Tuesday and caused a mild
flurry of excitement and much
curiosity.
Mrs. L. J Broussard, Mrs
Fannin’s daughter called to re-
port the incident, saying tin-
foil was in strips about six
inches long and about a quarter
inch wide. It was coming from
way up high arid what is it?
The way these things work
oul sometime is a caution. You
wouldn't ordinarily go to a vet-
erinarian about things celestial

a party at her home Monday
afternoon. Games were played
and prizes awarded. Refresh-

Lynn Ray Pattillo, Jerry

tended the FFA convention in
Dallas last Tuesday. They were
accompanied by their FFA

They also visited Dim- Dean’s

thing to him,
"Oh, that's shaft,” he said.
“Shaft?” someone asked
dumbly.
“Shaft. It’s stuff they throw
out of SAC bombers to confuse
radar,” Dr. Ferrell, recently a
radar operator himself, ex-
plained. It seems these little
strips of foil, dumped out of
big SAC planes flying so high
it takes a radar screen to see
them will make a bunch of
false “pips" on the radar scope
and cause any but the most
careful radar man to “lose” the
plane. The stuff could have
been dropped hundreds of
miles away our local vet said.

Monday was a big day in the
life of John Zuber, my 10-year
old John. Ricky and I slipped
out to the Double R early at
dawn to try for some bass be-
fore work time.
John was the champ, land-
ing a whopping three and a
half pounder, his first “keep-
er." The* big bass hit one of
those off-pink plastic worms.
There was quite a bit of ruckus
there for a while between the
time the bass hit the bait and
we got him on the stringer, but
everything came out ail right
lor everybody except the bass.
Ed Yoksh had one of those
things happen to him down at
the coast last week that you
hear about. Yoksh was fishing
with S. A. “Foots” Wallace and
his dad. Van Wallace.
A fish struck Yoksh shrimp
and in the ensuing contest, the
rod broke and he lost rod, reel,
fish and all over the side. He
rigged up several treble hooks
on another rod with sinkers
and began casting and dragging
over the spot the rod fell. Sure
enough, he eventually snagged
the line and retrieved the
whole business, including a
nice speckled trout, according
to Yoksh and his companions,
i They had two good days
fishing, too, landing about. 40
specks Thursday and 50 Friday,
at the North Jetty.

Hough, his brother Lawrence
of Lufkin and Loy Brewer, lo-
ca.l teacher, put in a day on
the coast Saturday, catching a
total of 23 fine speckled trout.
Joe Davis, mainten ance
chief up at the high school is
a pretty fair gardener himself
if his mush melons are any
sample.
Davis brought one by the of-
fice last week that was a doozy.
It measured 32 inches around
and weighed 153/4 pounds. Ho
has one row in the garden but
has raised a “nice crop” of the
tasty melons thus far.
C. D. Creasy is enjoying one
of (hose near perfect vacations,
chasing after bass up at Dam
B. He fished Monday and
Tuesday and returned with a
four and a half pounder Tues-
day, one of five.
Creasy says the lake is im-

urday and that without any
further disturbance it should
be prime in a day or two.

