'East Texas
Folk Songs’
Topic Of Talk
Dr. William A. Owens will
speak about “East Texas Folk
Songs” at 7:80 p.m. at the
American National Bank audi-
torium on May 14. He is the
third lecturer sponsored by the
Beaumont Heritage Society
who will talk about the music
that the various ethnic group*
brought with them to Texas in
the early days of the frontier.
Dr. Owens is the author of
several books on folk songs of
East Texas and he has often
visited in this area.
Born in Blossom, Texas, Dr.
Owens received Ids B.A. and
M.A. degrees from Southern
Methodist University and his
Ph.D. from Iowa State Univer-
sity. He taught English in
Texas' public schools before
joining the faculty at A.&.M.
University where he taught for
10 years. In 1947 he began
teaching English at Columbia
University and since 1974 has
been Dean Emeritus of English
there. He is a member of the
Texas Folklore Society, the
Institute of Letter and Phi Beta
Kappa.
A prolific writer about life in
East Texas, Dr. Owens will
share with his audience his vast
knowledge of folklore which
reveals life here in the early
days when East Texas was first
settled.
The public has been invited
to hear Dr. Owens and there is
no charge.
Fire Damages
Dixie Queen
A fire which started in the
char-brioler at noon Saturday
did extensive damage to the
Dixie Queen Restaurant on
Highway 827 East.
Assistant Fire Chief Billy
Slaydon credited efforts of
employees and “Pete” Landolt
with possibly saving the busi-
ness from total destruction.
Three or more fire extinguish-
ers were used to keep the blaze
down until firemen arrived on
the scene.
Fire Chief John Price, owner
of the business, said Saturday
that the Dixie Queen would be
back in operation within two
weeks.
Slaydon said fire destroyed
the kitchen equipment and did
extensive damage in the area
behind the counter. The dining
room suffered extensive smoke
damage. No figure was placed
on the cost of repairing damage
caused by the blaze.

Emergency Phone Numbers Are
Helpful To Baby Sitters
Baby-sitting is a job with a
lot of responsibility, and the
Texas Medical Association has
urged parents to take steps to
help the baby sitter face any
problem.
Medical emergencies may be
physically threatening but they
pose little problem for the baby
sitter seeking treatment for a
child since the law says a
physician can give treatment
without parental consent if
there is an emergency. To help
the sitter know what to do in an
emergency, the parent should
provide a list of emergency
phone numbers and a note
saying where a parent can be
contacted.
If a child needs medical
treatment that is not an emer-
gency, a doctor must have
permission before treating
children under 18 in most cases.
If a parent or guardian is not
available, an adult brother,
sister, aunt or uncle, or a
grandparent can give written
consent. Or a parent or guard-
ian can give written permission
to an adult or school to permit
non-emergency treatment.
If parents plan to be out of
town or unavailable for awhile,
they may want to leave a note

non-emergency treatment. The
note could read “I hereby
authorize (fill in the name of an
adult who can be responsible
for the children) to act as my
agent in consenting to medical
treatment needed by my child-
ren (list the children's names)
during my absence.” A parent
should sign and date the note.
Other instructions also are
important for the baby sitter. A
permanent fact sheet should
have emergency phone num-
bers, including doctor, fire
department, police, relatives,
utility companies and others.
The sheet also should note
location of first aid supplies for
very minor problems.
The other fact sheet should
tell where parents will be and
for how long and a phone
number where they can be
contacted. It also should have
instructions on meals and
snacks, sleep, bathing, deliver-
ies and calls expected, medica-
tion to be given, the child’s
current medical problems and
other facts.

Local Doctor Retains
Membership In AAFP
KANSAS CITOY, MO.-Dr.
Rajaram M. Patil has complet-
ed continuing education re-
quirements to retain active
membership in the American
Academy of Family Physicians,
the national association of fami-
ly doctors. The Academy form-
erly was called the American
Academy of General Practice.
The requirements call for
members to complete a mini-
mum of 160 hours of accredited
continuing medical study every
three years. Members become
eligible for re-election at the
end of the third year following
their election to membership.
The Academy, the country's
second largest national medical
association, was the first na-
tional medical group to require
members to keep up with
medical progress through con-
tinuing education.
The Academy, founded in
1947 and headquartered in
Kansas City, Mo., was instru-
mental in the establishment of a
new primary specialty in family
practice in 1969. The new
specialty is expected to in-
crease the numbers of family
physicians available to serve
the public in the future. The
Academy’s continuing educa-
tion program is the foundation
of eligibility for family doctors
now in practice who apply for
certification in the new special-
ity.
