Lopez.
Supporting the team were
some friendly girls from the
valley. The team was well-
received in the day-long
affair. While the girls may
not have won a trophy, they
show ed good sportsmanship,
remarkable endurance, and
great team work
The day was hot and
humid, and the Rio All Stars
headed for home exhausted
but in good spirits, having
had a lot of fun and having
met wonderful citizens from
far away as Corpus
Christi and Brownsville.
'We are the Champions"
would be a good theme song
from now on for all types of
teams from Rio. Lety hit a
booming hoinerun over the
was
fence, and everybody
hitting, running and fielding
to the best of their ability.
They were all outstanding
players, needless to say, and
every single one of them
deserved individual trophies
for their heart and hustle.
Comparison shop to avoid
falling into the "gift" check
trap, advises a family
resource management
specialist.
Several companies are
using this "gift" check
method to sell merchandise,
Linda McCormack with the

Pan American University
is offering 15 post-graduate
stipends to qualifying
elementary teachers who
have a master of education
degree in bilingual-bi-
cultural education.
Recipients will receive a
$415 stipend for post-
graduate work in super-
vision.
In addition to a master of
education degree in
bilingual-bicultural
education, recipient
eligiblity requires the ap-
plicant to be a state certified
elementary teacher with
successful teaching ex-
perience in an approved
public school bilingual

years of teaching experience
and a personal interview
also are required.
Deadline for application is

says.
For example, the con-
sumer will receive a $200
"gift" check in the mail. The
consumer can only use the
check-plus an additional
$69.95 from the consumer-
for a particular company's
merchandise.
Anyone can become
susceptible to this sales
pitch. After all. it's not every
day an individual receives a
$200 "gift" check, the
specialist explains.
However, it is important
for the consumer to know the
true value of the product
before purchasing. It's not
realistic to expect a com-
pany to absorb two-thirds of
the cost of their own product,
she points out.
Reactions of some con-
sumers who have received
the various products were
that the product was fair in
quality, but not worth the
price. The product is often
lower in cost at local
discount stores than the
mail-order product.

I once read the definition of a vac?tion as "2
weeks that are 2 short and leave y^u 2 tired 2
return 2 work but 2 broke not 2." Parts of this may
be true, but the R&R recieved from a vacation,
whether it be a long trip or just a change of pace, is
always a boon. Our family returned last week
from a trip we've been hoping to make for years.
We motored to Colorado via New Mexico, "Land
of Enchantment." Carlsbad Caverns was
fascinating and New Mexico was nice, but we
were enchanted by Colorado. The indian cliff
dwellings at Mesa Verde captured the kids, as did
the sight of snow in the Rocky Mountains along the
Million Dollar Highway. We South Texans couldn't
pass up a chance to climb up and play around in it,
of course. Trout fishing, hot spring pools, jeep
rides, and beautiful surroundings were a treat at
Ouray," aptly called "Switzerland of the
Americas." Then on to the warmer side of the sta-
te closer to home, '"here we ' aw the Royal Gorge
before continuing to Colorado Springs where the
National Sports Festival was taking place. We
enjoyed watching ice skating and boxing plus
some of the standard sights in the area, such as
the Garden of the Gods and the North Pole. Back
in Texas we enjoyed a stay in the Panhandle with
Aunts Madge and Stella Rusk. The outdoor drama
"Texas" in the Palo Duro Canyon was another
highlight of the trip, before travelling south for a
brief stay in the hill country. We left there just in
the nick of time, the day the rain started that
brought flooding to the area, and returned home to
find that a nice rain had also cooled off Starry
County somewhat. Mountains of photographs and
of memories of mountains remain, yet it's always
good to be back home and back at the old
typewriter. Here goes!
