in the race car business, for ten
years which was a definite asset to
Racefab when they went into busi-
ness in Houston nine years ago.
Their reputation will continue to
follow them.
Their boys, Jason and Jefferson,
love the business and each has his
responsibility. They have worked
along side their dad since they
were little boys. Both are capable
when it comes to fabrication. They
learned early in life there was no
such word as "can't."
Joel, a former race car driver,
designs, builds and teaches the
boys. Racefab builds the complete

No job is too large or too small for
Racefab.
Marty remarked that the race
car business is pretty well domi-
nated by men. There are few fe-
male participants and they are not
treated equally. Using her nick-
name Marty (her name is actually
Martha) has been an asset. Some
guys call expecting to speak with a
man. They have difficulty accept-
ing the fact that a female could
possibly know anything about this
business. After assuring them that
she is owner and president of the
company, they have no trouble
getting down to business.
The Jacksons were searching for
a huge building. They had never
been to Rusk. They saw the ad for
the building on Hwy. 69 south in
the Houston Chronicle. "The build-
ing turned out to be exactly made
to order and Rusk was simply the
most gorgeous place we had ever
seen," Marty exclaimed. The boys
will be attending Rusk schools ...
Jason a senior and Jefferson a
junior. The family will attend the
Catholic Church in Rusk.

new to the Rusk, Alto and sur-
rounding area. We owe them that
good East Texas welcome.
Rube Sessions Memorial Library
By LeNell Carter
Special ro the Cherokeean/Herald
The summer reading program
at the Sessions Memorial Library
in Wells was a great success and
the children had a very good and
educational time. Two of the high-
lights were having Patrolman Greg
Sanchez from Lufkin come and
give a program on safety. Also, the
Wells Volunteer Fire Department
presented a program on safety in
the home and otherwise. The fire
truck was brought over to the li-
brary and the children had much
fun outside with the fire hose and
horn blowing. On the last day the
children were taken on a tour of
the post office and on to Dairy
Queen for treats.
There was a total of 125 children
attending the story time. Children
who read more than 20 books were

Rusk VFD
We in the Rusk Fire Department
are always striving to better pre-
pare for any inci-
dents that might
arise in the City
of Rusk so that
we can give our
citizens the best
fire protection
available in
Cherokee
County. With
that thought in
mind, we were
extremely fortu-
nate to be able to send five
firefighters to the Texas A&M
Municipal Fire School in College
Station July 25-30 last month.
There were more than 2,500 fire-
men from all over Texas and the
United States present and it was a
great week. We learned a lot and
had our men in three different
fields of study. We had three men
in Firefighting I, which covered
everything from chemistry of fire
to pumper operations and live fire
training on various types of sce-
narios. We also had one man in
Fire Prevention I which covered
various aspects of Fire Prevention.
Finally we had a man enrolled in
Fire Rescue Practices which cov-
ered various methods of extrica-
tion and rescue methods and the
tools involved. We were very lucky
to be chosen to go and feel much
more confident in our fire fighting
abilities now that we've attended.
We would like to especially thank
Joe Ray Ocker and the Cherokee
County Farm Bureau for sponsor-
ing two of our firefighters for the
school. All the public support is
extremely appreciated.

WHEN YOU GET
A
NEW COMPUTER
You get complete instructions
on how to take care of it:
DO NOT SHAKE! DO NOT DROP! DO NOT STAND ON END!
You'll probably do just as you are told because you know that your computer is a delicate and com-
plex piece of equipment and costs a lot of money. You wouldn't think of shaking it. Because that
could damage your hard drive.
ISN'T IT A SHAME THAT BABIES DON'T COME WITH SIMILAR INSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT DROP! DO NOT STRIKE! NEVER, EVER SHAKE!
Because, you see, the human brain is even more of a miracle than a hard drive. Like a computer, it
won't stand shaking. It can be damaged easier; it is much harder to replace when damaged. The fact
is, shaking kills babies and young children.
Last year, 176 babies and children died at the hands of people who are supposed to protect them. This
was an increase of 71% over the previous year. The state-wide statistics are truly frightening.
Because, you see, one child's death due to violence is one too many; 176 is a crisis.
Help us make everyone aware of the incidence of child death, particularly from being shaken, and
remember if you see or suspect that child abuse is occurring, it is your legal obligation to report it.
Call our Hotline 1-800-252-5400.
So, go ahead, baby your computer! But don't forget to give the same kind treatment to your baby, the
most amazingly complex, promising, adorable invention ever!
IT'S LOTS MORE CUDDLY THAN A HARD DRIVE!
This message brought to you on behalf of the children of Texas by Region 04 Child Welfare
Advisory Board, Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services and
East Texas Workforce Development Board Child Care Management Program.
