the disease were
found soon enough and re-
ceived prompt treatment.
At present, onlyone-thlrdare
being saved, mainly because
people don’t go to the doctor
in time for early diagnosis.
So we are faced with a
massive problem of commu-
nication and motivation. What
this means in terms of human
lives is that more than 108,000
cancer patients died last year
who might have been saved by
earlier and better treatment
During the month of April,
the American Cancer Society
conducts its annual educa-
tional and fund-raising Cru-
sade. Volunteers will be
spreading the word that an-
nual health checkups, in-
cluding cancer tests, can
save lives. They will be
distributing leaflets which
tell about cancer’s seven
warning signals.
The volunteers will ask you
for funds to support the
American Cancer Society’s
threefold program of educa-
tion, research and service to
cancer patients. They will
urge you to have a health
checkup now—if you have
not already had one—and do
so every year.
We urge you to do both.

What Turns You On
■ ■
o
■ ■
By JAMIE PRICE
A common expression of
today is, “That turnstne on”
or maybe, “That turns me
off!” Today three voice their
opinions on “What turns you
on.”
Debra Garner said, “When
I think about what turns me on,
the first thought in my mind
is boys! My boyfriend Kyle,
especially turns me on. (I
guess it is his good looks!).
“Sports also turn me on.
I really do like going to an ex-
citing football game. It turns
me on too, when lam playing
basketball. 1 like all activities
like riding horses, ten speed
bicycles or mini bikes.
“I can also get turned on
when I think about going to high
school next year. Iam looking
forward to high school be-
cause it will be so much fun. 1
think that our eight grade
graduation and graduation
party will be really exciting.
“There are just all sorts of
things that turn me on. But I
can always get turned on when
something good happens in
my life or life time. I believe
an example of this is the fact
that our P.O.W.s are return-
ing home and that the war is
over.”
Clippy Williams replied,
“Girls are the main thing
that turn me on! I just love
to go see different girls in
short dresses. I like every-
thing about girls and espe-
cially the way that they dance.
“I enjoyed playing football
through high school on the
Tiger team. Because of this,
I would have to say that foot-
ball games certainly turn me
on!
I also like some Morgan
David mixed with 151. This
with a little soul music really
turns me on!”

admissions are applied to all.
All facilities of the hospital
are available without distinc-
tion to all patients and visitors

national origin.
Gerald Moore
Administrator
Dottie Hurd answered,
“People! People really turn
me on, and especially the
young people. I like working
with all people, and myhus-
band and I have been doing so
for at least 30 years. We
have enjoyed every single
minute of it too. We began
with softball teams and then
just kept on going with dif-
ferent projects.
“The reason that we
started the Western wear
store, is because the people
asked us too. They believed
that Jacksboro needed this
type of store. It is because of
these wonderful people that
we have been able to keep a
store going and now move into
our new store.
“I am very interested in all
of the organizations that I
belong to. 1 guess you would
say that these “turnmeon.”
Some of these organizations
are the Sheriff’s Posse, Rough
Riders and Fort’s Trail. We
are the first location on the
trail and I have always been
very interested in the fort.
That old pioneer spirit also
turns me on.
“1 don’t want to forget the
school, because it turns my
husband and me on too. We
are very interested in the
school’s atheletics, and we
are proud members of the
Quarterback Club and Band
Boosters.”

When costs go up,
solving the problem i
forTP&L
isn’t
easy]
Texas Power & Light Company's costs of bringing you
dependable electric service have risen drastically in
recent years. And. they're still going up.
For example. TP&L uses thousands of racks ... a
small but essential piece of hardware which is
attached to poles as a support for power lines. In 1952,
the price of a rack was only 494. Today, the price is
$1.00.
In 1952, TPAL spent about $23 mlilion on new
generating plants, lines and other facilities needed to
produce and supply electric power. In 1972,
construction costs amounted to almost $110 million.
This increase was brought about partly by the
increasing demand for electricity and partly by
inflation. In recent years, environmental and esthetic
considerations have added new costs.
Power plant fuel, a major cost Item to TP4L, has gone
up in price more than 500% since 1952.
Texas Power & Light, and most electric utility
companies, have a solid history of keeping electric
rates as low as possible, consistent with good service.
In fact, TPAL’s average charge per kilowatt-hour in
1972 was substantially less than In 1952.
However, If reliable electric service Is to be provided
In the future, rising costs must eventually be passed
on in the form of increased rates to the consumer.
