Mrs. Thompson's |>oeni is printed
below:
Who said, "Life is a bed of
roses?"
After all, don't roses have thorns?
Just try to pick them without care.
Then, wish you hadn 7 dared!
Living it one day at a time.
Sweet Jesus, is all we can ask.
Even if we don 7 make a dime.
Sometimes, getting through the
day is a task!
Dare we not lose and forget...
Our keen sense of humor.
For humor comes to our rescue,
so yet...
We can turn loose and laugh with
fervor!
Life is one big melting pot.
Tribulation brings patience.
Patience brings peace
Peace brings love and endurance!
All striving for the same goal...
Just to get up there to heaven.
And hear from the good Lord
above,
"Well done! Thou good and
faithful servant!"
Immunizations protect
against common
childhood diseases
Immunizations arc very important
and necessary. There are eight
childhood diseases which are pre-
ventable by immunization - diph-
theria, tetanus, pertussis, polio,
measles, mumps, rubella and He-
mophilus influenza type b. All can
cause both physical and mental
disabilities, and sometimes death.
Hepatitis B is also preventable by
immunization, although it is not
considered a childhood disease.
With the exception of tetanus,
these diseases are contagious. In
other words, they can spread rap-
idly from child to child and from
community to community as long
as children remain unprotected
against them.

Descendents of
Roberson family
hold reunion
Speeial lo The Citizen
Saturday evening. July 16th more
than 70 desccndcnts of W.A. Rob
erson and Joanna Oakley Roberson
enjoyed a supper of sandwiches,
chips and dips at the Dublin High
School Cafeteria.
For dessert an ‘ample amount of
homemade ice cream, coke, brown-
ies and cookies were consumed.
This feast was followed by a
game that everyone enjoyed. Those
who did not want to play, passed
the time just visiting and renewing
acquaintances.
Sunday morning the group began
returning for an eventful day with
more than 100 people present for a
meal of barbecue brisket, .fried
chicken, vegetable, salad and des-
serts. fifteen of the 19 living first
cousins were able to attend
It/ seems that more interest is
being shown by the third and fourth
generation cousins because our
group seemed to shift from the
mature to the young We hope the
trend continues and interest keeps
growing so that 100 descendents of
the Roberson's will come back to
Dublin each year to honor the
memory of both our parents and
grandparents.
This tradition has already gone
on for more than 50 years.

pointed (list the writing scores
dropped 6 percent from last ycai to
87th percentile. Still, only five
years ago, we were in tlie 37th
percentile. Our campus goal is to
score at least in the 80tli percentile
in math and reading and over 90
percent in writing
“I think there are several possible
reasons why Dublin saw scores
drop,” says Rhodes “lids is the
first time tlie test was giveu to
sopliomores. And some of tlie
math on the test is not taught liere
until the junior year. Also, many of
the rules regarding lest material and
scoring are constantly changing.
“Two lo three years ago, they
changed the mastery level from 60
to 70 percent for every subject.
Results of the math scores were
reported as too high, so the state
made it tougher. Now, most of the
math is really reading and logic.
The questions are word problems
focusing mostly on analyzing. So
for those students who may have a
problem with reading, the math
section is all the more difficult.
“ Teachers have spent a great deal
of time tutoring the kids and train-
ing them to perform well on the
TAAS. As for (he writing section
of the test, we teach the kids ii
formula for presenting an argument
and stress it the entire time they're
in school. The stale is putting a
great deal of pressure on all of the
school districts for improved per-
formance Prizes are awarded to
schools whose scores improve sig
nificantly, and schools whose
scores are low face investigation.
DHS did accomplish a goal not
met in the past four years - 100
percent graduation.
Percentage of district students
who passed TAAS for 1991, 1992
and 1993 respectively: Reading:
77.8, 85.1. 84. Writing: 91.3. 93.6,

Outdoor eating requires special care
By BARBARA WHITING
County Extension Agent
(on turners should be aware ol
food salcly precautions during the
summer when outdoor activities
such as picnics, campouls and
cookouis are popular.
Oltcu these activities involve'
food I hilortunately, the incidence
ol foodbomc illness also seems to
rise dining these months Bacteria
that cause loodbornc illness grow
best at warm weather temperatures,
specifically at “danger zone tem-
peratures” between 40 degrees
Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Foods that are most perishable
are called “red Hag" foods. They
are^noisl protein-containing foods
such as poultry, meats, eggs, milk
products, seafood, cream pies and
custards. Red llag items also in-
clude such foods as fried chicken
and hard-cooked or deviled eggs —
foods that arc sometimes misunder-
stood as being non-perishable.
It’s important to follow the “hot
food-cold food rule'’ to perishable
foods “Keep hot foods hot (over
140 degrees) and cold foods cold
(below 40 degrees)." The combina-
tion ol these foods plus tempera-
lures in the danger zone spell
trouble.
Prevention of fiiodborne illness;
starts with the planning of the
menu Do not include “red flag*'
foods unless you can keep them
either hot or cold If refrigeration is
needed, but not available, foods can
be packed in an ice chest It's
important not to pack the ice chest
too full and use adequate ice or ice
packs to keep the foods at 40
degrees. 1'se shallow containers so
food will stay chilled throughout
Also, keep the ice chest in the
shade
Some loods do not require refrig-
eration until opened and may be
better items to take on a picnic.
These includes canned meats, pea-
nut butter and jelly, breads, crack-
ers. cereal and nut mixes. Dried and
fresh fruits are another option.
Plan to eat as soon as possible
after you arrive at the picnic site.
Store any leftovers promptly and
properly, or throw them away It is
best to carry only what you plan to
eat. Don't leave foods out for more
than two hours. In hot summer
temperatures, one hour is a better
rule to (ollow.
If you pick up deli or fast food
items, either pick them up immedi-
ately before the event and eat as
soon as you arrive, or buy them the
night before and refrigerate.
Cleanliness is very important lo
prevent the spread of bacteria.
Avoid handling foods more than
necessary. Never handle raw foods
and cooked foods together.
