wonder if they feel good and are happy because of this crime? 5th West will never be the same beautiful cottonwood the trees again are gone This project has made a lot of people unhappy in Delta Name withheld by request No patent can aver ba taken out on a gambling machine in the US ‘Reflections’ Thanks for publishing a very teresting and educational paper by especially love "Reflections" Mary Henrie If had her address I’d appreciate her let her know how of her earlier life etc "Reflections" also love the cartoons They are educational and interesting and enterread them first and I love the taining "quotes" and special educational articles from professors of universities Elaine E Richardson Editor reflects love of area Have you ever stopped to think about the special people who give of themselves to our community?

Dawn Carder Teacher to Parent Helping your child succeed fS J President by Betty Condie Utah Education Association Today’s children spend about as much time watching television as adults than 4'j hours a day By the time they finish high school they’ll have put in 22000 hours before the as many as the 000 hours they’ll have spent in classrooms How should parents deal with television? The best answer may be to put limitations on TV viewing and promote “positive" viewing “Positive viewing” means you turn on the TV only for programs you have a positive reason to watch then you turn it off What you want to discourage in your child is the habit of turning on the set just to have it on That’s not easy Television has gotten to be such a strong habit with most families that it requires a lot of will power to shut it off and leave it off You may be surprised to learn how much time your child spends watching TV compared to time spent in other activities Have your child keep a log of daily activities and the time they take clude activities such as attending school studying talking on the phone eating sleeping and of course watching TV Then rank the activities in order of importance How much time is being spent on the most important things? What ideas does your child have about changing her schedule? Perhaps you’ll learn that she too thinks that much television is a waste of time would not argue for doing away with TV altogether Ten hours a week spent watching can conquality TV programming tribute to learning More can hinder Middle America Brooks Campbell: The long wait by Bob Thomas Brooks Campbell was pushing 80 when met him in the town museum in Cedar Key FL Cedar Key is over the on the Gulf Coast about way up the state It used to be an old railroad town later the cedar trees supplied the Faber Pencil Co with all of its wood needs For a time back in the 20s it was a fishing port known for its blue crab catche Its only other claim to fame was t that it was the city occupied by Northern troops during the Civil War Today its quaintness is an attraction for artists and weekend photographers went there out of curiosity and an rumor that the Captain's Table served the best clams in that part of the country (I wasn’t disappointed) Campbell is an affable guy He's quick to show strangers a reference to issue of "Nahimself in a tional Geographic" magazine It talks about his cure for rheumetoid arthritis in an article that deals with Cedar Key’s local color I figured the old guy was worth a few paragraphs of mention in my book so set up an interview with him (He didn’t disappoint me either) Campbell and his wife of 60 years house an immaculate maintained Nothing pretentious about it Typical "Cracker” architecture: long low and was roof elevated on cinder blocks The of rusting tin and the twin magnolia trees in the front lawn were bearded with ancient Spanish moss The Campbells Mr an Mrs were busy at the kitchen table when arrived They were brewing and bottlinng the “Brooks Campbell Home Remedy for Arthritic Acnes and Pains” bottle was going for $10 then The entire operation had two moving parts: he was one she was the other Campbell never missed a lick on a label or a twist of a cap as he worked on his end of the table Mrs Campbell at the other end kept stirring away at the dark brown fluid in a stainless steel bowl There was the putrid stench of a dank swamp to the immediate area Two fans did the best they could to blow the miasma through opened screened windows later the daily routine of A the short assembly line shut down The Campbells make up a batch that fills 50 bottles every day but Sunday Most of those bottles find their way into Eckerd Drug Stores in lorida cities that attract retirees: St Peterburg Tort Lauderdale Tampa Clearwater and Miami That figures That’s where the arthritic aches and pains are centered in the Sunshine State You’d think Campbell would be happy with a gross income of $3 0(X) a week but he’s not First of all he doesn’t clear $3000 a week More like $180 on the bottle he says He has supplies to buy and he assumes all of the costs of marketing and distribution And then Eckerd’s keeps $4 a bottle Even so $90 a day for 2 hours of work isn't all that bad for "Backwater” Florida mentioned to him in a manner of mollification "Hell" he boomed “think of what could be making if the (mild expletive deleted!) Pure Food and Diug Administration would let me go nationwide Dammit could be a millionaite!” That’s Campbell’s problem: The State of Florida has declared his formula "harmless and beneficial" but the FDA has been trying to make up its mind for the last dozen years When Mrs Campbell began hci duties Brook and went for a beer He told me a little bit about his youth He had been a fisherman and a boat builder He claimed he once built a yacht for Old Joe Kennedy Campbell thinks it was used to run rum from Havana to Cedar Key back in the days of Prohibition Campbell swears he installed tanks behind the bulkheads of the And he supervised the installation of twin Rolls Royce engines in her “She was awfully fast for a fishing boat” he aid “and know those tanks weren't meant to hold bait” Last time saw Campbell he was me of out the beer bill “Don’t arguing let all my complaining fool you” he said “I ain't broke" Something tells me that with his Scottish determination he’ll break down the FDA one of these days and he’ll eventully go nationwide certainly hope so He ptomised me could be his public relations man Let's see if I could talk him out of 25 cents a bottle times 10000 bottles a day times 365 days a year Gee in a couple of years I just might look around for Old Jv’s yacht and start living the life t lavis McGee |
