to Marfa with stories about
Glenn Madrid, County Commissioners Court meeting, Ricardo
Sotelo*s resignation, {Catherine

chairman, Jan Bunsen, Century
Culture Club meeting and some
classifieds. Clinton visits a small
town in the US. each week throught the pages of the town's
newspaper in an effort to tell
Alaskans about what is happening "Down JHome". We wondered here at the Sentinel why

Now we know..
•ATB- _

We need your help! Continental Trailways Bus Line is attemptin g to establish a new
schedule which will tremendously

The United States F o o d

D A ) has recently Issued
warninp to cancer patients
and their families:
1. Laetrile is Worthteee.
Whether sold as a drug
(amygdalin) or as a "vitam i n " (B-17), U e t r i l e is
worthless in the prevention,
treatment or cure of cancer.
The substance has no therapeutic or nutritional value.
2. Laetrile i$ Dangeroue.
Laetrile can be fatal for
cancer patients who delay
or give up regular medical
treatment and take Laetrile
instead.
Laetrile contains cyanide
and can 6ause poisoning arid
death
when
taken
by
mouth. One infant is known
dead of cyanide poisoning
after swallowing fewer than
five Laetrile tablets. A t least
16 other deaths from ingestion of Laetrile ingredients (apricot and similar
fruit pits) have been documented.
Laetrile is especially hazardous if the injection form
is taken by mouth. This can
cause sudden death.
3. Laetrile May Be Contaminated. Laetrile is not
routinely subjected to FDA^
inspection for quality and
purity as are all other drugs.
Analysis has shown some
Laetrile to contain toxic
contaminants. Ampules o f
Laetrile for injection have
been found with mold and
other adulterants which can
be dangerous when injected.
LYOUR
DOCTOR
is the
best person to see if
y o u suspect you're ill.
The F D A suggests that
those who persist in the use
of Laetrile or its ingredients
should be prepared to deal
promptly with acute cyanide poisoning i f the oral
product is used. Vigorous
medical treatment must be
started
immediately
or
death can result. The F D A
also urges these patients to
watch for early symptoms
of chronic cyanide poisoning, including weakness in
arms and legs and disorders
of the nervous system. A n d
they should keep the drug
put of reach of children.
If you know of someone
who suspects he has cancer,
his best course is to see his
doctor immediately. A c cording to the American
Cancer
Society,
with
prompt and proper treat-
ment, half of cancer's victims can besaved.

Girl Scouting is learning,
sharing, helping doing, and
servtyg. They don't make much
noise about it but they really
get things done. The noise they
do make is laughter; the joy of
being young and learning and
growing. Girl Scouting is BELONGING.
'
i
f
In an age when the values of
many of our American institutions are being questioned, it's
reassuring to know that Girl
Scouts of the USA. endures
and flourishes.
The character of an organization, like that of a community,
is expressed ki the individuals
who compose it. Perhaps it is
noteworthy that the young people and adults who make up
Girl Scouting^ subscribe to a
PROMISE AND LAW that contains the phrases: I will try, and
I will do my best.

Making Marriages Better
By Michael A. Guide Matter, Georgia
For many months a telephone operator got a call
every morning from a man
who asked, "What time is i t ? " .
One morning she asked,
"Who are you? What do y o u
do? Why do you call me
every morning?"
* T m the n u n * ho blows
the whistie at the factory."*
he uJiswer.d. *1 want to blow
th»* v. rustV at the right time.
H u t ' s why 1 call y o u / *
"That's tunny," exclaimed
the girl. "I set my clock by
vour whistle."
^
That is what we are doing setting our standards by each
other. A n d that is why we
are being led away from the
Lord and His Word.
The Living Bible says in
2 T i m o t h y 3:15 through 17,
" Y o u know how, when y o u
were a small child, y o u were
taught the Holy Scriptures;
and it is these that make y c u
wise tc .ceept God's salvation
by trusting in Christ Jesus.
The whole Bible was given
to us by inspiration from
G o d and is .useful to teach
us what is true and to make
us realize what is wrong in
our lives; it straightens us out
and helps us do*what is right.
It is God's way of making us
well prepared at every goint,
fully equipped to do good to
everyone."

