THE PRESCRIPTION
■ REGULATIONS ARE
GETTING STRICTERI
Time was when things were fairly simple. Your
doctor examined you, determined what was wrong
and gave you a prescription to bring to your
pharmacist to be compounded.
Nowadays it Is getting more complicated to fill
prescriptions. Such terms as Bioavailability, adverse
drug reactions and patient medication profiles have
come into picture. Then in addition there are many
new labeling requirements, special containers, and In
a large number of cases complex paper work. The
time our pharmacists save in preparing a prescrip-
tion is more than taken up by all the new

“Nothing is as important in deter-
mining the quality of education as
the quality of the teacher," he
continues. "Great facilities filled
with mediocre teachers will produce
a mediocre education."
Boren believes that a major prob-
lem in Oklahoma's educational sys-
tem is the lack of real recognition
afforded to educators by the leaders
of our state. This recognition is
important, Boren believes, to dem-
onstrate the significance attached to
certain roles in our society by our
business and political leaders.

James Cochran was back at work
Monday. April 27, after spending
two days in an Oklahoma City
hospital for treatment of stab
wounds inflicted in an attack on him
early Saturday morning, April 25.
Cochran said he was stabbed eight
times by one of two young men who
accosted him at a convenience store
on SW 29th Street and forced him to
drive them to a warehouse in the 900
block of S. McKinley where, Cochran
said, he was robbed of his watch, a
ring, about $50 and his identifica-
tion.
After he was stabbed, Cochran
said, "They pushed me out to be
dead.” The youths drove off in his
1985 automobile, which still was
missing April 25, according to Okla-
homa City police.
Cochran said he made his way
from the scene of the attack to a
residence a block or two away where
the homeowner called police. Capt.
M.T. Berry, of the OKC police, said
they were summoned at 5:45 a.m. to
the 1400 block of SW 11th.
Dear Soapbox:
I recently was shown some figures which showed how much cash the
banks must have sent into Wynnewood each week to maintain a certain
cAsh level. These figures are directly related to how much money is spent
here. When money is spent here it is most generally deposited back in the
banks here and less cash has to be brought back into town.
The figures show dearly that our money is not being spent at home.
In most cases our merchants can't compete with the large chain stores in
Pauls Valley, Sulphur, Ardmore, Norman, etc. because these stores buy in
larse quantities and can therefore offer items from a few cents to a few
dollars less, but at what cost to every person in our city?
We all want better streets, a prettier city, better schools, etc., and all of
these cost money, which to a large part comes from sales taxes. Money
spent here comes back to each of us many times over in the form of better
educational facilities for our children, better police and fire services, civic
improvements and much more.
The money spent outside Wynnewood goes back to the city where it is
spent.
If we keep spending our dollars elsewhere it’s not inconceivable that
someday there won't be local merchants. What do you think will happen to
the prices at those larger chain stores when they don't have local merchants
to compete with? Prices most probably will go out of sight.
Please take pride in our city. Help it grow and prosper. The few cents or
couple of dollars you think you save when you shop outside Wynnewood is
false economy.
It costs you money to drive there and back and in the end it will result in a
city that none of us will be proud of.
We need to support our own city. Select the merchants that you want to
do business with and trade with them. Ask them to carry the brands you
want to buy.
Take pride in our city and take satisfaction in watching it grow and
prosper.
The judges also have named 100
high school seniors with superior
academic records as “Academic
