When Congressman
Jake Pickle visited Bastrop
right before Easter, he said
he thought the Social
Security rescue legislation
was "historic" and he was
happy to have had a role in
its passage. A local resident
reminded him that fame is
relative. The Bastrop
citizen told Pickle that on a

..Bastrop's feder-
al prison still may be a con-
troversial topic to some,
four years after it was
built, but down in Zavala
County, folks are anxious
to see a state prison built.
After Texas Department of
Corrections chief J.W.
Estelle said at least 2,500
acres would go off the
taxrolls and escapes could
occur, the localities in
Crystal City still said they
want the 2,000-man
medium security facility.
The $3 million-a-year
payroll was the main
reason and since Crystal
isn't near a big city (as
Bastrop is to Austin), it's
felt all the employees
would live locally and
spend the payroll in local
stores...Jerry Boozikee is

desert to Las Moches on

wore pants this time, said
Jerry and he doesn't know

Queen Elizabeth II's visit
to his old West Coast college
was a smash hit, according
to news reaching a Bastrop
alum. Stanford University
President Don Kennedy
and his wife Jeanne were
nervous about the visit of
her royal majesty and en-
tourage to their home and
all the details of protocol
(You don't talk to the
Queen until she speaks to
you, for example; or, heaven
forbid, never, never, touch
the Queen with your hands,
unless its a slight handshake,
as the mayor of San Diego
discovered too late). And
who do you invite to the
royal lunch for 92 persons
and who do you leave out?
Security got tight just
before the royal party's
arrival right on time. A
poked into
About 70 law officers were

wine was served. The
students, included Ronald
Wilson from Houston, a
petroleum engineering
student who is also in the
Stanford Ballet Folklorian
Mexican Dance Group,
said what most impressed
them was the Queen's
"composure."
There remained one
hurdle. The unpredictable
Stanford Band was outside
and yoi^ never know what
this band, like most
student musical organiza-
tions, might do. The band
played "Rule Brittania,"
"William Tell Overture",
and "Sultans of Swing"
and the Queen gave a
cherry wave from the
balcony. Then the band
broke the spell, chanting
"Go Queen!" as in "Go
Big Red" at a -football
game, not "Go," as the
Irish Republican sympa-
thizers yell. The students
also gave Her Majesty a
T-shirt about which her
husband, Prince Phillip,
said, "I can't wait to see
her in it."
In plenty of time for Her
Majesty's next trip to her
former colonies, we offer
this Bastrop itinerary for
consideration by the am-
bassadors who plan these
kinds of things:
Arrival of the Royal
Party must be very early in
the morning -- no later than
6 a.m. r- in order to catch

while he is still fresh and
before he begins nodding
off. The day's tour will
start with coffee at the
Texas Grill and the usual
running commentary on
cattle prices and what the

to say last night about her

Trying to cross Chestnut
from Water Street will take
so long (due to the never
ending parade of telephone
company trucks) that the
royal entourage will break
up into two groups: The
first will head for the
Bastrop Museum to look at
the collection of old . fans
and hear about the
Wilbarger scalping but, of
course, the museum will be
closed so the group will
head for Paige and the en-
campment of a missing bag-
pipe band. The second
group will go to Bastrop
High School to be enter-
„ tained by the Honey Bears,
auditioning for a trip to the
London Palladium. Along
the route, a line of local
mommies will hold up Jane
Hunt photos of their
babies, asking that the wee
ones be allowed to sit for
an instant in the royal lap.
At lunch, all the stops
will be pulled by the local \
hospitality committee,
fresh from its many trium-
phs this year on bringing
weekly events to Bastrop.