AFTER 59 YEARS
Any organization that helps
hundreds of thousands o f persons annually and has been relying on public contributions for
most of its support for 59 y$ars
must be doing something right.
That organization is the Easter Seal Society, the world's
oldest and largest voluntary
agency serving disabled persons
through its nationwide network
of facilities and programs.
The Easter Seal people are
now in the midst o f their annual campaign to raise funds that
provide rehabilitative services
for handicapped men, women
and children everywhere. We
think it's a cause that's well
worth your consideration.
t h e handicapped of our nation-an estimated 35 million
persons-owe a great deal t o the
efforts o f thousands of Easter
Seal volunteers who have consistently pushed for equal rights
and opportunities regardless of
a person's physcial disabilities.
A l l of the problems are, by no
means iolved. B u i in recent
years there has been a marked
improvement in t h V e n v i r o n ment with which handicapped
individuals must cope in achievinc the rights taken for granted
by the majority of Americans.
taster Seals, widely recognized as the organization that
pioneered in identifying needs
of physically handicapped persons and in providing rehabilitation services, has been an important factor in changing the
climate ami increasing public
awareness so that meaningful
legislation is now being implemented.
Volunteers who work in the
campaign hope you will continue to support their work
with your contributions during
the year's taster Seal campaign,

WTCC OPPOSES CHANGES FOR RIO GRANDE
The West Texas Chamber o f
Commerce has again voiced
strong opposition to the designation o f a 191.2 mile portion
of the Rio Grande River as part
of the WUd and Scenic River
System.
Consideration is currently
being given by the House Subcommittee on National Parks
and Recreation to include a
section oif the R i o Grande
from just upstream o f Mariscal
Canyon i n Big Bend National
Park to the Terrell-Val Verde
county line as part of the Wild
and Scenic River System. This
action would place the United
States side o f the river under
the authority and management
of the National Park Service.
According to Bob Corkins,
Chairman o f the WTCC Tourist
and Travel Development Committee, the committee has taken
an active interest in the issue
since it was first prooosed i n
1973. "Some provisions o f the
Wild and Scenic River Act could
limit access to the river by certain segments of the public,and
any future development in the
M A R F A , T E X A S
area would be ruled out as a
practical matter , noted Corkins. The WTCC contends that
the overriding issue is that the
landowners involved and residents o f West Texas will be
forever barred from making any
future decisions regarding the
area involved.
Opposition to the proposed
designation o f the river is being
conveyed tp West Texas Cong*
ressmen and members of the
House Subcommittee on National Parks and Recreation b y
the WTCC members, based
on opposition expressed by the
affected landowners, business*
men in the area, chambers o f
commerce throughout West
Texas, tourism, industry merchants, and individuals concerned with the future develop*
ment of the Big Bend area.

STUDENTS CONDUCT AREA HISTORY FAIR
The second of four scheduled
classes from Marfa High School
spent Friday, March 3, at Fort
Davis National Historic Site par*
ticipating in an historically oriented environmental education
program.
Rather than just hearing about history, these twenty-six
'• students participated in activities that w?re common in the
everyday life of men and women
- at a frontier fort i n the 1880's.
Adobe was used to make
many of the buildings at Fort
Davis and, on this day when the
temperature was as low as 35
degrees, the students learned
how to make these mud bricks.
When the call came, a cavalryman had to be able to pack a
saddle in the military way with
all the necessities needed for tip

to two weeks in the field. Boys
and girls alike found out that
there was a right way to pack a
saddle by doing it for themselves. A n d they found that getting into the saddle was not as
easy as it looked becasue o f all
the equipment.
In the days when the Fort
was active, officers hired both
women and enlisted men as servants. These "maids" did a|l
of the unpleasant chores necessary to keen the officer*s family healthy and hapny. Participating students cooked stews,
ironed clothes with a /solid*,
iron, baked pastries, made soap;
and scrubbed clothes on a scrub

