BOO!
Cihosts, goblins, witches and other creatures from
the realm of darkness appear one night each year to
spread fear across the land.
The night is that of October 31 more commonly
known as Halloween. The celebration of Halloween
goes back to medieval times when it was known as
All Hallows.
The sinister sides of the day were ununown then
when the celebration was connected to agriculture
and separated the two distinct growing seasons of
the Celtic calendar.
In Britain, many years ago, Hallow’een was
thought to be the most favorable opportunity for
divinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and
death. Bobbing for apples began during this time when
apples and sixpence were placed in a tub of water.
Whoever was able to extract one or the other with his
mouth without using his teeth, or in pinning one of
the apples with a fork, was destined to have a lucky
year.
Immigrants to the United States, particularly the
Irish, introduced Halloween customs that became pop-
ular in the late 19th century. The jack-o’-lantem which
had been a turnip in Scotland was quickly transfoi-
med into the familiar pumpkin type which is still
popular today.
Halloween today is mainly a time for children to
dress as their favorite creature and go from door to
door demanding ‘trick oi treat”. The treats are usually
forthcoming because no one wants a trick -- we all
know what that can mean.
So, if you are walking on Halloween night, re-
member that the creature of darkness behind you is
just a customed child. Or is it?

Highly-qualified scien-
tific spokesmen in increas-
ing numbers are express-
ing concern over the slow-
down in new drug deve-
lopment in the United
States — a slowdown they
attribute to the regulatory
policies and practices of
the federal government.
Delegates at the annual
meeting of the American
Medical Association a-
dopted a resolution calling
for the Association to
‘‘Continue to protest” reg-
ulatory activities of the
FDA (Food and Drug Ad-
ministration) that have
the effect of restricting
the use of prescription
drugs to conditions and
doses listed in approved
labeling and package in-
serts or which “threaten
to interfere with the ex-
ercise of a physician’s pro-
fessional prerogatives in
selecting the drug of
choice for a patient.”
For more than a de-
cade, the prescription drug
industry has lived in a
punitive regulatory at-
mosphere virtually with-
out precedent — an atmos-
phere rooted in the con-
sumerist’s no-risk philos-
ophy. This philosophy
threatens to paralyze pro-
gress in everything from
nuclear power to medical
care. Such an atmosphere
is particularly damaging
to the U. S. prescription
drug industry. Drug com-
panies are research orien-
ted. They represent an
industry that spends over
one half billion dollars a
year seeking break-
throughs in the discovery
of new lifesaving drugs.
Drug company research-
ers work on the frontiers
of human knowledge, and
their efforts are partic-
ularly susceptible to the
deadening effect of bur-
eaucratic rule making. It
now takes many millions
of dollars and perhaps a
decade to bring a new
drug to market. Only the
strongest companies can
carry through new drug
programs.
Inordinate regulatory
delays and marketing re-
strictions are now threat-
ening the lives and health
of millions of people for
whom drugs may not be
available when needed.
The action of the country’s
largest association of
physicians buttresses the
case for a re-evaluation of
regulatory policies gov-
erning the prescription
drug industry.
, SEEDS FROM
VTHE SOWER
W By Michael A Guido, Metter, Georg
The American economy
is not unlike a fragile
spiderweb - - sever one
key strand and the entire
structure is in danger. So
it is that the energy short-
age has triggered a crisis
in the world of petro-
chemicals, and that may
mean scarcity and rising
prices for such diverse
things as bowling balls,
plastic bags and dishes.
An industry spokesman
explains that the heavy
worldwide demand for
fossil fuels is hitting them
hard because “ so many
of their (chemical com-
panies’) products are de-
rived from petroleum-
based products, (and)
chemical manufacturers
are also faced with un-
precedented shortages and
rising costs of raw mater-
ials.”
DOMINO EFFECT
If the United States
hopes to maintain its high
standard of living, it had
better tackle the energy
crunch with a coordinated
national energy policy —
and soon. Americans have
had a taste of “the good
life,” and they wouldn’t
appreciate having it
snatched from them be-
cause of an inadequate
federal response to a
clearly-defined national
problem of energy supply.
Congressmen, take heed!
During the dark days of
the Civil War, when the pres-
ident was busy with the affairs
of state, his son was in trou-
ble. He had just lost a fight.
With his body aching, his face
bleeding, the little boy ran
into the Cabinet room and
said with tears, “1 want my
father!”
Secretary Chase was there.
Suppose he had said, “I can
get you the greatest lawyer in
Amenta.” “But I want my
father,” the boy would have
replied. Another in the
Cabinet might have said,
“Son, I can get for you the
wisest teacher in our nation.”
“But I want my father,"
would have been the cry of
the boy in trouble. And
another might have said. “I
can get you the strongest man
in the White House.” “Oh,
but I want my father,” would
still have been his cry.
Better than having a law-
yer, or a teacher, or a warrior
on his side, was having his
father on his side. And that
Georgia
was the way the Psalmist
felt.
