An old 5,000 gallon transport
tank has been purchased by the
county for use by the Hereford
Volunteer Fire Department in
fighting county fires.
The county purchased the
tank for the department at a
cost of only $500 and the city
will provide the truck-tractor
with which to haul the mam-
moth tank to fires that are out-
side the city limits that require
a lot of water to fight.
“With this new tank, instead
of running back and forth be-
tween a fire and the city to fill
our trucks back up, we can take

the most, though, is their poise.
They are capable of coming
back if they are down. They also
have quite a bit of experience,
and these are some of the things
that concern me.'
The Thunderbirds have 15
starters back from a 9-3 team of
a year ago, including a premier
junior running back, Chris Man-
gold who has carried the ball
181 times this year for 904
yards.

Paso Coronado has posted a 47-

playoffs each of those four
years. The Thunderbirds lost to

Raises for the others in ques-

Atty. Andy Shuval had a chance
to contact the IRS and get a rul-
ing.
The county commissioners
had announced over a month a-
go that all employes would get
a raise as soon as the wage-
price freeze ended, which it did
on Nov. 13. The commissioners
had said they would give a 8 per
cent hike, but the Pay Board
limited all raises to 5.5, with on-
ly certain exceptions.
Because of the ruling of the
IRS, Mrs. Nunley and Mrs. Vea-
sey received salary hikes from
3551 per month to 3650 per
month. This Increase puts them
above what a deputy sheriff
makes.
“They are elected officials and
should be making as much or
more than the deputies, who are
not elected officials,” commis-
sioner Donald Hicks said. "This
is something that should have
been done some time ago.”
County maintainer operators
and foremen who work on Sat-

hourly wage of only $2.50.
Though the county could make

foremen work Saturdays without
pay increases, the commission-

The tank was purchased
through the Civil Defense. It
was used as a fuel tank at the
air base in Amarillo before it
was discarded.
“This will be like a traveling
fire plug," Spain said. "Our lit-
tle trucks only carry about 400
gallons, so you can see this is
going to be something real good
for us.
"It also will be better protec-
tion for the county on those fires
where it takes a lot of water to
put them out.”

The Thunderbirds will be

Doug Woodul at the quarterback

moves the team well on the
ground.
On defense, the ’Birds are
strong against a rush, which
could mean the Whitefaces may
have to go to the air more. They
average about 195 on the defen-
sive Une and can move with
considerable speed.
Probable starters for the
Thunderbirds on offense will be

Gene Barker at right end, Dale

at right guard, Gary Raileanu
at center, Woodul at quarter-
back, Mangold at left halfback.

The possibility of a $300,000
bond issue without an increase
in taxes may Ue just around the
corner for residents of Hereford,
it was disclosed at a special
meeting Tuesday of the Here-
ford Independent School Board
of Trustees.
The board authorized superin-
tendent Roy Hartman to pursue
the matter and get estimates on
several “sorely needed" pro-
jects in the school system. Hart-
man is expected to have some
formation available as to the
costs of the projects by the next
meeting of the board on Dec. 13.
Projects expected to draw
first priority are:
—Paving around the football
stadium, which is estimated at
about 345,000,
—Additional space for voca-
tional programs,
—New science facilities at
Stanton Junior High, estimated
at 3100,000,
—Renovation at two elemen-
tary schools, esti mated at
3100.000,
—Enlargement of the high
school auditorium,
—Installation of an all-weath-
er track at the football field, es-
timated at between 325,000 and
340,000 ,
—A new library at the high
school, estimated at about
3100.000, and
—New field house facilities for
visiting football teams.
"There are more needs than
these,” Hartman said, “and
with a 3300,000 bond issue, some
of these won’t even get done.
“These figures are purely es-
timates and they could be high-
er or lower. We will just have to
get someone to come in here and
sit down and get some accurate
figures for us.”
Hartman stressed that the
school could call a bond issue
for $300,000 without having to in-
crease the taxes. If it were not
for the fact that taxes would re-
main the same the system would
not even consider another bond
issue, he said.
The areas behind the stadium
bleachers are not paved and
during wet weather and football
games, fans have to walk
through mud to get into the sta-
dium.
On the library, Hartman said
the present library is inadequate
for the needs of the high school
and if a new library is built, the
present room could be turned in-
to either three separate class-
rooms or into a team-teaching
area.
“We are supposed to be able
to seat at least 10 per cent at
our total enrollment in our li-
brary at one time.” Bill Philips
told the board. “Or, about 100
students. As it is now, we can
squeeze about 60 in there."
A possible location for a new
library would be just south of
the band hall, Hartman said.
An addition to the field house
is needed, according to Hart
man, because of the Inconveni-
ence put upon other schools who
come here for a football game.
