I “We cho ht repre Iddle said TEXARKANA (AP) — One of Juanita Lanier’s neighbors found three hungry puppies discarded in a small paper sack by uncaring owners one morning six years ago. One of the puppies, later named Prince, found its way into Lanier’s home and today weighs 85 pounds. Its sidekick, Shay, a white poodle oi the same age who arrived at about the same time as a gift to Lanier, weighs 4 pounds. Lanier, 92, who never had pre viously owned a dog, enjoys the pets who help protect her 45-year-old knitting and yarn shop. Old friends and customers still visit the tiny Lanier Yarn and Hooked Rug Shop, which faces the Highland Park Baptist Church, where Lanier has attended for 55 years. They come, as they always have, to buy knitting needles, buttons or thread — or to glance through any of the dozens of knitting and cro cheting magazines Lanier keeps on hand, some of which are collectors’ items dating back 40 years or more. But mostly they come for the con genial atmosphere and small talk that has always been the hallmark of the little shop. Like men talking around the cracker barrel, the women sit around a coffee table in straight-back chairs or on the old, stuffed sofa and spin yarns as suc cinctly as their hooked needles work “Her hearing's not as good as it used to be, and she doesn’t like to talk very much anymore, but she’s still as active as ever.

Dorothy Dixon, one of Lanier’s two daughters, says, “For years and years, this was the only shop of its kind. Women would come in droves, and mother would teach them how to knit or crochet.” Dixon says her mother started the business with no money, no experi ence and no knowledge of how to knit or crochet. “All she had was a lot of guts,” she says. “A store downtown dosed out its knitting and wool thread depart ment and made mother a good deal on the merchandise, and that was it. “She learned the the ground up. learn< and crochet, built up a and she’s been here eve Right after she went Lanier joined the F fessional Women’s Cl kana.

I’m afraid to go barefoot.” Parts of west El Paso and southern New Mexico received 3 to 7 inches of rain early last week, though less than an inch fell at the airport, where of ficial amounts are recorded. El Paso normally gets 7.77 inches of rain a year. In addition to swamping fields and flooding a few neighborhoods, the rain lured the scorpions from the mountains, Dr. John Haynes, El Paso Poison Control Center director, said Tuesday. Some of the sinister-looking sting ing creatures are washed downhill, but many chase the insects they feed on, which descend in the rain, Haynes said. “They’re all over the city, probably everywhere,” he said. “They’re just more common close to the mountains.” Baldwin’s daughter, Stacey, was stung on the hand, but suffered little more than redness, swelling and pain. A scorpion sting usually results in sharp pain followed by swelling and numbness. Sometimes the entire limb that was stung will be numb for six to 12 hours. Haynes said, “We usually tell all of our callers to make sure their tet anus shot is up to date. To ease the pain, we recommend putting some ice in a Baggie, wrapping it in a cloth and putting it on the bite.” The armored-looking arthropods like to burrow in wood piles, bed ding, clothes and shoes. One en counter with a scorpion usually is enough to remind a victim to always check bed sheets and shake out boots before getting into them.

All scorpion stings are poisonous, but in varying degrees, said Phil Glogoza, entomo legist with the state Extension Serv ice in El Paso. Like bee stings, they can kill people who are allergic to the poisonous bites. But two species in the Southwest can be deadly to non-allergic people, Glogoza said. One deadly species can be found in El Paso and the most dangerous is found in Arizona. “Any scorpion is potentially poi sonous to humans,” he said. “But we particularly worry about young chil dren or older adults or adults who are in poor health.” two-day advance purchai unts, but the American ticl ust be purchased seven da| ^ance, McGregor said, i Eastern’s seven-day m ■ purchase discounts, Ameri ml match with a 14-day al purchase requirement, t| ■cted in If tuber 1975 Eother, Ge ■O, Who W£ Bathroom c Bxclusive R ■ Testimoj Erminded Bster, Dial b ind John Eonth-old ers in the north, soul by MIS to SI itorr issippi willl ? are changes, H ahese are our most compel arkets,” McGregor said. | ut 900 markets will be a! , McGregor said.