When he put himself on
his heavenly Father’s side and
enjoyed the wealth of His
wisdom, the protection of
His power, the gilt of His
grace, he said in Psalm 118:6,
“The Lord is on my side; I
will not fear: what can man
do unto me?”
The Father is on the side
of those who are on His side.
Are you on His side?

On March ______|
of the young men of Cooper was
called and convened at the
C hamber of Commerce room,
and an organization was
perfected, designated as the
Young Men’s Business League,
according to the March 18, 1921’
issue of the Cooper Review.
"This organization will be con-
tinued looking forward to the
development of Cooper.
“This organization in its meet-
ing of Monday evening unani-
mously agreed upon a ticket that
they were willing to support in
the coming city election. This
meeting was well attended
and each man present pledged
himself to the following ticket;
“For Mayor; J. I. Mm,.i.
For Aldermen; T. EL Robert-
son, I). M. Fisher, Hollis W hile
Marion Tynes and Floyd Lain.
For City Attorney: C. C. Mc-
K inney.
For Assessor and Collector:
I. H. Hickman.
For City Treasurer: Max T.
For City Clerk; B. B. Tynes.
For City Marshall; H. F. Mor-
ris.”
The article quoted a mem-
ber as saying, “We invite and
welcome all interested in the
development of Cooper to be-
come a member of this organi-
zation. Wo do not in any man-
ner w ish to appear dictatorial in
any thing pertaining to the wel-
fare of Cooper and we purport
to be democratic in organiza-
tion and each member will have
his voice just as was done in
select mg the ticket that the
organization has submitted to
the voters of Cooper.”
Additional candidates for city
offices, as furnished The Re-
view, are;
For Mayor; W. C. Hazlewood.
For Treasurer, Jonnie Wat-
kins.
For Clerk, Mrs. Bertha Ed-
wards.
For Marshal, J. E. Hammett.
For Aldermen: S. I), (’lower,
In the same issue, Prof. J. H.
Newton reported; “On March
3rd last, Miss Susan Miles,
State High School Supervisor,
visited the Cooper High School
for the purpose of examining
and passing judgment upon the
character of work done by the
faculty.
“Miss Miles made her report
as to the Cooper schools to the
Committee on Afflillation at
Austin, a copy of which has
been received by Dr. C.C. Tay-
lor, president of the Board.
“This report was very favor-
able. She commended the work
that is being done both by the
teachers and the pupils.She re-
commended to the Committee
on Allifliation that the Cooper
High School be given three more
additional credits. If the school
gets these three additional
credits, it will be one of the few
completely accredited school in
the State.
favorable report and that was
with reference to the fact that
the high school building is not
large enough to do the work
that we are undertaking to do
and that it is not adapted to high
school work. These facts of
course are known to every one
who is at all familiar with the
conditions. She recommended
that ‘Plans be made early for
the erection of a modern high
school building.’ ”
And under the heading “Plan
To Open New Bank April First”
it was reported: “Receiver
Ralph W. Love returned first
of the week from Austin where
he had been several days help-
ing get a bill passed which
gives the Commissioners Court
authority to contract with the
proposed new bank for an ex-
tension of time for pay ing the
county’s money which had al-
ready been agreed upon. 1 he
bill was passed Friday and Mr.
Love say s will be signed by the
fore they can possibly be ready
to open the new bank.
“There is now about $.25,000
stock yet to be subscribed on
the $100,000 institution. This
is thought will be taken up by
the signers of the county surety
bond and the old stockholders,
for their own protection.
“A meeting of the signers of
the bond was held Thursday and
the stockholders will meet right
away when the stock subscript-
tion will likely be competed.
“Then will come the effort,
which w ill be no small task, at
this time, to raise the neces-
sary cash for the bank to open.
“Seven directors of the new
bank have been tentatively sel-
ected to meet the requirements
of the state banking laws. It is
understood two of these direct-
ors were directors of the old
bank and five are new ones.”
The Secretary of the Cham-
ber of Commerce in announc-
ing the Interscholastic League
call attention ofbusinessmenof
Cooper to an opportunity they
will have to get in touch with
some of the work being done in
the rural schoolsofDeitaCuun-
ty. This opportunity will come
next Friday and Saturday when
the Interscholastic League
hold its fifth annual meet.
“There will be debating, de-
c laming, spelling, running,
jumping, vaulting, hurling, tug-
ging, in fact there are sixty
events in all.
“Twenty-six loving cupsbyas
many business firms of Cooper
are to be awarded, The awards
are fine and dandy. This is not
all it will take to send these
teachers and children back to
their schools with a feeling akin
to love for Cooper. Arrange for
the edification and entertain-
ment of the visitors. Make ’em
know they arc welcome.”
In a recount of “I’roceedings
of the Commissioners Court of
Mach 17 1921” it was stated;
day came on to be con-
sidered the matter of establish-
ing a chain gang for the purpose
of utilizing convicts on the pub-
lic highways of Della County,
and after due consideration of
the matter, a proper motion
was passed to establish such
chain gang.
The edict further stated that
