If a sponsor pfedges $1 per lap
completed, he will make a cont-
ribution of $30 if the swimmer
completes 30 laps. The aim is to
get as many sponsors to sign up
before the event as possible,
Marion said, urging swimmers to
3ign up soon.

in the fight against cancer.
Other members of the Swim
For Life Committee include Grace
Childers, and Elizabeth and
Newman Powers.
“The Swim For Life is such an
appropriate event to raise funds
for the American Cancer Society,
since it emphasizes fitness as
well as breathing. We all realize
that part of the society’s work is
to combat cigarette smoking, the
major cause of lung cancer,”
Marion said.
“Of course the American Can-
cer Society is involved in many,
many activities to assist cancer
patients, as well as in education
to the public and health profes-
sionals regarding cancer treat-
ment, early detection and preven-
tion.
Today almost 50 percent of all
cancer patients will survive and
the odds get better every day as
American Cancer Society funded
research continues to make
strides toward new treatments
and cures,” she continued.
Marion explained that
American Cancer Society pro-
grams are administered by volun-
teers in the community and
therein lies the strength of the
Society — community members
helping other community mem-
bers.
All fundraising efforts, including
special events such as the Swim
For Life, are conducted by volun-
teers, she said.
To sign up for the Swim For
Life, call 592-3564. For more in-
formation regarding the American
Cancer Society call 1-800-ACS-

Keenan and Jennifer Partain proudly show off their new

Larry Berry.
CLEVELAND — Dale W. Rich-
ards, owner of Richards Ranch,
and Louis Purkerson, owner of
Purkerson Farms, recently have
had their cattle certified brucel-
losis-free by the Texas Animal
Health Commission (TAHC):
Brucellosis, an incurable bacterial
disease often called “Bang’s,” is.
highly contagious among cows
during pregnancy and calving,
and can cause losses due to
abortions or weak calves.
Richards raises crossbred
cattle, and Purkerson raises
Brahman cattle. These herds are
two of the 2,126 certified brucel-
losis-free in Texas.
Producers with certified herds
have the advantage of shipping or
selling cattle with fewer restric-
tions. Also, certified cows sold as
breeding stock may command a
higher price.
To have a herd certified, a pro-
ducer enters into an agreement
with the TAHC and has the herd’s
blood tested to ensure none of
the animals are infected with
brucellosis. If follow-up tests 10 to
14 months later also show no
evidence of the disease, the herd
is certified jointly by the TAHC
and the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture
(USDA). To remain certified, the
herd must be tested yearly and
be free of brucellosis.
The TAHC and producers are
working to eliminate brucellosis
infection through a program that
includes testing at ranches and
livestock markets, removing infec-
ted cows, quarantining exposed
herds, practicing management
techniques to prevent spreaij|fcf
disease, and vaccinating calves.'
In March, Texas hit a record low
number of infected herds, with-
560 herds under quarantine.
That’s down from April 1981,
when 2,384 herds were quaran-
tined. Dramatic progress has
been made in the past year; ifi
April ’89, there were 854 herds*
infected; in September ’89, 690
infected herds.
Texas and five other southern
states—Arkansas, Mississippi,
Oklahoma, Florida and
Louisiana—still are the most
highly infected states. Twenty-
eight states have no known
brucellosis infection, and 1*8
states have a very low infection
rate.
Birthday
Jessica Haltom celebrated
her third birthday April 14
with family and friends.
Parents are Dale and Deb-
bie Haltom and brother
Joseph Jr.

BEAR CREEK NEWS
By DON MORRIS
Bear Creek News
BEAR CREEK — Gary and
Earl Wright of Bear Creek have
both joined the Marines. If anyone
ever made good Marines, I’d bet
that Gary and Earl do. These
young men are sons of Bob and
Leah Wright of Bear Creek.
My nephew, Clinton Also-
brooks, has been transferred to El
Paso from New York by the way
of San Antonio. I know he is glad
to still be in Texas but mileage
wise he is still along way from
home.
The Bear Creek Volunteer Fire
Department is having a barbecue
May 19. It will be from 11 a.m. to
3 or 4 p.m. We operate on
donations and your tax money but
the tax money is split between all
of the fire departments in the
county and also the EMS service
too.
As you know this is a very poor
county tax wise and the amount
each one gets is small. Just about
all of the money at the fire depart-
ment received went for equipment
payments or insurance, which is
around $3,660 a year.
Please come and support the
fire department May 19. If you
need tickets you can call me at
592-4052 or the fire station at
592-4439 and I will deliver them
to you.
The last remaining member of
my mother’s family recently died
and going to the funeral was like
going to my mother’s funeral
again. Those two ladies looked so
much alike that it was unbelieva-
ble. Her name was Emma Hebert
and they had a home on the Cal-
casieu River between Lake Char-
les and Kinder, La.
It was called Magnolia Bend
and it was one of the fondest
memories of my childhood. They
had a store on the bank of the
river in a big bend of the rivd&)
They have since sold the prope^'
but the Hebert family has retained ,
the right to go there at anytime.
My aunt Emma was one of the,
most gracious ladies I have ever*
had the pleasure of meeting.
One of the great joys I get out
of life is helping folks in trouble
and one small way I get to js
working on the ambulance when
I’m needed. If you ever need an
ambulance or fire truck and yon
live in Precinct 3, you can Jp!
592-4439 or 592-2772 or call the
sheriff’s department at 409-653-
4367. If you know one of the
firemen you can call any of jts
and get help but please stay>®if
the line and give good directions.
It is very important.
Another thing, if anyone tries to
run down any volunteer group,
fire departments or otherwise, just
tell them at lest those people are
out trying to do their part.
