The Big Change
In Long-Distance Is Coming.
Starting January 31,1987 For Rio Grande City Customers.
Here's something you should know.
There are many long-distance tele-
phone companies. Each has its own
services and prices.
But until now, only one of them
offered you the convenience of "1 + or
0 +" dialing. If you wanted to use
any of the others, you had to dial
as many as 14 extra numbers.
No more.
Thanks to a service called
"Equal Access, you can use
any of the long-distance
companies serving your area
by dialing their five-digit
access code. You may also
choose a preferred" long-
distance company to han-
dle "1 + or 0 +" long-dis-
tance calls.
In the next few days, we
will send you information
explaining Equal Access.

Deputy Linda Pierce is shown with Rosemary Silva, a
second grader at F.J. Scott Elementary in Roma, as
they dramatize one of the activities on safety for the
upcoming festivities.
Pierce Addresses Scott
On Halloween Safety
Bv SYLVIA G. CANALES
Trick or treating is the main
Halloween activity for most chil-
dren in our community.
It is a favorite holiday for our
children, and it became apparent
that we needed to make an extra
effort to make this activity safe for
our children.
For this reason Deputy Linda
Perce was invited by the second
grade staff of F.J. Scctt Elementa-
ry School in Roma to visit all
second grade classes to teach the
students safety tips for the up-
coming Halloween activities.
Certain safety measures that
could prevent accidents were made
very explicit by Deputy Pierce
Dramatization on "How to say no
to strangers" was also made with
the students participating. A lively
question and answer session at the
end involved each different class,
in which one little student summed
it all up by saying "This was
great!"
Roma Elementary School Prin-
cipal Mr. Jose G. Gonzalez, Ele-
mentary Vice-Principal Mrs.
Ludivina Ybarra, and all the
second grade staff thanked Deputy
Pierce for the time she dedicated
to the "Safe Halloween" campaign
H.E.B. Suggests Teddy Bears
For Youngsters
If your must tell your innermost
secrets to someone, and who
doesn't feel the urge, H.E.B
Foods/Drugs Stores suggest you
tell them to a teddy bear. In this
age of kiss-and-tell memoirs and
torrid tabloids, a tight-lipped teddy
may be your safest confidant. In
fact, teddies may be the bearers of
more top secrets than any other
stuffed animal in America.
Americans' love affair with the
teddy bear has been one of the
longest-running in our country's
history People of all ages are
drawn into close relationships with

their teddy bears. Bears are not
only a symbol of comfort and
security, but they are also very
instrumental in helping people to
deal with their physical and
emotional situations.
While preparing for H.E.B. Bear
Month currently running at
all store locations, H.E.B
employees found they couldn't
resist reminiscing about their own
favorite teddy bears and the
secrets they shared. Comments
such as. "My bear was very
comforting when there were
troubling times. He was easy to
talk to when I needed someone to
listen to me," insprired the compa-
ny to donate 25 of the Honey Jo
BearsTM being featured at H.E.B
to a group of children who might
really need a friend to talk to, the
children of Santa Rosa Children's
Hospital in San Antonio.
According to Becky Ramirez,
Child Life coordinator at Santa
Rosa Children's Hospital in San
Antonio, bears are good compa-
nions for children and adults alike.
"Bears offer emotional support
and comfort," says Ramirez.
"They are often used by doctors,
therapists and police officers in
dealing with children," adds
Ramirez. "Children feel secure
with their bears, they enter a
secret world where there are no
demands or regulations, just some-
one who listens with a sympathetic
and understanding ear. Through
this secure relationship, children
reveal their innermost thoughts
and secrets, which are often things
they are afraid to tell adults or
family members Listening to my
patients' conversations with their
bears helps me to better un-
derstand what they are going
through in accepting their illness,"
comments Ramirez.
To show their gratitude for their
new Honey Jo BearsTM," the
children at Children's Hospital
wrote to tell H.E.B. which secrets
they would be sharing. Jennifer
Koonce, 6, wrote to H.E.B., "I love
my Teddy Bear and he loves me I
love my Teddy Bear because he is
lovable and warm and he doesn't
kick me out of bed." L*ra Lauren.
9, loves her new bear because, "He
is very important to me. He is
always my friend and is a person I
tell all my secrets to." Danny
Davila, 9, loves his bear because "I
tell him a story and taae him to
bed with me and cover him up so
he will go to sleep He will always
be my friend."
For their long and faithful
service, many adults remain
closely tied to their Teddy Bears
from years back. "For older people
the association to a bear reverts
them back to a time when they
were secure and being take care of
Most adults, when walking into a
room and spotting a bear, will
squeeze and hug the bear before
shaking someone's hand. To them
it's an old friend," comments
Melissa Stenicka, H.E.B. vice pres-
ident advertising and sales promo-
tion.
H.E.B. is offering Honey Jo
BearsTM by Dakin, to all its
customers thoughout the month of
October. With a single purchase of.
>25 or more, the bear is available
for $9 99, or *19.99 without an
accompanying purchase. They're
guaranteed to keep a secret.
