Butter And Cheese, Please
Bonnie Bell Tucker receives her cheese and butter allotment from Leo Keating,
parks foreman, at the Burleson Community Center Wednesday, The giveaway
almost didn’t come off for the second time in a row, but Parks Director Dave
Petika and Parks Supervisor Jack Unger, assisted by Mike Tucker of the Seventh-
day Adventist Church, drove to Palo Pinto in two vans loaned by Rev. Van Houser
of First Baptist Church. Palo Pinto's delivery truck broke down lr, Weatherford
after Community Center officials here had already conducted registration for the
giveaway, so Petika made the hasty arrangements to allow the event to come off
on schedule. Other volunteers assembled at the last minute were: E.E. Mabe;
Aurora Rendon: Mary Rodieck; Montine Watters; Faye Rasco; and Tempa Lar-
son. I’hoto by Terry Tran*
64 injured in wrecks
The Texas Highway Patrol
investigated 64 rural traffic
accidents in Johnson County
during December, 1983, ac-
cording to Sergeant G.J.

Area. These accidents re-
sulted in the death of a Bur-
leson woman, Cheryl Peace,

Total rural traffic acci-
dents for Johnson County for
this year is 676, which have
resulted in 13 deaths and 428
injuries.
The 22 counties which com-
prise Highway Patrol Dist-
rict 6A have had a total of
6456 rural traffic accidents
this year which have resul-
ted in 200 deaths and 3943

Immunization clinic slated
at Mound Elementary School
The Texas Department of
Health Region 5 Office in
Arlington announces an im-
munization Clinic to be held
in Burleson at Mound Ele-
mentary School, 205 S.W.
Thomas on Monday, Feb. 6,
from 4 - 6 p.m.
The clinic will provide im-
munization against Dip-
theria - tetanus - pertusis
(DTP), Polio, Rubeola (red
measles) and Rubella (Ger-
man measles), for infants
two months through 18
years. Precautions must be
taken with females in the
12-18 age group to insure that
they are not pregnant when
they are immunized with
measles and/or rubella vac-
cines, and that they do not
become pregnant for three
months following immuniza-
tion
Immunizations are incom-
plete if a child has not re-
ceived three doses of DTP
and polio vaccine with at
least one dose administered
past the fourth birthday.
All children under 18 years
must have an informed con-
cent form read and signed by
the parent or legal guardian
If possible, the parent should
accompany the child to the
clinic Immunization records
should accompany the child
to the clinic and be examined
by the Public Health Nurse
who will answer any ques-
tions. The following children
would have immunizations
deferred:
—Those acutely ill and
with fever;
—Those taking antibiotic
treatment for an acute ill-
ness, and
—Those who have com-
pleted antibiotic treatment
Self-study reduces
personal health risks
“Wellness” is much more
than freedom from the
symptoms of illness, says
health educator Dr. Mary
Ann Huessner
“It’s a way of life which re-
quires a conscious commit-
ment to the highest level of
physical, mental, social and
even spiritual develop-
ment,” explains Huessner, a
specialist with Texas A&M
University’s Agricultural
Extension Service home
economics program.
The key to achieving well-
ness is self-study of your
lifestyle, and then an effort
to reducing personal health
risks, she says.
A “health risk appraisal”
—simply a short paper and
pencil test—can help analyze
your lifestyle. It contains
questions about eating and
exercise habits, alcohol and
drug consumption, stress
level and safety habits. You
then score the test to deter-
mine the degree to which you
are risking your health
Health risk appraisals are
now widely available to the
public, says the specialist.
For example, the National
Health Information Clear-
inghouse will send a free
“Health Style” test if you
write to P.O. Box 1133,
Washington, D C 20013.
County Extension offices
participating in the United
States Department of Agri-
culture’s year long “Food
and Fitness” campaign will
also have health risk ap-
praisals for distribution to
the public, she adds.
“But the health risk ap-
praisal itself does not create
wellness,” says Huessner,
“since you must change
those lifestyle habits that put
you at risk in the first
place.”
Reducing health risks
generally includes the
following:
—Avoiding cigarettes and
drugs and following sensible
drinking habits. The ill-
effects of these substances in
causing diseases, and their
involvement in accidents has
been well documented
—Developing better eating
habits to avoid both over-
consumption and undernu
trition An ever increasing
list of degenerative diseases
are now considered diet-
related Nutritional aware-
ness will lead to a better
selection of foods for a
balanced, healthy diet
— Increasing exercise to
counter balance today's
sedentary lifestyle. As little
as 15-30 minutes of vigorous
exercise three times a week
will help you have a health-
ier heart, eliminate excess
weight, tone up muscles and
sleep better
—Learning to handle the
inevitable stresses of daily
living Unhealthy responses
to stress, such as driving too
fast drinking too much, or
lengthy anger or grief, can
Mock air crash
aids training
CLEBURNE - Cleburne
Composite Squadron's par
ticipation in a field training
exercise at Eagle Mountain
National Guard Base Jan
27-28 was a great success,
according to Public Affairs
Officer John A Seay. Jr
The field problem consist-
ed of a search for survivers
of a simulated air crash
Land navigation, radio com-
munication and first aid
skills were all used The
three badly injured surviv-
ers were found and rescued
in less than one hour from
the time the crash was re
ported The only information
given the three teams in-
volved was that a plane was
down with three persons on
board and a compass head-
ing from a given starting
point which was different for
each team All three teams
found the crash site at ap-
proximately the same time
The victims were given first
aid and quickly evacuated. It
was very realistic for all in-
volved.
The exercise was headed
up by Capt. Steven Haney
and Capt Robert J Mattes
Capt. Mattes is a captain in
the United States Air Force
and came up though the
Civil Air Patrol cadet pro-
gram before becoming a pi
lot in the U S. Air Force.
In all, there were tour Civil
Air Patrol Squadrons in-
volved These included Cle-
burne Composite Squadron.
Arlington Composite Squad-
ron. Mid-Cities Composite
Squadron and Waco Com-
posite Squadron
In 1983 Civil Air Patrol was
involved in 1.462 emergency
service missions, spent
14,719 hours flying these
missions and has been cred-
ited with saving the lives of
114 persons
Today, CAP units are lo-
cated in all 50 states.

and mental problems Re-
laxation techniques, medita-
tion or prayer are just a few
of the means people can use
to cope with stress
—Safety consciousness at
home, work, school, play and
on the highway. Even simple
actions like buckling seat
belts and keeping poisons out
of the reach of children can
greatly reduce safety risks
For those who don't have
the motivation to change
lifestyle habits on their own.
