million bonds have already
been put on the market and as,
soon ag they are sold, the final
papers will be signed

Bingo election set
Ari election is scheduled
in Montgomery County on Au-'
gust 14 that could have rever-
berations on numerous area
organizations, according to A-
ndy Walker of New Caney.
August 14 is the day
Montgomery Countians go to
the polls to decide whether
bingo should be legalized. The
State Legislature has passed a
strict bingo law which requires
it to be sponsored by non-profit
organizations to be legal and
must be approved by the vo-
ters.
Walker is chairman of
the Committee Supporting Bi-
ngo arid is backed by the
American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars and Disabled
American Veterans among o-
thers.
Walker said these three
veterans organizations spend
more than $500,000 annually on
charttable organizations and
without the funds from the
legal bingo games, they would
have to cut back oh their
contributions.
Among the organizations
that receive funds from the
veterans are Senior Citizens
clubs. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Little League, Boys State,
Girls State,VA Hospital, Heart
Fund, Muscular Dystrophy,
handicapped children, cancer
research, scholarships and
many more.
Walker said they just
purchased a $12,000 "Jaws of
Life” machine for the New
Caney Fire Department which
is used to remove persons
trapped m cars or trucks
involved in accidents and can
save mapy lives.
, “Wl provide emergency
aid for veterans, donate to
education projects, children,
food for needy families, help
with hospital bills when need-
ed and gwe aid to families who
have been burned out of their
homes,” Walker said. „
