I enjoyed my three days off in
Fort Worth seeing the sights with
my sisters, and am now ready to get
back to a routine Sunday.
The First Congregational
Methodist Church came and sang
for us after the residents had a good
bible lesson with Cottonwood Bap-
tist Church which furnishes the
material fa. We had a good
response from this.
Monday, Jerry and her sister in
the home did the nail care as 1 was
still in Fort Worth at this time.
Joel McCoy was here in the af-
ternoon and brought the lesson
from the second chapter of Mat-
thew. We mised gong on our walk
Tuesday as it was rather cool.
We did make our donuts which
were enjoyed.
The Church of Christ trough the'1®
bible lesson from Psalms. In the af-
ternoon we had Father Baker with
us to play the piano and singing
was led by Joy White as I was in
Waco at the Continuing Education
in Aits and Crafts. Thanks, Joy.
Thursday we had sitteicise, mens
only and a discussion on what
crafts we are going to undertake
from the ones I showed.

full day. We had sitteicise, bingo,

Arbor Day To Be Changed In 1990
Texans wanting to help overcome
the global wanning trend by plant-
ing more trees will want to be aware
of a new Arbor Day date in 1990.
Dr. Michael Walterscheidt, fores-
ter with the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, said the state’s Ar-
bor Day will be celebrated next
Aocil 27. the last Friday of April.
Texans had been observing it
previously on the third Friday of
January.
He said the Tfexas legislature pas-
sed a resolution that was signed by
Gov. Bill Clements changing the
Texas Arbor Day date.
“Having Arbor Day in April al-
lows trees to be planted by Texas
residents when the trees are readily
available for purchase from local
outlets. The April Arbor Day date
also coincides with attempts to es-
tablish a National Arbor Day” Wal-
terscheidt said.
He said the 1989 Congress es-
tablished the last Friday in April for
GRADUATE—Barbara Bean of Dublin was graduated from
TOPS to KOPS during the Friday meeting of the TOPS Club
meeting. She reached her ideal weight goal and was presented

members with birthdays were Mary
Scales, Ronda Dyer, Karen
Severian, Mary Srader, Maggie
Medina, Ruth Nichols, Barbara
Bean, Joyce Daniels, Ruby Pratt,
Sherry Miller, and Thmmy Graham.
This week we want to acknow-
ledge our staff member, Ruby Pratt.
She is our dietary supervisor. She
graduated form Dublin High
School. She later attended Barstow
fully a permanent National Arbor work for ten years and has beat
Day will be established soon.
Waltersccheidl said that because
of a wide range of climate regions in
Texas, it has been difficult to es-
tablish one date for Arbor Day that
is suitable for the entire state.
“Some trees are planted bare-root
and the April date would be too late
for seedlings. However, some
homeowners plant trees grown in
containers and these are readily
available for April planting,” he
said.
Walterscheidt said agencies and
organizations that work closely with
trees in Texas have suggested that
the state celebrate an “Arbor
Season” beginning on the last Friday
of January (The old Arbor Day) and
ending on the new Arbor Dav.