Budget Cuts, Higher Taxes?
WASHINGTON—Promising a balanced budget within
four years is one thing. Making good on the promise will
require that government shift to policies that really can
accomplish the goal.
Promises matched by performance, unfortunately* have
been all too infrequent occurrences in Washington lately.
Certainly, living within national spending limits is the
best way to roll back inflation and help stimulate productivity that creates jobs. But balancing the national checkbook is easier said than done, and particularly hard ta
justify if spending reductions are offset many times over
by programs actually costing the taxpayer more.
The Administration's plan for this year is just such a
budget contradiction, and taxpayers may begin wondering
if reform is such a good idea after all when they sec what
the effects of continuing inflation in addition to new taxes
will mean in reduced take home pay.
The arithmetic paints a discouraging picture. For a
family of foiir with one wage earner in the $20,0()0 income bracket, the loss in real income will amount to $91
in 1982, even though there will have been a tax cut of
$300. About $297 will he tost to inflation, and $94 will
be kicked in because of new social security taxes.
For a family In the $30,000 income range, the bite will
come much sooner: the loss in purchasing power will
amount to $224 in 1980, then jump to $671 by 1981.
In the $40,000 income bracket, the social security tax
bite alone will increase by 45 per cent in 1979, then skyrocket 216 per cent by 1987. In other words, I hat $965
maximum social security tax paid last .year will increase
to $1,070 this year, jump to $1,404 in 1979. then to $3.046 in 1987.
Not only will such tax increases dampen individual
purchasing, but business will find little incentive to increase
outlays for new plant and equipment in the face of costs
that continually leapfrog upward. Those companies that
do expand will pass increased costs on to consumers.
Social security taxes for businesses will tack on $6.5
billion to payroll costs this year alone and multiply in the
millions thereafter when the new law becomes fully effective. Employers will be paying more for labor as a result
of new minimum wages passed by Congress and unemployment insurance this year will top $3 billion. These
cov'« will be passed along to the consumer as well.
All tn all. the promises of balanced budgets -and tax
reduction don't add up to black ink on the ledger, or to
reduced inflation. What they add up to for the taxpayer is
the same old tune with only slightly varied lyrics.

Ford has created a lineup of Better Ideas big enough to give every

cars, luxury cars, high mileage cars, roomy vans and wagons. From
Ford Fairmont, the best-selling new car nameplate ever introduced
in America (for the first four months Oct. 1977 thru Jan. 1978)... to
Ford Fiesta, which in its first twelve months (Sept. 1976 thru Aug. 1977)
b e c a m e Europe's best-selling new car nameplate in history... to Ford
Trucks, the best-selling truck line in U.S. history based on 1977
calendar year retail deliveries. So stop in at your local Ford Dealer
and find the better idea that's just right for you.
More about m i l e a g e ratings. All ratings quoted are based on EPA estimates. Your actual mileage may
vary depending on your vehicle's condition, optional equipment and how and where you drive

"Futura. Aperfect name for it:
The Fairmonts.
Ford Fairmont has b e c o m e the best-selling new car nameplate ever
introduced in America (for the first four months Oct. 1977 thru Jan. 1978).
Here's why. Fairmont has the highest mileage rating of any mid-size
c a r . . . the most room for the money of any car... and the lowest sticker
price of any mid-size car, based on comparison of U.S. Government's
EPA index a n d sticker prices. Could it b e the car in your family's future?

"MDU might buy it for
mileage... I bought
it for the sporty lines:
Fairmont ES option in
SHver Metallic with Chamois a
Black Corinthian vinyl bucket seats
It has 84% of the cargo
room of full-size wagons:
"That's more than
enough for us
"Plenty of roomfa

.or four... or five."

The Pintos.
Since Ford Pinto's introduction there have been more Pintos sold than
any other subcompact in America. The reasons for Pintos success
include... sporty styling, g o o d gas mileage ratings and a low sticker
price. Now Pinto has more standard features than ever offered before
Pinto is a great little idea that just keeps getting better and better.
