Marine Pfe. Mark Lapex, *oa of
Santos and Reyes Lopez of Hondo,
recently completed basic training at
Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San
Diego.
Lopez successfully completed 12
weeks of training designed to chal-
lenge new Marine recruits both
physically and mentally.
Lopez and fellow recruits began
their training at 5 a.m., by running
three miles and performing calis-
thenics. In addition to the physical
conditioning program, Lopez spent
numerous hours in classroom and
field assignments which included
learning first aid, uniform regula-
tions, combat water survival, marks-
manship, hand-to-hand combat and
assorted weapons training. They
performed close order drill and
operated as a small infantry unit
F 1
■teore*
ceived instruction on the Marine
Corps core values - honor , doorage
and commitment, and what the
words mean in guiding personal and
professional conduct.
Lopez and fellow recruits ended
the training phase with The Crucible,
a 54-how team effort, problem solv-
ing evolution which culminated with
an emotioanl ceremony in which the
recruits were presented the Marine
Corps Emblem, and were addressed
as “Marine'' for the first time since
boot camp began.
Lopez joins 41,000 men and wo-
men who will enter the Marine Corps
this year from all over the country.
He is a 1987 graduate of Devine
High School.
Thank you!
I would like to sincerely thank my
friends and sponsors for helping me
attend the Mike Beaty Model & Talent
Expo in Dallas this past weekend.
It was truly a great learning experi-
ence for me.
To my loving family I would not have
been able to do any of this without
your support. Any and all success I
achieve in life I owe to all of you.
Sincerely, Eva Proctor

Beware of the friendly voice
It's time for another episode of
"Oie Savings Account to Give," the
true-life drama that illustrates the
truth of that adage, "If it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is."
Our story begins with Joe Victim,
an ordinary guy who, like many
other people, has been keeping an
eye on the rising stock market, won-
dering if he should "get in on the
action."
One night, the phone rings during
dinner. It is a Friendly Voice on the
line, full of information about invest-
ing in the market The timing is for-
tuitous, but since Joe has been con-
sidering just this type of investing, he
listens, attentively.
The Friendly Voice phones regu-
larly. During each call, it shares in-
formation about several stocks that
are "moving up dramatically." Joe is
impressed with the knowledge dis-
played. Soon, the Friendly voice and
Joe are on a first-name basis.
One day, the Friendly Voice offers
a familiar-name stock with a
"heckuva” story. Now the Voice is
not only friendly, but persuasive. Joe
Victim buys 100 shares. This modest
purchase does well, boosting Joe's
confidence in investing and in his
over-the-phone adviser.
Next, the Friendly Voice suggests
some "serious" investing and pro-
poses a purchase of 10,000shares for
$85,000. ”1 don't have that kind of
money," Joe says. The Friendly
Voice understands, and systemati-
cally reduces the suggested purchase
until Joe agrees to raise about half
that much by selling company stock
acquired through years of payroll
deductions.
When the "hot" stock immedi-
cately drops $10,000, Joe is con-
cerned, but the Friendly Voice calls
with Big news about the company
and urges Joe to buy more, now. This
opportunity can't waiL Joe agrees:
after all, the Friendly Voice is a pro,
and knows what to do, right?
The ending to this tale is as pre-
dictable as the plot of last week's
made-for-TV movie. Everybody
goes belly up, and Joe Victim, who is
now several thousand dollars lighter,
finds himself recounting his experi-
ence fora securities arbitration hear-
ing.
The most bothersome aspect of
Joe's stoy is that it didn't have to.
happen. Industry, government and
media watchdogs continually warn
people against giving money to
someone they don't know working
for a firm they've never heard of,
especially over the telephone.
Still, hundreds of these calls are
made daily, and hundreds of people
fall prey. How do the callers get our
names? Prospect lists are available
for purchase from a number of
sources. If you've ever subscribed to
a financial publication, chances are
your name is on somebody's list, and
someday you will receive a ques-
tionable call.
Of course, legitimate investment
counselors also may call. Use your
common sense to discern. Legiti-
mate brokers do not make calls offer-
ing great money-making deals to
strangers all across the country.
They do not promise quick riches.
Legitimate firms continually moni-
tor their salespeople to ensure strict
compliance with industry regula-
tions.
So when a call comes offering an
investment opportunity, ask your-
self if the claim or promise made is
realistic. If the offer doesn't ring true,
ring off. Even if the call is legitimate,
check out the salesperson and the
firm. Above all, avoid over-the-
phone investing. Arrange for a per-
sonal meeting in the firm's office.
Unfortunately, there was no happy
ending for Joe Victim, but we can
team from his mistake - and avoid
starring in a bad sequel to his story.
We would[ike to thank_everyone
in the [Hondo area for ad your support
and prayers white our daughter, Andrea was
in the hospitat.
She is now home and doing wed
and expected to fudy recover.
