Young Wildlife
Needs Protection
Texans were reminded by J.
Weldon Watson, executive di-
rector of the Parks and Wild-
life Department, that bird and
animal life deserves protective
measures during the spring
fawning and nesting season.
He particularly cautioned
against molesting fawn deer
which often times are adopted
under the mistaken belief that
they have been abandoned.
Watson said that Game and
Fish magazine, in an early edi-
tion, will illustrate what hap-
pened to a Florida man when
he was attacked by a “tame”
|deer which, as is natural, be-
came belligerent in the fall. He
noted a Texas law forbids
"adopting" wild deer.
Watson also suggested that
dogs, eats and other pets be
restrained . during the spring
season when doe deer are
heavy with fawn and when
ground nesting birds are vul-
nerable to domestic predators.
Strokes Cause One Local News...
Of Every Nine ''SHI
Deaths In Tens
Call it stroke, apoplexy " or
cerebrovascular accident. By
any name, it causes one of eve-
ry 10 deaths in the U. S. (1 of
every 9 in Texas), taking ap-
proximately 200,000 lives each
year. Stroke is the third lead-
ing cause of death in the U. S.,
outranked only by heart attacks
(500,000 deaths annually) and
cancer (about ‘275,000). These

The WMU Rally of the E
matiuel Baptist Association will
be held April 28 at 10 a. m. in
Woodrow Baptist Church.
Mrs. Virgil J,. Caraway will
preside and present a program
entitled “Accepting the Chal
lenge.”
Mrs. David Blalock will pre
sent the Calendar of Prtiyer
and Mrs. Lewis Lowery of
the ledger.
But there is also a positive
side of the stroke ledger, one
that grows brighter all the'time.
The Texas Heart Association
points out that from 1950 to
1960, the death rate from stroke
declined by 22 percent among
men aged 45-64.
We have reason to be optim-
istic. As one scientist noted, in
each year of the past decade,
research has uncovered and de-
veloped major aids to the treat
ment and prevention of stroke.
There are several causes of
stroke. As . in heart attack, the
underlying process which sets
the stage for a stroke is athero-
sclerosis, the condition in which
arteries are clogged or narrow-
ed by fatty deposits. In heart
attack, the clogging blocks the
flow of blood to a part of the
heart muscle. In stroke, the ar-
tery clogging impedes blood
flow to the brain.
Although the brain is only
about two percent of the body
weight, it receives 20 percent
of the heart’s total output of
blood. When a part of the brain
is deprived of oxygen-laden
blood, its nerve cells cannot
function. Depending on which
cells are knocked out, we may
be able to remember a tele-
phone number or tie our shoes
—because the brain calls the
signals that make our minds
and bodies work.

Triplets Born To Milk
Goat On Farm Here
Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Sykes, who
have a small farm on Highway
327 west of town, were sur-
prised this week when their
one milk goat turned up with
triplets—two females and one
male.
It is quite common for milk
goats to give birth to twins, but
triplets are rare. But what
made this event more of gn
oddity, according to Mrs. Sykes,
was that the father of the baby
goats was a sheep. She said the
only animal in the pasture with
the milk goat was a ram.
The Sykes farm is near the
Spinning Top Grocery.

Mrs. Eloise Smith, Mrs. Lucille
Miles, Mrs. Irene Simmons,
Mrs. Geneva Patton and H. G.
Lewis, also director of the play.
Mrs. Prince Ella McCoy is the
stage manager. \ j ■
of too many of pur older people
is to want to stay in office be-
yond their years. They don’t
realize we have a limit of op-
portunities for our younger
generation. We have in our
Hardin County men running
for election that are far be-
yond retirement age that are
able to live on retirement pen-
sions, but will not think about
our future kids and our ad-
vanced progress and I think it
is now our duty to try to per-
suade our elderly people to
give thought about our future
generation and let them have
their chance to prove their ad-
vanced learning.
We have got to go ahead
with 'modern progress so let’s
start now. We have now in our
congress and our senate a ma-
jority of men that have been
up there too long. They don’t
get out in our rural areas and
see the changes that have taken
place since they were elected
and they can’t possibly give us
proper representation. There-
fore I think it is our duty to
give our young and more pro-
gressive kids a chance.
