TRESPASSERS ARRESTED
City police handle complaints
l^evelland police arrested
several men for trespassing dur-
ing the past few days.
One arrest was made at the
Levelland Vegetable Oil Mill at
1:05 a.m. Tuesday. Officers
were called to the break room at
the mill where they found a 17-
year-old who was intoxicated,
according to police records.
Plant supervisor Chris Demers
notified police later that day that
the company would press char-
ges against the man.
Thomas Twitty was arrested
at 12:54 a.m. Saturday at the
residence of Doris Watters at
205 Third St. Watters had called
police and told them Twitty had
forced his way into her resi-
dence and threatened her. After
searching around the neighbor-
hood, police discovered Twitty
inside a closet in Watters resi-
dence. He was later charged
with making a terroristic threat
against Watters.
Police also arrested two men
during a traffic stop at 2:59 a.m.
Sunday at Highways 114 and
385. The driver was given tic-
kets for running a red light, not
maintaining insurance and driv-
ing without a license. He is be-
ing held at the jail for the border
patrol as he is an illegal alien. A
male passenger was arrested for
public intoxication, and a female
passenger was taken to her
home on 12th Street, according
to police records.
Rosario Estrada of 410 Ave.
J, rear, notified police Saturday
that someone broke into her
home and stole 8175 from her
purse which was underneath a
bed. Estrada told the officer that
she was away from her home
from 8 to 9 that night, and when
she returned, the doors were
open. The officer noted that one
of the locks had been damaged.
A witness reported seeing a
beige pickup leave the area dur-
ing that time, police records
stated.

Texas Farm
Bureau
files suit
The Texas Farm Bureau and
five of its members have filed
suit against Secretary of Agri-
culture Richard Lyng and the
U.S. Deparment of Agriculture,
seeking inclusion of hay as a
perishable crop under the Immi-
gration Reform and Control Act
of 1986.
In a letter to Lyng, TFB
President S.M. True of Plain-
view explained that hay is “per-
ishable, labor intensive, and has
critical and unpredictable labor
demands.” True said hay’s in-
clusion as a perishable crop will
alleviate serious labor problems
experienced by hay producers.
“Making hay a perishable
crop will make it eligible for the
Special Agricultural Worker
(SAW) program. This is a
chance to help livestock produ-
cers who have been shut out of
this important source of labor,”
True said.
A similar suit was filed in
Lubbock last year seeking in-
clusion of cotton in the Act. That
suit resulted in cotton being
classified as a fruit, making it
eligible for the SAW program.
The five plaintiffs joining
Texas Farm Bureau in the suit
are Don Smith, dairyman, Sul-
phur Springs;.Russ Arnold, cat-
tleman, Trinity; James Wood,
rancher, Gilmer; and Warren
and Anna Madson, ranchers
from McLennan County.
Senior citizens
receive grant
U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm has
announced that ACTION has
awarded the Hockley County Se
Senior Citizens Association in
Levelland a Retired Senior Vol-
unteer Program grant of
$33,255.
The grant will provide con-
tinued assistance for a program
involving a total of 570 volun-
teers.
RSVP projects are planned,
operated and partially funded at
the local level.
Volunteers, who must be at
least 60 years old to participate,
perform various services for the
community, including work in
schools and centers dedicated to
health care, rehabilitation,
youth activities and day care.
ACTION is an independent
agency of the federal govern-
ment which oversees such pro-
grams as RSVP, the Peace
Corps, and VISTA, Volunteers
in Service to America.
