The DobUn Progress
Wednesday, February II, 1M7
Mifto's IMn)I C.W. Swanner is new adminstrator
It’s the end of mother six weeks
and once again we have the pass-fail
ratio for Dublin schools.
The lower grades are showing im-
provement. For the third six weeks,
20 percent of the elementary students
have failed one or more subject.
However 56 percent of the elemen-
tary students are on the honor rolls.
Junior high has 33 percent of its
students failing one or more subjects.
Listed on the honor rolls are 27 per-
cent of the junior high students.
High school is not doing as well with
28 percent of its students failing one
or more subjects. The honors rolls in-
clude the names of 17 percent of the
high school students.
mh
Although we can look at this six
weeks in terms of last six weeks, we
won’t have a real picture of how the
students are doing until next year.
Next year we will be have the figures
available to enable us to compare six
weeks against a similar six weeks,
similar to the city sales tax
comparison.
This will be a more accurate com-
parison of grades and will be a better
assessment of whether or not
students are improving their grades,
mh
Switching to the other end of the spec-
trum, age wise, the Erath County
Committee on Aging is seeking help
in identifying every person whose
noth birthday falls between Jan. 1
and Dec. 31,1087. ,
Everyone identified will be
recognised during the National
Centenarians Day July 1 which is be-
ing organized by the National In-
stitute of Health.
If you know of anyone who will turn
100 this year, contact Helen Martin by
March 25 at the Erath County Com-
mittee on Aging at the Erath County
Court House.

Congratulations Dublin for your
outstanding contribution to the
American Heart Association. I think
those taking part in the activities had
a good time, and the American Heart
Association is worthy of our
contributions.
All of us can benefit from the
research being done by the American
Heart Association.

The St. Patrick’s Day Committee is
working very hard to line up some ex-
citing entertainment for the festival.
There are many groups that are be-
ing scheduled but one of the more
unusual is Scott Jackson of Stephen-
vilie who plays the mountain and
hammered dulcimer. Music lovers
should enjoy this entertainment since
it is such an unusual instrument and
has a long history in the United
States.
The Police Reserve has run into a
technical difficulty in getting the
bingo games for the festival, so they
have been cancelled for this year.
However, the fishing pool is still
scheduled and other organizations
are planning fun activates.
Dublin was well represented at the
public reception for U.S. Con-
gressman Charles Stenholm last
Thursday. The Congressman discuss-
ed issues foremost on the minds of his
constituents and accepted questions
from the public. He addressed such
issues as Nicaragua, congressional
pay raises and rural hospital care.
The Small Business Administration
and the Brownwood Chamber of Com-
merce are sponsoring a “Going Into
Business’’ seminar this month.
The workshop is Thursday, Feb. 26,
from 1-5 p.m. at the Adams Street
Community Center in Brownwood.
Registration fee is $25 and must be
mailed to the Brownwood Chamber
by Feb. 25. The Brownwood Chamber
address is P.O. Box 880, Brownwood,
Tx. 76804.
If you have any questions regar-
ding the seminar, you may call

965-CASH
Up to $1,000 could be awarded to the individual who has information that
could lead to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons that commit-
ted the following crime:
On Sept. 8,1986, the Buckboard Restaurant in Dublin was burglarized and
the following items taken: one Dublin National Bank bag, two or three Cisco
Bank bags and approximately $671 in cash and checks.
The burglary occurred after closing, approximately 11 p.m., and before
opening at 5:30 a m. The burglars may have entered through a rear window
which was broken out at the time of the burglary, however, the police were
not sure if that was the actual entry.
The burglar also seemed to have some knowledge of where the money was,
due to the fact that nothing else was entered but the drawer where the money
was kept. Money is longer kept in the business at night and there have been
no further burglary attempts.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 in this case as well as information on
other felony crimes that occurred in Erath County.
The following persons are not eligible for a reward: a commissioned law
enforcement officer and members of his immediate family; the perpetrator
or co-perpetrator of the crime; the victim of the crime; the fugitive.
Group looks at need for
volunteer support group
Representatives from Erath, Hood
and Somervell Counties met in Gran-
bury recently to discuss the need to
form a volunteer support group in
each county which would offer respite
care for families who have a home-
bound family member suffering from
Alzheimer’s or similar ailment.
The meeting was conducted by Don
Smith and Wilma Morgan of the Area
Agency on Aging, which would also
provide training for the volunteers.
Volunteers could be interested per-
sons who could give a few hours
respite to a fulltime family caregiver
or family members who could share
respite on a reciprocal basis with
another family.
Any family or person interested in
forming this kind of support group
should contact Jimmie Cogburn at
445-3446 or Helen Martin at 965-7303 in
Stephenville.
Persons attending the Granbury
meeting were Ruth Ackermann,
Sheila Home and Sharon Malone
from Stephenville General Hospital;
Neill Morgan and Helen Martin,
Erath County Committee on Aging;
and Jimmie Cogbum, Dublin Senior
Citizens Center.
