Benefits of breakfast taught in WIC class
Research has shown that
children who eat breaklast per-
form better in school, concen-
trate better, are more creative
and have a better memory.
These and other facts about the
importance of eating breakfast
wiil be presented durmg a quar-
terly nutrition class called
"Breaklast is for Champions",
which will be taught by staff of
the Outreach Health Services
(OHS) Women. Infants and
Children (WIC) clinie begin-
ning in April
"In addition to improving a
child's ability to learn, breakfast
plays and important role in pro-
moting or maintaining a healthy
weight." said Ann Latham.
Registered Licensed Dietician
and an assistant director for
OHS WIC. "One report shows
that children in two parent fam-
ilies who skip breakfast are
almost twice as likely to be
overweight than children who
eat breakfast. With childhood
obesity on the rise, the breakfast
issue becomes even more criti-
cal."
OHS WIC offers the follow-
ing suggestions for quick and
easy breakfasts that provide a
good start for your total daily
nutrient intake:
Fresh berries on cold cereal
with milk OR melon mixed with
oatmeal provide calcium. B6.
float and iron.
Think whole grain. Whole
wheat toast, hot oatmeal or a
cold cereal such as bran flakes
or shredded wheat with at least
five grams of fiber per serving
are you best bets. High-fiber,
whole-grain carbohydrates con-
tain more nutrients than refined,
processed ones.
Whip up a breakfast shake of
milk or yogurt with fruits and/or
grains.
Pop a frozen waffle in the
toaster and top it with fresh
fruit
Try refried beans, a small
slice of cheese and a tomato
slice on toasted wheat bread.
Make a smoothie with frozen
strawberries, a frozen banana
and four ounces of apple juice
or low-fat yogurt.
Many people think they do
not have time to eat breakfast.
OHS WIC has some suggestions
to address that issue: Plan
breakfast ahead of time, make a
quick breakfast of cereal with
milk, have the family decide the
night before what to have for
breakfast- the next morning, lake
turns making breakfast with
other members of the house-
hold, leave breakfast food at
work to eat when you get there,
decide what to wear the night
before and set out your clothes.
"WIC is a well respected, fed-
erally funded program that gives
children a healthy start by
encouraging optimal nutrition
during the critical stages ol
development. WIC participants
have access to vouchers for
healthy foods, nutritional
assessments.' ongoing nutrition
education classes, meal plan-
ning assistance, immunizations
and breastfeeding instruction
and support
bach month OHS offers
WIC services to more than
33.5(H) clients in 58 Texas coun-
ties. Free WIC services arc
available to middle-to-low
income women who are preg-
nant. breastfeeding, postpartum
or have an infant and/or children
younger than five years ol age

ments may apply. For informa-

It is always exciting to get the
notes of encouragement and
compliments that come with the
Historical Society members
responding to the Newsletter
and dues notice. For the past
two weeks, it has happened
again.
It was Sharon Moffett who
wrote from Irving, ..." Enjoyed
the street picture of 47 which
showed the Majestic Theater—
floods of memories!" From
Walter and Dorothy Krause in
Houston came, "We would love
to be there sometime to see all
the wonderful work the
Historical Society has accom-
plished. I love Dublin and I am
so proud to be from there."
It is special to give the names
of the newest members. (All
KNOW the goal of 1,000 mem-
bers and are pleased to be help-
ing.) Welcome to Eddie and
Tawana Caudle, Bob and Syl
Logan, Ed and Lynda Stafford.
There continue to be gener-
ous memorials to both those
who have passed away recently
and those of some time ago.
Dick Spencer*, and Alicia
Tidmore’s Tftames have ' bdtn
added to our Memorial Book.
Additional memorials have
been received honoring three
whose names were placed in the
book earlier: Tom Bone, O.D.
Clark, and Mr. and Mrs. E.C.
Fewell. It is an honor for the
Historical Society to be chosen
for such memorials.
"What happened?" Quite a
few folks saw the yellow tape
across the front of the museum
and misunderstood it to be some
kind of "police tape!" It was
Judy Gordon who helped put
"it" up and who has been help-
ing explain: "The lettering reads
SUPPORT THE TROOPS!"
That also explains why there are
quite a few red, white, and blue
items throughout the museum
these days lots offlags and
more.
The newest artifact came in
this past week-end, thanks to
the family of Ruby McCormick.
Now in Our Home section is a
wonderful, old "britches" quilt.
Remember those heavy, wool
comforter- type quilts with the
hand-tied squares made from
grandpa and grandma's old
coats and britches? This one
looks right at home beside the
beautiful old coal-burning
stove, the cane-bottom chair,
and the pictures of the old, old
~ houses.
Another of the great things
about the Historical Society
family is the number of mem-
bers who volunteer to host one
day per month. Dublin and
Dubliners are unique, as very
few museums in small towns
are able to be open seven days a
week. The newest host hostess

calendar is brimming with new
names and names of several
who are returning to help.
Illnesses and personal situations
have meant several of the "faith-
ful" will be sitting this quarter
out. They each have been
thanked profusely for giving of
themselves and their time.
New volunteers are Judy
Noel Lunsford of Comanche ,
John Muller, the Hirst-Wade
family - Patty, Ike, and Sam -
Karen Wright, and Lisa
Leatherwood. Returning to help
are Sam Lamkin, Hazel
Williams, Laura Hutchins,
Hilda Underwood, Doris
Hancock, Gerald and Elizabeth
Cook. An amazing statistic is
that there will be 51 individuals
who will be hosting during the
next three months!
Of course, these folks do
much more beyond their "day"
at the museum. A good example
is Ida Jonc who was hosting
last month ai.J discovered mail-
ing labels needed to be made.
She took the hundreds of names
and addresses home to Carlton
with her; and the next day two
sets of labels were ready!
Dr. W.H. Stephen had a very
good day last Friday when he
had more visitors than any day
he has hosted at the museum. It
was wonderful to see him
enjoying what he was doing and
see the guests responding with
such pleasure.
The guest book continues to
have many comments express-
ing appreciation for the muse-
um. Come in for a visit any
afternoon between 1 and 5 to
see what is happening.

REMEMBERING
DUBLIN
★ TEXAS 'k
Surrounding area pushed Dublin
Communities surround-
ing Dublin in the early
years helped shape and
mold the development of
Dublin.
Dublin, for a number of,
years, was overcrowded
due to bustling develop-
ment of area communi-
ties. Those communities
for various reasons
including farming and lit-
tle transportation, were
thriving on their own.
Such was the case with Purves.
The height of this population boom
came in about 1900 following the con-
solidation of the Old Salt Branch, Pecan
Grove, Fields and Live Oak Schools to
form. Purves Normal School. A four-
room building was constructed to
accommodate the students, making it
one of the largest country schools in this
area.
The population boom created a lack of
housing.
To meet this need, a Mrs. Mattie
Stephen erected a 22-room hotel, or
boarding house, in Purves in 1900. At
Stephen Hotel, Purves, Texas
times, she is reported to have had as
many as 20 boarders.
The hotel was one of a thriving down-
town area that included Gilbert & White
General Merchandise store, E. L. Mote
Market, Ace Purves Barber Shop, Baker
Blacksmith Shop and gristmill, Stroble
Grocery & Notions, Mote Short Order
Cafe, a Post Office, churches and a gin.
The hotel burned in 1915 but by that
time, it had served its need and was not
rebuilt.
Purves was named after the first black-
smith, James Morgan Purves, who was
appreciated as a great asset to the area.
