By Frances Henry
special to Golden Eagle
As spring has arrived and
the days are bright and
beautiful many individuals
expose themselves to the
sun's rays to get a tan. To
reduce the incidence of skin
cancer we must protect
ourselves from getting too
much sun.
Pale is in, not 'tin if one is
to actively lower the risk of
skin cancer. When being
exposed to the sun we
should wear sun screen,
hats and clothing to protect
us from the sun.
June the third is a day
which is designated at Can-
cer Survivors Day. This is a
way to honor those who
have survived and to give
hope to those who are bat-
tling cancer.

Groups hope Heritage Week
will help to keep the past alive...
By Kellye Norris
of the Eagle staff
The Redcoats were closing in on a
small rag -tag unit of colonists who
were cold, hungry and badly outman-
ned. Defeat was certain for the rebels.
until a handful of local schoolboys,
some not yet in their teens, grabbed
their fathers' muskets and helped the
colonists rout the British.
Stories like this one, handed down
through generations, are an important
part of our nation's history — a part,
according to some local historical
groups, that is too often forgotten.
"if we can start early and teach the
children to appreciate their heritage,
then perhaps they'll take time later on
in life to tell their children about their
ancestors," said Frances Henry. "In
order to deal with the present, l believe
you have to understand and appre-
ciate your heritage."
October 1-7 has been designated
National Colonial Heritage Week, and
organizers estimate that more than
10,000 clubs across the country will
honor America's founding patriots
with special ceremonies, contests and
parades. Henry is president of the
John Pearson Chapter of the Colonial
Dames XVII Century, one of about half
a dozen local groups directing area

Colonial Heritage -Month
Six local heritage societies are
celebrating Colonial Heritage
Month, which is October, by dis-
tributing bookmarks and puzzles
and telling stories to schoolchil-
dren about American colonists.
The societies have distributed
36,000 bookmarks to the students
in public and private schools in
the Brazos Valley (Anderson,
Bryan, College Station, Madison-
ville, Navasota, and Normangee)
and to the Bryan and College Sta-
tion libraries during the month of
September.
Designed by members, the
bookmarks are patriotic and his-
toric in nature. Word -find puzzles
about historic `events and people
also have been created for local
schools. All of the materials are
free of charge. Programs are giv-
en by invitation f�om schools and
other groups.
Frances Henry, president of
John Person Chapter of Colonial
Dames XVII Century, dresses in
colonial dress and goes to schools,
clubs, Girl Scout troops and other
groups as a storyteller. She tells
about how people lived in the
colonial period (1600-1700s). Her
"show and tell" articles are ex-
amples of dolls, toys, and em-
broidery and crochet of colonial
times.
Members of the heritage socie-
ties also promote interest in
genealogy and family histories.
On Oct. 10, Mary Cooper and
Henry will hold a genealogical
workshop to help prospective
members of the various societies
trace their genealogy so that they
may become members.
Participating in the observan-
ces are members of the John Per-
son Chapter of Colonial Dames
XVII Century, the Governors
Chapter of Daughters of the
American Colonists, the Stephen
Williams Chapter of the U.S.
Daughters of 1812, and three
chapters of the Daughters of the
American Revolution — La Vil-
lita, of College Station, William
Scott of Bryanand Robert Raines
of Navasota.
To belong to one of these organ-
izations a woman, must be at least
18 years old and be invited to be a
member by a chapter. Other qual-
ifications:
■A Colonial Dames XVII Cen-
tury member must be a lineal

Looking like he stepped off a Revolutionary, War
hattlefield, Ronald Schorn bell.xA celebrate the
opening of the "Freedom's Journey" exhibit at
the George Bush Presidential Library & Musewn
during a Thursday afternoon ribbon -cutting.
I think you should do this with a sword," sug-
gested Dr. Gary Milan, a retired dentist from Bev-
erly Hills, Calif, who owns most of the artifacts in
the exhibit.
A sword or a bayonet may, have seemed more fit-
ting for the opening of an exhibit that traces CA)lonjal
history and the nation's struggle toward independ-
ence, but a pair of black -handled scissors had to do.
Schorn, who is a member of the Arlington, Mass.,
Minutemen unit, clipped a purple velvet ribbon and
announci,d the official opening of the exhibit.
"So much for kings," he said as the ribbon parted
and more than 40 eager visitors filed through the
door of the gallery.
Charles Jennings, a museum visitor from Dallas,
made a beeline for the exhibit's pride and joy - an
original print of the, Declaration of Independence,
"It's spectacular," he said. "It illustrates that the
