tales
from trinidad
By Ann Rounsavall
The balmy weather and gusting
winds last week were perfect for kite.
flying. Bobby and our four year old
Chad took advantage of the season, a
sunny afternoon, and a pirate kite. late
one evening.
I watched from a bedroom window
{or a few moments before starting
dinner. Motherly pride swept through
me as I watched father and son, with
the wind carrying the kite toward the
clouds, and gently blowing that small
head full of blonde hair on my son. It
was a scene worthy of Norman
Steak was the main dish for the
evening, a family favorite and one that
we find less and less on our dinner table
as the recession progresses.
It had been a bus.v day at the office
for me, but the unusually warm, sunny
weather pulled n'e from an afternoon
Slump to a cheery frame of mind and I
found myself humming as l prepared
dinner. It was a lovely domestic scene.
Dinner was well underway when
t,
Amy came in to tell me that Bobby was
visiting down the street and Chad
needed help with the kite.
I saw the kite as I opened the door
and it was barely within eyesight. Chad
was thrilled...but tired. He had been
unwinding string for quite awhile.
The ball of twine grew slowly as I
wound and wound. Gusts of wind
pulled the kite higher as I pulled to get
it to the ground. I marveled that Chad
had been able to hold on.
It was nearly dark as the kite
touched the ground and a group of
neighborhood children cheered my
efforts. We had collected quite an
audience, I found as I turned around.
'" The steak was burned, the potatoes
were dry, and the salad had wilted
when I made it back into the house.
Bobby came through the door soon
after, sniffed, and said "something
burned".
I thought about explaining, then
said simply, "that kite was a good
1,000 feet high."

Blood Drive
Planned By
Local Javcees
Persons in the local area will have an
opportunity to do a worthwhile deed on
Tuesday, March 4, as the Stewart
Blood Center mobile donor unit from
Tyler, is scheduled to be parked on
Ilighway 31 near the Dairy Mart from
10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., for blood
donations.
The blood drive is being sponsored
by the Trinidad Jaycees, and according
to the group's president, J.R. (Bobby)
Rounsavatl, all citizens of Trinidad and
surrounding communities are encour-
aged to take part.
During the past months, there has
been an acute shortage of blood in the
Tyler area, and throughout the 18,000
square miles served by Stewart Blood
Center, so various clubs, organizations,
and communities have begun to
participate in the program to meet the
demand caused by increased blood
usage.
Individuals donating a pint of blood
will be eligible for membership in the
center's blood donors assurance plan,
which is a program designed to assure
members and their families of un-
limited blood replacement when and if a
blood.traansfusion is needed. A one pint
donation is the required membership
dues, and may be renewed annually
with a one pint blood donation.
The blood donors assurance plan is
aimed at benefitting members or his
family. All the blood that may be
needed is provided at no cost for
processing and replacement up to $40
per unit. The membership will cover the
husband, wife, and all dependent
unmarried children up to the age of 23.
