Courage, faith retained in face of adversity
He was u big man with a quiet demeanor that proved a bit intimidating
to me as a child, but children arc intimidated by many different things.
His forthright dealings in life and business ranked hint highly as a
respected man that few can measure up to.
Dean Pair, an Ernlh County resident his entire life, died last week leav-
ing a void in the lives of his family, friends and acquaintances.
As in most areas of his life, his family was greatly involved in the
nursery business his father established. His wife, Net; son, Terry; and
daughter, Tenia worked with Dean in the* operation of Pair Nursery
ow ned by the Pairs until its sale to Sid Miller several years ago.
Pair continued in the Nursery business, selling wholesale stock from
greenhouses located near his home between Dublin and Stephenville.
My first acquaintance with Dean was through his daughter, Tenia.

Everyday Musings
By SONJA BURCH
News Editor
Tenia and I met in junior high and were on speaking terms in high
school but I didn’t really get to know her until we both married men from
Desdemona.
As the years passed, she and I became close friends, a relationship that
I cherish to this day.
As we grew closer, her parents influence in her life touched on mine
and created a bond between me and her parents as well.
I feel helpless in the face of their grid but heartened that he passed on
his inner strengths to his loved ones.
Pair, a member of the Green’s Creek Baptist Church, was strong in his
faith and throughout his battle with the cancer that eventually took his
life, his courage and faith never weakened under the onslaught.
He will be missed by many but his legacy of courage and strength will
live on through his children and grandchildren.
Library worth
checking out
As parents assume the task of providing their children
challenging and worthwhile summer activity they ought to
consider the library.
Reading is indeed the very foundation of education. It’s so
basic and vital that there should be no vacation from it not
even a summer vacation. It may be too strong to say that
parents have an obligation to their kids to get them to the It
brary, but it would certainly be commendable of them to en
courage a bi-weekly trip to the local library.
With summer sports, summer vacation, summer Bible
School programs, summer swimming lessons, it’s easy for a
summer reading program to get lost in the shuffle.
Summer readin programs sponsored by the local library
also serve as viable and constructive outlets for the “I’m
bored” syndrome faced by many parents as their children
look for ways to fill the summer hours.
We encourage parents to encourage their kids to use the li-
brary. A summer reading program can be the most useful and
economical fun you can provide for you school age child this

Cereal not just
cereal anymore
It would take the aid of a cal-
culator to figure the percentage of
children consuming each cereal
on the shelves of stores today. To
the manufacturer, cereal must be
the wave of the future.
Twenty years ago, cereal was
cereal. The choice of brand and
texture was must less varied than
today. Though Post Toasties are
not a thing of the past, in the eyes
of a child, they are less than ap-
petizing. When my generation
was younger, Rice Crispies were
appealing because of the cartoon
characters in the television com-
mercials and they talked “snap-
crackle-pop” to you. They still do,
but the box didn’t have to have a
celebrity on it.
Take todays kids, for instance.
If the box doesn’t contain a glow
in the dark “thing-a-ma-jig” or a
working helicopter, they walk on
by.
Cereal makers, now play their
part, in the intricate cornering of
the market using well known
products names l'ke Barbie and
Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels is a mix-
ture of wheel shaped com cereal
and colored car shaped marshmal-
lows. These marshmallows aren’t
those fit for roasting, they are like
metal tasting rocks. Barbie has
over-citrus flavored multi-colored
bows, and when wet with milk,
are very sticky. A baby sitters
delight. ^
All the rage now, is the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Toy makers are in heaven and
children utter words of the
“Hero’s in a Half-Shell” for hours
on end. From water bottles to t-
shirts, tennis shoes to bed sheets,
every child near and far must be
readily equipped with these little
green mutants. And a child isn’t
“in” without his at her own li-
brary of turtle videos. The cereal
maker has done it again, Turtle
cereal is on the shelves. And
though it more than likely tastes
of turtle food, every child in
America won’t rest until they to
have consumed their fair share of
the tasty morsels.
Take pity on the supermarket
owner, the shelves of every store
from the west coast to the east is
covered with a multitude of dif-
ferent boxes, just waiting to
bought up by unsuspecting
parents. What a profil..but also,
who wants to build-on to accom-
modate.
Cereal is still, just cereal, but
don’t tell the children that. They
are liable to laugh in your face.
What tasty cereal will we dis-
cover next...Richy Rich? If every
box contained a $100 dollar bill,
bet we would go for that.

Tourism is needed in Dublin.
We need to show folks just what
Dublin has to offer. We need your
input. We have some places to
see; however, we need someone to
direct, show and tell about them.
A couple of places are the muse-
um and Grist Mill Park. These
need to be opened, so folks can
see them. Some folks need to step
out and help. If you want to help,
call the Chamber office, as we
need grass-root ideas and help.
Folks, please keep on shopping
Dublin. We have the best Mer-
chants any place.
FACTS: In the body, a pound of
butter creates three times as much

Social Security is a system that

Folks repeat gossip - what else

It sure is great to live in a free
country where a man can do as his
wife pleases.
