Peach, Melon Festival begins Monday
Most of us have a mental picture of
what it takes to be strong, but
sometimes that picture has new
dimensions added to it by what we
experience.
I've recently gained insight into
what makes up real strength by what
one of my sheep has be&Mhrough.
mb %
A month ago 1 figured it was just a
matter of days until she died.
You see, Priscilla, the ewe, has
always been sickly. She was trail as a
newborn and it seems like she has
always had a runny nose. (Not a
healthy sign in sheep. I
When she had a healthy, big ram-
type lamb this spring, I began to teel
she had gained strength and would be
all right.
Or at least I thought that until we
had the flock sheared.
mh
Hidden beneath a full fleece, that
poor ewe had gotten down to almost
skin and bones. Within a few days she
began walking with a limp and had a
terribly swollen udder.
Poor ole thing!
Pnscilla made me feel terrible just
to look at her. I had felt like my father
and I were taking good care of my
small flock of sheep, but here was
barely living, barely walking proof
that we were not.
mh
We checked with the vet and, on his
recommendation, gave her penicillin,
iron, worm medicine and extra ra-
tions. Unlike a normal healthy sheep,
she stood there and took it.
Within a relatively short time, she
began to protest and when it got to
where we had trouble holding her
down for her iron, we decided she
must be getting well.
mh
For some reason, neither one of us
really checked out that swollen ud-
der We looked at it, but not closely.
Now we know that Priscilla, whom
we always thought of as frail, was bit-
ten on the udder by a snake probably
a copperhead She managed to pull
through on some inner strength only
she knew about. (Of course the extra
iron, penicillin, and extra rations
didn’t hurt either. >
mh
Right now Priscilla is skinny
enough her bones are prominent and
she looks pitiful because half her wool
has fallen out. However, she is filling
out. her ears and eyes show she is
alert and she comes running to meet
me when I walk into the field.
In fact, except for the lack of wool
and the bones. Priscilla looks
healthier than I remember her
looking
mb
She doesn't look as strong as the
rest of the flock, but now 1 know she
is She has proven a strength I never
dreamed she possessed.
Priscilla doesn't bully her way
around, like some of the other sheep,
but she stands her ground.
Most importantly, step by step,
Priscilla has proven she could live
through a trauma which might have
stopped another, perhaps stronger',
sheep
mh
During a month's fight for her life,
this frail sheep has pointed out that
true strength is the ability to face the
trials of life and live through them
DeLeon's 72 annual Peach and
Melon Festival will be held Aug. 4

Letter to the editor
Dear Editor.
I am writing in response to the arti-
cle about the half-day kindergarten
decision. 1 do not feel that this deci-
sion should be left up to David l-ocke
or to people who don't have children
entering into kindergarten. This deci-
sion should be left up to the parents.

I don't feel that Mr. Locke was fair
in stating that sending children to
school for full-day kindergarten is a
"form of abuse” and “that parents
should take care of their own
children.” This isn’t an issue about
education any more, it’s all about
babysitting.
Kindergarten children do not have
homework until 8 p.m. either. I have
had two of my three children in
kindergarten and the only homework
required of them was 30 minutes a
day at the most. I love my children
and I only want what is best for them
I feel that school is getting harder
every year. Children need a head
start to be able to learn all that is ex-
pected of them
Thank you
