MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
April 2 is an Important Dav!
A Health & Social Fair is being plan-
ned for Saturday, April 2, at the Archer
County Activity Building in Archer
City. It is being sponsored by the
Archer County Hospital and Staff and
co-sponsored by Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. We are excited about
the plans for the upcoming day. We
hope it is addressing the needs of the
residents of the county in providing in-
formation on different health, educa-
tion and social services available,
along with providing a variety of
health screenings at free to very low
cost for these services. So we hope
you will attend and participate.
There is quite a revolution going on
in health care-it is called "wellness".
Wellness is any number of strategies
¥1

for better living. Traditional health
care ends where disease leaves off. But
wellness starts with the absence of dis-
ease and continues on to various levels
of well-being. It deals with those
things like exercise, good nutrition,
stress reduction and safety awareness,
that healthy people can do to help
themselves feel better. Wellness also
deals with those things people can do
to reduce the likelihood of a major ill-
ness. The primary cause of serious ill-
ness and death in adult Americans is
cardiovascular disease. But high blood
pressure, blood cholesterol levels and
diabetes can be controlled.
We hope this Health Fair will bring
to you health screening agencies and
fellowship to help with your "well-
ness".

Force Base.

Forgotten something? Something
like a utility deposit from college? Or
a savings account opened when your
children were young but never used?
Maybe your Uncle Ned had a produc-
ing oil well or two that he never got
around to telling anyone about.
The Texas State Treasury can help
you find lost accounts such as these
and more. On Sunday, March 6, news-
papers across Texas will publish a list
of 75,000 Texans who have more than
$60 million in lost or forgotten mon-
ey in accounts ranging from checking
and savings accounts to oil royalties
and corporate stocks.
"This is a service we provide for the
people of Texas," State Treasurer Ann
Richards said. "Money turned over to
the State Treasury can be claimed at
anytime in the future by the original
owner or his or her heirs."
Persons who find their name on the
list may reclaim their property by call-
ing the State Treasury, toll free at 1-
800-321-2274 or by writing to the
State Treasury at P.O. Box 12608,
Capitol Station, Austin, Texas 78711.
"There is no set time limit for mak-
ing a claim," Treasurer Richards em-
phasized. "Please be patient if you are
calling on the toll-free number, espe-
cially in the first few weeks after
March 6 when the telephone lines are
kept busy. You can be assured that if
you have money coming to you, you
will get it."
She said that last year, the State
Treasury published a similar list and
about $50 million was reunited with
owners.
The Unclaimed Money Fund list was
first published when Treasurer Rich-
ards took office in 1983. Since that
time, the State Treasury has returned
84 percent of all the money ever re-
turned since the law took effect 26
years ago.
Under her administration, the State
Treasury has also substantially in-
creased efforts to collect dormant ac-
counts. Total collections since 1983
equal $162.2 million, or 79 percent of
all unclaimed funds ever collected by
the state of Texas.
"The amount of money that we col-
lect is important," the treasurer said.
"Because, in the past, accounts which
were not turned over to the Treasury
for safekeeping were often lost. Now,
at least, the accounts are protected at
no charge by the Treasury."
The list is being published statewide
in 16 newspapers and is the largest
such list printed in the United States.
It also is available at public libraries
and county offices. In addition, many
newspapers publish local names as a
public service to their readers.
■ Under state law, checking and sav-
ings accounts, mineral royalties, insur-
ance payments, safe deposit boxes,
utility deposits and the like are turned
over to the state if accounts are inac-
tive for at least three years.
The state may use the funds for gen-
eral state services and for education,
but the owners or their heirs may file
a claim at any time in the future for
the money held by the state.
Local residents whose names appear
on the list include: Archer ritv-
Archer County Hospital, C.G. Camp-
bell, Emma Davis, Edna E. Hudgens,
Paul Parkey; Hollidav-J.G Laven-
der, Callie Wilmut Smith; Olnev-
Esth Arias, Stella M. Barfield, Earl

Homeowners still have time to spray
yards (bermuda) for control of winter
weeds.
Glyphosate or a non-selective contact
herbicide can be used until grasses start
spring growth. This will help yards
by getting rid of competition for plant
nutrients.
