FACE 2, HUDSPETH COUNTY HERALD-Dell \ alley Review. MARCH 1, 1974
THE EXOPCIST -pall harvey
It's amusing when TV’s Hip Wilson grins and says, ':The De-
vil made me do that!"
It's terrifying when the child victim in the movie, "The Ex-
orcist, " screams, "The devil made me !"
The demonic possession of humans is not something Holly-
wood invented. It is quite as old as the Old Testament.
Jesus exorcized demons.
Clergymen of the 1970s, Catholic and Protestant, can relate
experiences very similar to those chronicled in the book a.nd
shown with such ghastly realism in the movie.
Frequently, in their coun-
seling clergymen experience
superr ;tural manifestations
which they are reticent to
discuss from the pulpit.
The fallibility of the movie
rating system is brought
sharply into focus when a
naked human breast keeps
children out while across the
street they are admitted in
to see the gangrenous soul
a little girl.
In every city where "The
Exorcist" has been shown,
some youngsters have fled
the theater screaming—many.
PAUL HARVEY
into hospitals; some are un- : ... . .
der restraint as a result of that terrifyingly graphic portrayal of
demon possession.
The Church of England has 20 priests who carry out exorcist
rites. The Rev. Mr. Neil-Smith has performed 2,000 exor-
cisms in the last five years.
The vicar concedes that one in 20 who seek his help is suff-
ering from a too-vivid imagination, but the other 19 he con-
siders to be genuinely possessed by evil spirits.
Once an ex-priest came to him, said he had been dabbling
in "black magic" and asked the vicar to perform the ceremony
of exorcism.
"As I raised my hands above his head, " the vicar says, "I
felt the spirit being transferred from the ex-priest to me. It
yras a strange, terrifying experience. "
He was then forced to seek help from another Anglican
clergyman before he was "freed" from the "possessor. "
The vicar is a part-time crusader against involvement of
young Britons in "black magic. " He says they must be
warned of dangers; that if you invite Satan to enter your life
and take over your body he will.
The Church of England researched demon possession as re-
cently as the 1960s and, after eight years of diligent study,
recommended as recently as 1972 that every diocesan bishop
should appoint a priest as diocesan exorcist.
Similarly, Roman Catholic priests are authorized by their
Church heirarchy to perform the ancient rites.
San Francisco's Father Karl Patzelt has described a family of
husband, wife and 2-year-old son who struggled with Satan for
29 days last fall—a situation with many similarities to those
subsequently included in the movie--until the last of 14 an-
cient Christian rites finally "set them free. "
Some men of science are inclined to dismiss "demon possess-
ion" as somnambuliform possession, a guilt-related hysteria.
But they offer no explanation for the levitation involved and
other manifestations of a supernatural presence which responsi-
ble clergymen report.
Most of the world's religions assume that God and the Devil
struggle for degrees of possession of each of us until each of us
surrenders himself to the will and the ways of one or the other.

As expected, the Educational Article to the proposed new Con-
stitution caused long and sometimes bitter debate at the Consti-
tutional Convention. I suppose there are more sincere and diff-
erent feelings about the Educational Article than any other arti-
cle of the Constitution. It was pointed out that even in 1876 the
debate on the Educational Article took three weeks.
The most debate yvas over the first section. This section pro-
posed to provide for the "equitable support and maintenance of
an efficient system of free public schools below the college lev-
el that will furnish each individual an equal educational oppor-
tunity. " There was fear expressed by some that this might mean
the loss of local control. During the debate, the difference be-
tween educational opportunity in Presidio and Houston was fre-
quently mentioned even though all those talking about Yesidio
had never been there.
I supported the section because I felt that we had the opportun-
ity to strike out in bold new directions for the future of educat-
ion in Texas. I feel it is right that students, whether they be in
Rresidio, Dell City, Van Hom, Allamore or Houston, have the
same opportunity to develop their minds so they will be limited
only by their desire to attain their life's goals. I do not want any
child to be denied a quality education because they come from
a poor family or area. I think it is quite proper for the Constitu-
tion to make the commitment to see that each child, no matter
where that child lives in Texas, has the same educational oppor-
tunity' as any other child in Texas.
However, there were some who felt that this might deny local
school districts the right to provide local enrichment programs.
To ensure that this did not happen, an addition was placed in
the Education Section that says that local enrichment programs
can be provided if the people so desire. The State though, has
the obligation to see that each child is provided a quality edu-
cation with or without local enrichment programs.
The Permanent University Fund was another section that provi-
ded much debate. There were attempts to "break" tire fund and
spread it around to all colleges and universities in Texas. The
delegates felt that this would at best provide mediocrity to all
and excellence to none. Texas A 8 M and the University of Tex-
as at Austin are among two of the highest rated universities in
the United States, and in fact have world-wide recognition.They
provide specialized functions that are available to any student
in Texas.
Debate on tire Education Article will continue into the last
weals of F 'bn y.