RIGHT OF WITNESSES
By far the most vital people
Weatherford Walls Bullet
Scared
A double log cabin stands at
Holland’s Lake just a few miles
east of Weatherford, Texas
west of Fort Worth.
Itt east room is where George
McCleskey was killed by In-
dians in 1873. This room still
contains its bullet - scarred
walls.
The cabin was a popular spot
for old settlers, reunions. Now
McCleskey was killed Fby In-
neers of Parker County.
in our system of justice are
witnesses Everyone else in a
trial exists to hear what they
have to say.
Our courts need witnesses. A
jury to find the facts The Judge
to apply the law. The lawyer
to tell his client’s story.
Chances are you worry, about
stepping up, taking an oath,
and telling your story in court.
On some rare occasions you
could be called upon to testi-
fy about something affecting
your own standing in the com-
munity.
As a witness you too may
have the right, for example,
not to testify against yourself
in somebody else’s lawsuit or
crime trial.
If you are ever in such a
bind, consult a lawyer of your
own choice on what to do. The
lawyer wh<> called you to tes-
tify has a sworn duty to pro-
tect his client, not you. But
your lawyer is sworn to keep
what you tell him secret and to
advise you in your own inter-
ests within the law.
Wise lawyers tell their wit-
nesses to obey 12 rules:
1. Go to the place (say. the
scene of an accident). Check
your memory before you go to
court. People forget and get
caught up on details. But if you
check what you saw and heard
you are on solid ground.
2. Visit a court. Hear how
other witnesses testify. It will
help you see your role on the
witness stand.
3. Wear clean, conservative
clothes.
4 Don’t memorize your story
word for word. That is the sur-
est way to sound bad. But think
of what you saw and heard.
5. Listen to the questions you
are asked with care and answer
thoughtfully.
6. Give a simple, direct an-
swer in your own words. Don't
be rushed.
7. If you err—and people of-
ten do—correct yourself at
once. If you can’t remember
some detail, say so. Don’t bluff.
8. Tell the truth. Don’t fig-
ure which side you may help.
Don’t identify yourself with
either side.
9. Stop when the judge
breaks in, and don’t try to
sneak an answer in before he
can stop you. What you might
say could end In a "MstriaL”
10. Keep cool and doh't dasfi
back.
11. If they ask you: Certainly,
ypu have talked to other peo-
ple—-the lawyer,, tor example;
and yes you may be reim-
bursed for certain ot your ex-
pense* Incurred in attending
the trial.
12. Remember, without wit-
nesses our law would fail to
do justice. If you are called, be
a good witness.

About Your Health
This time of year mothers
begin to get slightly frantic
with all the details of getting
children ready for school. Es-
pecially frantic are mothers
who have small children who
will begin school for the first
time.
There is more to be done
than meets the eye. There are
shots to be administered,
clothes to buy. teeth to be
checked, health examinations,
and birth certificate copies to
be arranged for.
Most school districts require
proof-of-age for children be-
ginning school. The most con
venient proof for most parents
is a copy of the child’s birth
certificate.
Such copies are available
from local registrars, county
clerks, or from the Texas State
Department of Health’s Rec-
ords and Statistics Section.
Certified birth certificate
copies may be obtained by
sending one dollar ($1.00) to
the Texas State Department of
Health at 410 East Fifth Street
in Austin.
Along with the dollar, the
child’s name, place and date of
birth, and the parents’ names
should be included to speed the
records search.
Thousands of birth certifi-
cate requests are processed
each week in the Austin facil-
ity. However, during the late
slimmer months the load in-
creases substantially because of
the many extra requests from
parents with children begin-
ning school.
The work load has been
extra-heavy this summer be-
cause of the pending raise in
birth certificate copy rates
from parents with children be-
ginning school.
The work load has been
extra-heavy this summer be-
cause of the pending raise in
birth certificate copy rates
from $1.00 to $1.50 effective
Sept. 1, 1961. Many Texans are
trying to beat the deadline.

For Disease
Photosehsitizatlon, « non-
contagious disease of livestock,
is widespread in Northeast and
East Texas. Dr. C. hi Patterson,
veterinarian for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
said the disease is caused when
livestock graze certain vegeta-
tion under specific conditions.
These specific conditions, Dr.
Patterson said, include a dry
period when pastures are
grazed short, followed by plen-
ty of rain and rising tempera-
tures. a condition which is now
statewide. This situation, he
For this reason authorities
recommend that parents make
their requests early enough to
insure delivery in time for
school. Ordinarily, about a
week is required including
mailing time.
So mother should take a hint,
and get those certificate re-
quests mailed off early, in ad-
dition to the million-and-one
details she must attend to be-
fore school starts.
Nearly 300,000 children will
be entering Texas schools for
the first time this year. (A
weekly feature from Public
Health Education Dicision,

Health).

The animal’s body becomes up-
set and the toxic photodynamic
agents are not eliminated by
the liver or kidneys. A few ani-
mals or an entire herd may be-
come affected at the same time.
The toxic effect appears to
last only a few days on closely
grazed, poorly conditioned,
native pastures. When the an-
nual grasses have stopped the
quick growth rate and contain
a higher content of fiber, the
toxic effects are minimized, Dr.
Patterson said. It is not known
how long the toxic effect will
last when livestock are grazed
on cured, moldy Bermudagrass
pasture.
