The Village Creek Cloggers
of Lumberton, ranging from
8-12 years of age, are display
ing their extraordinary talents
for entertaining senior citi-
zens. On Thursday, June 27,
they are scheduled to appear at
the S.C.A.T. meeting at the
Kountze courthouse auditorium
with their country-style tap-
ping at 3;00 p.m.
The dance team was formed
by a former Blue Bonnet dog-
ger, Martha Burke, a Lumber-
ton beautician, when she re-
ceived a request to teach one
young lady the art of clogging.
Her group now consists of an
even dozen.
As membership grew, so did
the team’s popularity. The
team has appeared at three
different intervals on the Char-
lie Pruitt Show, and recently
returned from a clogging rally
in San Antonio.
Locally, they received "best
entry” in the Lumberton Rodeo
Parade and displayed their
clogging skill at Wal-Mart on
several occasions; but their
speciality is bringing joy to
senior citizens.

RECONSTRUCTION AFTER
BREAST CANCER
By William T. Mixson, M.D.
President, The American
College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists
When a woman learns that
she has breast cancer, she may
not be able to think ahead to
life after treatment. Yet, some-
day it may be useful to know
that more and more women
who have lost one or both
breasts to cancer are choosing
to have breast reconstructive
surgery.
Also known as “reconstruc-
tive mammoplasty,” breast
reconstruction is a safe and
relatively simple procedure in
which an implant is inserted
under the skin in place of the
missing breast. The implants
consist of breast-shaped sacs
filled with either silicon gel, salt
solution, or both.
Though the new breast will
not look exactly like a natural
breast when naked, it will feel
very similar and will look nor-
mal under clothes or bathing
suits. Plastic surgeons do their
best to match the remaining
breast in size and shape, but it
may be different from your
original shape. In some cases a
new nipple can be made from
the other nipple or from dark
skin on the genital lips or upper
thigh.
How easy the reconstruction
will be will depend on the ex-
tent of your mastectomy. A
woman whose chest muscles
were not removed during the
operation usually can have the
implant inserted in less than an
hour and leave the hospital the
next day. If the mastectomy
was extensive, however, the
reconstruction may take
several operations. This may
require additional hospitaliza-
tion.
Doctor’s opinions vary as to
how long you should wait after
a mastectomy to have implants
done. Some say five years,
some two, and some say only
as long as it takes for your
mastectomy scar to heal and
soften. Also, like any surgery,
there are risks to be weighed
against the benefits. There is a
small chance of infection or
blood clots, and the body may
try to reject the implant.
Sometimes, implants need to
be replaced due to leakage.
On the whole, however,
breast implants properly done
are medically safe. Although
women may worry that the im-
plants will hide a new
cancerous growth, most doc-
tors feel that this should not be
a concern and that the im-
plants themselves do not make
you more susceptible to cancer.
Not all women want breast
reconstruction and may choose
instead breast prostheses or ar-
tifical breasts, which are made
to resemble natural breasts.
Your doctor, the local coun-
ty medical society, local
hospital, or the American
Cancer Society will probably
be able to recommend compe-
tent plastic surgeons that per-
form breast reconstruction.
Next week: Be Alert for Ec-
topic Pregnancy
valescent Home and Bur-Mont
Nursing Home have enjoyed
their performance.
Mrs. Burke said she hopes to
extend membership further.
“I will probably start a new
class in the fall,” she said, “for
all ages. If enough are interest-
ed, we will form an adult class."
The petite beautician takes
time from her professional
work to meet with the group
for practice sessions each Sun-
day afternoon at the Lumber-
ton Fire Department.

P.W. and Louise Latimer and
Mrs. Latimer’s mother, Jessie
Stringer, attended a family
reunion in Paris, Texas over
the June 8 weekend. Some 60
members and connected family
units met at the Holiday Inn for
the event.
En route, the Latimers and
Mrs. Stringer were overnight
visitors with daughter, Carole
Hanna, of Hallsville.
Foster daughter, Billie Pa-
delecki of Dallas, is spending
several days as a house guest at
the Latimer’s home in Lumber-
ton.

week.

The Woodcrest Methodist
Church will hold its Vacation
Bible School June 24-28.
Kathy Tynes, a teacher ef
the first and second grade
division and spokeswoman for
the group, said those attending
would be from three years old
up to sixth graders.
"We will have games, water
(by sprinklers) and play day
with a picnic for the partici-
pants along with the teaching of
crafts,” she said.
“Thursday night the children
will have an opportunity to
display what they have learn-
ed.”
One interesting craft to be
taught by Mrs. Tynes is the
making of imitation leather
with masking tape and brown
shoe paste that will cover the
outer surface of a vase.
More volunteers are needed
for the school. Members of the
church who are interested in
assisting in teaching, furnish1
ing supplies, or making cookies
may contact Kathy Tynes,
Becky LaBorde, or Linda Mil-
ler.