-Op . a checklist for saving farm fuels. It is published
by the Governor's Committee

servation and tire Texas De-
partment of Agriculture. If
you want one, either write to

It has many good ideas on
how to save fuel around farms

FB URGES NO
RESTRICTIONS ON
FARM EXPORTS
WACO—The Texas Farm
Bureau is urging President
Nixon and Congress to resist
any efforts to place restric-
tions on farm exports.
A resolution adopted by the
TFB Board of Directors this
week and sent to the Presi-
dent and mambers of the
Texas delegation in Congress
states that "agricultural ex-
ports are absolutely essential
to farmers and ranchers and
are vitally important to the
nation as a whole. "
The resolution said that "
"embargoes placed on any
commodities are invitations
to economic disaster. "
Text of the resolution con-
tinues:
"Loss of our farm export
market would force us to cut
production by one-fifth.
Thousands of rural people
would flock to cities. Work-
ers in industries related to
agriculture would flood the
labor market looking for jobs.
"On the other hand, if we
can maintain our strong ex-
port market all segments of
the economy will reap the
benefits."
"Full production, which is
dependent upon exports, en-
ables us tocutper unit costs.
This is reflected in lower
prices in supermarkets and
clothing stores. The consum-
er is the ultimate and major
beneficiary. Full produc-
tion in agriculture assures
jobs in businesses related to
agriculture. Nearly 40 per-
cent of our work force is in-
volved directly or indirectly
in agriculture. "
"Farm exports are a prin-
cipal source of this Nation's
foreign exchange, and have
helped give us a favorable
balance cf trade for the first
time since 1970.
"Because of the importance
of our overseas markets, the
Texas Farm Bureau strongly
urges that the President and
Congress resist any efforts to
restrict farm exports. "
Dell Valley -School Sup-
erintendent, Jim Trimble,
has announced a change in
the Spring Vacation for tire

It has been changed to the
week of March 4 through
March 8. This is due to a
conflict of the District U. I. L.
Meet and the originally
scheduled vacation.
The week of March 4 was
selected because it comes
between the second and third
quarters.

P. M. on Friday, March 1.
On Monday, March 11, school
hours will revert to 8:00 A. M.
until 3:30 P. M.
Buses will run 30 minutes
earlier than the present sche-
dule.

colonies paved the way lor a
federal union by adopting the
Articles of Confederation on
this date in 1781.

ALL ABOUT HORSES
Hay Quality 0- How can I tell good quality hay from poor
quality hay ? A. Tire easily recognizable characteristics of hay
of high quality are:
It is made from plants cut at an early stage of maturity, thus
assuring the maximum content of protein, minerals and vit-
amins, and the highest digestibility.
It is leafy, thus giving assurance of high protein content.
It is bright green in color, thus indicating proper curing, an
high carotene or provitamin A content (provided it is not over a
year old), and palatability
It is free from foreign material, such as weeds, stubble, etc.
It is free from must or mold and dust.
It is fine-stemmed and pliable---not coarse, stiff, and woody,
It has a pleasing, fragrant aroma; it "smells good enough to
eat. "
WHY TWO SISTERS DON'T LOOK ALJKEO, I haye two
that are full sisters. But they are very dissimilar in appearance,,
even though they have been raised under the same environ-^
ment. Why is this so? A. The gene is the unit ot heredity. In
the body cells of horses, there are a number of pairs of bundles
called chromosomes. In turn, the chromosomes carry pairs of
minute particles, called genes, which are the basic hereditary
material. The nucleus of each body cell of horses contains 32
pairs of chromosomes, so a total, of 64; whereas there are thou-
sands of pairs of genes. When a sex cell (a sperm or an egg) is
formed, only one chromosome and one gene of each pair goes
■ into it. Then when mating and fertilization occur the single
chromosomes and genes are again present in duplicate in the
body cells of the embryo. Thus, with all possible combinations;
of 32 pairs of chromosomes (the specie number in horses) and
the genes that they bear, it is not strange that full sisters (ex-
cept identical twins from a single egg split after fertilization )
are so different. Actually, we can marvel that they bear as
much resemblance-to each other as they do.
Because of this situation, the mating of a mare with a fine
track record to a stallion that on the average transmits relatively
good performance will not always produce a foal of a merit
equal to its parents. Tire foal could be markedly poorer than
the parents or, happily, it could in some cases be better than
either parent.
Trimming and Shoeing Feet: Q. Why are horses' feet trimmed
and shod when wild horses got along without either? How, and
at what intervals, should this be done ? A. Nature didn’t intend
that a horse be used on hard surfaces and have a person on his
back. Thus, when man domesticated the horse, he also assumed
certain responsibilities for his care in an unnatural environment
-—-including trimming and shoeing his feet.
Before the feet are trimmed, the horse should be inspected
while standing iquarely on a level, hard surface. Then he
should be seen at both the walk and the trot.
The hoofs should be trimmed every month or six weeks wheth-
er the animal is shod or not. If shoes are left on too long, the
hoofs grow out of proportion. This may throw the horse off
balance and put extra stress on the tendons. Always keep the
hoofs at proper length and correct posture. Trim the hoofs near
the level of the sole; otherwise, they will split off if the
horse remains unshod. Trim the frog carefully and remove only
ragged edges that allow filth to accumulate in the crevices.
Trim the sole very sparingly, if at all, and never rasp the wall
of the hoof.
Horses should be shod when they are used on hard surfaces for
any length of time. Also, shoes may be used to change gaits
and action, correct faulty hoof structure or growth, protect the
hoof from such conditions as corns, contractions, or cracks,
and aid in gripping the track. Shoes should be made to fit the
foot and not the foot to fit the shoe. Reshoe or reset at 4- to'
6- week intervals.Do not attempt to shoe a horse without first
getting instructions from a farrier.
