24 Hour Emergency Phone: 234-3834 Rx Drug Advertising: Latest Survey Results
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs is a rela- tively new way for pharmaceutical manufacturers to promote their prod- ucts. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conducted sev- eral surveys to determine if DTC-type advertising is providing a benefit to consumers. The results of the FDA's latest survey involved the opin- ion of 500 physicians. This latest survey confirmed an earlier belief that when done correctly, this type of media advertising can increase the public's awareness of diseases and treatments and prompt discussions with their doctors. Most physicians agreed that after seeing a DTC ad, their patients tend to ask more thoughtful or detailed questions during office visits. Some physicians thought DTC ads gave people a greater awareness of treatment options and helped them become more involved in their own healthcare.
On the other hand, just under 10 % of physicians surveyed said that they felt pressured to prescribe particular drugs when their patients mentioned a specific DTC ad. Over seventy percent of physicians felt that DTC ads often mislead patients to believe that the drug advertised works better than it actually does.

that's not an easy or quick task. Dumping is still a problem. People
are using dumpsters for their own per- sonal use. STOP IT!
Owners have to pay for the use of these dumpsters and they have a cer- tain quota before they are charged a higher rate. If I owned a dumpster, I wouldn't be excited about the City go- ing up on my rates because someone is dumping their trash in my dumpster.
I swear, I don't know what people are thinking these days when they use our highways or someone's dumpster for their own personal trash!
I'm not sure if it's a lack of pride or a lack of brain matter. Get it through your heads... you put trash in a trash can... preferably your OWN trash can. Did no one teach you to pick up your trash? What part of that do you not un- derstand?
Webb informed Council that the patching was finished inside the water tower and painting should start soon, weather permitting.
Holland told Council he is asking the City crew if any of them want to

Council was adjourned.
Just my thinking
After the water tower is painted THEN Eagle Lake will be painted on it instead of Rice Raiders or In God We Trust. Yes, I said God in the paper!
This is America and America was founded on Christian principals! I think "In God We Trust" would have been great on the water tower!
Why do we always let one or two people dictate what we do? Can't pray

Do you think if I went to China, the Chinese would be worried what I thought while they were praying to Buddha? Do you think they would re- ally CARE what I thought?
By the time you read this, our na- tion may be at war. I hope you are ALL saying a prayer for our country and its leaders at this time. I hope you say prayers for all the people in uniform and their families.
If our country has ever needed prayer, it's now. This isn't the time to be worried about offending someone with prayer.
Am I going to be saying a prayer? You betcha!

agement programs. Dr. Lee Dickerson, Director of U.S.
Range Cattle Business for Purina Mills LLC said, "Bunge Halla and Eagle Lake General Store was named Top Hand because the dealership has suc- cessfully brought Intake Modifying Technology™ to their market through programs like Sup-R-Lix®, Accura- tion®/Cattle Limiter™, IMPACT®, and Sup-R-Block®. These programs allow the ranchers to utilize their most valuable resource, their grass or hay. At the same time, because these cattle feed products are offered free-choice to cattle 24-7, the cattle producer saves significantly on feeding cost since he doesn't need to deliver feed to them every day or every other day. The re- search proven intake modifiers in the products assure cattle only consume the amount of supplemental feed that they need depending on the quality of the forage they have available. This assures the cattle meet their nutritional needs, but the producer doesn't spend any more than necessary for supplemental feed. Bunge and his staff have done an exceptional job of providing counsel to customers, allowing them to get op- timal performance from their cowherd and improve their profit potential."

The 1932 Eagle Lake Eagles Football Lettermen Thanks to Steve Balas for letting us know about this picture and information he received recently. We were
able to find the website and bring it to you. You can find this plus games and scores at www.austinoldies.com/ 1932_footbalI.htm.
The 1932 Lettermen for the Eagle Lake Eagles were, in back, from left, James Adkins, Louis Balas, Charley Brown, James Bunge, Richard Clipson, Co-Captain Chester Glasier and Melton Ham.

agement programs. Dr. Lee Dickerson, Director of U.S.
Range Cattle Business for Purina Mills LLC said, "Bunge Halla and Eagle Lake General Store was named Top Hand because the dealership has suc- cessfully brought Intake Modifying Technology™ to their market through programs like Sup-R-Lix®, Accura- tion®/Cattle Limiter™, IMPACT®, and Sup-R-Block®. These programs allow the ranchers to utilize their most valuable resource, their grass or hay. At the same time, because these cattle feed products are offered free-choice to cattle 24-7, the cattle producer saves significantly on feeding cost since he doesn't need to deliver feed to them every day or every other day. The re- search proven intake modifiers in the products assure cattle only consume the amount of supplemental feed that they need depending on the quality of the forage they have available. This assures the cattle meet their nutritional needs, but the producer doesn't spend any more than necessary for supplemental feed. Bunge and his staff have done an exceptional job of providing counsel to customers, allowing them to get op- timal performance from their cowherd and improve their profit potential."
