Five Great Tragedies
A man struck a match to see if a
gasoline tank was empty. It wasn't.
A man speeded up to see if he
could beat the train to the crossing.
He couldn't.
Another petted a strange dog to
see if it would bite. It did!
Another touched a transmission
wire to see if it was charged. It was!
Finally, a man cut his Sunday
School and Worship services to see
if he could make more money. He
did...and lost his soul and his
family!
Friends, you are the loser when
you miss corporate, regular Wor-
ship. A man is just too busy when
he's too busy to worship the Lord!
Have a great weekl

Jerry Rogers was elected
president of the Wells ISD board of
trustees when the group met in
regular session last Thursday.
After canvassing the votes, the
oath of office was read by Dalford
Stewart, Justice of the Peace.
Sworn in with Rogers were
Trustees Charles Hamilton and
Ricky Williamson.
Other officers elected were
Richard Hartless, vice-president
and Roy Burroughs, secretary.
Students of the month were
recognized. They are Hope Corn,
elementary and Anthony Cottrell,
high school.
Concerning construction projects
at the school, the plumbing was ex-
pected to be completed soon at the
new addition to the high school, and
architect Don Legg was contacting
the brick layer who did the elemen-
tary exterior, about leaks in the
rear wall.
The board voted unanimously to
accept the long range plan for the
gifted and talented program, voted
to hire the firm of Smith-Bertell to
do the annual audit, voted to accept
the 1989-90 TECS contractual
agreement for Chapter I and Chap-
ter II consultative services.
Roy Burroughs was elected
delegate to the 1989 Annual Texas
Association of School Boards con-
vention and Ricky Williamson was
elected alternate.
Extensions will be sought concer-
ning treating wood paneling in the
elementary building with a flame
retardant and in placing a fire ex-
tinguishing system in the cafeteria
kitchen.
Following an executive session,
Angela Lenderman was hired to
teach homemaking and Dixie

John Padgett was re-elected as
president of the board with Martin
Potts chosen as vice-president and
Sherman Ezell as secretary.
The Maydelle board will meet
again on May 22 to discuss hiring of
a school attorney. The board
authorized the president to make
inquiries concerning recommen-
dations of an attorney, who
specializes in school law.
Permission was granted to the
Maydelle Volunteer Fire Depar-
tment to use the school gym for a
Volleyball tournament.
Board member Harold Gilmore,
who had not attended the Friday
meeting questioned why transfer of
students had not been discussed
with neighboring school districts
and why the board «was only
discussing annexation with Rusk.
Brandenburg said Jacksonville had
shown no interest in taking the
students and Rusk had said they
would be willing to accept the
district.
Hansel Pearce, a Maydelle
teacher, said the board would be
liable to pay his and other teachers
salaries in the event the district did
not operate in the 1989-90 school
year.
An executive meeting earlier
Monday afternoon to discuss hiring
a superintendent was cancelled.

HOW TO GET
THE MOST OCT OF
YOURFREEZER
L
Don't buy a bigger unit than you
need. One cubic foot will hold 35-40
pounds of meat or 40 pint cartons.
5.
Put the same types of food in the
same section of the freezer so they
will be easier to locate.
2 Buy a model with a light that warns
of a blown fuse or power failure. If
• the power goes off, avoid opening
the door as much as possible.
3 A few pieces of charcoal in the
freezer will absorb unpleasant
• odors and keep the interior smell-
ing sweet and fresh.
6 Several vegetables such as lettuce,
celery, cucumbers, carrots and
• tomatoes lose crispness when
frozen. Unless these are to be cooked, it's
best not to freeze them.
Freeze foods in small packages
because the smaller they are the
§ faster they will freeze and thaw.
4.
Use freezer to capacity. A well-filled
unit operates more efficiently. Pill
milk cartons with water to take up
space not needed for vegetables or meat.

last year. Year total is $3,811.49
compared to $2,737.47 for the same
time last year.
Rusk received $19,722.21, slightly
less than the $19,886.65 received last
year. Total thus far this year is

for the same time last year.
Wells received $2,178.29, com-
pared to $1,668.10 for the same time
last year. Total for the year thus far
